Title: Inverted Elements Art
Post by: the dictator on October 03, 2010, 07:53:32 pm
I was a bit bored today, so I have been messing around with gimp, and after SG posted this (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,13479.0.html) competition, I tried to create a nice art.

My original idea was to create a yin and yang sign, but sadly the dark half of it didn't look too well, with the dark background of the forums, so I had to do something else.

I got the idea to invert all elemental signs, to see which other signs had opposite colors.

The result looked really well, and I didn't want to keep it for myself, so here are the inverted elemental icons.

My favourites are the  :death, :entropy, :gravity and :water signs.
Which do you like the most?

He says he was inverting them and thought they looked good (which I agree some of them do) so he thought he'd show us what they looked like and see which ones we preferred.

Well, of course you can, I'm thinking of getting one as my own avatar too, but I don't know if that is allowed. I have read somewhere only master are allowed to have elemental signs as their avatar.
But, those are inverted signs, so I think SG won't mind that much.

Where did you read that I've not heard that before, also lots of people have element symbols in there avatar and they've not been told to change, I don't know if you're just on about the full element symbol though with nothing extra.

Inverted Light looks the best IMO. Ironically, inverted Darkness looks like crap (or rotten milk) to me. So much for my favorite element...

Anyone can invert a picture within 5 seconds, so you don't have to give him credit.

I'm thinking of getting one as my own avatar too, but I don't know if that is allowed. I have read somewhere only master are allowed to have elemental signs as their avatar.

Where did you hear that? That's completely idiotic and makes no sense at all.

Aether and Light are my favorites. Darkness is intriguing, and Life just looks more... 'fierce' when inverted. :P


I can't believe Time looks so bland while being a deep shade of blue. :(

But, as that is about marks, SG, could you please tell us if we are allowed to use inverted signs as avatar?

Many of the regular Forum Avatars look good, too, when they are inverted e.g. Butterfly Effect.
Indeed :P

Liquid shadow is another one of my favorites:

The quantum icon ban was an unwritten rule we had a while back. There was some confusion because some Masters used those icons, and non-Masters used them as well, so I made a rule to let only Masters use those icons.

Today things are a bit different so I don't see a big problem with. However I would advice everyone to try to come up with unique avatars because having multiple members with the same :darkness icon as an avatar just confuses people.

Nothing wrong with having inverted icons so go for it.

Gravity is the best. Aether and air are pretty sweet, too.

Can I use the Gravity as my avatar if I give credit?
Well, of course you can, I'm thinking of getting one as my own avatar too, but I don't know if that is allowed. I have read somewhere only master are allowed to have elemental signs as their avatar.
But, those are inverted signs, so I think SG won't mind that much.
Where did you read that I've not heard that before, also lots of people have element symbols in there avatar and they've not been told to change, I don't know if you're just on about the full element symbol though with nothing extra.
Yeh but that's before he posted the link of you specifically saying that you made a rule against having quantum icons as your avatar if you're not a master.

My guess is that miniwally ninja-quoted that post before I deleted it, and thought that his own previous comment was mine, leading him to reply to himself. :)

I dont mean to sound rude or anything (far from it, I think all of your work is amazing and appreciate that you let this game use it), but Im just wondering why? what if credit was given that the original picture was yours or zanzs?

Also, I didnt realize that that was the skeleton of a hand under pluage until I saw the inverted one   :))
Title: Re: Inverted Elements Art
Post by: jmizzle7 on October 06, 2010, 02:55:41 am
I'm sure vrt will elaborate on this, but basically, every single image on an Elements card belongs to somebody. None of those images can be used, edited, or distributed without that artist's consent. True, there are circumstances that legally allow for public use without consent, but considering vrt is a very active member of our community, it isn't hard to ask first. Vrt has given Zanz license to use his work, but that doesn't mean that we as a community are free to take those images and run with them.
Title: Re: Inverted Elements Art
Post by: Korugar on October 06, 2010, 03:12:30 am
Then I suppose I should ask, who made the artwork for "Immortal", and if you're reading this thread, do you mind my using it in this form, for my profile pic?
Title: Re: Inverted Elements Art
Post by: Scaredgirl on October 06, 2010, 03:49:44 am
The key word here is copyright. Images taken from Elements are copyrighted, meaning that in theory, we cannot use any of them for anything without a written permission from the copyright owner.

However, in reality we can use most of them because Zanz doesn't have a problem with Elements players fooling around with the images here when nobody is stealing anything. There is a big difference between elements fans posting edited elements art on elements forums, and a person taking elements art and selling it on his website for $1 each.

vrt has made many of the new art found in Elements. While I personally don't understand what the big deal is, if vrt wants his images to stay unedited, the community should respect that and limit this project to older images only.

Sorry, I meant of the ones that were posted already.  As for other art:
The spore stuff was made for fun and maybe recognition.  Given that zanz got permission to modify and use it for elements, chances are low of there being any problems.  Even at that, it would be best to obtain permission, give credit, and keep it to elements related things.
Zanz could have a problem with this.  Very, very, unlikely.  Just don't use it commercially.
vrt is a professional artist.  He probably wants to keep a high level of control over his work, this is his right.  He also could be doing this for less altruistic reasons.  The login screen does link to his portfolio after all.
pepokish may or may not mind.  Ask.

