haha.. see what i mean.. told you that you'd get the "meh" kinda response...its nobodys fault really.. just that if you haven't seen it.. it really is quite hard for someone to "get it". The subjectivity of art is something that i have come to love so much..and also sometimes loathe..haha.. All in all i think its beautiful.
There will always be something that is "mainstream" and accepted by most, if not all..what is beautiful, what is accepted, what should be done, what colors go together, what you should NOT use...believe me.. beauty CAN be conditioned...so at the end of the day, you can choose to create (still) good scapes that are "in-line with the current train of thought" and win prizes and acclaim... or create good scapes that "aren't sooooo in-line" and remain true and happy to YOUR own vision. Personally, i almost always chose the latter, many of my own scapes come from first hand experiences in certain settings of nature in which i work...then when i get home i jot down to do it up in my tanks...which probably explains why nobody enjoys my scapes as much as me...hahaha..and i think it should be that way..because it is at the end of the day your scape and something you would have to live with everyday. Unless you're in this for the money...then maybe bend your stupid artistic ethics and 1:1.68 that damn scape now!
