brouillette3 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 GREAT!! I NEED A TUTOR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goonfella Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Very nice, although the flames along the wings don`t look quite right and there are a few jaggies around the centre piece . I like the spotlight effect though. Nice work :wink: Please feel free to visit my Gallery on PDNFans And my Alternatives to PDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boude Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 you should make a fuller, that would make the sword looks way much better. History repeats itself, because nobody was paying attention the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance McKnight Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 GREAT!! I NEED A TUTOR Be careful shouting, pal. It might rupture someone's ear drums and it's a rule breaker. If you need help with PDN, check out the array of tutorials we have here, or consult the help file. This is a very extremely friendly forum where people are more than happy to help you out. Very nice, although the flames along the wings don`t look quite right and there are a few jaggies around the centre piece . I like the spotlight effect though. Nice work :wink: Yeah I thought so too. Suggestion on how I could fix the flames? I used an abstract brush to do that, played with Color Balance, Color Filter, Glow, Smudge, and changed the layer properties to Glow. *ears perked for a wise advice* you should make a fuller, that would make the sword looks way much better. I'm not quite understanding what you are saying. For one thing, your sentence is fragmented, and I'm scratching my head. Drop me a PM to explain it fully. I don't mean to be rude.

oma Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 that sure is coming along nicely. the flames are a nice touch. maybe a bit of yellow and white and the littlest tinniest amount of blue in the flames will give the contrast you need to make it look sizzling hot. ciao OMA My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HELEN Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Yup. Oma has some good advice. Otherwise, I think it's slammin' good!!

Minoeman Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Ahhhhh!! It's getting so close... But you might want to still put the coat of arms in there, mate.

(Yes, I DID agree with goonfella) Yeah I figured you agreed with Goonie. To tell you the truth, that is something I plan on working eventually, as soon as I am finished with the piece I'm working on.

Lance McKnight Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 I gotcha, Welsh. That was something I tried to do at first and didn't liked it. It made the seal stand out nakedly, if you catch my drift, and I decided to keep the flame touching the seal. But maybe with a bit of subtle tweak here and there, I might make it better. Thanks for the tip. Officially retired from this forum. Have a nice day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance McKnight Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 Thank you so much Helen! Now I can finally move onto other projects that had been burning in my head. No wonder the smoke alarm been blaring lately these days. Officially retired from this forum. Have a nice day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HELEN Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 You always make me laugh. Your sayings are just too funny. Well, I'm glad you have those projects burning in your head. lol. The only way to put the fire out is to start creating them. I can't wait!

Lance McKnight Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 Here's a hint: it'll be a cross between a coat of arm and the wing & sword piece. Stay tuned....

Lance McKnight Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 I know, I know, I know... I promised to make a new project regarding my above and forementioned post, but I saw this tut on Abduzeedo and I just had to try it. I thought it turned out fairly well, if not accurately as close as that image, but close. Officially retired from this forum. Have a nice day.

oma Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 good job on that last image. looks remarkably similar to the auroa borealis I see from my living room window on a cold eve. only thing missing is the musical dance the skylights often do. (perhaps sinwaves :wink: ) ciao OMA PS love the flames in the sword picture. My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goonfella Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Superb!. How about putting it on a background pic so it looks as if you are standing there looking up at it? I think that would finish it off nicely. Please feel free to visit my Gallery on PDNFans And my Alternatives to PDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance McKnight Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Am I SUPPOSED to be impressed?Cause I am, good work! It took me 30 seconds to realize you were complimenting me. Thanks. It's breath-taking. Nice job once again. Thank you. The tut was done using Pixelmator which is a really nice software. Too bad it's for Mac. But, it looks remarkably similar to PDN. good job on that last image. looks remarkably similar to the auroa borealis I see from my living room window on a cold eve. only thing missing is the musical dance the skylights often do. (perhaps sinwaves :wink: ) ciao OMA PS love the flames in the sword picture. To tell you the truth, I had been entertaining the thought of experimenting with line/sine waves, motion blur, and Outline Object to create something. When I have the chance I will work on it. Thank you for the compliment for my sword pic. As I have said in your gallery, I would love to know how you did the sword. That's something I would like to master. Superb!. How about putting it on a background pic so it looks as if you are standing there looking up at it? I think that would finish it off nicely. Yeah, and then somebody will fall out of his chair trying to look up at the sky. Perspective is tough for me to achieve, to tell you the truth, but doable. Darn, my typing hands are cramping up.

Lance McKnight Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 @ Welshblue, I'm not a lover of pink either. I was following the tut I mentioned above, and it turned out fairly decent. Not a WOW factor, but just enough to get people to give me a pat on the back. -------------------- *bump* Here's my promised work a new coat of arm WIP. I am experimenting with chrome this time. And it's not done, so check as often as you wish to see its progress. Officially retired from this forum. Have a nice day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HELEN Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 It looks really good so far. I bet it'll be a masterpiece just like your other images.

Boude Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 try to use less and longer gradients for the wings and use some gradients for the helmet too. History repeats itself, because nobody was paying attention the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
