Artwork for All - challenges, graphics, tutorials

[Ikorni]

ladygris, glad you found it!

Decided to try something completely un-serious, obviously not for the week's challenge. I saw a really beautiful cat on my last proper vacation (if you can't already guess I'm quite a cat fan) and thought that cute cat might warrant some attention.

I love the AT sig and the kitty art is fantastic!!!

Ikorni, gorgeous cat sig! Would green you if I could.

Do you mind sharing textures/stock/whatever? *bats eyes*

[Ikorni]

Ladygris, well actually, I make textures on my own sometimes (I made those for the tutorial so I wouldn't have to worry about copyright etc), and the cat art textures are actually my photos! Photoshop did the rest of the colouring!

When I get lazy and need textures in a hurry, I typically do a google image search for stock textures that suit the image. My search term is "Free stock textures". Incredibly original.

Sorry if this is no help!

This actually got me thinking...I'm just going to recommend some free textures sites so we'll all have an easier time of it.

Maybe someone can start a list of free art resources... (Hint: Meredithe5? You've got tons of experience there)

We have one! Our big list which has all the challenges and tuts is also for resources I'll add these.

Yet more takes on my tut! Wow! Don't forget to send them to me. You have just under 24 hours.

Just thought some of you might be interested... Art thread here.



Hello all Ben Browder fans! I hope you'll all join me in celebrating Ben's 50th birthday by making art or videos. There will be no winners or losers in this thread, all art featuring Ben is welcome. I hope that by the time Ben's birthday rolls around on December 11, this thread will be full of wonderful art for all of us to admire.

However, this is not meant to be another BB picspam thread, that's why I put challenge on the banner. Have fun, I know I will!

I do understand completely.

Another take on josi's tut....

And my take on Ikorni's tut....

And a wallie for my NaNo project, in which Jeremy Renner "plays" ex-FBI agent Cade Williams (in my head, at least)......

Thank you. It took well over a week to get that wallie done because I kept getting stuck.

Beautiful art LG

Great arties everyone!!!

I really like it!

Thanks!

RiG, I really like yours, although the one little bit of blue in the whole sig stands out rather a lot...

I have no idea how that happened! Another reason I wasn't thrilled with the sig.

ladygris, glad you found it!

OMG! Love it! My cat is all grey like that one!


Okay, PB is all different now. Don't like it!

[Ikorni]

How sweet, RiG!

and Ladygris, wow - love that take on the tut!
