RAAAAAAAAAAH! I hope you're kidding. I don't think he is :evil: :evil: that should be in the "very important read first dummies" file Next to the "read me"

The spam thread is the off topic section. Post there if you want to spam. If you have a tip for pdn by all means share here "I am a spammer!" does not qualify for a tip according to Rick... :?

no i was meaning on a new canvas so that you can use the brush at it' s full size. Hmm. I always did it slightly differently... O___o' 1) flatten image. 2) use the brush thing on the flattened image. Get it to what you like. click Ok. 3) undo until you have all your layers again. 4) make a new layer 5) ctl+f

I always use the same text... ALL FONTS ARE IS COMMUNICATION IN AN ART FORM. Make the art form conform to what you're doing. If you have a simple signature, appropriate font. Complex signature, anything that goes with the flow (most likely will be a simple font legible at very small sizes) If it's a dot matrix sorta thing. Maybe get a dot matrix test? The font is your communication help to the person viewing your graphic art. It is communication but it is also part of the art. Don't ruin the art by ruining the text. They go hand in hand man Oh yeah, and chat. I love it but the gradient in the background is somehow too complex and interfering with the scene? The foreground is simple while the bg is complex but it's flashy enough to draw our eyes away from what we need to see. Try bluring the background or making it a linear gradient stretching from the figure to the beyond

True, but you gotta get the right text for it man. He's using all that bubly textie junk it looks horrible with the sigs (no offense, the sigs are nice the text isn't fitting though) If he changes them to a techno-macro font I can guarantee improvement in the sig's look. Or he could just make the font really tenie and modify it pixel by pixel in a separate document :shock: that'd take too much work though hehe.

Nah, the text is fine Diff font would help [my personal preference is for the style you're doing you should use a text legible at very small sizes like a technoey font O.o' Whatcha' think? All text is really is communication in an art form. (Pictures are communication in graphics form.)]

Hmm, from my knowledge of photoshop I'd say that that image has been altered in photoshop and then he got it off the internet and pasted the text on there xD (You would need to use levels and a cooling filter to get that look from a sea pic like that. Or have a million dollar camera with a gel on the lens)

You were too busy facepalming yourself O__o" And I wanna see hellboynecro's pdn artwork. He did his work in photoshop I think O.o" But I wanna see him try it in paint.NET

Whoa ! Nice ! Now do it in PdN ! I know you can. No he can't (jk) I wanna see what you accomplish in PDN Will be interesting O__o

I lol'd at that *claps* And yes, possum has a good suggestion (my .5 cents to makes his worth 2 )

I think its pretty good.....the dark bit adds meaning to it in a way somehow......... what do u guys think of my new one:) @Raptor Okay dude, I know you're already going to be ticked off at me for saying this but the dark has to go Make it a really nice dark tan or something that the raptor comes from. Not just a fat brush with Gaussian blur smeared all over it (that's what it looks like to me personally) B--B--But teh KOLORZ :shock: :shock: :shock: they so pwetty T.T @BEyza Jokes aside, yeah. As much as I like polar inversion You gotta do without 8) There are some instances where you can use it correctly. Oma is one, and... (by yours truly, using for example) If you look at it You can see that the polar inversion I used creates something abstract (props to MadJik for the abstract tutorial) And it is something, maybe something else. (the eyes do make it kinda slanted for "abstract" but meh I like it that way <.<" ) The effect of polar inversion is not to get something colorful, it's to get something unexpected. Which, combined with something called knowledge and experience (you'll get that later hopefully XD) You can make some really awesome stuff. Just check Oma out :shock: I have no clue how she even got the COLORS on half of her stuff much less the blinkie stuff. (did I mention how much I like blinkie stuff? xD) Overall I like the sig, you just need some experience, something other than polar inversion, and a paintbrush and you're good to go I'd like to see what other awesomeness everyone gets around to doing O____o"

Aaaaggghhhh! Big words ! I'm just a small woodland creature with an internet connection. Ok, I know what you are talking about now, sort of. After reading a big long scientific explanation about wavelengths and nano whozies, then part of Abney's Law (optics) "The shift in apparent hue of spectral color that is desaturated by addition of white light is toward the red end of the spectrum if the wavelength is below 570 nanometers and toward the blue if it is above." (Yeah as if I understand that) I finally ran across an article by a photographer who explained it in normal people terms and actually had pictures. Then I found this site that had color palettes. And voila, Thanks ! I learned something else tonight. Ok brain is full, must go to bed now. Here's another lesson for you If you ever manage to get out of bed o.O" [off topic: happy birthday to me ]

* G A S P * it's Kermit! And cousins of Kermit o.o" They don't seem to like eachother :O (I like the picture though, 20/2)

You're right about that other laser blast. I was trying to suggest different weapon types were hitting the hull. Instead, that blast just looks like a shadow, so I thought I could turn it into the shadow of whatever's attacking . . . but a better burn would likely make more sense. It's funny you showed me that flag tutorial. That's exactly what I used to give the panel a smashed in look. I'm not sure how to tweak it further to give a better busted in look. The key to the displacement map seems to be how much you blur the black and white parts on top of the greyscale map. Is that what you used on your curtains? I didn't think you could be that detailed and get such a subtle effect. I gave it a try in photoshop I used two effects lol... 1) Liquify... 2) Photo filter + brightness/contrast filter What do you think?
