I don't art often and am not a great artist

the whole point of map recolors is to demonstrate artistic ability

um no, this is not true at all

well, if you recolor a map without changing the overall structure of the map, it kinda does serve to show artistic ability does it not?

[Intel Guard]

no

[Poop]

no

then what is it to demonstrate?

[skeleton dude]

different colors choices usually

[notarctic]

no

typically if someone recolors a map (especially if its for a contest), its pretty obvious that they aren't saying "hey i made a good wallmask" and if the wallmask is out of the question, by process of elimination whats left? the art. and if a map recolor isn't to show artistic ability, then what is it for?

[Intel Guard]

you dont understand what a recolor is

recolors are literal recolors (jarvest)

reskins are reskins (steampunkfort)

recolors dont demonstrate artistic abilities, reskins do.

fucking think for a second. you dont even know what youre arguing.

um ok sir, this is still a map *reskin* it still does not change the message im trying to convey

[Intel Guard]

.....this was originally a recolor, thats why he mentioned hes not a great artist

then you went and started confusing recolors for reskins

thats all there is to it. the end. log off.

[Saniblues]

Stop.

[notarctic]

lemme say one more thing, no it wasn't a recolor.

[Chorus]

  If it helps, I see a recolor as painting in whatever, with a reskin painting in with effort, or the artist's skill.  A child recolors a blank mermaid, a monster mermaid version is reskinned by artist's skill.

[Poop]

recolor, reskin. they both still counts as demonstrating artistic ability, difference being the abilities shown could be good or bad.

[Intel Guard]

um no, swapping color doesnt show any artistic ability, its just aesthetics.

aesthetics is a type of art. Purple with black represents night time whiles orange and red shows sunrise, just changing some colors can have an impact on the mood and overall image. Some people can do a shitty job at it, but it's still showing their ability.
