  1. That looks really fantastic! How did u do that? What could have been inside that? Surely a cat :D

    This is how to make the crumpled paper look.

    I'll just leave this here... I felt it was too short for its own thread (It would take like 5 seconds to make one if everyone feels it does deserve its own thread.)

    The actual bag itself was a lot of Shape3D angles that I don't remember. :P

  2. Generally, Photoshop's Liquify tool is used for something so drastic (of course that's no where near an option with PdN... :|)

    You could try small 'negative' bulges at different areas around the image.

    I think that you might be able to adapt the 'Real Car --> Toy Car Conversion' tutorial to suit your needs as well.

  3. not like some of the unique images here but this was made completely using paint.net:

    In agreement with what everyone else is saying, you've done some smashing work on this. I simply won't be able to rest until I emulate your camouflage pattern.

    Furthermore, I'll be emotionally crushed if the words "stock image" are in your next post*.

    *Unless the words "it was not a" are in front of it.

    @ Azurithil - Lookin' good. You might want to consider making it appear as if the stars are being sucked into the black hole/transdimensional warp gate thing as well. (Alternatively, if the planet is supposed to be coming out of the dimensional rift thing, disregard my previous statement. ;))

    (Also, it's against dA's rules to hotlink images (even your own) directly. See http://help.deviantart.com/229/ for more details :))

    @ Stephan - :shock: Well... you totally beat me. I couldn't think of a single thing to do with it.

    Maybe... um, small (even semi-translucent) content boxes/windows?

  4. Ok, so I was thinking about Photoshop brushes. You can set the scatter amount and stuff, which leads to random dots all over the place. Would it be possible (or practical may be the better word) to make a plugin that generates dots randomly? I've done something similar to what I mean with Flash here.

    ... ... ...

    Well, there's my suggestion/request.

    ActionScript is infinitely different than any of the C languages, but on the offchance it helps, here's the scripting used to generate the dots.

    if (_root.incolor == "random") {
    for (i=0; i<_root.amount; i++) {
    	var t = this.attachMovie("dot", "dot"+i, i);
    	t._x = Math.random()*600;
    	t._y = Math.random()*500;
    	t._xscale = Math.random()*200+20;
    	t._yscale = t._xscale;
    	t.myColor = new Color("dot"+i);
    	t.myColor.setRGB(random(999999));
    }
    } else {
    for (i=0; i<_root.amount; i++) {
    	var t = this.attachMovie("dot", "dot"+i, i);
    	t._x = Math.random()*600;
    	t._y = Math.random()*500;
    	t._xscale = Math.random()*200+20;
    	t._yscale = t._xscale;
    	t.myColor = new Color("dot"+i);
    	t.myColor.setRGB(_root.dotcolor);
    }
    }

  5. Good to hear... :)

    But I just spent about 2 minutes formatting a list, so I'll post this anyway, because it's very 'complete'... and seems like less of a waste of time. >_>

    --------

    Firstly, make sure you write your text on a new layer.

    From there, you have two options.

    1. [*:3e1mnvg1]Use the Rotate/Zoom feature.
    • [*:3e1mnvg1]Layers -> :RotateZoom:
      [*:3e1mnvg1]Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + Z

    [*:3e1mnvg1]Select your text with any of the selection tools

    Then use the Move Tool :MoveTool: and right click to rotate the text

    • [*:3e1mnvg1]Holding shift will constrain the rotation to 15 degree intervals

  6. It's been a good long while since I had to print anything, so I may very well be wrong. But I believe that MS Paint (yes... the lame little thing that Paint.NET is supposed to be replacing) has a less cumbersome print interface that doesn't resize your pictures at all... At least I think. Be sure to let me know how it works out. :D
