Rachel1995 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 (edited) Like I've said several times, I'm just beginning to get the hang of this, so bear with me. However, that does not mean I don't want comments. I do. If anyone has any suggestions as to what I might have done better, I welcome it! So, I won't take anymore of your time, reading my introduction Thanks for looking! General Creations Yes. I used a tutorial. 100% Paint.Net - No tuts used. I did use sort of a technique - but no full things.. I like it, but it needs more shading *note: this picture is Paint.net Except for the light rays. But, I'm working on how to do that too. Text Creations Sigs Thanks! I only have a few right now, but hopefully, I'll have more soon! Edited January 21, 2011 by Rachel1995 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barbieq25 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Fantastic! I can see them now. They were worth the wait. The text image is great but my fave of all is the planet one. I love the way you did the light rays/sparkles. Very nice. I hope there will be a lot more to come. Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

pdnnoob Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I agree with barbie on the "favorite" one if a favorite can exist XD. Just add some shading on the planet and you're good to go!

Heat Stroke Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 How do you mean, "shading"? The planet in pdnnoob's sig has shading. That's what would make your planet perfect! Quote Wait!

pdnnoob Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 what heat said lol. Considering the direction the light is coming from, most of the planet should be in the dark, so yes, the shading should be similar to my sig planet. So...when is the tutorial on the rays coming?

Heat Stroke Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 So...when is the tutorial on the rays coming? Agreed! The way you did it is fascinating! I'd love a tutorial too! Quote Wait!

Rachel1995 Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 Well, I understand about the shading, but I did that planet 100% Paint.Net, and at the last part, I couldn't figure out how to do it, so I put the rays in using Photoshop That's just till I figure out how to make them myself:) Should I post that by the picture? By the Way, I'll work on figuring out how to do the rays, and if I figure it out, I'll make a tut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdnnoob Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 The shading is totally do-able in PDN...don't let those Photoshoppers intimidate you with fancy tools Just make a selection approximately where the planet will be shadowed using the circle selection, then blur and remove everything not over the planet! Make sure you use a mask of the shadow to restrict the atmosphere to the brightened side. Photoshop? tsk tsk Whether you post that or not is your choice...I think. I don't have a gallery so I'm really the wrong person to ask XD Good luck with the tutorial!

JulioCoolio Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Agreed with Heat Stroke and pdnnoob. Shading would make the planet pop! Quote Gallery Image Blog Portfolio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kemaru Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Great start! It's a good idea to follow the tutorials and understand the tools. I really like how you did the planet texture. Try to add different colours next time. Good work overall.
