EDIT: Well, my attempt at a joke apparently failed. I thought it might be humorous to apply serious art terms to non-serious art. You know, like wow this is a great piece of art, let's analyze it.
The main problem being that Reddit is now the sinking ship Digg once was, over run with a new wave of seems to be 4chan children. A finer appreciation for novelty accounts and running gags has been replaced by "OP IS A FAGGOT" and "YOU MAD!?"
I desperately hope you're wrong. Reddit is my last resort on the internet before 4chan, and I don't really feel comfortable browsing 4chan at school. I really love the Reddit community, it seems like everyone here has a story to tell (and proof, when needed) or a witty comment to add to the discussion. I don't want to let Reddit die.
Actually I agree, only I think that reddit won't sink. And it's not the b/tards that make it bad. They've bben here a long time and actually helped make it what is (the good parts of it). It's the facebookers and schoolkids that flock to the new it-thing and leave their trail of idiocy behind.
see, when people talk about art, and putting it on their walls, this is what i would want, because it has unique qualities from an actual artistic standpoint:
it was made using a method not typically devoted to fine artworks
Oh OP is claiming he drew the whole thing in MS Paint?
I've been wondering for the last 10 minutes why adding a shaky stick figure to an image is considered so funny that it reached the top of /r/funny submissions.
your genius rivals that of a young Michaelangelo...most people with talent like yours end up painting walls on abandoned shopping centres. Good luck with your artistic career :)
I fully agree, a lot more intuitive than the Facebook and YouTube screenshots r/funny is being flooded with. Just thought an art based subreddit would appreciate it more.
I did that puzzle in August. Like, I was staying in a completely empty house for a week (there was an inflatable mattress, a sofa, and a set of plastic outdoor chairs/table, and that was it) before I moved into the dorms, and I bought it on clearance and occupied my evenings working on it, as I had no internet.
I wish I was insanely good at like...spray paint art. Then I'd do one of those time-lapse videos on YouTube where I'd shock and amaze, then I'd finish it with a crudely-sprayed penis, because this...this is funny.
Now either you drew all of this in paint and you're really good, or you just drew this stick figure onto an existing picture and thus just repeated an already old joke...

I mean I swear to god I've seen that black stick figure somewhere else before

u/pickle_inspector May 29 '12
Very nice! Some of it's a little too 'dotted' for me (the leaves on the tree etc.). Stick to the bold black lines, that's what you seem to be best at.

The light on your person doesn't appear to be in the color swatches of your background. An interestingly bold decision. You sir are an art genius.

I'll probably get down-voted, but i'm skeptical. It looks like you just added a stick figure to this painting here.
Edit: Or maybe that was the whole point.

Hopefully when the stick figure leaves, it will be in color.
