  1. Alright, so my 'almost free weekend' has been much less free than I'd thought. Mostly because of that 8 inches of snow that takes hours to shovel. Not only that, but I today learned that the Governor's school application I received Friday is due tomorrow. My bad guys, I'll have them up before the beginning of the next weekend.

  2. The point of the thread is he was asking for help on how to translate a tutorial.

    I know, but that tutorial already translates perfectly to Paint.NET... :|

    You're right though, widening a nose is pretty hard with smudge, but you can do it if you work at it for awhile. I'd try another option first though, because when I say 'awhile' I mean I worked at it for 25 minutes and was only satisfied when I zoomed out to 50%...

  3. For the first time in nearly a month, I have an almost free weekend. To celebrate this, I will be creating a multi-texture creation tutorial. Of the 10 poll options, I will create a tutorial for the top 5.

    Poll Ended.

    *Note1: Water option will include a mini-tutorial on flow, so don't worry about it's simplicity.

    *Note2: All options will include mini-tutorials on how to apply them, once again, do not worry about simplicity.

    *Note3: If a tie occurs, I will pick the one that I deem more useful.

    *Note4: Skin option will also show alternate steps that create a green leaf texture.

    Bark 13% 13% [ 6 ]

    Brushed Metals 10% 10% [ 5 ]

    Granite 15% 15% [ 7 ]

    Heavy Fabric 6% 6% [ 3 ]

    Light Fabric 4% 4% [ 2 ]

    Paneled Wood 8% 8% [ 4 ]

    Skin 17% 17% [ 8 ]

    Solid-piece Hardwood 0% 0% [ 0 ]

    Synthetic Rubber 6% 6% [ 3 ]

    Water 21% 21% [ 10 ]

    It appears that I will be creating tutorials for-

    Bark

    Brushed Metals

    Keep watch in the texture sub-forum as I am hoping to be finished with this by Sunday night. Thank you for voting, I'm a very indecisive person and could not choose for myself.

  4. Anything musical or related to music will fly, but keep this special rule in mind: for this competition, use only 1 render (linked to in the usual manner).[/center]

    this rule is totally senseless.

    It's a perfectly legitimate rule...? :?

    Surely you can think of something music related other than cropping a band's picture and throwing in a few effects?

  5. That is your opinion, but that is not at all what I am saying to him. I am giving him encouragement. You don't know what he and I have said in private conversations do you? We have been talking about different tips and techniques, and I do think his image is very good. So thanks for stating your opinion, however wrong about my intentions it may be. I hope that DragonG1 will realize that he has done a very good job. It's very imaginative, exactly what I was hoping for when I chose the theme. I hope that once you get to know me, as others have, you will realize that I do not treat people in the way that you have assumed.

    Alright, fair enough, I didn't know you were talking to him in any way other than what I've seen. It definitely puts a different spin on your post.

    Still, now discluding your post, I see a bit too much of that on the forums. I'd much rather hear what is wrong with my work than "Looks very nice." That is how people get better. I like hearing compliments as much as the next guy, but it does annoy me when I see an entire page of "Ehh, colors. 7/10," 'in the Rate the sig of the poster above you!' thread. I'm not supporting talking down to someone, there usually is something to comment on positively in an image even when the rest of your post is critique. Or I've grown too used to more cynical forums, where as this one is completely different.

    [Long story short- I'm ranting about nothing because I'm worried about my semester grade and the final exam I finished today]

  6. I think you'll give these old pros a run for their money ! :D

    *In my opinion, that's almost as rude as saying it's terrible. Be nice, but don't lie to make people feel better. I see that a lot on this forum, but I'm not trying to single you out, Possum.

    Also, I'm definitely not saying I could do better with the pencil tool, dragonG1. Quite the opposite, probably. :wink:
