Some shit, I should just plain not have to wake up to first thing in the morning. Like this:



Go on, click the picture to see all the horror.

Now, don't get me wrong- I hit psdtuts almost daily to see the latest stuff. And ususally, they run some great, useful tutorials. This is definitely not one of those.

What pisses me off about it? Well, for one, it's shit-poor composition as far as aesthetic goes- there is zero relevance for anything going on there- stuff is stuck in simply beacuse it's steampunk. Hate that when it happens in jewelry, crafts, and costume design, and I hate the stick-a-cog-on-it-and-call-it-steampunk attitude just as much here. And some of it's got no sense whatsoever- a modern lightbulb and wattage meter?

Fucking research your damn genre before you design for it. Also research your stocks better if you truly must photomanip- importing a mustache just looks downright terrible on close inspection. I fail to believe that there was no such thing as a decent stock image that already had a mustache, if one was so necessary.

All that is not what truly pisses me off, however- it's more the fact that all of this put together, even though it's going to teach some people some good basic photoshop skills, is also going to tell people that something this poor is perfectly fine. GAH!

This is Koji Suzuki. One of the few Japanese authors whose translated works I've really enjoyed (Ring, Spiral, and Loop.)


That's his latest novella he's posing with, and it is indeed printed on toilet paper. I think my favorite part of this is the title- Drop.
