im pretty sure im using the pen tool if you whant i could send you the PSD to prove it. i tried cleaning the image up a bit.. is this better? i think im going to try and shade it.. ^there you go Venomai, i sort of drew it and used pen tool over it feel free to use it if you whant.. yeah the oroginal idea of the character was to show of his collection of cool looking items but i couldnt execute that well enough to work. im pretty sure i'd end up messing the whole thing up when i get to the background, so i needed a new idea. thanks for the c.c :D

hehe Terley you dont have to wait its not like im publishing it :P muahaha :P i think ill do your idea Terley :D actually ive already made a few sketches for the castle.. all pretty bad.. uh altkill uhm lets see a clan that pk's a bit.. battles a bit.. funny events-thingys a bit and well with nice people.. serieusly im going to forbid that macho clan stuff :shock: gee ^i put allot of thought in that :P well the idea is to put a more artistic thingy in those rs battles.. moste clans just pile people, i think you have to do it true better orginastion like in the ancient wars.. like real good looking and good working strategys. level 70/80+ btw... uhm and my first Vector.. :shock: ARGH! no im actually posting it i any c/c on this O.o i really have to make it better.

ah that gave me a good idea, thank you.

well i wasnt suppose to publish idea to anyone but.. here goes anyway... hehe i editted this out O.o im bad aint i :P but well the point is one of those projects.. im making sigs for a clan, Virgulence its a clan im building up myself well im going to start recruiting pretty soon. the idea for the sigs is to represent a group in the clan like Warriors-Section, Ranger-Section.. etcetra... which will be free to use for high ranks inside the clan. well i made this for the Warrior-Section. now the line-art and shading on the char is all good and well, but im blank on backgrounds and isnt a grey one to boring.

i was expecting TheJeppoz to have opend a sig shop :(

no, just no. the sizes are fine right now actually i think these are the best size limits in all rs related forums.

well the circle's got a pretty good base but the dark colors around it are pretty bad.. you did highlight very-very-very good tho "insert clapping emoticon here" look thats how its supossed to be (sorry for my mess-ness) to who are you directing that line-art thingy?

use a black font and white background. The Bernini Mystery, page 35 has a ambigram saying Inumiali or something like that.. ill scan it in for you when i get back from school.

ahh Dan Brown had some interesting ambigram's in the book he wrote before The DaVinci Code. tho his where better.. simplicity all the way.. in containment of ambigrams.

great alternative if your print-screen select button doesnt work.

pretty good so far.. rock paper scissors would be cool

No your just having some beginners trouble it happend to the best of us. hell if i showed you my first work i think you might even get noxious. try to copy the shading on this sphere. play around with the colors and depth.. and ooh high lights :P ' keep trying till you get some pretty good results.. if you ask me this is the fastest way to getting good. as you'll build up a feel for depth and shape the moste important things in shading. and if you do some extra color practice.. you might even get good at color schemes.

Altkill - the high lights are off, remember what im about to tell you. -High lights will never appear upon the side of the line-art unless the light source is in some angle behind it between the 160 degrees and 200 degrees. -The strength of the high-lights are caused by the severeness of the lightsource and the distance of the lightsource. no try to make the blist more like a single color (as in yellow blue or perhaps white) and shading a bit from there and make it light! As for shapes, could you try shading a ball, try single colored at first and shading perhaps from there. and if your really looking to improved and you get good enough at shading that ball THEN try a multi-tone ball. you might think.. "a ball? what the hell? what use could that bring??" well ill tell you the sphere (ball) is the basic shape for all shapes we find and not only the human body but many more objects. with knowledge of this and lightsources you could master shading. Venomai- More shades isnt actually necesarry to prevent the blockyness (ill make an example of that later) Ausseh - try making the shades fit the shape. and the tree outside looks like some random wrinkles. try putting some leafy shape into it (its very intimidating to try..) more depth in the water im talking pure white tones here.

not trying to be one of those critisc here.. but the line-art on the mage is bad... no joke here its bad every single bit of proportion is off and its created in a style you and me both hate.. and i think if that if you think hard you know what im talking about. The arms are to small in comparison to the body heck one is even bigger then the other. Thers no shoulder on him its all back to basic. His head is way to small and in an impossible angle at that pose.. supersize the head about 3/5 times and you might get close (same for the warrior on this one) Hekk even the bottems look weird there all up his navel, that could cause a severe tommy ache plus his robes are to tight. as for the warrior guy he has no shoulders.. you forget to cover the side ways of the shoulders and didnt put them in. "it" has no crotch. His shoulders are up way to much and he doesnt have a neck.. a very odd body. His chest plating doesnt look like its giving allot of protection. Totally not digging dithering. perhaps make the linerart match the shading (mage) lightsource is off.

