^ I don't exactly define "art" as using a bunch of filters to achieve something that is intentionally supposed to look like something else, but that's just me.

If you're not aware of it, vectors and vexels that go through hours and days and weeks of work are STILL debated in the art community - are they really art? Some people debate that vexels and vectors (especially ones centred around realism) aren't art because they aren't original; they simply follow posterization lines and it's like an exact copy of an image. Vexel and vector advocates, obviously, disagree. However I do believe that the others present a good point - when you create something that looks exactly like the original image, without any thought or concept or theme or colour or any of the art elements, then how, may I ask, is that art?

I guess my point is, that, if vexel/vectorers that spend hours on careful planning and expression of colours, placement, emotion, etc., in their art have it debated anyway, then what strength and validity does your argument present? You, after all, used a few filters and called it "art".

Of course, please don't take any offense with this. I'm just trying to give another perspective.
