pic related was my search on duckduckgo for "vapowave gradient pixel art" (NOTE NOT EVEN THE CORRECT SPELLING)

and there you have it. a watermarked "Oh you need this gradient thingy I made in about ten seconds and slapped a big VectorStock® on it and called it a day waiting for the eventual "busy but clearly too busy to ever dejpegnoise your malarky lengths of what exactly?

You see this shit? Its a jpeg of something that could be more easily generated with slight to little (which is already eons above the average graphic designer) effort in MSpaint. (not dogging paint btw, that was an actual good for humanity win by microsoft with that genius softwae)

no im talking about the endless brainless revolting race to exploit peoples laziness on google images. What? So I need to pay to use your fucking checkers? Give me a fucking break with your art degree on your wall bitch.

now in the next post, you will see, after many sharpen layers and some color curve adjustments, just what im talking about, this shit is so psychologically primal subversion tactics it makes the amount of jpeg noise hurt my SOVL OI VEY

Hilarity ensues.

just make it yourself man
what are you even bitching about?

Let me be clear, I'm not here to ruin anyones day.I'll just be seen as crazy but this is a real issue that needs addressing.

It's laziness by graphic design sellouts, i don't know certain "industries" get under my skin.

Pic related is my MSpaint ""art"" btw.

you sound pretty weird and unhinged, but you have a point. it's no real surprise that google (one of the biggest corporations in the world) is incredibly greedy (like all other corporations)

at least 50% of the results on google images should be things that could be sold (products or services), because they're the ones paying for ads

in any case, keep voting republican, they're for sure going to fix this with more corporate tax cuts :^)

I legitimately don't even understand what you're bitching about
people selling their work? like no shit there's no raw files uploaded in image search, why the fuck would there be?
go to a resource site and get one for free and quit bitching into the void

>>459080
Unrelated, but your MSpaint art is beautiful. Keep up the good work. <3

Cool af

MS Paint thread? Hell yeah.
Here's my favorite dithering gradient with a x4 magnification. I'd searched for ages to find an anti flicker dithering pattern for CRT's, and eventually made my own.

that is so fucking cool

Its a bayer gradient, here's one I generated that you can reuse:
