Artwork for All - challenges, graphics, tutorials

[Oma-1]

*rushes in exceptionally late*

How fantastic is our new thread? I gave up with the mq cos it would have been 3 pages long lol, suffice it to say, I LOVE everyones artwork! I've seen lots to inspire my severely flagging mojo!

Love this week's challenge too, I hope I get time to make something new, I think that would be quicker than trying to choose from stuff I've already made

It's great to see so many new faces, I'm looking forward to getting to know you, and fab to see some old faces again!

Nice to meet you Oma! And I just have to say that I love your sig/avi combo!

Here's my first entry into the challenge:



I'll probably send the PM Thursday night or Friday morning, in case I get inspired to do more than one.

That was just a gray fill at 50 percent opacity and the colors of the writing taken from Joe's eyes...

Welcome to the thread Oma, we were hoping you'd eventually find the time to pop in Glad to hear we've inspired your mojo too - it's been away far too long

WOW! Those are all awesome.

Jumble asked the tut for the True Blood sigs and I'll try ...it's for Photoshop... I based on the tut from Luciana on this site but have to register to see. I used her House pic and Curtain. From google: Eric, Face and Eric/Sookie

I did two sig in one psd...

For the two sig:
Open canvas and fill with black. Now take the house pic and move around until you happy. The same for the curtain pic but change to B&W and set to soft light 100%.


For the first sig:

Take the Eric pic adjusted the brightness/contrast and size and duplicate the layer. The first layer change to B&W and the second erase everything except the hair. Used Selective color and add more yellow contrast to the hair.


For the second sig:
http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/...trueblood2.jpg
Take pic Eric/Sookie adjusted brightness/contrast and size.
Next the face. Adjust the size and move around until you happy and duplicate the layer. The first layer change to B&W and the second erase everything except mouth. Set the second layer to soft light 70%

For the font I used a dripping marker and vampiress

Yay! Bookmarking this one for later.

OK, Jumble, I tried that tut. Some of those steps don't exist in Gimp, that I know of, but here's what I made for poor little Maximus...

I like how the pic of Joe and Max turned out. I'll have to try that again.

Turned out great!

*sigh* The reason I don't usually follow tuts is cuz they never turn out the way I think they should.

I might have to take the pic on the left off, cuz it's hard to see the icons over top of NF's yummy yumminess...

I think it turned out great. You have a nice subject as well.
