Soldier_Dude05 Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I see a lot of stuff you guys do with PDN, but I have hit sort of a block. I can't think of anything to make. I have only been experimenting with PDN and still haven't gotten much of a hang of it. Anyone got any ideas of something I should try? Thanks. Quote Holey bloody potato!

BoltBait Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Just hop over to the Tutorials forum and follow a few of those. They might inspire you to change some of the steps and come up with something completly new.

Yata Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Everyone hits that point, myself included. Try to find a style that you like, some people enjoy old, antique graphics, when others like myself, like glassy, sleek ones. Then try to fiddle around in the tutorial section as BB said, you'll eventually get something you like and can add your own twist to it. I really like this tutorial if it interests you: http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=3031 Quote "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former" [ dA Paint.NET Chat :: Yata on dA ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might inspire you to change some of the steps and come up with something completly new. Already looked at most of em (yes, even on other pages) and only a few intreaged me to try them.

I've been experimenting with metal textures and some tuorial future designs, but I just don't like the results. I'll keep trying with the tutorials, thanks for the ideas guys.

usedHONDA Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I had the same problem you had. That's why I'm making cursor packs.

usedHONDA Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I find it fun. I also like doing it because it gets popular in a hurry-- it's rare that anybody posts a cursor pack.

PineappleQc Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Well, Pictorium is a constant source of inspiration. Try to pick a random picture, tweek it or something and try to get an even better result. That's always fun, making almost perfect pictures even better!

PineappleQc Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 well, yes, that's why I said tweak it or something :-P Quote "Ah, i love it when huge pineapples try to take over the world, it makes me sentimental :')" -Stephan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedHONDA Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 @Sozo: I actually have 3 dA users that I don't know watching me right now. I believe 2 of them were caused by my cursor pack.

Sozo Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I wasn't insulting them, in fact I like them. I just thought that your phrasing was funny, it made you sound like cursors were your last resort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedHONDA Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 It was either that or making random signatures Quote "The greatest thing about the Internet is that you can write anything you want and give it a false source." ~Ezra Pound twtr | dA | tmblr | yt | fb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drakaan Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Soldier_Dude05so do we need to start up the picture add on game again. that always got me out of a slump! You know, pdnfans (link in sig) has a whole section for that...not that there are many people playing with it yet. BarkBark, Someone2016, Ben_R_R, and a few others got in on our inaugural Tag Team Image Editing thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
