Mostly fan art, unless it is about technical painting and concept art.

Oh and those 640x420 my naked skin CAPTURES!

Photomanip?!?!?!?! you gotta be kidding me?!
Just because techniques are PARTLY unconventional and mostly unknown?!?!?!

It is usually people who have no idea about nothing who vote that. I would personally serve their useless holes if it comes to reasoning.

Digital painting?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!? Are you nutttttts?! go pick something a little less technical people.

But seriously, I think you should have an "other" option. Cause all the above are at some level some respectful genre of art. I just personally happen to dislike the manga things.
Oh and those "hey look at me I am cheap and tastelessly naked" images, those are definitely not art.

lol yeah, that poll was pure sarcasm and I tried to avoid any "other" or "all" votes, I wanted people to decide. I admit, it's not very fair.

I totally agree with you about the "artictic" nude-myspace shots, they are kind of annoying, though I don't browse that section too often lol. And I honestly don't know why people would choose digital painting, that's just silly.

=PSYXXARTS Mar 14, 2009 Professional Digital Artist

Yeah I got that!
Obviously the reason for the "why" is lack of knowledge.
And about the nude captures, that makes me miss the old front page on v.5 where we could choose what to have on it. that was a good one!

=ErikShoemaker Mar 17, 2009 Hobbyist Digital Artist

yes you're right, that was a pretty cool feature!

I voted fan art but really any of them if done well are extravagant. For example, Kire's Zelda piece could be considered fan art. Fan art is just the one that has the worst good:bad ratio in my opinion

fan "art"
nothing original there, except the idea of first creator.

i am really surprised of the results from this poll
i never expected "abstract" and "photomanipulation" to be on the first places
and if literature is not art then..
ok i stop now.
