That's so sad the Gallery has changed and slowed down so much. And tip.it too, its just lost activity. We're losing to RSC! D: I really want to see some traditional art trades. We don't necessarily need to ship it to each other, but just take pictures and appreciate the gesture. Or maybe even a photoblog thead, where we just post 1 intriguing photo they had taken that day and explain in a paragraph what was their intention. Then you blog about what meaning that photo has to you. Its good intellectual stimulation to try to get everyone's art analyzation broader and being able to use terminology that is more helpful than, "Dunno dude, it may look better brighter." This may be more helpful, "The lighting on the portion of the composition isn't covering all the interesting points on the space. If there was more light towards that area it'd bring out the focus." I dunno though guys, some suggestions.

I hate Steve Aoki, he's everything that is the hipster electro house scene.

Those are pretty sick. I've wanted these for awhile, but I'll never have it. Its like one of those things you wish for but can never have, even if you had money for it. http://uk.burberry.com/fcp/product/clothing-accessories/men%27s-shoes/lace-up-ankle-shoes/10000006054?colour=cordovan&lastcategoryurl=true?int_cid=mens_shoes_hero_160909_10000006054 Absolutely amazing. The cut and color are fantastic.

No, that would kill the aspect ratio. Do you even know what an aspect ratio is? I bet he does, and I agree with him. Little put the sky like that for effect reasons. The issue is that the horizon line is what your eyes automatically focus to, it helps create the balance between the space and the focal point. What I see on the picture the rock and wave direction should be the focal point. So cropping the large sky out and putting the moving waves to lead towards the bottom, and the waves above the rock lead into the distance. Sets your eyes in an easier place. Those lines I drew are the lines of movement and placing the focal point somewhere more fitting. The rock shouldn't be on the middle, it creates a huge split in the picture. It also distinguishes distance. Placing it higher up makes it look further back, giving more room for the bottom to flow easier. Lines: Recropped:

I thought Wing was awful, and 00 was alright. 00 was the reincarnation of Wing, so I didn't expect much from it. My favorites has to be: Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory Char's Counter Attack Zeta Gundam Mobile Suit Gundam 08th MS Team Gundam Seed Destiny: Stargazer (Hey, those shorts were amazing, why wouldn't the series be like that?)

Just a personal preference, but I would crop the sky out a bit. Seems to take up too much space, the horizon cuts off about 60%.

Eh it has its humour, but much more of a scifi space battle anime. Its a good watch. No dude, Akira will be amazing. Akira has influenced so many directors in their movies, just like Ghost in the Shell. I have a feeling Akira will have much respect and attention to detail. There is a live action death note being made. Zac Efron is "Luke", and the death note corrupts his mind to make him kill people. Yes. Really. Also, live action cowboy bebop with Keanu Reeves as Spike. Thats not as bad, but still. L: Luke, use the Death Note. Luke: "OUCH WHY DID YOU CUT OFF MY HAND?" Ryuk: Luke, I am your father.

So i'm a trance artist and inventor.

Quit making excuses and take some crit. You post a picture that you think is aesthetically pleasing, we comment to help you get better. The right wall is actually very distracting, as people previously have commented. Also, the fence on the bottom should be in focus.

That's really depressing and sad. Ony old ones I like are Initial D, Evagelion, GTO, and Macross. Oh hell yeah. I really recommend Space Battleship Yamato and Captain Harlock if you like Macross. Also the movie Do You Remember Love.

I don't see how being a Christian has any relevance in this topic nor an intelligent opinion. Since you stated your religious preference prior to what you wanted to comment I can't take anything you say seriously. Not to mention you have contradicted yourself in the second paragraph. You said, "In the past being obese/fat is attractive." That's actually incorrect and a common misconception. Being large and, "Big," meant that you were wealthy and were able to supply themselves with an abundance of food. They were the higher caste in society. That was why they were in a sense attractive to the public. They weren't desired because of their copious amounts of cellulite but rather their source of income and how much they had in their banks. See this: Both wealthy. King Louis XIV: Prince William & Prince Harry: People have been worrying about their well being for ages, I don't see why we would ever stop doing that. Also, food isn't abundant. I would assume that you're around 13 or 14 years old. You have a roof over your head, and you don't have to worry about your fridge ever being empty. Once you have your own job and you're supporting yourself you will realize how easy it is to starve.

That's really depressing and sad.

Did you completely miss the entire point? I probably did, but let me take a shot: We're not really happy because we're greedy/all look for the same thing? Right? Not at all. I just stated why humans desire to achieve. Its not like i'm some Hippie Liberal all for equality, I do firmly believe money is everything.

Did you completely miss the entire point?

That's... not particularly hygienic. not really, i'm not rolling around in dirt or anything, im just wearing them around school or somewhere out and that's it. most of my jeans are raw anyways so i don't want to wash them What raws you repping? APCs and Nudies are favorites of mine.

Haha thanks for reading. I just wanted to rant for awhile, you can reply with your thoughts on it haha. But yes, community service announcement from Shin.

Today in a conversation with a very close friend of mine we were having inhibited philosophical discussions and heated debates about daily life. We as humans act in a very animalistic way, where we have our own needs or desires that are needed to be fulfilled immediately or worked for towards the future. We buy nice things, dress ourselves in a presentable manner, or strive towards our goals for self satisfaction. But what is satisfaction? Why do we have the need to accomplish ourselves when people are looking, but when the blind eye is turned we revert back to our old selves? Now i'm not saying that everyone does this, but from my general observation of people in daily life they tend to do this, a lot. I myself am guilty but I'm trying to fix it haha. Now back towards my accusation of us humans acting like animals, like we are no better than that insect, or a peacock in a coop. Self satisfaction is the gain we receive from our hard work. Then, hard work equates money which purchases us luxuries in life. Money is a powerful thing. The more money you have, the more power and wealth you are able to amass by using the amount you have prior. In a way, it is very similar to the survival of the fittest. Money is that chip you receive to proceed further. When people are looking, it matters. We are attracted towards the opposite sex(Well most of the time). We are attracted because we have the desire to preserve our legacy through our raging hormones to impregnate or get impregnated. Now currency helps out this game tenfold. Remember when I talked about pea[roosters]? Male pea[roosters] present their feathers to females, and the female peacock will choose the male with the best colors or feathers. We are the same way. We buy nice clothes, have nice possessions like cars, houses, and property to flaunt it to the world to see. Money buys us these material possessions in order to look like a peacock. Just take a look into your own daily life. You know that hot chick/guy at your school/workplace that you can't help but stare at everyday? They're attractive because you want to pass your genes on with them because there will be a higher chance of your children being beautiful. But i'm sure you can't obtain them and win that game called, "Produce a child," by just daily interaction. You have to have substance behind you that is gained by money. Good looks and a great personality alone will win a girl/boy's heart, but not their future children. I'm sure you guys already realize this, but its a point where i'd like to share again to the younger folks of this board. I may sound like a crazy person, but please bear with me haha. I can indeed say, "Jesus Christ how horrifying." Do you guys agree? Also, do you weigh yourself with this perspective?

Hey, Wutang is eternal. Might as well turn this into the general hiphop thread haha. Also, F that to Atmosphere or Sage. Slug and Sage represent what everything is good to the culture and puts a good image on underground hiphop. Just because they got well known doesn't change the fact that they still are underground.I could even say the same to Immortal Technique but he's just a dumb nig from NY. Also, some pretty sick stuff from your bud. You got a link to an album? [bleep] you.

Oh hell yeah. Cold Vein has to be my favorite album by them. How long you've been into hiphop?

Aphex Twin Autreche Boards of Canada Tangerine Dream Jackson and his Computer Band The Flashbulb(Flexe, Benn Jordan) Evol Intent How the hell can you manage to listen to that ? Hardcore [cabbage]. It's just noise, not sound. No development, no advancement. No sense of "fulfillment at the end". It's just boring UNEXISTWAS/ISGAY over and over again, over a continous loop of broken speaker. Different people, different strokes haha.

You have a wrong impression of the genre. Underground hiphop is labeled as it is because its not the mainstream. The culture is heavily influenced in the music, where the artists would make a positive and project a good image for the genre instead of marketed music. You would see much more creative beats, interesting lyrics and you won't have a hook every 64 measures in the the song for filler. Its not because they haven't made it, its because they choose not to and feed the fans of what they want to produce and not what the industry expects of them. Well clearly if its not mainstream it most likely wont have a label, or is signed to an indie label. Also when artist aren't mainstream they usually aren't wildly know outside their home region (City/state). When I say conscious hip-hop I'm talking about artist with meaningful lyrics, etc. You can say underground but that could cover anyone who hasn't made it big. The two overlap, don't get me wrong, I just feel the impression that this topic is more about conscious hip-hop rather then just underground in general. I don't see why you're so set on labeling a genre, rather then appreciating or talking about it. Now it just sounds like you're trying to be politically correct or picking a fight. Its been established as underground hiphop, no more, no less. Yes, the terms overlap but fans will not make that same mistake. Yes, it is Concious Hiphop however it is referred as Undergroup Hiphop. Are you even a fan of the genre?

That is Industrial more than anything.
