Helen's Graphics (UPDATE--NEW images!!')

[HELEN]

I don't really care about pages, it's the quality that counts. lol. Thanks TopHATslash!

[TopHATslash]

10 pages of high quality work.

[HELEN]

I hope you find the new glossies interesting.

[oma]

love the new glossies (but check your red one. you left some stray pixels, I can see where you moved it)

I really like how you added the highlights in the sweet little girls hair. makes it just seem so much more alive.

keep up the good work and have a wonderful Christmas.

(I forgot to let you know I loved the picture you sent me of the cottage, it truly does look like a Kincaid )

ciao

OMA

[HELEN]

There! I fixed it! (I noticed it only after you told me, thanks.)

I'm happy you noticed the highlights and I like making my images coming alive if you know what I mean. I'm glad you liked my Kinkade painting, too!

[oma]

actually did you traditional paint that kincaid one or do it in a computor program? i meant to ask before but forgot. its truly exceptional.

ciao OMA

[HELEN]

No, I painted it traditionally. I decided to show it to you because that's what I sometimes do when I have time. It took me seven months to paint.

[TopHATslash]

I hope you find the new glossies interesting.

I love the bottom one!

[Kemaru]

Me too. I like them both, but the red one seems more interesting Good job, it seems that I have lots to learn.

(Oh, and great job on the Mademoiselle, I don't remember complimenting that one before.)

[HELEN]

Thanks, Kemaru. Glad you visited. I enjoyed working on the Mademoiselle. Smudging sure is fun!

[LFC4EVER]

Nice glossies you have there. Great job on the mademoiselle too. KIU!

Once thing i've noticed in most of you work is that you've feathered the edges but you still seem get some slightly aliased edges. You can get rid of this by using Alias (by Mike Ryan) first, then Feather (by BB) with True feather. Or, use Alpha mask.

I suggest you learn how to alpha mask if you don't know, as if used properly alpha mask never gives aliased edges.

[HELEN]

I know, TopHATslash told me. I just didn't have time to learn how to do so yet. It's time that I need. Thanks for the tips!

[Kemaru]

It's not that hard. Save and open

Perhaps someone should make a tutorial on it. (Not me, though, I'm still learning )

Alpha masking tut already exists.

There are also tuts on this forum that kind of teach you how to use alpha mask too. Just gotta do a little exploring. (or search)

[ZizOiz]

you draw people so well!I really like you cartoon style drawings.

[HELEN]

Glad you visited and commented. Thank you for your kind words. :wink:

[HELEN]

I added a new image. I hope you like it. I know it's a little jaggedy and blurry, but *sigh* it takes such a long time to make it look perfect. I'm working on some other things.

[Kemaru]

It looks good. Let's just say that jagged outlines are in

I like your colour choices, you always know how to pick two matching colours :3

[HELEN]

Thanks, Kemaru for you very kind words.

I added a new image. Merry Christmas everyone!!!

[HELEN]

That's fine (about the butterfly) I think that I'll delete it. I didn't have a very good experience with it; too much going on at once. Thank you for the smilies in "awe." I can't wait till Christmas!

[HELEN]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. :wink:

[ZizOiz]

I really like the flow of the piece, and the color scheme ties it together. Your Christmas ornaments I like.

[worldnewser]

I really like that Christmas piece. I like the color scheme (I'm a sucker for blue ). I just wished the ornaments weren't blurred.. but hey, it's still cool (quite literally)

[survulus]

Really loving that new christmas piece. I also really like how your material seems to have a nicely consistant style to it.

[HELEN]

Thanks, survulus. I'm happy you visited my gallery. I haven't had time to work on any new images, but I think I'll have one done today (I'm hoping). Thanks!
