Heat Stroke

I like your art! My favorite of yours is the The beginning of the end of a Solar System. Very cool! Did you use motion blur for the stars? for was it fragment? I found that drawing 2, two pixel, lines through the center (up and down, then side to side, to form a cross) work better for the sparkle. I then use a radial transparency gradient to fade the ends out. Another way to make a thumbnail is to copy the direct link (the second code in Barbieq's screenshot), then go to the top of the reply box, where all the bold, italics, underline, font options are. Go to "other styles" > thumbnail(should be at the very bottom). Paste your direct link in there. Then you should get a thumbnail that goes directly to the picture. example: http://i366.photobucket.com/albums/oo103/TEA_BONZ/paint%20dot%20net%20edits/76-a.jpg

Take your time, get well, and dont worry about delaying the comp. Its no big deal.

I love Mayor's sig. I think the text could be better placed, but that is my only complaint. Stone's sig is good in my opinion, but the text is hard to really hard to read. Mayor: 3 Stone: 1 #winner Mayor_McSteeze Well, I guess I will battle: render of myself wearing a gas mask. used some grunge brushes in the background.

The link for Evan's Seven WP doesnt work for me... But I saw it on DA, and I like it! I like them all, they are all so beautiful. My favorite one though is Water Witch WP. That is amazing!

Emerald Deco is my favorite of the two! Breathtaking!

I love your C4D sigs! They are all completely awesome!

I like the grungy look of Chrisco's sig. Even though I like car sigs better, I dont know how much of Axle's is Paint.Net. It looks like its just a border and text over a stock. I apologize if I am wrong. But my vote still goes to Chrisco. axle: 2 chrisco: 2

I like #3 and #4. The background of #2 is very nice!

I agree with everyone else, amazing job with both!

Very nice carnation! It looks so real!

I like both versions of this one. They can both be used for different things based on the look you want. Great job! They look awesome!

I agree with Chrisco as well. Asuming Stone voted for Axle: Kemaru: 0 Axle: 3 #winner Axle I will enter:

WOW! the abstract is stunning! Very very well done!

Thanks Welshblue! I will start making larger (probably 1024X768 or double that so it can be cropped to desktop size). Im glad you like them! Thanks for your support! Sorry Chrisco, I almost forgot about your comment. Thank you! Edit: New sigs! I have been very busy this entire week. I only just did these and I only had time for sigs. Hopefully I will have time over this weekend (fat chance) to make a full sized piece. I used a render of myself in a gas mask. I used grunge brushes in the background. I unfortunately dont know which brush packs were used, so I cant give the creator any credit. I will keep looking. I only used one splatter brush in this one. sig for the band Powerman5000, one of my favorite! another edit: the original of this abstract is 2048X1536. Photobucket unfortunately resized it to 1024X768. If anyone would like a specific size ratio of this one, just tell me and I will upload it. My personal favorite part of it is the top left corner. full(but resized) Corner:

Mayor, I like it and it is really good. But it SkullSplitter's sig uses the stock in a more creative way. Plus, I like SkullSplitter's text and border. Great job! Mayor_McSteeze: 0 SkullSplitter: 1

OK Chrisco, thanks for the help. You helped A LOT! Thanks Barbieq! Im glad you like it! This is the final version I settled on:

I like how you made them look like old photos. Very well done!

Your three new pieces are amazing! "Moody Red" catches my eye because of the awesome jewel!

not needed anymore I agree with Skullsplitter. camerator, if you fix it up a bit, and make it look more realistic, it will be a winner! camerator - 1 chrisco97 - 2

I agree with Axle. Camerator 2 mattz1996 0

I hope you do stop in more often and I think everyone wants you to revamp your gallery! You have such amazing artworks! Im glad you like mine! Tweaked the Deadpool sig a little. Thanks to Kemaru for the advice. Hopefully this is better...

Thanks Possum'! I will keep the colors the same. I have already added some textures to the landscape. I am now trying to make them more realistic with shadows and stuff. So I am still working on it. I will not quit! Thanks Chrisco! Im glad you like them! New sig, and my first decent (hopefully) character render sig:

I think making the rules more noticeable is a good suggestion. That way there is no excuse to not follow the rules. I love the suggestion about the PDF version of tutorials. There is my two cents worth.

I agree with Stone. Axle, very creative! Axle: 2 N00Bz: 0

Sorry for the double post, but I have new art: Ending the year with a BANG!