I know that both pepokish and vrt do mind if people use their work without permission. It's their work, so they have every right to decide how it can be used. For anything else, it is technically fair use unless the specific artist says otherwise.

Time for Professor Mummy's lecture of the day:

1.) Plasma is superheated gas.  i.e. very hot

2.) The color spectrum is ROYGBIV; the same as you see in a rainbow.  Red is the coolest light color and violet is the warmest light color.

Since we know that plasma is ultra hot, from the color spectra it infers that plasma should emit violet light.

Personally, I thought the inverting was rather interesting and creative. (I really liked the :aether , :entropy and :light )   :P

I know this is somewhere between very unlikely to never happening, but it would be cool to see your mark in game get "distorted" based on the deck make up you are currntly playing.

For example, if you were using a Life mark, but had entropy in your deck, your mark would look like the inverted Life mark at the beginning of this thread. The more different elements you have in your deck, the more distorted the mark would become.

Like I said, doubtful, but fun to speculate on ;)

Sounds fair to me, not rude at all. I would agree that the original art is without a doubt better, but sometimes the inverted art is a nice change of pace in my opinion.

Loading an existing image, pressing only a single button and then save and upload it has nothing to do with "creating" art.
I can save an image from the Mona Lisa upside down too, that doesn´t mean i am an artist.
 This is just rude considering vrt explicitly said he doesn´t want his work to be changed "like that" and you clearly disrespect that.

Do you reply to the shopowner you just stole from with "there was no do not steal sign on it" when he asks you to stop doing that?
YOU are the one supposed to ask the artist, not the other way around.
This gives only one problem, I know who the shop owner is, so I can ask first, but elements has a lot of different artist, which makes it a lot harder.

O the other element are added now.

the only thing that baffles me is that people are actually overexcited about this so call 'new art' when in fact it is as simple as inverting the picture
seriously guys? you've never actually go to MSPAINT -> Image ->Ctrl+I?

i'm not gonna touch about the whole copyright thingy (even if i think the whole thing is silly, kinda like the issue of purchasing songs but you're not allowed to profit from by via reselling etc even though there is NOTHING to be gained from the simple act of inverting an existing art other than gaining the admiration from a totally clueless flock of idiots)

p/s: tell you what, invert my avatar pic. go ahead. you know you want to

Lol I dont see why everyone seems to think he is claiming this is some great form of art. He said right away that he was playing around with it and just thought it looked cool. Its not difficult to do, but it does take some time to save every picture, invert it, and upload it so all the people who commented they liked it can see the art for all the different cards wthout having to do it themselves. All he did is make a thread because he thought it looked cool, and some people agreed so he kept doing it. He's not hurting anyone by posting these, and he has removed all art that he was told to.

i dont have any issue with op himself (well, at least until he posted "I already created a lot of inverted cards"...)
just the reaction from the crowds...
Title: Re: Inverted Elements Art
Post by: Nume on October 08, 2010, 10:15:27 pm
Lol he just meant that he created them as in he inverted them and saved them... I really dont see what all the fuss is about :P. As for the reaction, its funny to me that you dont see why people think it looks cool when you yourself have an inverted picture as your avatar :P. He never claimed it was something hard to do, just that he thought it looked cool, and a lot of people agree.

Some of these inverted images are pretty cool.  However if everyone uses inverted avatars, they will no longer be special.  I think I like the inverted shochwave the best.

My avatar is so awesome it doesn't need inverted.  Mad scientist mummy ftw!!!  (vrt would murder me if I even thought about inverting it anyways :) )

Anyone with a speck of graphic editing skill would not be impressed by the inversion of an image.

My avatar looks... strange... when inverted. It is copyrighted on deviantART, but I don't give a sh!t if you want to invert it; it's not like I can stop you if you want to.

Just looked, and actually, no it's not, the copyrighting isn't formatted properly.

also, just putting the copyright symbol doesn't make it copyright. You need to fill out a whole form, submit it with your original work, then wait for it to be returned.

Bloodshadow has copyright over his art. He doesn't have to do anything to get that copyright, it's automatic.

If I drew a stick figure right now, the instant it's ready, I would have full copyright over it without even mentioning the word. And if you take that stick figure and go sell it for a million bucks, I could sue you and win with a 100% certainty.

This "copyrighted on deviantART" doesn't really have anything to do with actual copyright. It's just a way to prove you have the copyright in case there is a dispute over who owns the copyright for that particular piece of art.

Post by: pepokish on October 09, 2010, 04:11:55 pm
Yep, SG is entirely right. 

The creator does not need to register or go through any formal steps to achieve copywritten status -- copyright is automatic from the moment of creation.  Copyright registration only serves as extra protection in case of infringement (solid proof of copyright ownership).  (Reference (http://www.thecopyrightsite.org/faq.html#register), so you know I'm not just pulling this out of the air) 

In fact, only works specifically noted as public domain are free use; the rest can be safely assumed to be copywritten by the author.  Fortunately, the vast majority of people don't patrol the internet looking for misused artwork to sue over -- but it's still technically copyrighted.

I think the marks look like their counter-parts e.g. fire looks like water, air looks like earth, dark looks like light. Pretty cool when you think about it.

Alternatively, you could right click on the pick and click copy, then open up paint and save it to your computer. Then, go to imageshack or any online image hosting site, and upload it there. It will give you a link you can put in that field in the options.
