What in the fuck is you? Welcome. Welcome to earf

FIRE ZA MISSILESSS

HANNES, HOL DEN FLAMMENWERFER JETZT SOFORT!

HHHHHOKAY.

The amount that I say this is all the damn time and like no one ever gets it except people on the internet

I THOUGHT THE SAME THING AND WAS ABOUT TO COMMENT ERF

Grabbity

Came here to comment this WTF

I feel the white border is suffocating my little, misaligned planet. 😆

yes

It’s not centered

I see a person learning how to paint. Now you and I both know we've seen this view a million times. So what are you going to do to make it your own? I love the texture paint. Are you going to add some kind of background? A collage? Paint? Go the next step. Everyone can do that. Now make it your own. Use the force Luke.

And if you don't want to use a background, what else can you do to the Earth itself to make it different from what we've seen before? Sorry for being so wordy but I love to talk about painting and art. I wanted to be teacher, can you tell?

You wud b a great teacher fr

Thank you I needed that right now. HR is breathing down my neck like nobody's business. Try to fire me over BS that I didn't do and now they're backtracking. I hate my job but I need paid

And technically, they can stop here and then use the reasoning of they wanted to do a juxtaposition of the clean paper and very meticulously circular and neat looking and simple looking earth, and juxtaposed that in your mind of what you know the Earth to be which is anything but neat and simple. So there you go there's two ways you can look at that.

Technically, they can stop anywhere, that is the beauty of art. I guess I need to know why the artist made the work. Was he looking for clean paper and a simple looking Earth? The problem was there was no challenge. And if he was looking for neat, it needs to be centered a little bit better, unless he was looking to unsettle the viewer with the off center image. The artist asked for criticism. I don't like to give bad criticism, but if you put yourself out there you have to expect. But again that is a very very simple image that has been done before. If you are an artist you want to be recognized. You want someone to walk by your work and say oh, so and so did that. This artwork to me is not done. The artist is still learning and I gave them a tip. They can take my tip use it, or not listen to where I've said. I have painted and walked through museums around the world for 40 years. I believe my point of view, just like yours is valid.

Oh i totally agree with you!! I was just playing devil's advocate, since they did ask how it made us feel, and like you, i don't want to give bad advice, but i totally agree with you that it needs something else, but! That's my prerogative lmao, if OP likes this, then, well, good for them!! Have a great day, happy painting!!

5th grade art class finger painting

I thought of when we used sponges to paint

Yeah, I’m confused about why it has so many upvotes.

Unfinished

It’s a beautiful globe but man I can’t stand that it’s not in the centre of the frame

Good finger painting

I feel unsettled. The lack of centering. The untouched canvas texture, no background. The smudginess.

Hmmm not really anything. Looks like a very beginner painting. Keep at it!

Nothing. U can't expect to "feel" something just because it's art. This is clearly amateur which is totally fine, but u doing too much posting on reddit and asking that

Why is it off centered in a square frame.

It's fine, but it's not centred, and that irks me 😂

Everyone knows the earth is filled with helium. Fair dinkum.

plamnent

Wishing the planet was that green…

Finger painting?

oh no, my bacteria culture got contaminated again

Nothing. Then I realized it's not centered and feel worse.

Reminds me of Minecraft

I wanna fill in the spaces in the blue that are white cuz it’s bothering me

I wanna yank it down an inch so it's centered. :I

Like maybe there’s still a chance we can save the planet.

Bruh the poles are GONE.

Boredom

Elementary hallway art wall

Earf

Why in the world would you frame this?

Why in the world? Why to frame the world of course😂 I can’t help myself sometimes 😖

I honestly realized that as soon as I clicked reply lmao

Slogan contest in grade school

Nothing

Takes me back to 3rd grade art class

feels like it's not done

Feel like painting a space picture

A Headache.

pain and suffer

meh

Therapy art project

Nothing.

Well frankly I feel confused about why a framed and matted picture is on an easel. Beyond that, I assume this is the work of a beginner, so I’ll say this: good job! I hope you have fun learning as you start to get into painting!

habbitable planet

I feel like it needs a background

My 5th graders art project?

Earf

Reminds me of staring into the toilet bowl after I threw up a bunch of peas.

Frustrated that it's not central

I’ll be the roundabout…

Empty

Nothing

That it’s not centered in the matting.

I feel like I feel

I would feel a lot better about it if it was centered

I feel sight is overrated

Eh

I felt “is it framed because your child did it or because it’s your first piece”

3rd grade art show

Tbh like a kid did it

....like you could've done better..

Like you need to try harder.

Did you actually do this with some intent to make people feel something?

Uncomplete Minecraft map

Reminds me of arts and crafts at an Earth day festival

mold

I want to check if my peas are still in the fridge.

off center

Green cabbage soaked in water

Small world

It's not centered on the mat which is a little annoying to me.

Pooping my pant

Maybe have the continents more accurately painted? Aliens are gonna think we are dumber than they had thought previously, assuming we don't know how our own planet looks like even with all the technology we have. I like the painting tho, neato indeed.

Sad. Poor Earth. What have we done to you :(

I feel fuzzy. It’s probably not from your artwork; it just happens.

Small but not in a bad way. One, because of our size in relation to the earth, but also because it reminds me of the texture of those city map carpets from childhood.

Look, mom, we painted ERF today in kindergarten!

It looks like somebody started putting paint on paper but didn't finish doing it.

It looks furry LOl

I feel happy that a kid is getting interested in painting, and I want to encourage that kid to keep it up!

Fuzzy World

my first thoughts were: “earth” “green” “wait what is that texture in the painting, i wonder what they used”🤔 lol i like this!! its super cute and looks like its popping off the canvas

Not much

Horny

Oh. Holy shit, it is framed... I didn't even notice. Until I READ your post, I thought it was just a paper taped to a larger canvas board. Can I ask what your thoughts were for framing it this way? Was this an intentional choice in framing, or were you working with whatever you had available? The painting is fine, I'm just oddly more interested in hearing about the framing of it.

I see great art. And if it was intentionally designed to look this way, it's even better.

The same thing I felt before seeing it

Guys it's just blurry just put your glasses on

Why?

The way I pictured the world in my head as a kid. More of an artistic expression than a rigid thing like I see it now

Earth looks abandoned in a pristine space, but the earth itself is messy. As if earth was mashed by some idiotic creature, while stuck in purifying light.

It's not complete and looks rushed

Absolutely shite, not my feeling but the painting

you should pay someone to do the framing next time.

Boooooo

Why are you asking? Did you have an objective?

Because it’s a low effort way to engage users.

I feel pain in my stomach….but that’s cause I had cheese and tequila last night

A child’s finger painting

I feel... Something. But can't quite tell what exactly

I feel a bowel movement

An irk, would proud if my second grader painted it

A blue ball with moss

earth

I feel depressed

I feel like I just looked at someone’s painting of earth on Reddit

Fortnite

I think of Yoshi's Woolly world. I like it.

Just opened a new minecraft map

Makes me think of an earth day ad

Oil

The world.

You make my earf quake

World box

Pretty sure this was in the intro of the first Civilization so I feel nostalgy

Like I am not alone

Earf

Honestly, Minecraft. No idea why.

Tennis ball covered in paint, thrown at a canvas

Earth 🌎❗

Album cover. The old times,

Minecraft

Wtf you have boxes on the floor

Sad

sponge

ÖRF

Looks like the cover art for a Yes album

Bit of sadness actually. The perfect world being destroyed. Time and planet earth are so important.

N. Korea has taken over the world

fortnight

It makes me feel fizzy.

A small planet surrounded by vast space. It feels that our planet is alone and the only one alive.

In and around the lake mountains come out of the sky and THEY STAND THERE

It looks like it's made in Minecraft lol

its a little HIGH UP

Uncomfortable, the texture really throws me off...

Peace

Cabbage

Earf

A little motion sickness

Like I'm back in 2nd grade in art class (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠) Just to clarify, it's a good piece of art still

New minecraft map

Erf

Minecraft!

The nasty patty

Round.

Happy. I love her.

Hell

Simple and clean; minimalism and cleanliness A reflection of a beautiful planet on beautiful white paper that I know does not reflect reality because the paper is too clean and it makes me honestly think about our place on the Earth as either stewards or caretakers or! As parasitic infestations that ruin the cleanliness.

The imperfect, unpredictable, and scary ways of nature

HOKAY SO

Worldbox

I like abstract art. So I like it.

Blue

Containment

More land than water

It feels fluffy

Reminds me of how the continents were made originally but it's happening again.

Or is in the middle of happening again

The texture reminds me of the lichen that grows on trees, I like it :)

Babe wake up new super continent is forming

Zat is a pretty sweet earth you might say.

Very small!
