Deviant Art Insanity
Two images were featured on DeviantArt today, and they're both rather insane. (More were featured, but these are the two that were insane.) The first is an example that you can make beautiful art in ANY medium, no matter how restricted. "powerdraw" is a work of dedication and no small personal stash of madness: A detailed painting of Venice (I assume) in none other than our friendly neighborhood Microsoft Paint!
For the second, titled "Grand Canyon Panorama", you'll have to make sure to look at the very impressive full view. It was made using a relatively new 3-d modelling program for landscapes, called Terragen. I've used this a little bit, and it's pretty hard to get AMAZING results. Good-looking things are easy, but things that blow your mind are much more difficult.
