Thunderjaw Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Hello, this is the first piece I have really sunk my teeth into with Paint.net (love this program by the way). I think I'm starting to get a hang of using layers for color and shading etc., but I need help to finish. Could someone tell me the best way to get rid of the rough edges around the monster? If you look close, there is a small edge of "green" between his outline and the black background, and I know it would take forever to try and use the eraser tool to do it, plus I would just screw it up. There has got to be a better way. Also, what if I decided to add a details background, (swamp scene or something), does anyone have a recommendation on how I might best integrate something like that? Thanks a lot. PS: this software is so perfect for someone like me.... I have been an artist all my life, and always I have been jealous of people who can afford expensive photo editing and art programs, while I was stuck with MSPaint... This opens so many doors for me. Thank you Paint.net!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountnman Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 i would try using a guassian blur at 1 or 2 radius then AAs assistant first to try and blend that "green" outline into the black- might leave of the blur, id have to try it and see if it degraded my monster... as for adding a background- first get rid of the black http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/13796-cutting-out-images/ save the image with a ttransparent background, then create a new backgrounsd and past mr monster on a layer above it Quote SARCASM- Just one of the many services I offer free to the public.

mountnman Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 AAs assitant is an anti-aliasing effect, meant for smoothing edges, but if your trying to blend in something thats only a pixel wide it can do the job effects/object/AAs assistant believe that comes in dpys plugin pack http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?app=core&module=attach§ion=attach&attach_id=4235 Quote SARCASM- Just one of the many services I offer free to the public.

pdnnoob Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) I was going to say something, but from the looks of the improved picture, I think you figured it out (nice work!). Love the teeth on that thing XD Edited April 29, 2011 by pdnnoob Quote No, Paint.NET is not spyware...but, installing it is an IQ test. ~BoltBait Blend modes are like the filling in your sandwich.
