TF2: Meet The Tommy Artist's comments Art Specs: Time taken: About a few weeks, working randomly on and off in little bits of five minutes at a time. Programs used: Paint.NET Techniques used: Typical techniques I use. See past works. Stocks used: None. Except for the avatar on the front of the minigun. Which was made by the person that the person this art portrays.

dA works if you have close friends on there and you look in the right places.

McCain only met the woman twice before picking her as his running mate. It's obvious he justs wants to have a woman so he can get a little more media attention. Kinda sad really. I'd much rather have competent people running and competent people voting. But instead we have a nation filled with people who just want to see the first black president or the first female president. While that's fine, it's better to make a politically informed decision rather than a decision based off of personal preferences. a lot of people don't even look into the candidate before voting. They just look at the

Beautiful sig. That is all. Meeting adjourned.

Very nice, far better than my first sig. But a few minor complaints. 1. Needs a border, a 1px black border will do, you don't need anything too fancy, just something to separate it from the forum background. Just a small simple step that makes the sig look loads better in my opinion. 2. For next time, something slightly more original. No offense, but I see so many halo sigs they start to all look alike. Not saying your sig is bad, because it most certainly is not, but yeah, lack of originality.

No. You don't need a bunch of filters and effects on text to make it look good. Just make it contrast less with the cover is all. Or put it in a more suitable place.

Very nice work on those headphones.

Well I'm sorry my sig doesn't meet your expectations in terms of size. But I like making my sigs small. And I personally don't enjoy gigantic sigs that push the size limits. I keep mine small because I prefer them over big blocky ones. But I'm weird. Ignore me. Anyway. 7/10 for yours. I dislike the font choice because it's kind of bland and doesn't add to the personality or tone of the sig. The render is good, but feels like it lost its potential because you faded it so much and put it in an odd place. The logo on the left is too bold compared to the render on the right. They contrast too

Really helpful tutorial. I started at the same way Mike Ryan did, and developed similar techniques myself that he mentioned in this thread to keep me motivated organized, and relaxed. One thing I want to add on: This sorta fits under the "Enjoy what you do!" section, but don't be afraid to procrastinate a little. If you're working on a long art piece that takes quite a bit of time to finish, save finishing it for another day. I used to be the kind of person who NEEDED to finish everything in one day. This was my worst bad habit and it was the hardest one to quit. But once I learned to work o

7/10, too big for my tastes. I think your crticism could've gone a little deeper. :wink: In all seriousness. 7/10 for the first. It's pretty, but pretty dull. 8/10 for the second. It would be a 9 if the render were a tad smoother. 8/10 for the third. My favorite of the bunch.

Eh. They're alright. I made one awhile back when the first GTA IV artwork was released back in early 2007.

Didn't read this whole thread, just the article. I'm iffy about this, yes they're terrible people for picking on the girl, but she could've had more self control than to go and hang herself. I used to get picked on a lot throughout elementary and middle school and it caused me to be really anti-social for awhile. Not to mention a tad awkward. I bottled my feelings up and never got therapy, yet I never went and killed myself or even thought of it. And anonymity is a need on the internet. It has come in really handy before. As for using the internet to do illegal things, some of us actually ne

6/10. The lightning really doesn't fit with the simpsons render. I know it's supposed to make the choking look more epic (or something along those lines), but you should lower the brightness and increase the contrast on homer and bart. They'll fit with the background more.
