Not really "art," more like graphic design just as 3D modeling is more like drafting unless it is carried a step further like Gray Eagle and others.
I suppose a skilled plumber pulling a turd out of a clogged toilet can have some "artistic" quality... but art?

And what's the purpose of this crap anyway? When this started it seemed to be some sort of... "let me show you how it's done" attack on Superfly and Natedog. Since that has failed, why bother continuing? Better yet, why not devote all the time you're currently wasting on this bbs to developing a blade theory game engine and really show the laggards at HTC.
