I thought this was something different but then to my astonishment it is the same old crap you were showing ages ago and since then I notice that there are a few more people like midiot, deckard007, Rabitt77 etc who have very intelligently stated their objections to your endless postings of work that is just so bad, repetitive and lacking any skill whatsoever and other work that is so obviously traced (see Rabitt77’s brilliant post and picture) that you must be THICK as a brick or just because of your age senile or whatever but MANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN! get a GRIP and stop this garbage. You are making a total fool out of yourself and wasting valuable forum space and being a hog to boot. Evidently your wife has a lot to do with this belligerance. ???
Have some pride man!!!
OK - SAID AND GONE BUT PLEASE STOP !
Interesting read for those interested in facts and concerned about them.

words fail me.
CRUCIFIED CRAP

CRAPIFIED CRAP
I`m sick of seeing this crap in the bottom row.
Even if this will gain me a ban on the forum, this is a huge disrespect for all the posters. The same crap posted a thousand times. And it is crap, look at that ****ing child with his problematic legs, balding head, the half asssed wind mills and the missused Danko Skeleton, the completely ****ed up composition. No OLD ****ING MASTER would agree with that.
For all the strange people sustaining his posts, open your eyes, I know 9 yo kids who are doing better.
Not my choice of words… but… SD… you can do better… cmon…
Freedom of EXPRESSION…A WIP. 
If he weren’t so obstinate towards those that would help him through crit and suggestion, then yes, he might be able to do better. But as soon as anyone comments, in anyway, about how he can improve (sure, some harsher than others, but whatever, it’s not an emotional support group here) he begins posturing and name dropping, goes on about how he knows it all and he is the new creative messiah. He mentions his friend on CGTalk that will beat you up. Then he puts 3 cones together and calls it a windmill.
Freedom of expression is a 2 way street. Should you express yourself freely, you should feel free to be expressed upon.
He could do better, but I don’t believe he is willing to. The emperor wears no clothes.:lol:
Freedom Of Expression…a Wip.
This is just ridiculous. This guy is such a lamer and some of you are actually supporting his pathetic work. Stop encouraging this fake wannabee artist.
I suggest that the moderators on this forum limit posts to the picture row to one per day max by any individual because this guy is just terrible.
This guy is just not getting the message and I think he is either a senile old fool or his wife is egging him on for some mischievous mental reason of her own but whatever, it is a disgrace and bringing any reputation this forum had to its knees.
Ban this nut or at least restrict his ever repeating and pointless bad posts.
If he wants to save the world from the evil oil people then do it on a political liberal nutcase forum where he will be amongst his like minded obamabot fool friends but NOT HERE!!
Capiche !!!
Please do not reply with some lame regurgitation of your previously retarded replies - we are all sick of it !
Geeeeeezzz are you still posting the same old crap.
When are you going to get the f**king message man. You are an embarrassment to this forum and high time you got he ban number laid on you but the moderators on this forum are too liberal to do that. They will likely ban me but to be honest - to be in the same forum as a nut like you is just not on.
Get a life man - you are making a major fool out of yourself and being really disrespectful to the other “REAL” artists on this forum.
END OF STATEMENT!
This a woman telling you where to get off!
Zsoka: "I am an Art Educator in England. I have read the thread and am a little worried about the tone that it has taken.
Please recognize that all criticism can be done politely. "
I do not see to many grown adults on this forum, so no you are not a woman.
Why any “Real” artists would take the time out of their busy day to post so many angry replies like the posts on Spiritdreamer’s thread is beneath me.
Post your polite, professional, and encouraging critiques and suggestions and then move along. There is no need to act like a bunch of bullies.
I see that…The Puritans are still devolving into their true base nature of fear, hate, and ignorance, which clearly shows in their art, while at the same time the liberals are evolving to a higher state of consciousness, which shows in their art…There may still be some hope for this world after all…
CHEERS and POWER TO THE LIBERALS, or as John Lennon put it …IMAGINE 
Yes, wip, that is exactly what the main forum is for.
Now - please Spiritdreamer, please show a little common sense.
let’s take the last 2 version of ‘Inheritance’ for example. solely changing the color and contrast on a picture that would need a lot more work to justify the term ‘progress’ and posting it again on the next day is by no means a wip and quite frankly a bit of an insult to those who really put a lot of effort into their work.
or at least, if you absolutely need to show a couple of color shifts, then simply keep them for a couple of days and then put them all into one post. this way you are at least not hogging the bottom row and still get to show it all.
nobody wants to limit your freedom of expression or has anything against actual work in progress, if there is progress and if you have a little bit more to express than repeatedly demonstrating a vastly shared common opinion about oil disasters.
yes, we got it. spilling oil into oceans is very very bad for the environment and all of us. and yes the industry responsible for that disaster should also be held responsible for it.
now can you please move on and start to work on your work. I’m pretty sure many here will welcome that and will give constructive criticism again.
this is really nothing personal Spiritdreamer. I never met you and don’t have any right to judge you as a person, nor do I have any incentive of insulting you. Honestly, at the beginning of your thread I came here once in a while because I did actually enjoy what you did. it was never my personal taste, but I did appreciate that you were up to something unique in a way. pretty off in many ways but somewhat daring and I was curious how you would progress once you get more familiar with the new tools at your hand. I absolutely appreciate creativity and I don’t at all mind lack of technical professionalism as long as I see someone really makes an effort and does the best he can to evolve.
take an honest look back at the first pages of your thread. don’t you think they do show a lot more creativity than the most recent ones?
come on, get back again into that creative drive and put a little more work into it. is that realyl too much to ask?
have a nice sunday. I really mean it.
I love quotes! Here’s one that forms a perfect response to yours.
“But I’m tryin’, Ringo. I’m trying real hard…”
500 million trivia points to whom can name, and extrapolate (preceding and proceeding contexts) that quote 
SD, let’s do some work man! No more highlight filters, or levels, or lens flairs, let’s get some real work done! What do you say?
The quote is from the final scene of a little film called, PULP FICTION. It’s spoken by Samuel L. Jackson’s character, Jules, while he is pointing a gun in the face of a thug (Tim Roth) that unsuccessfully tried to rob him at gunpoint in a restaurant.
Jules: There’s a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you. I been sayin’ that **** for years. And if you heard it, that meant your ****. I never game much thought to what it meant. I just thought it was some cold-blooded **** to say to a **** before I popped a cap in his ****. But I saw some **** this mornin’ made me think twice. See, now I’m thinkin’: maybe it means you’re the evil man. And I’m the righteous man. And Mr. 9mm here, he’s the shepherd protecting my righteous **** in the valley of darkness. Or it could mean you’re the righteous man and I’m the shepherd and it’s the world that’s evil and selfish. And I’d like that. But that **** ain’t the truth. The truth is you’re the weak. And I’m the tyranny of evil men. But I’m tryin’, Ringo. I’m tryin’ real hard to be the shepherd.
Jules, who is a hardened killer, ends up sparing the thug’s life, because he is going through a transitional period in his life. Any other time, he would have shot the guy dead.
Do I get my 500 million trivia points?
Ringo and Lennon back together again after all these years, as if Yoko had never existed.
:lol:
Yes sir, the points are all yours… even though that has google written all over it, and even includes some transcription errors. 
Ha-ha! Yeah, I did have to get the dialogue off the internet. What can I say? I just didn’t have the scripture memorized as well as Sam Jackson did.
I watched the scene, and went back and fixed all the inaccuracies while still excluding the expletives. So, be cool, Ringo!
Get this guy out of here - he s an embarrassment and for the sake of the forum’s integrity he needs to be banned permanently.
The guy is a fool and fake and is just not getting the message.
Hi simplistic liberal brainwashed crap is not wanted here, if these people had any idea about the oil industry then they would start to make far more informed comments than just being an obama bot repeat wanker and blaming BP - that is rirdiculous. The government watchdogs failed miserably and obama’s response was worse than FIMA’s against Katrina. So get a grip and shut this nut down.

