Aro's Artwork

Aro · Alcohol Fueled **Joined**: 10 Sep 2006

Well out of boredom I Thought I'd start playing around In Photoshop a bit more as it can become very useful for quite a lot of things.
I Made this picture during a conversation about smoking even though I smoke myself.

True. So does drinking.
Cheers on the good attempt. Might make a very useful avatar.

Nice work. Watch it that when you downsize it, the skullncrozzbonez needs an outline, to make it more clear.

One could ask what good smoking and so-called over-drinking does to you?

Nice work, maybe you could try to replace the bones with cigarettes and make the smoke come out of those?

Alcohols, specially wine, are relatively good for your health, in small ammounts.
Wine contains antioxidants, compounds that can react with "free radicals" (which are highly reactive compounds), neutralizing them.
Free radicals can easily react with the DNA, which can lead to several acquired genetic diseases, like cancer, based on a random mutation.
The probability of such mutation happening, increases if the affected gene is a tumor suppressor/DNA reparation gene (like p53).
And BTW, cigarettes produce cancer because they increase the production of free radicals.

Further reading.
On a side note, many common aliments have lots of carcinogen compounds, specially those with synthetic red, yellow, and the colors between them, colorants, and also some dietetic foods.

BTW, nice work Aro.

that's true!

beer can be good for your health, but not too much! or else you'll get a beer belly. social drinking's fine imho.

Lets not go off-topic in my thread...

So artwork topics are the "in thing" now, ever since i started them #Tongue

Interesting, though the background is a bit too much, learn how to use Layer Masks #Tongue

it relates to your artwork because what <i>is</i> your message? Neutral

so its really not off-topic. but back to the image :p

just saying it needs something that stands out, everything is like trying to grab your attention that it makes it homogeneous..

People are refering to Alcohol rather than Smoking / Cancer, non-the-less: I Thought that the Text was an eye-catcher. I've got more things to show you later on but I'll have to finish them first.

well its all red..so.=/

.play around with colors, and compositional elements like domination,sub-dom. and subordinate elements. focal point..etc.

Nice picture Aro!
Smoking kills, but I would have to kill those trashy hip-hopper non-working-from-laziness heavy smokers under my window to not have damaged lungs (smoke each night from 9-10:p. m. till 2 a. m.)! #Mad

Tip to all polite smokers: If you have to smoke , don't send smoke to non-smokers.

Alcoholic drinks are medicine, that's old wisdom. Wink

Red wine (1 glass a day) is good on heart , beer (1litre 10° a day) contains vitamins and it's good on prevention of some cancers (stomach, entrails, urocyst) like wine.

Coffee (coffein) is good against hepatic cirrhosis, it's also good on blood circulation, against some cancers or Parkinson illness. Also tee or chocolate.

But tabacoo smoke? Only against insects, use rather electronical cigarette (without tar) if you need it...

I think THIS PICTURE SHOULD BE ON CIGARETTE PACKETS rather than that inexpressive text and I would add some black lungs too. Wink

EDIT: DON'T SMOKE IN OIL REFINERY! #Tongue

On the other hand, some ppl are smoking for decades and many non-smokers die before smokers on accidents, it's just your health, just remember on ppl around you when (if) you need smoke!

Here are a couple of pictures I edited of myself out of pure boredom:

This one is something I did a very long time ago, I Used blood brushes and the unreal brushes only If I remember correctly.

This one I did just last week cause I had a spare moment and I needed a picture or two extra for my Myspace page:

Then there was this one which I did for exactly the same reason:

Then theres this one which I did just yesterday. I Was bored and wanted to try some different effects. I Was happy with how it turned out.

Only about a year, I'm a fast learner. I'm still not as good as Hyper or DaTS, but I'll get there eventually.

Well done! I was waiting for someone to get that.
That banner was an entry into a banner competition on CnC-Comm.com and I won... shockingly. As for the G.O.W. clan, I made that for a member here a while ago.
