usedHONDA Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I used the oblique plugin to do this one I like that one the best (kinda). I think you should combine the first and the last together (using the power of layers).

BoltBait Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I guess you could make it larger than required, rotate and then resize. I haven't tried but it might work. You could also only rotate the inside 'stuff' and draw the outline later.

The_Lionhearted Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Hey all...I'm new to the forum but have been browsing it for about a week...ever since I became addicted to Paint.Net. No joke, I've been up till 3AM the last 5 days playing around with it. Just looking at some of the amazing stuff that people come up with can be pretty intimidating :shock: , especially for someone who's knowledge of image editing was limited to Macromedia Fireworks (good program, but...) and stuff. Layers, what? I almost didn't post anything here, but I thought what the heck, I'm a college student with tons of time and the only way I'll get better is to learn from the experts. So here's my current desktop background (smaller sized) and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for what I could do to improve it? I kinda know how to do stuff, but I struggle with aesthetics. P.S. I think I accidentally broke rule #9 on the forums. Sorry Rick!

jake2k Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 thats pretty cool, i'm guessing you just added the render of the phoenix but if you made it than holy bloody potato thats awsome. The only thing i would suggest is that you lower the amount of glow around the text. Good job ^Click to visit my Flickr Gallery^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lionhearted Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Thanks man...I wish I made the phoenix, but no...I had to make it bigger and cut it out of the black background. I appreciate your suggestion...I'm pretty new and haven't quite mastered the fine art of creating art! My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellfire010 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 The_Lionhearted, that is ... Amazing! I like the way you made it into your sig as well. Speaking of sigs, this is one of my recent ones. Though, I believe it is too big for this forum - and if resized it will loose a lot of its quality. Cut out the character from Soul Calibur III myself: Only problem I had was that part of the blade was covered, so I had to use the clone stamp tool to make the rest. I did an ok job, but it is still a little ... ew. Anyway, I was thinking about adding some stuff into the background of the black/blue part.

The_Lionhearted Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 the phoenix is really great. It's a shame I can't find the original (only this one)... That is the original, except smaller. I had to cut it out and resize it to make it useable. Here's the original: My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadJik Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 I'm impressed by Andrew..(Hellfire010) I also like the 'twisted white/light-purple lezard's skin' (user24). I'm just wondering : what are these numbers linked with? My DeviantArt | My Pictorium | My Plugins | Donate via Paypal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Lionhearted Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 I thought I had seen it before! I personally liked the old one better because of the more glassy feel of the letters...is there a tutorial on how to make text appear like your avatar Madjik? Cause that's a really neat effect..

Picc84 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Your first post, uh... you should have done like a gradient (circle)like, transparent in the middle to show the shape, and black on the outside, so that it wont look as bad, you can keep the cutting, just if you do that, it will soften it out.

Rainshadow Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 A sig i made when I was playing with the Arrows effect I posted duplicate layer, emboss, change layer blending to ovelay Actually, nope. I duplicated layer, and set that blending mode to color burn, (I think) and filled the red in with black, to make black arrows Do not click! Time flies when you're eating a donut.
