Nonono, I didnt mean it like that, I ment they could learn from the skill builders, the activities. The tips that are given.. and they can see what other people did with the tips, how they used them.

Yes, but although its a good idea, I dont think there are alot of people here that have actually made tutorials themselves, so it wouldnt be of much use. There could be however a post, sort of like a storage one, with all the previous skill builders, and outcomes of the contests. This way, people who missed some, can still learn from them, by studying them.

Thanks Cingular :) The idea was to use mainly free programs, or programs with at least free trails, and show people what they can actually do with it, using the right methods. What you said about the ratings and argues about it, thats a good point there. I think comments and helpful critique should be given instead of ratings. Sometimes people will have to face it that they are not 'teh uber best' at a program, and can learn more then they expected. I think the method you discribed of trying the idea out for a month or so, and let everyone vote. This would be a great way to define if its useful, and if people liked it :) Thanks for the support and good post :) __-HI-__ As I explained in the above sentence, the focus should be laid on free programs, and programs with free trails. Ofcourse there will be (if this plan comes in action) Photoshop based ones, as I explained before, because its jsut the biggest digital imaging program of this moment, and to get really good, it is neccesary (sp?) to use it.

Thats true, but the thing is the hosts should try to make people get used to alot of different sorts of programs. Most of the time free programs, as Terragen, Open Canvas, and that sort of programs. There however should also be skill builders for programs as photoshop, and even though people who do not own it, can't enter, its one of the biggest and most useful programs to use, so it would be logical to teach people how to work with it. Right? ;)

Well, I came up with this idea about a week ago, and sent it to ForsakenMage. I havent had a reply yet, but Im sure it will come. Id like some input from the media board itself about this idea. That was pretty much the pm I sent ForsakenMage.. Any additions, thoughts, comments, or perhaps discussions about it are appreciated :)

Woah, long time no see subdivi :P Seems like another old artist came to pay us a visit again.. Im Uncoverd btw ;) Oh, and not to go too off-topic, Brammy, As advised, get rid of the planet, remake it.. Take the things azvi said into good consideration, they are well said words..

Oh sure, you made it pixel by pixel, explain to me then why do you have such sloppy black lines eh?

Yes, as said, the 400k each wouldnt be made easily with those sigs.. Here are some pointers: Pick a lightsource, and shade accordingly to it. Look at the rocks with the arrow in it. They seem to have shades at the edges, but only there.. There is no depth in the rocks.. And rocks odnt have tiny lines in them, with a small shadow behind it. Take a look at some pictures of rock formations, they usually have large parts of shadow on them. You could also detail the grass a bit more.. Just give it some texture. It could use a bit of background detail, as it looks pretty much like an empty world, add some tree's, dirt, things, just dont make it stand out too much, as its the background, and the focus here lies on the rocks.. Well, jsut think about it, study some pictures of real life outdoor scenes, and try to rework it, eprhaps Javeline will buy it then..

I remember that drawing.. Werent you Smork? Not sure, but I think that was it.. Nice drawing btw :P

Ah, like that, Doh >.< I misread what you said I guess :oops:

Yeah, I wasnt too sure about his back, so Ill probably edit it.. Thanks for the comments everyone :)

There ya go, my rsn is Uncoverd.

Alright, will do. Woo, I won :D

Added latest, going to sleep now :P The hind legs dont look too good, theyre a bit chubby right now, will fix it up when I come to shading that part.. Any more comments on it so far?

Thanks :) Im almost to the part where I will add the rest of his body, but right now, I wanna fiddle around with this part a bit longer ;)

Im not having you bid against him, im you are bidding against fatherdeath.. And its all solved now, Peter's is first, then yours..Peter has bid 1mill..

Ok, I got a neat idea, so I implemented it :P He's gonna have like half skulls kindof melted in him, I thought it would be a nice add on :P *see top post for the update*

Actually, I have started it.. He was in first place, for a while, so I had the time to start it.. I have most of the linework done.. Did you get my pm peter?

Looks nice so far ran, the dragon could use a bit more detail, as it is one of the main things in the sig. I recon the dragons in the sky could use a bit more work, define their forms a bit better. Going good so far :) Anyone else want to show what they have so far?

If you feel ok with posting what you got so far, you should definitly do it.. The worse it is, the more I can help, right? :wink:

Thanks :) Theres what i have so far ;) Oh, and more contrast is coming soon :P

Guys guys, dont worry about the outline.. Its a work in progress.. Its not finished.. The outline will be replaced.. I know the outline looks bad :P operationfl, well, its a dragon head.. *edit* For you guys, here it is with a better outline :P

Well, I wanted to do something different again, so I decided to check out the so called 'brush pixel', So, I basicly did the outline with a 1 pix black pencil, and coloured it in with a solid colour.. I began to brush some highlights with a bit lighter and slightly purple colour.. Added a bit of texture.. Then I did the shadowing plus dark texture.. The horns look not too good right now, Ill do something with that :P I dunno if im gonna keep it this way, or add a whole dragon..
