The (new) FF Art Exhibition Thread!!
 
The Great Exhibition


23/06/07
A new work from Ihmhi is available for your viewing pleasure. See also a sublime work from Zydell which, rescued from obscurity, now stands open for the public to see.
N.B. Ihmhi has kindly offered to host images for anyone on his server. Feel free to PM him with your image details and he will be delighted to help.

26/05/07
Please admire the works from some of our newest artists. Geokill, Ihmhi and Hawk Eye. GeoKill's works show particular promise as he is one of the few artists who has taken his 'moving' art beyond the realm of static representation.

17/05/07
Welcome to the Exhibition's second incarnation!
The good news is that there is a new work on display (see own3r) and Ihmhi has promised some more are on the way.
The bad news is that one of our most esteemed artists' masterpieces is MISSING! The 'Grenade Butt Catapult Concept' which used to be kept here: http://www.fortress-forever.com/user...oncept/gbc.jpg
has vanished.
If anyone knows the whereabouts of this work please contact me.

Request:
As always the Exhibition is looking for more artist's and more artwork. (Especially official FF concepts) Showcase your work and claim notoriety around the globe.*

History:
The FF Gallery was established in 2006 to promote the work of contemporary and surrealist artists across the world.

Since opening, the Gallery's Collection, exhibitions, audiences and programs have grown in size, complexity and diversity. Following the Great Server Crash of 2006 the Gallery embarked upon a renovation project, encouraged and funded the well-wishers Suite307 and Ihmhi. This resulted in the opening of its current architecturally-acclaimed second thread in the General Discussion of 2007.

The plans to include an outdoor feature pool have been postponed indefinitely.

As well as having a permanent display of fine paintings and drawings, the FF Gallery boasts some of the finest works, from international and national artists alike.

The FF Art Gallery is open to the public seven days a week.

*Disclaimer: You may 'claim' global notoriety. This may or may not entitle you to wild parties with celebrities, cultivating a moustache goatee and interviews with TeenVogue and/or the Economist.

The exhibition is arranged by artisté.

Artist's notes: Just made it grainy, put the sniper in with a new arm position, created a modest light burst from the sun and enhanced its brightness and made the face / suit of the sniper reflect the light to make it look more natural.

'Medic 1 2 3' (Date unknown) GeoKill
Critical appreciation: The aptly titled Medic 1 2 3 is a powerfully suggestive work, which serves at one level to criticise the health insurance culture of America, and on another, to compliment the dynamic form with a conceptual allusion to infinity apparent in the title. Indeed, the jumping medic seems, like Prometheus, bound to the eternal repetition of his motions. A punishment, perhaps, for a crime that leaves the viewer questioning the very nature of sin itself.

Artist's Comment: :D
Critical analysis: Reminiscient of Salvador Dali's 'Soft Construction With Boiled Beans' this work's highly Freudian allusions to the release of the subconscious (represented by the mythical dragon), marks it out as a truly remarkable piece. What it has to do with Fortress-Forever I have no clue, but one should never be so bold as to question the artist's intentions. No doubt the answer is obvious and shall be revealed in time.

Dude, Nezumi, nice skills in whatever program that is. A+

Circuitous 05-25-2007 10:32 PM

I'd like to make those into skins actually.

Don 05-26-2007 01:28 AM

Updated.

By the way Circuitous, - what happened to the drawings you made on circuitous.net? I had a look at the site and its been turned into a wiki. yuk!:-P

Circuitous 05-26-2007 01:45 AM

Eh, the ones that aren't on the site anymore are still on my harddrive somewhere.

The site... it almost got used that time, I swear!... Yeah, I dunno. Need to sort out my art again and put the shit on there. Which... actually that's exactly what I do now, you just don't see it ever 'cuz it's all stashed in the image folder along with every stupid thing I decide to make.

On a related note, anybody know of any, like... art blogs? A photo blog would work. Something I can install myself.

Ihmhi 05-27-2007 03:35 AM

Dude, you could just install Wordpress...

btw, I suck but I am contributing nonetheless:

Circuitous 05-27-2007 03:41 AM

Yeah except I already had Wordpress and it was definitely not what I wanted.

However, I now have pixelpost and it works just fuckin' dandy, so I'm happy.

Hawk Eye 05-27-2007 06:17 AM

Oi.... my link broke :/ first time Imageshack failed me.

http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/6...robgqr3.th.jpg

Ihmhi 05-27-2007 08:09 AM

Hey Don, if you would like, I will host all of the images offa my web server so they never disappear again.

Don 05-27-2007 08:13 AM

Sounds like a good idea. Kind of you to offer.

Ihmhi 05-27-2007 10:57 AM

Mneh, I have a buttton of bandwidth that I am not really using, and so long as the images are JPEGs and whatnot I am fine with it. Any BMPs will be ruthlessly converted! d;

I will get around to downloading the images, uploading them to my server, and then PMing you the new links so you can update the thread.

And will someone, oh please, will SOMEONE find the butt catapult? ):

Bubbles 06-20-2007 01:21 AM

The Critical analysis on "Dragon vs. Nine" blew my mind, dude!

Ihmhi 06-23-2007 02:31 AM

Don, new art by me, please add to the main thread.
