Look at this Photoshop image

I used to watch this guy on The Screensavers until Techtv was taken over.

| ... if you want to do images like this, why do it in Photoshop? Why not a 3D program? |
Why not by hand? Did it really 'need' a squillion layers?
Nope....

Who care how he did it, right? I thought it was all about supporting the community, to express themselves any way they like and use any tools they feel comfortable with.
I guess not today.
Why skin? All you need is a camera, right? Sheesh....

To clarify....he's used a huge image res.....and made it all so intricate but over-complicated with layers,etc....and in so doing has lost overall clarity/continuity of scale and perspective, a problem when the screen is too small for the image as a whole.
More effort should have gone into sketching for scale and proportion.
First....

Other than that looks pretty good.

I used to watch Burt Monroy on the old Screen Savers as well, the guy is incredibly talented.
This guy is also an incredible Photoshop artist: http://www.shinybinary.com/
Of course, from the looks of this thread, Photoshop isn't considered a valid medium here anymore.

| I don't get all the bashing |
It's not 'bashing', it's critical comment by those who may not be as 'wowed' by effort expended as by results shown.
Photoshop is as poor a tool as any other. Being sufficiently anal to detail to the n'th degree is all well and good but if the direction is less than perfect so will be the outcome.
[I am also my sister's hashest critic....though it was she, not me that was 'hung' for the Archibald Prize this year [Australia's premier 'contest' for portraiture]]...

The reason? Why even question that... photoshop is just another medium, like paint, pencil, plaster, photography, and so on.... asking why is like saying why paint at all when there are cameras (which actually has been in debate off and on in the art world since cameras were introduced, more or less its impact but still). Just my 2 cents...
