Thank you, Red! I will get back to you when the project is finished. It's a different project than the ones I was working on but I promise it will be a fun one

Hi Red, I'm not sure I understand about the texture/gradient/ photo: do you mean a copy of my background layer that I have adjusted the texture and gradient? Sorry I haven't really messed around with all the tools & effects but I'm still learning

I finally got around to using the clip warp (don't ask why it took me so long) but I'm stuck; the object that I want to use clip warp on is in custom-mini brushes and I have to have it in color....how does one add color seamlessly to the object they are trying to clip warp? I have some ideas but none of them seem satisfactory . Any help or ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Red Ochre, Your post made me giggle a little but more importantly made me think of what a wise woman told me: " the secret to a long- happy life is a good sense of humor and making sure you have fun everyday." Don't worry about hitting the big one.....It seems to me like you follow the wise woman's advice quite well.

I didn't look at all the works before I posted before. WOW, Red Ochre, what an awesome piece of work your dragon is! I really like the personality in the face .

Wow! What beautiful works of art you all have made! Very creative Nite Nurse and Sasha. I can't wait till I get the hang of this...even though this might take me a little while because.....well you can teach an old dog new tricks it just takes a little while longer LOL. (old joke) I usually expect myself to understand how these special effects work right away and when I don't I can sometimes feel a little daunted.... Uh-Oh! Be prepared for silly questions, Red Ochre!

Thanks, Doughty

Thank you, Nibre, I will try that.

One question after watching the video: Can you use the Alpha along with custom brushes? And how do you do this?

Thank you I found it helpful.

BTW I tried to let the video download for 20 minutes and nothing happened.

Hello Miners71, I had a few problems with that tutorial and the video I tried to watch wouldn't download . I was also wondering if there is a way to remove a background that isn't all one color?

I tried to watch the video but it takes too long to download Is there a newer alpha mask/displacement tutorial?

Thank You Drew!

Thanks Red Ochre, Clipwarp? Is that a plug-in I need to install on my PDN?

Hi Just wanted to bump this up. I'm still open to suggestions about the blood, but for now I will experiment to see what I can come up with on my own

I think you are right Pdnoob.... I will work with a different picture with the actor smiling

Thanks I appreciate it.....the downside to the tutorial you recommended is that my actors mouth is closed and the models in the tutorial have their mouths wide open showing plenty of teeth to work with. Its going to be interesting to try to figure out how to draw in the fangs on my actor.

Hi there, (I think I had asked a similar question sometime ago...couldn't find it in my archives but if I did I apologize ) I am making another actor into a vampire : How do I create blood dripping out of the corners of my subjects mouth that looks real? And Fangs; My subjects mouth is closed how do I make them look real without making them look cartoonish? Hmmmm, the fangs I think I just need to play around with the lighting and shading but when it comes to drawing talent I am still a puppy. Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated Thank You

Thank you for creating this tutorial! I had fun doing it. I am going to make more of these pictures with a few more effects...say like a night sky with a moon? I need night-time backgrounds for my characters. I will post them as soon as possible. this should be a fun project BTW here is my first nebula: http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag29/KellyJWats777/Nebula1_zpsf20b261d.jpg

Wow, Drydareelin, very nice! I really like the one with the planet exploding and the man trying to reach out to it. Very beautifully done!

Thanks Nitenurse ! I will give it a try.

Hi there, I am still learning and doing a lot of practicing on Paint.NET. Would you recommend I download this? I am still learning how to download/create new brushes. I don't quite understand how to do all the programming aspects of the effects or how I could create my own but I definately want to learn how. Thank You

Okay Ego, I would usually go right to the support for this software but I can't find a website for it . If people use this software on a regular basis I was hoping someone could tell me where I need to go to get help? All I have is an e-mail address for the creator of the software and when I tried to send an e-mail I get the message that it was not sent because its invalid. Can anyone tell me where I need to go for support for the Abr viewer or if theres some other file converting software I could use?

Thanks Sozo, I tried uninstalling and re-installing the software but am still having issues...one of them is trying to contact the developers directly but can't find a direct website for this software. From all looks it seems to be outdated or doesn't work in windows 7. My Next Question is this; If so many people use this there MUST be a version to run in windows 7, right? I've tried searching the internet and have not found anything that helps.