Feel free to add me on msn or something or pm me if you need help. i never mind an extra student. however dont be surprised if my answer by pm is delayed a day.. im not on the comp to much.. however msn pretty much always on (not behind it but its on anyway :P, my real life friends always ask if im there first instead of hey) But TJ is a good choice as mentor if you ask me, i pretty much learned allot by listening to TJ and DH's C/C on stuff and putting it into practice.

your style doesnt take a long time to do so i see no reason why not. well good luck with it anyway,

i only know the accoustic version, not a eric clapton fan.

wont work unless you suffer insomnia. and people dont go insane from 72 hours without sleep.. they go psychotic. uhm something you dont know.. uhh ive always been faithfull in my relationships and im to naive towards girls. :? :| congratulations on becomming a dad :D i'd want to be atleast 20 (max 23) to get my first kid, but i guess i would have done the same in your position. good luck with it :D

these songs you definitly have to hear in your life like them or not you should. Eric Clapton- Layla Muse - Stockholm Syndrome. Pink Floyd - Wish you were here Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under The Bridge R.E.M - Everybody Hurts John Legend - Ordinary People Bob Marley - Rat Race but these you definitly have to hear.. Muse - Citizin Erased < brilliant song real emotion in it. Jimi Hendrix - Little Wing < definitly a must hearm, brilliant song. (surprised it isnt on any other lists yet) very inspiring Jimi Hendrix - Castles made of sand - very very very inspiring. Jimi Hendrix (yes again) - All along the watchtower. - very nice O.o Led Zep. - Stairway to Heaven (we all know its a brilliant song) im a musician and know my music and i really think you have to hear those songs even if you like it actually i dont think allot of people will like All Along the watchtower but its pretty much one of origin of nowaday !good! rock music. Nirvana might have been a good band (im a fan) but i dont think there in the must hear section.

who the hell is this The Used everybodys on about? nvm i listend to the music and dont like it.

the key to it is practice.

you pixel over a drawing thus creating a pixel, everthing is still made pixel by pixel. just my 3p :P

some of the professional pixel artists sketch first why shouldnt we?

well atleast get some 3D shape in it :lol: Shaunri its ok with the high lights and all however because theres such a intense lightsource right next to him.. it should get a little more countrast and then its fine. Venomai i can see the brushing there (or transparant pixel blok :P ) but thats ok. im loving it all three of them.. not sure how to c/c them because wel.. i could call them pretty close to perfect. the "underpants like part" is shaded incorrect the high light should be a dark shade instead because the arm is sort of blocking the capability of that high-light and its t of far off to be the main cast shadow.. however.. its just a minor flaw. the only weak-points in this sig (dont get me wrong) are the road and the sky. the sky is pretty grey and lifless. the lightest point of a sky is always at the bottem.. and then it turns into a nice cloudy color blue. or just very dark grey/blue the road goes from wide to thin to rapidly it should go a bit more gradually (im talking about that very thin part at the mountain) o and brilliant use of multiple lightsources.

i never seen this page.. (page two..) shame on me good idea i think we'll use that idea.. and Godslayer i think it would be a good idea to let liquid judge no offense to all but he seems like the moste unbiased person on this forum. if godslayer accepts this then we shall have completed the Three way list. -The Jepozz/ the revenant :wink: -Teenageloser -Fox Red/Liquid morph and uhm ive just got a new idea for the windows (with the characters on it) im going to let all three be the three judges (woot) so can i have character descriptions (sorry one of you will have to be covered behind my char :( ) o and oilertay ill put you in there somewhere i promise o and little progress shot to keep godslayer satisfyed