<HR style=“COLOR: #3f3f3f” SIZE=1><!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->Hey Spirit, Ive been following your thr4ead for some time now and have seen petty people come and go some slaining your work others loving it some saying ‘ok this guys different’ im gonna go a bit simon cowell on yah right now ok? i can see you are a very talented artist, while others wont like many others will. its funny because your work (as im sure sum1 once said, is what your username is very dreamlike, but most of all yah can tell a story, (especially like the oil buisness one among many others)
yeah yah need to brush up more on anatomy
yeah yah need to brush up on composition/lighting etc, but thats what this ****s all about, were all on a learning curve here, the points im making out here i also say for myself as im only learning too, its very early days for me in this field, i stepped outta iraq (whilst serving the british army after 6 years) and turned to my love of art.
you have held yah chin high and plodded along as many a punk that got nuffin better to do, wanna try and smack yah down, yah a good artist man keep at it, i do have dreams like these thats why your stuffs real man. you can paint them well

Hey buddy, you’ve certainly been courting controversy since I last stopped by! Well, what’s art without a little suffering… keep believing.
As far as a piece about big industries being evil is concerned, that’s neither naive nor foolish, it’s your opinion and one that many would agree with, given that many large companies are driven by the wants of their shareholders.
We have to look after our planet, it’s the only one we have - to me, your message reads that we’re failing to do that, and that THAT path leads to ruin.
A fine message worthy of art, more so than most others here, including my own 
<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->__________________
I like to see their concern with the colors, composition, and ideas, among many other things.
I also like the extensive use by you of the 2.5D
Continue with your work because you value the important things in art, something that few people do nowadays in the world of digital art.
It is no longer so nice to see models very well built but nothing else.
Bye
Spirit - I gotta say man I have lurked in the background for a long time watching you work your craft here and it seems like you never disappoint me. I love that you defy what most of the uppity people around here accept as “amazing” and instead focus on producing real art. In my opinion there is not enough of this in this place. Your surrealistic style and incredible imagination never leave anything to be desired. Keep doing your thing man - you will always have fans.

Not all perfectionists are an artist, thanks god, not all artists are perfectionist.
Thank you to the people who have helped and inspired me, and to hell with the rest of you…
CHEERS
The crucified earth piece is, I think a concept you should push to the next level.
You paint so well, now push your sculpture to that level. I hope you do. That’s all Ill say.
