  1. The Full Lemming story as told by Wiki

    Acording to Wiki its all myths and misconceptions but its still freaking helerious
  2. You've gotta be pretty proud that you managed to make a chicken man look badarse and eliminate the knee-jerk reaction to laugh at he's name for fear of talsorian chicken blades busting out of the moniter. Kudo's a plenty.

    There are A3 size scanners available on ebay for less than 150$ which is awesome. Depends on what quality you need. If you've got actual great-quality inked pieces that you have a large number of, save up and buy a big scanner.

    Poser figures are usually found on forums, made by fans, and sometimes are quite expensive, that's some of the downside of the program. All the really "great" poser accessories - which include animals, skins, clothing, different models, etc - those cost extra and are not made by the original company.

    Poser was originally meant as exactly what it says it is: a maquette program that artists could use to model from, without having a real person or one of those odd little wooden doll things. It took off on its own, but remember one extremely important thing:

    POST PRODUCTION.

    Poser is *not* a fully functional "ooh look at the pretty landscape with figures" program. It has serious lighting flaws in older versions (corrected mostly in the newer ones, but still you can always tell a poser image by its lighting quality) but also in joints, angles of clothing drapery and the like. without proper post-production and alteration, smoothing and such, everything will still look just like Poser...

    Ive heard mixed reviews on the cheaper a3 scanners, so im looking to get a better one. im doing alright with my camera for a while i just cant scan it to a massive size (deffinetly large enough though) ive started doing the inking on a different board with a light box now and its made a world of difference.

    as for poser ill deffinetly consider giving that a look into cause that kind of thing could become invaluable for posing.
  4. My major powers are on liberty but I have a couple on pinacle aswell

    I use paint shop pro 8 which is pretty far short of industry standard but like mentioned above, this software can be pretty expensive. so i make do with what i have

    Depending on what you want to use it for PSP 8 is ideal for most web-based artwork. It's an easily used, extremely inexpensive program - especially considering Photoshop can run upwards of 600$ you can find a copy of PSP 8 on ebay for about 20-30$.

    However, it - and photoshop and other programs which you generally scan and import images to alter/color - relies upon your own ability to draw and create outside the program. It can work with a tablet, though I suspect photoshop does that better.

    In other words, Poser works if you don't draw particularly well or have less ability to scan things; photoshop or paintshop will both work to help modify the renderings. Manga Studio is apparently pretty good, a friend of mine is using it to show off a comic he's doing in poser as well, and it looks really nice.

    my main problem is scanning. I dont have a scanner large enough to scan comic boards which is a kick to the teathe.
    so i have to take pictures with my digital camera and smooth it out, ive downloaded the demo to poser after reading this post but they dont give you alot to work with in the way of models.

    does the full version come with models?
