Were the red areas done with the cloud effect? I've been trying to do a "rusty metal" in PDN and this looks like it might do the trick for me.

Yes, I used the cloud effect over a dark red linear gradient with color burn (if I recall correctly) layer mode. And then a bunch of other stuff.

Wow, that looks great! Even better than my sig :x. However, it's a tad too big to be used as your sig. aguba.deviantart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pyrochild Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Expiration, that is very nice looking, however the maximum width for a sig is 500 pixels; yours is 550. mustang maverick, who is that? is it you? nice cutout. could do with a bit more touching up, but still nice. aguba, update your sig; now Bob and I quote each other as well :wink: ambigram signature by Kemaru [i write plugins and stuff] If you like a post, upvote it!

ShimmeryDaze Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I love Paint.NET! I forget how long I've had it, but I don't even miss Photoshop. Okay, maybe a little, but mostly because I haven't learned all of the dot net tricks yet. I tend to stick to the same techniques. But I've been branching out from pixel graphics and wanted to show the results. This was a pencil sketch that I scanned into my computer. I colored it using Paint.NET. I do it the lazy way. I separate the different color sections (hair, skin, clothes, flower parts) into their own layers, create a new layer, fill it with whatever color I want that part to be and then mess with the Blending Mode, hue/saturation, and brightness/contrast until I have what I like. Pencil sketches tend to be pretty light, so to get that inky look, I start out by duplicating the sketch, and using the Multiply blending mode on the top layer. It works a lot better than messing with brightness/contrast. To get her tattoos to have that rainbow effect, I made a layer and filled it with different colors. Then I magic wanded the body and deleted the rest. The blue/purple skin was on a different layer, so all I did was erase the parts where the tattoo was, and the rainbow peeked through where I erased. Similar technique for the wings. A nice, simple way to add texture to the color is to make a layer and use the cloud effect with two similar colors before messing with the blending mode. I did that for the flower petals and the pollen thingy. I really like Overlay, Additive, and Multiply for this technique, but it depends on what you're going for. The first time I used this technique, the results were a little crude, but with practice, I ended up with this. I really like it. I've seen people mentioning plug-ins, so I'll have to check those out. Take care! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang maverick Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 @ShimmeryDaze Your technique seems to be working for you. Great work! And yes do indeed check out the plugins. They are like tools to a toolbox! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
