W@@dy Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) I'm new here, but I've been using Paint.NET for a while, and I decided it's time I join the forums to pick up tips to really improve my work. I've kinda hit a wall recently. Most of my stuff is random, and I hardly spend more than 20 minutes on it. I'm going to post what I feel is worthy of sight. The first few are my my personal favs (Oh btw, you can call me Woody incase you're wondering if the "@"s are "A"s or "O"s) Hidden Content: Hidden Content: Made this yesterday I believe. The AB is how my friend signs his initials, then I used the Weave plugin, followed by a series of "Glow" "Soften" "Film" and finally I used "Smudge" to warp the edges. Hidden Content: Hidden Content: A lot of people tell me they love this Hidden Content: Those last two were for a School Project. I scrapped them both. Hidden Content: Never actually watched 24 lol Hidden Content: Hidden Content: Don't ask how I get the inspiration for some of these pics, cus honestly I haven't a clue Hidden Content: Those two were for a friend Hidden Content: His name is Ricky Hidden Content: I'm...not really sure on this one...It's relevant to the America's Army forums, I know that. Coe is a mod there...can't remember how I got psychrolutes though...huh... Hidden Content: This still makes me giggle like a school girl it's so cheesy Hidden Content: Something to do with a sugar rush, that's all I remember. Hidden Content: KITTEH!!! Hidden Content: This was my very first picture I ever made with Paint.NET Don't be hatin Hidden Content: New one. I really like it regardless of what you say lol. Here's the original pic http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/a/a5/RC_copy.jpg Ask if you want to know how I did it. It was a lot if I remember right. New Addition Hidden Content: I made this one for Coe. I followed that Space tutorial for a few other pics. This one I didn't really follow the tut, I just messed around with things til I liked it. Overall I like it. I screwed up a few times (I didn't like the noise level, but couldnt go back to fix it because I merged the layers eons back) You can see my more recent work is towards the top and are a lot better than the last few lol So, what do you think?

KidBoy140 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 The first one: Love it! Good effects and good use of the Smudge plugin. 8/10 The second one: Yeah, it's good but basic. 6/10 The third one: I like it, but I don't love it, seems pretty basic to me. Maybe some other effects added would help. 7/10 The fourth one: I'm not such a fan of this one but it's OK. 6/10 The fifth one: Yeah, again too basic for me. 5/10 The sixth one: Good one! Did you create the lens flares yourself? If you did 8/10, if not 7/10. The seventh one: I like it. Good colour scheme, they all match up. 6.5/10 The eighth one: A bit random, but whatever. 5/10 The ninth one: Basic but well done. Good extraction of the eagle. 7/10 The tenth one: Nice! Good effects. 7.25/10 The eleventh one: Did you make the hamster yourself? Good one though, made me giggle, your others are better though. 6/10 The twelfth one: Quite weird but again good colours. 7/10 The thirteenth one: The cow is hilarious, makes me laugh too! 8/10 The fourteenth one: I can definitely tell that was made on a sugar high, funny though. 7.9/10 The fifteenth one: Nice cat! Basic though, try adding a background and some effects. 6/10 The sixteenth one: For your first picture, it's good, I suppose. Compared to your stuff now though, 3/10, sorry That took a while but I hope you take my comments on board. Thanks for that laugh... Moochos gracias! Hilarious!

KidBoy140 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Just something I threw together using your cow picture, perhaps it's an improvement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W@@dy Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 Haha thanks for the improved cow. The cow wasn't original unfortunately. Neither was the idea Someone made it into a Bday card for our Spanish teacher, when I heard about it I died laughing. Sometimes even the simplest things just kill me. I know a lot of them are pretty simple. I don't like to spend too much time on my pictures unfortunately. A lot of those are months old as well, and I've gotten better. I made something yesterday, I'll add that in in a moment. I'm also working on something currently. This one is for my girl so I'm putting a lot of effort into it. I'll give you previews when I get somewhere. Right now I'm just experimenting with different ideas and styles. Any tips to help recreate the index of refraction in glass/crystal objects? I'm using the 3D cube render, setting text behind it, then selecting each side individually, moving back to the text layer, and applying a bulge distortion. After that I change the angle of the text to help match the side. It's working so far, but it's a lot of work lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidBoy140 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 The cow wasn't original unfortunately. You didn't make the cow then? I'm going to have to rerate in that case: 4/10, sorry Any tips to help recreate the index of refraction in glass/crystal objects? I don't but try looking here. it's a lot of work PdN always is.
