Image Making thread

[Deadly_Nightshade]

Can I get one too Deadly? But please make it different than Krook's.

 

Sure.

[Krookie]

So...When can we expect them?

[Deadly_Nightshade]

I should be able to make them tomorrow night or Tuesday, I just need to double check the Latin with a friend who knows more about it then I do.

[Krookie]

Looking forward to the finish product

[Deadly_Nightshade]

Any of you know of a good program to help you draw geometry for use in 2d art. Photoshop will let you draw a straight line by holding down a button, thats about it. Illustrator is not much better, way too spetialised to be any good for my needs.

 

I need something that will let me create tubes ovals, lines, perspectives etc, without being an engineering tool that takes 5 years to learn to operate.

Just to be pre-emptive - they're joking, of course.

 

We really need to take Kaftan's sig and give it to about ten other people.

thanks, tigrane. I was about to start yelling at them.

Umm... my comp had a little blackout the other day, and I lost my progress. I'll start it tomorrow

Illustrator is no good? I suppose I must recommend Paint then. I don't know if Corel Draw is still available, but that used to be pretty good? I could recommend Aura/Mirage/TVPaint (different versions of the same program) but... I'm not going to, because that program is complete ****.

Flash.

 

Do you use Flash? I'm getting pretty good with it

[Deadly_Nightshade]

Here's one, if nether of you like it I'll try again.

[Krookie]

Thanks bud, you rule.

[Gorgon]

Illustrator is bad because there are only 3 geometry tools, they expect you to build the rest with an impossible little widget

that manipulates anchor points. How this became the choice in design I will never understand.

 

Friend of mine tried to wow me by demoing some of the stuff it can do. I can see how it might be useful if you were designing logos or a can of tomatoes, other than that, not really.

 

I have no experience of flash whatsoever, but I take it it can't work with photoshop layers, you really need photoshop for the coloring. Painter (the successor to corel paint) does a real mess of layers, individual brushes will start their own layers and you will have to sort them out when you are deleting part of your work, 80% of the brushes are gimmics you would never use in a million years except for a laugh, and they clutter up the palettes and the useful ones.

Dang, Krookie got it first. It's great though, maybe I'll just copy him. Without the lame dinosaurs

[Deadly_Nightshade]

How's this?

[Hurlshort]

Perfect! So what does it mean?

[Deadly_Nightshade]

Rough translation: Ballroom dancing or Ballroom Dancer.

Not if I can help it (though I really enjoyed it about three years ago), the move to 3D animation totally killed any desire to use flash. Mostly because I find it so restrictive without the third dimension.

 

Having said that, now that i've got a tablet, this could change.

[BIOShazard]

I present the sig I was requested to do.

I haven't touched my Photoshop since January, so this is the best I could do right now. I can still show you guys my best work if you still think I'm-a newb 'shopper. And the tut I mainly used has been removed from the 'shack, so until I can find a new one on the 'bucket, thats the best I can do ATM(At The Moment for you newbs )

EDIT: about the little dents.. um... it was my first shot at rendering (Tho I think I gots it... maybe if I can make straight lines )
