To the person who said my digital art wasn't real art
Recently I was sent a "Facebook user" message that stated very clearly that I was a fraud because I did digital composites with photography. That how could I call myself an artist when I was just using Photoshop. I was a fake and a thief. This hurt to start with and then I stopped and thought about it. This person obviously had no idea what went into each composite. Let me explain.. first off I take the photo .. yes that is right you dipstick I take the original photo. And its normally on a day when I am shooting at a cosplay event for oooo 8+ hours. This can be a two day event, most often a three day event. I then have to edit the 600+ photos that I take per day.. general edits you know make them look up to standard. Process them at full resolution and a social media resolution. Once that is done I then start analysing to see which ones I want to composite. Once I have an idea of that I then go on an inspirational hunt to find images. You know othe
