funny how with the digital arts especially there's so many folks out there like, "there's a 'right' way to do this, any other way is wrong"
and it's almost always the same half dozen opinions being repeated ad-infinitum
the rules have their place, learning your art, getting used to it
but the best art, the pieces i've loved the most over the years, tend to not follow them at all
if you've got an idea in mind, but are holding back from doing it because it breaks those rules, execute it anyway
see what happens
worst case, you've got a failed experiment.. take that experience, see what went wrong and learn from it
