Sorry for not finding this earlier, but I totally forgot about it

gimpshop

It's gimp, but made to look and feel like photoshop, I read about it ages ago, never got a chance to play with it, might be easier to use, not sure. But it's an option.

Don't forget, once you figure out the final size, the actual image will be smaller then the card to account for border and title.

What I usually do is whatever the final size is, I double or triple it and work at that size, and then shrink it when I'm done.

well here's a little update, somebody snuck in the pic!!!!!

little update with a stowaway!

you're more than welcome and I would like to thank everyone for their warm welcome and continued support!

Now I need to do a little more drawing and then I can upload a small update for the group pic!

Gah it's poking time!!!!

Poke poke poke poke

working on a commission! I will be back! I promise!

final poke for poke's sake!

I'll bow to your superior knowledge in this field imagesbyalex , any Suggestions ?

I have no knowledge in this field, I do like big tarot cards, um

3.75"x 5.5" ?

I just did a search for tarot cards and that seems like a nice size.

Another question would be will there be some sort of border for each card? With so many different styles a common border would tie them all together.

The Vertigo Tarot Cards are 3"x 5.5". They do a a common and very simple border and font for the name.

Those are just some suggestions, but you get to make the final decision!

I am the sun...and the m..oh wait, just the Sun!

Oh dimensions for this piece? or aspect ratio, so they all match?

that came out great! Good work and grats to Scarf!

it's looking very cool! worth the wait!

I'll give it a go too! I'm a bit busy but this sounds cool, it just might take awhile though!

Oh that's good, taunt us with art and then makes us wait!

Sweet! Thanks, and in her new outfit too! Thank You so Much!!!

So starts my own art collection! That's two, how many more to catch up to TA? heheheh

I'm sure I can stick his Nemesis Staff somewhere in the group pic!

Welcome Back!

okay I'll stop now..

ah, okay try this, duplicate the sketch layer, then go to images adustment levels, there are three eye droppers, one for white, black and grey, choose the white and click on anywhere on the drawing that is suppose to be white, then fiddle with the levels till you get nice dark and easy to select lines. that should make it easy to select the outline. phew.

or you could try the pen tool if you're good with bezier curves!

hahaha, naw, you can use the magic wand to select the outline, it'll get some of it, but not all, then go to select, select similar and it will get the rest. Then you can make a new layer and with the selection still on color the outline, hitting control H will make the marching ants invisible so you can see what you are doing.

Another way to select would be to magic wand the white area, then select similar and then inverse the selection!

You are doing this in photoshop right? forgot to check!

Sorry guys, working on a commission at the moment and I was playing CoH last night....I should be able to get some more done by the weekend!

looks pretty cool. Dodge and Burn, is not that evil! It's how you use it!

Don't be afraid to color the outline, if it's on a separate layer, you can select it and color the outline with a darker shade of whatever the flat color is.

Can't wait to see more!

I have failed miserably at this, so I might as well throw in the pencil and call it quits...

I was trying to do too much, there I said it are you happy now?

Anyhow when the big group pic gets done, I'll come back here to finish off this one!

Those are coming out great!
