Shiny

Some new photographs, unfortuanately, none for "Time for a Challenge". I chosen my best, out of my last photography spree (around 130 photos), did a bit of brightness/contrast changing (nothing major, all stuff you can do in a dark room) and here are the results (In no particualar order)! #1 #2 #3 #4 This is the only one which is slightly maniped. #5 #6 I got this kinda of idea from a friend. Challenging the light. Did it in a sunset. #7 #8 #9 #10 I love the whole blurry look. Thanks for looking, and some C/C would be great!

What a good way to end pixelling. A superb result! Nice colours and shading...everything is damn well done. Very nice :D

Looking really good so far. This better win Piccie of the Month. I actually like the red and white triangles. Keep them.

Nadril has said it all :shock: If you want to go for that more cartoony look, try get CorelDRAW. Its like illustrator but easier to use. Heaps of online comic artists use it.

Ah crap!

Now - Onto your birthday.... Oo yay! Congratz for your birthday, remember to always buy a condom, don't get too drunk, but have fun : Really, good thing you managed to squeeze in an 18th birthday before the end of the world :roll:. See my thread about the LHC. :lol: Have you opened your prezzies yet? I don't know if you still do at 18, but if you do, post pics please?

Well....This has been in the news, around the globe for months on end. Here's the low down on what it is: The Large Hadron Collider is a structure, which is 17 miles long, built 300ft underground, under the Franc-Swede Border. It has 2 metre thick walls, and the whole structure has cost 4.4billion pounds. It has been funded by over 85 countries, and many Universities around the world. 8000 Physicists (right word?) have participated in it. It is the worlds largest and highest energy particle accelerator. So that's the general jist of it. It is being launched on September 10, and scientists are unable to really predict what will happen. No one has ever done anything like this before, any no one knows what will happen. They will be trying to find out other things as well. And of course, no one knows what the side-effects will be... Some people have theorized mini-black holes, coming from inside of our planet, and things like that. They have theorized that the machine will produce strangelets, a particle which nothing is really know about Tl;dr: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider - Have fun :roll: So what are your thoughts on this. For me I just say, have a happy Wednesday, the world is being to come to an end 8-)

I guess you can count me in :

Name on signature: Mrshinyredplanet People in signature: A guy firing a gun, at someone, with bullets flying, and a guy matrix dodging them. What people look like: Check out the matrix Background: an urban sprawl, basically a city backdrop Extra: Nope, but thanks a lot :D

I have just made two signatures based on one of my favourite game series of all time: Tekken. You may have seen these characters if you played these games. I chose my two favourite, and best characters and made two tags. C/C would be extremely helpful. #1 This is of Kazuya, my all time favourite. He is really powerful, medium speed and delivers a punch. Constructive criticism of colours flow and anything else you find wrong, and how to improve would be great. #2 Jin. He is the Tekken Icon, and the newer games 3,4,5 revolve around him. I think this is the better signature, but I would like you to tell me. Once again, C/C would be great. ---- First try at fractals - I did these on Apophysis, which I downloaded. I'm planning to make a fractal or 2 as my warm-up before I make a signature on Gimp, so I can get into the mood. There fairly quick to make, and aren't too hard.

I agree with you. I have tried pixelling, and it was really hard. I find it annoying that people will cheat i nthe pixel game, bypass the laws and put ripped images on. It makes it no fun for others. Now I understand this is your first sig, but I didn't rip when I did mine.

It's a she :lol: Funny how people on the internet always assume the opposite is a guy.

I'm pretty sure Uno isn't taking requests.

Or me! Or Little, julius, Soa (but he usually isn't around) or most other gallery regulars. --- OT: All I see is a picture, slapped on a white or black or other colour background, with a C4d just sitting behind. #3 is your best because you have experimented with colour and and smudging. Don't be afraid to branch out to other things like different smudge styles and the like. For tuts, go to deviantart.com. You can also find fonts there, or dafont.com, and brush sets. For renders you to planetrenders.com

Anyways, looking good on the vector so far. Sorry :oops: I don't know much about vectors.

I don't think that is a proper vector. It is saved as .png, which can't do vectors. I zoomed in and it was piixely. Anyway, very good so far. Nice colours and composition. Can't wait for more.

Me too. But great work on it, nevertheless. I really love the texture put into it. Great attention to detail. I was wondering if you have started on mine? If you have Wip picture pl0x?

Take a look. I'm grunge, man. Grunge. Clean is next to nothing.

The new one isn't great. Bit faded. I hope you can sort of "solidify" the colours :pray: But uit is very clean, which is the other thing I don't like, buts thats personal preference.

Gravity works on the basis that the bigger an object, the more force pulling something to that object is. The bigger the object the stronger the force. Every object exerts this force, but for people it is extremely minimal. The earth, for example, has enough force to keep the atmosphere in check and the moon. The sun, has enough gravity to keep all 10 planets in check (they found a new one after Pluto, and I think the de-merited Pluto, but i'm not sure). That is the very basis of it. Of course, take Key Stage 4-5 Physics do get some really funky stuff. Apparently, in theory, gravity can warp time, and light, so if you built a machine which could exert masses of gravity, you could in theory warp time and light. That is supposedly how black holes work. They have such a strong gravity force that, even the light there supposed to produce, doesn't because the gravity is too strong, and...... :-#

1. I find it hard to believe children brought up in rich families are bound to fail when the reach the real world. They have the means for making money, and they've been brought up to get money however they can. If they can't earn an honest living, I'm sure mommy or daddy could get them a high paying job wherever they work. That actually made me realise something. But quite a few of the snobby, rich people who go around bragging, don't actually have a clue on how to make a cent, let alone their parents fortune. In my opinion, it resolves around the parent. They need to teach their child the value of money, and how hard work pays off (quite literally in this sense). If they get a break though, which is more likely to happen if they are an amazing actor, musician, artist or something else. Their the kind of jobs which you can focus less on money, and more on creativity.

I come from an upper middle-class family, and my parent taught me, my two brothers and my sister, the value of money since we were 5. Unluckily though, my big brother (19) hasn't grasped onto that fact, and spends his time buying Ralph Lauren clothes, Music and movies. Good thing he only has a tiddly student lone. I find it annoys me when kids brag about their wealth. They don't often work for it and take it for granted. Then, when they finally stumble out of a spoiled, private drug-ridden school, into the real world, they crash and burn. I'm saving up for a new camera, and my parents won't help me. So I have had to make the money myself. That, I think helps train our minds for what is actually out there.

Added a new version....Changed some smudge options.

A new sprite, I have two versions. I need C/c on this. Enjoy : V1: V2: V3: Made a smoother smudged background, and changed the whole colour 'feel' Some naise C/C would be good.

TBH it isn't really being implemented. No one has updated these points since January..... :lol: SO i wouldn't call it working. I prefer winners of comps to get special prizes, like Underbanners, special titles, special avvys/signatures, packs, da subs and much more... Shame.. Keiphus and I originally had a whole system worked-out, a point formula, a ranking system, underbanners... I don't really think the ranking is really necessary. I think underbanners etc.. for rewards is fine.
