  1. I think that YOU have a talent in drawing. I love the tree. I'm working on a forest scenery now. Will post it soon. Good luck with everything and keep up the awesome work!

    That is really cool, awesome! :D

    I absolutely love it!!! It is unusual and creative. The lighting is wonderful.

    Thanks! :mrgreen:

    I love the new piece Zizoiz. I had been playing the new Prince of Persia while the forum was down, and the game itself is all the style like your new picture (I think it's called Shell-shading). Only thing I would fix are the ripples, right now they just seem like pencil lines.

    Overall-very well done.

    Thanks! The style is actually cell-shading-or something similar, since I'm using blurs to create a bit of a gradient, too but...

    Which part of the ripples? the lineart, or the color? :?:

  2. 'tis the opposite of antialias. Namely, 'tis to have no smooth transition into another element of the picture I suppose pixel art is the most aliased thing I can think of. But it's supposed to look that way. As a general rule, most people don't like aliased stuff in other digital art. :)

  3. very nice, though typically glass reflections have a bit harder edge to them. :) I look forward to seeing more from you, and seeing you progress.

    on a side note, your first post reads "welcome tomy gallery." you might want to fix that. :wink:

    to comment above:does it get a halo of sorts around it? If so, you might want to alias it first.

  4. but it is a competition "to see who can make the best login screen." So I guess it really cannot be changed. I think the gold glow effect should be lighter, by the way. Right now, it just looks like a yellow glow, not particularly gold in color.

  5. Hi Everyone --

    New kid on the block. I am not sure this is the right place to ask a question. If not, please correct me and I'll do as asked....

    My question is: How do I "emulate" the transparent mode paste function I use in MSPaint. I have a cross-hatch pattern of "x's" composed of just off-white lines on a transparent (null) background. The lines are RGB 254 255 255. The intent is to copy this, and then paste it on top of an image (e.g. a series of text characters). The result would be text in a "cross-hatched" font. In fact it would look something like the "Font Colour" matrix at right, but the font colors would be the text characters.

    Anyone with ideas and suggestions, advice, counsel, and help, AND willing to share them will be a friend indeed....

    Thanks,

    Rontenfour

    my guess is you would want to take the magic wand tool and press shift while clicking on the color you want to be transparent, then pressing delete.

    Does this help?

  6. there are two ways of doing that that I can think of.

    needed plugins are in red, helpful plugins are in dark red

    You can locate them by searching in the handy search box! :D

    First way, quicker but the rounded corners are always going to be the same size. And the border will be aliased.

    • make a new layer
      select rounded rectangle draw tool
      draw over the portion of you picture that you want to be in the rounded rectangle picture
      select the magic wand select tool
      using the magic wand, select the rounded rectangle
      select your first layer
      copy the selection
      make a new picture. Increase the size of the canvas by twice your border width, in each direction
      paste your picture and center it (for wide borders, the align object plugin is quite helpful, but it looks like you want a 1px border.)
      outline your object with the color of your choice, using the outline object plugin.

    second way:

    • select your image using the rectangle select tool
      copy your image to a new layer, or new canvas. I reccomend a new layer.
      gaussian blur+ set to alpha blurring your image
      larger blurs will get you rounder corners
      go to curves+ and select alpha. set one point at the bottom and at slightly less than 128, and the other at the top and slightly more than 128.
      outline object to your preference
      you're done!

    hope this helps!

  7. thanks! :mrgreen: 'tis good to be back!

    I've got finals now, but soon I shall have a new piece all done. :) (it will not, however, be in the obsessed-with-detail style of a 1px brush painting.)

    NEW: HaHa! shiny new piece!

    EDIT: I was looking for a comic book-y feel to it. I have just two problems with it: the overall rather plain area in the form shadow of the tree, and the rather flat texture of the ripples. I think I shall fix that now...

    EDIT: fixed!
