I always thought Hydralisks were shorter than Marines. :?

Update!!

Yeah,the position of the girl is odd. I'd love to see this finished. The original is my fav sig ever. Anyways, I think it would be cool to have beams of light coming down from the roof illuminating different sections of the gold and making some areas brighter, others darker as opposed to the almost uniform lighting of the original.

INverted colors make it kinda hard to see detail and the brushing looks like it was only done on one side. The text down the middle blends too much with the BG. Not bad but could do better.

It's ok. I think a bigger variety of color besides purple would do it good.

Simplistic, bad cropping skills (not completely cropped), too small to see and text is bad NTM the bad quality of the screeny.

Started playing StarCraft again and decided to make this: OMG OMG OMG it's done!!!! All I have to do now is add text. I'm putting the URLs of my other progess steps down below. They're in chronological order. Outlines 1 Update1: Outlines of all Protoss Armour Shaded Marine Partially Shaded Shaded Marine Hydralisk Partially Shaded Protoss Skin Shading Hydralisk Partially Shaded 2

Wow. :shock: I am shamed to call myself even an amatuer artist after seeing this. I see no falts. Excellent job.

^^ I got siggied : Anyways, the scanlines ruin IMHO. The render just looks like it's pasted on top of the BG. I like the border but make it transparent when you post to get rid of that ugly white square :wink:.

The brown one has bad tiling. Try making the tranistions between the copied and pasted squares more smooth :?.

The watermarks make it kind of hard to see some stuff but I'll have a go. First off, anatomy. The noses on the faces don't bulge out like real noses, they're just lines. The one in full sara has messed up legs. The right leg (our left) is waaaaay longer than the left leg. This is not the 80's, big hair is out :. All joking aside, the heads seem a bit too large. The feet are ok but placed oddly. The woman on the right has her right foot (our left) placed what looks like almost sideways but the legs comes out of the body in a different direction. I believe that's a feat ony contortionists achieve :wink:. The woman on the right also looks like she's leaning back which would completely put her off balance in real life. Try making her appear more upright. The woman on the left is pretty good but her legs are disproprtionatly sized :?. The items in the room are ok. The phat on the ground is complete junk and looks like a cardboard stand-up. The floorboards go straight out fram the wall on the left making a sliver against the back wall, ruining the effect. No windows is odd but not a fault. The grains on the wood are great and I like the knots you've added. Overall, your biggest problems are anatomy and shading. Give everything a bit more depth and fill out the sig a bit ad it'll look ok. I'd love to see how you improve. :thumbsup:

+1 Here are a few pointers: Use the line tool with a single pixel width to make linework. Shade, and spend more than 15 minutes on a piece.

Ok, sorry if I seem a bit frank, I'm just trying to be objective. The biggest problem is the wall on the left. You tried to use perspective but made the angle it comes out at waaaaaay too steep making the whole room look slanted. The fireplace is wierd because the chimney sticks out of the wall and is stone brick as opposed to the rest of the building. There are no windows The tops on the large sacks labelled mith ore and coal are too open for the viewpoint. The text is really bright and lacks a border which would give it better definition and seperation from the rest of the sig. The amulet on the wal isn't hanging realistically. You did a great job on the hatrack though and the small hats look like they were done well. As you said in the title, shading.

If you're on a Mac and you press apple+ctrl+shift+3 I believe you get a square you can drag around the area

Lol nice idea :lol: Can't say much about the anime though. eeeewwwww, anime

I originally made them to be avatars so I set them at 80x80 :?

I'm not able to vote in the poll for some reason so I tried clearing my cookies as was suggested. Now the text in every post looks like it's been bolded when a load a thread. Can anyone help me on this?

Hey man, I can see you're doing a good job. Here's something I'd love to see a photo manip of though honestly I don't intend on using it. If you want the practice and want to add it to your premades here it is. Kind: sig Style: photo manip Size: Whatever is appropriate Render:http://tiee.ecoed.net/vol/v3/issues/frontier_sets/yellowstone/img/forest_fire%5BHR%5D.jpg Font: Your choice Text: Your choice Subtext: N/A Border Your Choice

All of what I'm going to say is personal preference because the execution looks great (but what do I know? I've never done a photo manip). So don't take offense, just write it off as me being a complete opinionated maniac :wink:. It's a bit too yellowed out for my eye. Maybe try to accent the green in the pic. The motion blur looks crosshatched in some places and I think it would look better if the blur went all in one direction. No offense but the star just irratates me. It seems completely random and suggests anime (god I hate anime :wall:). I guess just now I've broken the Brass Rule; "Opinions are like toothbrushes, everybody has one, there's no need to share." 8-)

I can't say I like your style...........at all.....in any way, but I'll try to be objective and give you some pointers. First off, the execution is excellent. I don't like the style but I understand the letters took some time and skill to make especially with that nice overlap. The border is good and complements the BG nicely. On the topic of BG, it looks uniform until you look closer and see that it's multiple, similar colors, kudos to you =D>. The blending of colors in the letters is good but looks kind of granular in some places. using a greater variety of colors should help this. The outside edge of the white area is, frankly, ugly. The bright white colors contrasts too much with the red BG and your eyes are drawn to the white speckles around the edge of the white area and not the words. I'd suggest using a more grey color instead of white. Finally, there's a lot of white space in the loops of the letters. try adding a few speckles of the red BG or 'holes' in the loops to make it ook less empty.

I like the idea of specific places for the bonfire but the monastary and chaos temple (wildy place with the bones) kinda defeats the purpose of it drainging prayer doesn't it? Specific places out of the way like an abandoned building on Karamja or something.

Yeah, I like #2 better. FFX render? Anyways, nice work, keep the goodies coming. :thumbsup:

Like a high alch except with prayer exp? Seems like you'd gain experience really fast so bronze would have to be less than 1 exp each bar used in the weapon/armour to make it rasonable.

if you can make axes with handles i think you should be able to do the same with pickaxes Grrrrr, just what I was going to say. I agree but I think Jagex rationalizes it by saying that mining and smithing are too closely related or that there would be too many picks around. I don't really think the second one is valid though with all the new bronze pick spawns and selling bronze picks in stores.

It's called Dadism and I'd like to see you do something similar as you are obviously more experienced and older than a 6 year old. :wink:
