user24 0 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 thanks, I liked the idea of incorporating the phpBB theme with both transparency and the little bar that automatically appears. One more update to the sig and now I'm off to bed Link to post Share on other sites

Bob 4 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 My Sig: Now you know why "Bob". All hand-made, no copy paste stuff (I mean, from another picture). If it's too yellow, say it, I will lower the value a bit. Edit -> Inspiration: http://tinyurl.com/2do5m6 No. Way. I've just seen Bob.

user24 0 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 my first avatar: I want to rotate it slightly but that produces beading: any idea how to get around that? I'm sure I saw a post about it earlier but I can't find it now. Link to post Share on other sites
MadJik 967 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Try to rotate the layer instead the picture... My DeviantArt | My Pictorium | My Plugins | Donate via Paypal Link to post Share on other sites
user24 0 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 not quite with you - I flatten it and then Ctrl-Shift-Z - what should I be doing? there is plenty of transparent space around the image. I like your abstract stuff. You could make a nice stained glass window effect. Link to post Share on other sites
user24 0 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 I used the oblique plugin to do this one but it's still a little beady even on the highest anti-aliasing.... EDIT: sharpened EDIT2: sharpened, with a blur on the edges sorry for the multiple edits. Link to post Share on other sites

MadJik 967 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 With oblique your image is a bit reduced... My DeviantArt | My Pictorium | My Plugins | Donate via Paypal Link to post Share on other sites
user24 0 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 yeah, it's not ideal I guess you could make it larger than required, rotate and then resize. I haven't tried but it might work. Here's another (final) play, but I don't think it's as nice as the simpler one I'm using: Link to post Share on other sites
usedHONDA 4 Posted February 8, 2007 Report 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).

user24 0 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 good idea. I set the transparency of the sharpened, blurred one to 127 and put it on top of the oblique one and I'm happy enough with it now! thanks for the suggestion! Link to post Share on other sites

BoltBait 3,233 Posted February 8, 2007 Report 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 4 Posted February 10, 2007 Report 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! My Gallery Link to post Share on other sites
jake2k 7 Posted February 10, 2007 Report 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 post Share on other sites
The_Lionhearted 4 Posted February 10, 2007 Report 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 post Share on other sites
