My work of art

[redrackham]

This is my first attempt on post pict in this forum.
Please let me know if i place this in the wrong section.

Anyway....here i go.


I don't think this pict is good.....but it will be sufficient as the starter.

Umm.....btw.....please someone tell me how to post pict in gallery.

[CaptBrenden]

humm its been a while since I created my user gallery... let me see...

[redrackham]

Please let me know if you have remembered it.
Thanks.

[CaptBrenden]

have you tried just selecting the upload file option and selecting personal gallery from the dropdown menu on where you want to put it?

[redrackham]

umm....i guess i haven't try it .....
Aw...crap ! The rental bill is at my limit.....
Thanks for the advice...i'll try to do it later.

[SleepyD]

ooooh, coolz

we need to get you some lineart cleaning skillz. ^^


....unless you're going for a sketchy look, well...

[redrackham]

@sleepyD
Yeah....this is an old pict
But up till now...i still lack the skill to clean the line....

Or....maybe some one have some suggestion how i should do that or tell me where can i learn it (at some website maybe...)

[Xyanide]

easy!
-first sketch with pencil
-trace with ballpoint
-use eraser leaving the ballpoint
-scan
-vector/colour it in macromedia flash
-shade/highlight it in photoshop

presto! you have yourselves a quality artwork

And that's not too shabby for a first attempt, though i think the dragonhead thing all up front should be more in the back

[CaptBrenden]

eww.. ballpoint >_<  and if your gonna ink on the computer, skip the ink stage..use the sketch as your base.  But personaly Id rather just do the whole thing in photoshop.... like so:



50billions minutes in photoshop well spent

I was wondering when you'd show that picture again....  Ã,¬vÃ,¬'

BTW, ta hell with vector/coloring in Macromedia Flash.

Inkscape works 10x better on multiple platforms, and at only a fraction of the cost (="free").

Examples of what can be done in Inkscape or available at redrackham-san's request.  -v-

Added after 1 minutes:

HOLY $@#%!!  version 0.45 is OUT!!!  ^V^

oooh hoho this coming from you, the biggest shameless promoter of them all!!  Youve gotten a wee better, but it used to be that you would post the same picture in like 6 threads to make sure everyone saw it, and then if someone that has been gone a while shows up youd post it again in what every thread they posted in  Hush you or its into the frying pan, I havent had dinner yet.

[C-Chan]

Ahhh, put a sock in it.  I know you're blowing things WAY outta proportion cause it wasn't 3.1-sama that I drew.  `v'

Betcha if I drew her with nothing but her ribbons like you wanted to, you yourself would volunteer to smuggle her into Wakachan and Niijura!  ^v^

Now if you'll excuse me, I've get new vector blurring effects to play around with.... -v-

Mmmm,... blurring....  -.-

[redrackham]

Umm....i got newest pict.....lately i have some trick to smoothen the line of my pict, still using Photoshop.
This is the result :


It's still not a perfect one....i really like the effect on captbrenden's pict.

Btw...i'm uploading my first OS-tan pict....it's still black and white...
I'll coloring it later.

[C-Chan]

The first pic has a very gorgeous and pleasant effect on the eye.  ^___^

Second pic is downright hilarious -- I'm itching to see the colored version.  ^v^

BTW, not sure if you personally work with any vector tools, but here's my last pic to show you what can be done with Inkscape in case you want a fast way to clean lines:

Though personally, /Cchan thinks your lines are fine.  -v-

looks good indeed, the ripples in the dress arn't quite right in the first one but I didn't notice at first glance...but the hair is stubby it looks a bit strange

2nd picture is great!
