Ancient Temple painting - Photo bashing tips 

"It's free real estate"

I'd sue man. 😂

Wait what? You used the GI and still owed? I just juiced them on my art deg and kept it moving. I am sorry to hear that my brother!

It got turned around. There was a huge lawsuit and they dropped the amount I owed a few months ago. Sent me a check in the mail for a little over 400 bucks with a letter that more or less said thanks for playing. Apparently I don't owe anything anymore but that check didn't cover anywhere near the amount they took from me and I still get calls from loan sharks from time to time claiming I owe them money. 7 years of my life gone and I still didn't even get enough money out of it to go back to school. I'd like to at least attend community college. Oh well. SMH 😒

May God bless you bro

wish i could do it

you sure did put a line down with that name Jesus christ

He DOES sound like Kevin Smith

Photobashing is not cheating. There is no cheating in art except plagiarism.

And what part of snatching a bunch of other people's photos merging them together and calling them a painting is not plagiarism.

I mean yeah it is technically plagiarism LOL....generally though, the artists don't sell the work itself because it is not their own. It is generally only used for design purposes for a game like a concept for a model or a sprite.

witchy thats not true , theres a line between plagiarism and sampling ... in music you can even take a sample from music of the superstars .. as long as you bend, warp, cut, modify it enough its legit ... if you copy the whole melody and just add a new text its plagiarism though ., but what i wanna say the rules/laws are very loose and if you modify something beyond recognistion its actually not plagiarism by law

he wanted to archieve that tho xD

Yeah, he literally said that at 5:42

You can use Krita. It's a free art programme and has most Photoshop features. Edit: also if you want to photobash over 3D models, you can use Sketch up and/or Blender. They are both free

Gleamiarts sketchup ain’t free man 😔 would be happy if it was.

Steal them shit nigga you have the people's permission

"buy it" wink wonk wink wonk..

Hey Godfrey. It's a good suggestion. I personally don't work that way usually. I use very few photos in my character designs. But it is a process which many concept artists use. I will add it to my list of possible future workshops though. Thanks for the suggestion!

You can use Sketchbook Pro to photobash as well, but I havent done a video about how to do that yet. Also... any pursuit of knowledge and passion is NEVER a waste of time or money. Think of the connections youve made, and the opportunity to see the world a different way as a lesson well learned. Try to see the value in it, even if it means that you learned NOT to do something. You'll be happier about all if it in the end if you do:)

Trent Kaniuga ty so much for your reply and advice. I appreciate it. well the school I wanted was full sail..that was my dream school but I couldnt afford it. still cant. but that's ok. So it is safe to say I did invest in my dream but it went left. 😕 However I've been getting back into learning all this stuff and even invest my time to learn more of human anatomy for concept drawings and this comic book idea I had for years but never knew where to start. now I do. I have Adobe cs2..and Sketchbook pro 6.2 already so these 2 are fairly great for me to have. I had corel..but I don't think it was the full version. didn't get it really. but I'm still learning how to illustrate my characters..coloring and blending. .adding shadows in photos hop is a bit difficult for me. but hopefully soon I will invest more and buy one those instruction videos from gumroad. can't wait and ty. please do a video if you can on photo bashing in sketchbook pro. I had no clue you could. or if not I'll find it. 😄😉👍✌💪

Over 2 years late, but he uses photoshop!

Thomas Eibl I go by the rule of making it unrecognizable. Even if you say the pieces, you’d never guess that it was used here.

I never use this technique. This was the first time in over a decade that I used photos in this way. But I may start to use them more for my illustrated work. I wouldnt use them in hearthstone art, because they tend to want a very painted feel.

No one gonna strike a copyright at you if you make your painting transformative with photobashing. Trent in his video use many rocks photos and combine all of them to make a new different one and add a little bit painting on it, so it became different (different than its source photo) and transformative.

lol.

Yes, I just started learning game maker through Udemy. I'd like to have some of my own art tutorials on there as well, but I'm not as structured as some of the other instructors.

Yea I get your point but most artists from what I have seen just want a working curriculum, I pretty sure with just a layout you could make a great lesson plan and bring in a bunch of people interested in your art style.

Once you've altered an image to the extent they have been in this video, you no longer need permission.

I'm pretty sure that only applies if you use the entirety of an image, or a significant portion of it un-edited. Here he just used pictures of locations rather than original works, and even then he highly modified them, so I don't think there'd be any legal stuff involved here.

I'm pretty sure its a legal grey area actually. IDK, I always learned to avoid relying on fair use whenever possible. If its non-comercial work of course it doesn't matter but I could see problems arising if a photographer can clearly identify any part of their photo in something used in a triple A game. But I assume Trent knows what he's doing so, IDK. Just not a risk I'd take personally.

A common but wrong misconception. In the USA at least, it is illegal to use any of the photo without permission for paid work. Does not matter how much you edit it... Kind of like.. if you steal car, and then use the parts in 30 different cars... it is still illegal. Even if you paint them... even if you melt the metal down and make a saucepan... still illegal... hence the reason we now have digital property rights. However.... most people lack the money to take you to court. Most people probably won't see their photo used like this... most people will never EVER know you used their photos... such is life. If you do make HUGE $$$ from using someones photos... it might be nice to give them some... but then how would you explain you stole it first... There are A LOT of free, and legal places to get stock photos. Deviant art for example has many people uploading free images. Pixabay has awesome photos. Many governments have a HUGE pool of photos anyone can use, often historical but also modern, especially from the military (not just military photo but locations too etc).

probably 100+
