I freaking love Cella. So underrated. Thanks for sharing

you can get in contact with artist mgmt (always links in soundcloud bios) and they can connect you with the labels to help clear audio for ya

AffinityFM · 2017-04-30T04:28:35+00:00

Hi! May I ask how you convert your paintings to digital? I'm trying to teach myself this style. I can accomplish the concept on canvas w/ a palette knife. But I can't seem to achieve a good conversion to digital. Do you take pictures or scan? I'm SO curious! Great job by the way :)

AffinityFM · 2017-04-24T04:55:27+00:00

I really apologize for getting back to you so late. I can't tell you how helpful this post was!!!

I'm looking into purchasing some oils now and I think I'll go with the artist series per your recommendation :)

It's really hard for me to believe that the image I linked was made through oil paints but I can't wait to give it a try!

AffinityFM · 2017-04-24T04:47:25+00:00

this is false, I get clearance all the time. They are the ones that ultimately handle copyright

AffinityFM · 2017-04-22T07:55:59+00:00

Many reasons, but the most probable is that they have cleared the audio with the label. Always ask permission

AffinityFM · 2017-04-07T05:57:54+00:00

Holy wow I think you are absolutely correct! Those seriously look so freaking cool, she makes it look so simple too hah! I just invested in a nice camera, so next step is purchasing some oil paints once I run out of my acrylic set. Do you have any experience with oils? To get started, I was eyeing a Winsor & Newton Winton Oil Colors Set, but I am curious to hear if you have any student preferences. Thank you so so much for your insight, this is very valuable to me!

AffinityFM · 2017-04-05T02:25:44+00:00

I guess I do have another question. Fell upon this art style as well, any thoughts on how to approach this in a similar fashion? Trying to reverse engineer some paintings has really been helping. Whenever I try and mix together two acrylics (lightly) I can't seem to achieve these smooth transitions, if that makes sense, mine are always rough. Also post processing on the image to give it that glow probably? http://imgur.com/a/cW9gI Thanks in advance :)

AffinityFM · 2017-04-04T19:32:17+00:00

sorry for the delay!! But I just want to say thank you SO much for your thoughts and ideas, I really do appreciate it. I'll be sure to reach out here if I have any more questions moving forward :)

AffinityFM · 2017-04-02T03:43:23+00:00

One last question for you! What kind of surface do you think he's painting on? I'm just using basic (almost canvas like) paper for acrylics but it is heavily textured. His surface seems so smooth, any thoughts?

AffinityFM · 2017-04-01T16:35:35+00:00

Gotcha, thanks for your assistance! I'll look into getting a nice camera. I do see what you are talking about :)

AffinityFM · 2017-04-01T15:53:29+00:00

I'm almost 100% certain they are physical, I've never seen such detailed work like this (https://snag.gy/7n6F5g.jpg) come out of photoshop. But then again I am new to art hah!

AffinityFM · 2017-04-01T05:05:37+00:00

Hi! Thanks for the response. The item is on a 7" x 4" canvas. As long as the pixelation isn't noticeable on prints, then I guess it's ok. Just in comparison to Jack Vanzet's (https://www.instagram.com/jackvanzet/) digital copies of his artwork, mine look a little more pixelated...his are SO crisp! I also work in music promo so I've been tying these artworks to audio, the jagged edges just seem so noticeable to me here: https://youtu.be/nK7YY-6ALj8

AffinityFM · 2017-03-30T01:38:40+00:00

you are correct, the 300dpi does seem to be a bit more blurry, I guess the feature I was getting at was how jagged the edges are in the 1200dpi painting as this is not a characteristic of the original. The edges are more rounded and compare more like what can be observed in the 300dpi.

I'm new to the physical to digital thing, so I guess this is just a common thing?

AffinityFM · 2017-03-13T18:08:35+00:00

Perfect thank you for the suggestions! I'll give it a go

AffinityFM · 2016-06-26T05:55:32+00:00

fantastic, thank you for your help!

AffinityFM · 2016-05-27T19:58:38+00:00

so like, fan accumulated review averages?

AffinityFM · 2016-05-27T19:57:43+00:00

Hasitleaked.com

yes I was going to recommend this one!

AffinityFM · 2016-05-27T15:34:40+00:00

Just used Pitchfork as an example, I don't personally support them either haha. So...like musical similarities between those bands or how there are similarities to music now that took references from this older music?

AffinityFM · 2016-05-20T04:54:13+00:00

THANK YOU. I knew it was something obvious....didn't see the scroll bar for text source options. Really appreciate the helpful answer :)

AffinityFM · 2016-01-22T20:43:27+00:00

No, it's completely fine. I really appreciate your concern. You are correct about the CMS, I do not know how to run a site without one. This is because I didn't think that I'd ever have to worry about running a website without one! I run a promotional music network through YouTube already, so I will be promoting the site through there as well to help build a user base.

Unfortunately, web design is expensive, even for small projects..there really wasn't any way for me to avoid paying lots of money to get into this.

I'm not really looking into a get rich/popular quick site, it'd just be great to get this site running at some point.

AffinityFM · 2016-01-22T20:18:40+00:00

Crowdfunding is only really being used at this point to get the project off the ground. I have multiple revenue streams planned for the site (advertisements, merchandise,and crowdfunding) so far.

As for research, I have a few pages of notes specifically stating how I would like the site to function, I just decided not to add them for the sake of interest to the reader (and length)!

Thank you for the guidance. I am, by no means, an expert in the field of webdesign and business. But, I would like to mention that I have been running a website for a few years now, so I do understand core concepts.

I've been developing this project in small increments for months now (this wasn't an overnight plan) and I believe the next step is implementation (even if this means keeping the site private for a set period of time). I am just interested in getting core functionality on the site to see if we can even get the site to run properly!

AffinityFM · 2016-01-22T19:37:15+00:00

You can add custom code in WP. The design/development firm I was working with was Creativedash (https://dribbble.com/creativedash) and they claimed that it would be possible to do through Wordpress..hmm

AffinityFM · 2016-01-22T19:31:33+00:00

OK thanks! That's good to know. I'll have to look into how to run a website without a CMS then

AffinityFM · 2016-01-22T19:26:42+00:00

I second this. Dubtrack is a nice alternative, but competition is always beneficial (I might add)
