"all you had to do is move your wrist a little" >:x Oh man, quite a lot of the time, I take more time hexing than drawing. I don't see how Pokemon spriting doesn't count as art? I'd say it was! Colouring books though.. well yeah I suppose they are, but I figure whoever's using them can't claim the picture to be entirely theirs because they didn't outline it. But I did do a colouring-in page of an indigo T-rex at a museum in Newcastle, in crayons, and I'm friggin proud of it ahaha. It's on my wall, yo. c:

Pokemon Spriting is art. o3o It doesn't have to be breathtaking to be art. A lot of things go into pokemon spriting-including more then just recoloring, you sometimes draw some attachments by scratch, or find a perfect way to morph some pokemon, or you might even create new markings on it, along with the general design of the new sprite.
In a way though, it's not exactly art if you just recolor it and do a very common splice. xD

I think things like Pokemon spriting is art. I do it myself, but I don't just 'recolour' stuff, I either draw new ones from scratch or get an existing image that isn't a sprite and make it into one. But I do think hexing is art. I don't think you could pass it off as anyone as 'look at this art I did' to people who don't play because they won't get it. I mean, something like this (gen 5 pkmn spoiler) I did by going over the outlines of an image and then making it a sprite.. i made this from scratch and things like this which kinda falls into another catagory - but it still took me ages! When you try and call something 'art' you can't really say it's based on the effort. I could put tonnes of effort into trying to move a ball in LNZ because I couldn't to start off with, and just moving the ball wouldn't be art even if it took me 45 minutes. It all depends on the creators wishes, I guess, though it's not really fair to say how somebody's hexies are art, and others' aren't.

You sound like my old art teacher who gave this answer every time we asked why certain modern art is considered art at all. If we knew we wouldn't be asking. XD I think art is anything that involves a creative process in the artist's head. So yes hexing, pixel art etc are all types of art. It might not be "high art" which would hang in a gallery but it's still art. The stuff I have trouble with is concept art; like Tracin Emin's work; where it's more about the idea than the time and effort put into creating it but again if we go by the creative process definition we have to say that must be art too. I don't have to like it but then I don't like Hip Hop either but that's still music.

Actually I consider a lot of things art... hexies are most definitely art, as well as hairstyles, sandcastles, poetry, photos & even pastries . Oh and don't forget horseback riding ♥

If taking a picture of your crotch and posting it on DA is art... then hexing is right up there with the Mona Lisa. XD
Seriously though, the word "art" is attached to so much now a days. What is art exactly? I don't really know. I think if it's something created to be pleasing to the eye/ear it's art (this includes preforming art!). Well designed dishwasher? Totally art to someone.
Back on to hexes.. I can totally see people's artistic talents shine though their hexes! I think this is why mine lack something (imo). I don't have the "artistic eye".
SO YEAH.. all that jibber-jabber was me saying that I agree: Hexing=Art.

Art is something that has been planned out and created at the hands(Mouse in hand of xD) of a person. Anything can be art as long as it has been through that process, if you grab a camera and just take a picture without even looking then this is not art. if you take a photo on yourself its not art its a portrait. Hexing is considered an art as you have to create the piece, plan it create it etc (something without the creative process is not art). Its like programing, that too is an art, not everyone can do it like not everyone can take an amazing photo, not everyone can paint an amazing picture In theory carpenters are artists too, though we take it for granted, every piece of furniture is art (well maybe not ikea flat packs xD) but you know what i mean.
PKMN Spiriters yes, these too are a form of art though id say more so spiriters who make pokemon using bits and pieces of pokemon rather than just re-colours...
If you talking traditional art then maybe its not considered are because the media you use is not something you can touch and mold like a pen and pencil on paper or paint on canvas. But as times have changed so have the creative tools we use so yes hexing is a form of art in todays standards.
