So in your opinion re-making something in a different medium makes you an ass.

This.

This.

Well, re-making doesn't prove that you can make original stuff.

[Surfa]

Who would I need to prove that to?

Edit: Also go to any art teacher or anyone with any amount of common sense and ask them if they believe that trying to recreate the masters work is a good way to learn. Recreating this piece will help me learn and it is not like I enter this comp to try and win, I am entering because it seems like a bit of fun and I have always wanted to try and make melting clocks in 3d.

Well, re-making doesn't prove that you can make original stuff.

Pretty much anything you make in games (maps, models, textures) is influenced by some reference, form of media, environment etc, so by that logic, pretty much everything we create is unoriginal, unless you have some insane imagination to not use something as inspiration.

[Mr-Jigsaw]

Inspiration and re-creation are two very different things.

[Major Banter]

Depends on whether or not you want to be post-modernist.

Frankly, I think you could make more effort than a duplicate.

[MáØ]

K, I'll kill myself making this (if I find the time to work on it that is >.>) but...

[Armageddon]

Well, uhh, you have fun with that!

[ThePain]

There's nothing wrong with recreating a painting as a map. It's been done many times before as both practice and map entries (Escher comes to mind foremost). It's when you recreate a painting and claim you're being original it becomes a problem.

I love it how your eyes identify the random shapes in the gears as buildings...

[Phott]

I think it's supposed to be buildings, look at the bridges, why would they even be there?

[Armageddon]

They must re-build those bridges often if those gears turn all the time.

[Plague]

They must re-build those bridges often if those gears turn all the time.

Over-time all bridges must be rebuilt.
