When I require attention I'll instruct people to give it to me.
I just got a shitty on because when most people are asking me to do portraits I offered to paint Rob's sprog and he dismissed it out of hand. I may as well just shop spongy eyes on birds for the rest of my natural.

Maybe he has a unique taste/his own opinion? It is OK for people not to like things you make, if they take 1 hour+ or not. I quite dislike the Eiffel Tower.

Rob could get pretty much anyone to paint his kid, you painting him then asking if he wants you to paint angus, it just looks like you're sucking up to him for whatever reason. Besides, you already said that you don't actually paint those, you just apply some filters to them, which kind of defies the point. It's not like they look especially good. No offence.
Secondly, simply by posting something, and especially by complaining no-one likes your work, you are asking for attention. Just because it's not explicit, doesn't mean it's not there.

two. I don't care what people think. I type to elicit a response.
three. I never EVER said I applied filters to my brushed artwork, you just assumed it. If I't's filters then reproduce it. I'm only having a laugh with my original post but being told I just apply a couple of filters? That pisses me off.

surely it's the interpretive aspect that is important?

I've not traced anything in months and then only for vectors.

I have pencils older than you and whilst I have barely sat by and watched you ridicule others who try and create original works don't for a minute think I will put up with it when it's directed at me little boy. You would be better served putting your energy into creating something new of your own rather than gaining a reputation for slagging off the work of others.

what the fuck does that mean?
edit/ tell you what, when this amazing new "painting" style of yours makes you rich and famous, then and only then will I let you lord it over me. Until then, I will consider you a sad old man.

I misread this post. My criticism would be that your portraits look uglier than the original images. Although, modern art likes that occasionally.

it's a kind of impasto style meant to look like acrylic paints.

after you've completed the tutorial, if you ever do. Try submitting it anyway, it could still get in as it's useful to everyone even if Rob himself didn't want one doing.

dodge, burn, blur again.
duplicate blend multiply, repeat. It gets there in the end.

be glad that other people are asking you for them. Just 'cause he doesn't want one, doesn't mean you should stop.

"I'll do you a deal. I'll paint Angus' portrait if you promise to newsletter the tutorial I'm doing for the technique."
So you weren't just offering to make a picture, you were asking for something in return. If Rob had accepted, every mong who wants to see their name in the newsletter would have come out of the woodwork making similar offers. I don't think he had any choice but to politely decline.

I was joking, when it was pointed out to me that I seem to be moaning I posted the portrait comment so as to validate my 'moaning'. I need to go to bed. Most people daytime just accept that I'm looking for a rise and just having a laugh

I'm all good. I just wanted to cause a little tumble as I am wont to do. I did not expect it to become some kind of mass debate.
I knoew people like my shit whatever the medium. Moaning that they don't has become 'de riguer' and I thought people would see the funny side. Now it just looks stupid and boring.
