When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
Artist's Comments
Just thought I'd show you how much of the photo shows through, and how much I paintover, in my paintovers. Hope someone finds it interesting/useful.
 When I makes stuff that looks alright I'm eager to tell/show others how I did it. I for one love seeing break downs and process of people's art. Hopefully I'm not the only one. And Remind me never to pursue a career as a magician, my tricks would never be a mystery. Haha. For a more lengthy tutorial on my paintover process view this one: [link] Should mention that after painting over the background I applied several filters too it. such as blurring it and some of the artist painting ones, and some color adjustment.

Paintover.. something like make-up for pictures. You're the first artist who showed that process to me °^°; Aww, thank you very much! What a great work! It IS like magic! xD
and: a wonderful idea! I'm feeling somehow lame now, 'cause I haven't known this technique before D:
(I always thought, working with a photo or some other picture a layer underneath would be some kind of "cheating" - but you show me that it's real art! And fantastic art! °O° Praise you!~)

So there's a certain level of negative connotation on the topic of paintovers, and tracing. So you don't see them as much. As a lot of people don't consider them to be real art.
But, I like to think that I'm making something better and original. And not just a poor quality rip off of someone else's work. And that it takes at least some skill to successfully mesh my own illustration into a photograph, without the illustration looking out of place and unnatural. XD

It's completely different from just tracing a picture! You make it better and more beautiful and you put some really hard work in it.
But you're right, most people think that you're just a thief when you say that you're drawing on a photo. D: Not fair!
But for me it is art. And I like it <3 Und ich will es auch können! xD
