Well I'm in the same boat as you... Joe noted me that I have one of these coming but I have no idea who it's from either.
Thanks in advance whomever you are.

lol be my guest... anyone can do craptions. In fact I'm kind of surprised we don't have a craption thread (unless we do and it's on another part of the forums that I've missed).

I 2nd the showing of pencilwork.

The biggest contest I can remember recently was co-sponsored by Coh/AMD's Ruby and it was screenshot based... of course it was also abysmally run and several of the chosen finalists were in violation of the contest rules set forth
...but hey anyone could participate and it was not limited to artists at least.
-
Thanks VexXxa.
Hmmm... does this lab coat make my butt look fat?
-
POUNCE! Hahaha.
Well done Jordan that got a good laugh outta me.
Oh and welcome back from your hibernation.

That came out great Znergy.
If you are looking for more I would love to see what you could do for my goddess Xllusya.

I don't think the guy's gonna make it that far if he has to rely so much on heroin to get the job done.
P.S. not a fan of Sacrosanct personally... it has heavy religious (read nonsensical) implications.

She was in Firefly and if you haven't watched that we're not friends anymore until you fix that.

1)Right off the bat Steampunk/Jaeger Artoo is pure awesome.
2)It's already a meme isn't it?
3)What Foo said about meme's evolving over time through natural selection is true and doubly appropo since we have
an evolutionary biologist (Richard Dawkins) to thank for the word Meme in the first place.

Wassy's taking any requests. It just so happens though that most people haven't been requesting CoH stuff or stuff of their own characters, which is kinda cool.
Requests can be submitted here or on the group. You don't have to join the group but people who watch the group will get preferential treatment in terms of seeing their requests fulfilled.
Requested here and on DA and I've been watching since the get go.
*awaits next Wednesday's sketch whatever it may be*

Wassy are specifically looking for non-Coh stuffz to draw or has it just worked out that way thusfar?
If so I'd love to see a scene from Firefly... anything with Kaylee or Yo/Saff/Bridge would be sweet.
Posted it in the Wassy Wednesday folder too.

Quote:I like what y... the anonymous artist did with the last two Caemgen and Alpha came out good but the Fenian one doesn't really have anything about it that says Fenian. Nothing particularly feminine either it could be her or it could be some wizard with a hood up or a ninja, ya know? Needs something a bit more... maybe the cloverleafs around the hood trim or a female looking profile?Originally Posted by Caemgen
My anonymous artist was flipping through some of the old threads and remembered Suichiro's Minimal Effort thread and felt left out they didn't participate back when it was active... But they finally have corrected that!
(I would have posted them in that thread for my Anonymous Artist but thread necrotism is bad and the Mod's scare me...)

A few of the moonbeams are a bit skewed but the overall effect is really exceptional. It has great atmosphere and the fog really adds depth and volume to the piece. The beam coming through the wing is an awesome touch too. Eddy is really getting skilled at capturing a mood with his use of light and color. Excellent collab.Quote:Originally Posted by Caemgen
Hmmmm, what could possibly make these lines even cooler????
Oh yeah!! Some Eddy Swan color magic, of course!!!!

Congratz to the winners and thanks Caemgen for another cool contest, you Rock!

Why do you want to limit yourself to have it act like a pencil? The strength of an application like Photoshop is that it's basically all traditional media tools wrapped up in one. Mastery of the brushes, filters, etc. basically boils down understanding how to create a mark that suits your needs. A fairly common block to people trying to learn digital art is they take a tool that is very flexible and has all kinds of parameters that can be controlled--and they try to reduce it to something limited, like a pencil.
Part of learning a whole new medium is learning a new way of thinking about how you create and that may be where I am coming up short. Familiarity I guess is what it comes down to, I would like to pick up new things to add my existing skill set but I don't want to give up what I am currently capable of. Being able to get a PS brush to behave like a tool I've used all my life would make me less inclined to want to draw and scan things the way I'm doing now.
Fast forward to a time where I can create the effect I want digitally and this is won't matter... it's really just to help make a smoother transition, to makes things better now in the short term. Plus I'm a fan of good pencilwork (and/or ink, markers, paint etc) so I just wondered if a reasonable facsimile could be achieved.

Cool action pose and I dig the fiery sword. You say you don't know who commissioned him to do this?

WB Nahzghul, either sounds like fun.

She's on Fire! *hits One With the Shield*

Go go #10!

So it sounds like initially it's an interesting distraction with a great price tag (I too think it needs the ability to import from your gallery and don't see any way of doing so yet). I guess the question is what they plan to add going forward.
PS has had a long time to get to where it is (it's been around 22 years is in it's 20th edition if you include the mac only versions) with each new edition adding more stuff to the mix and that is partly why it's the industry standard... Muro may be something to keep an eye on or it just may be something to burn (those otherwise unused) points on. I'm curious what direction they plan on going with this.
P.S. I have no idea who Secret Orange is (it must be like a secret n' stuffz) but I like them already.
Welcome Orange to the best part of the forums! Btw it's only VexXxa that calls me that. She really likes orange stuff though... like, a lot.
P.P.S. I am happy to see it's not just me that does all the drawing on paper first and scans it in if it needs anything adjusted... I honestly wish there was a tool in PS that behaved like a real pencil but have yet to find one even close. I have heard people talk of custom brushes that come close but not tried any yet... anyone come across one they wouldn't mind sharing?

No winners yet... btw - there are 4 prizes, and thus 4 winning numbers. Don't think I mentioned that yet...
Oh yeah, editing posts! Don't! Least not one with guesses. It can get confusing if you edit a typo and had the winning number but someone posted right after you with the same number....
If you do happen to post right after someone and pick the same number just post again, mention what happened and pick again.
Picked so far:
12 23 54 74 75
We actually didn't have the same number but his post wasn't there when I hit reply but appeared ahead of mine when my post went through and he was only one number away... I was anticipating an Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny over the coolness of #75... but alas he picked 74.
Oh and neither won anyways.

So there's no way to import stuff from your gallery and mark it up? Haven't tried to do that yet myself.
My PS knowledge is pretty limited thusfar so I'm curious to see what some of the more experienced PS users think of it.

You gotta feel the Burn! *covers*

It's ok HQ... I think they fell for it.
Hey maybe I'll get a cool robo-scorpion tail out of this after all.
It was at that moment that Fritz decided
he just wasn't like all the other wolves... it was time.

Okay, j00 asked 4 it'z.
Imp: "We were NOT checking out that other Fire/Rad's butt...
we're just, you know... short."
Hey be thankfull your face is shrouded in darkness Hank, having super glowie eyes ain't all it's cracked up to be ya know...
Sure it's great for intimidatin' the opposition or impressing the cagedancers at the D but have you ever tried going to sleep with these things?!?!
Seriously it's like having a frickin 10,000 lumen night light permanently bolted onto your face.
