Holy shit, can I pay you to deface a painting for me?

This happens to me every goddamn time I move a few hundred meters in Skyrim. Damned dragons killing my NPC buddies and such.

Plot twist, that painting was worth millions of dollars and was some obscure painting. Good job!

I dunno, I always feel bad for the original painter when people do this (unless it's just a copy of the painting).
iggydota
It's nearly always a copy--you can find originals at thrift stores, but if you know a little about art you can usually tell.
HomoWriter
Reddit OP said it was a copy, so no harm done :)
BenedoodleCumberpoodle
My friend bought a painting at thrift store once and it turned out to being a rare original that was worth over $100,000. He donated it 1/2
BenedoodleCumberpoodle
to a local art museum because he felt that's where it belongs. He is an artist too, so he felt that everyone deserved to see it's beauty 2/2
NewKing
I would've sold that at an auction so quickly
skellious
One of the few times I've not felt offended by people painting over paintings. you kept the original style and your addition fits the piece.
DiceyBusiness
OP's brush-strokes are broader and cruder, art mash-ups are fine when consented to, not so much when painting over someone's hard work.
skellious
Okay, it's not EXACTLY the same, but it fits the theme. It's not like giant war of the worlds robots.

Where can I buy your work? Genius.

While i love the new painting i'm always curious if there is an artist out there a little hurt that something he worked hard on was changed.
eruval82
Even if it's real paint they are usually assembly line painted
JaelTentpeg
I'm waiting for someone to post a "new" painting, only to find out through the imgur geniuses that the original was priceless.
crochetingmeteorologist
And that is why you Google the shit out of it first, maybe? If I had any talent at that, I'd definitely research and make sure first.

Don't worry, Mildred P. Jackson of Scranton, PA could hardly remember that night that she went with friends to a wine and canvas party.

If it was an original I think its really rude. If its a print then have fun, just don't take credit for the original artist's work.
jediprincess
it was probably painted for a bowl of rice in china...so they probably didn't see this
caralita
A lot of these are reproduction prints anyway :)

Well, you see Beijing is notorious for amount of smog. Smaug is the dragon from the hobbit. I combined the two.

Pronounced 'Sm-ow-g' you filthy dwarven scum.
IDontKnowHowToHuman
Unless you're Peter Jackson, in which case it's pronounced "Shh-m-ow-g"
yougotyourchocolateinmypeanutbutter
Yeah, it took me a while to get it because of that pronounciation.
redviolin
Yeah I'll admit when I first started reading LotR I thought it was 'S-oar-on'. But according to Tolkien's own pronunciation guides (1/2)
redviolin
(2/2) the 'au' combination is pronounced 'ow' as in 'how'. Hence 'Sm-ow-g' and 'S-ow-ron'.
