Razy_m8 Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 i'm seein so many people using filters and over brushing these premade brushes so much i swear im starting to see the same ones over and over again, its like almost every combination of filters and burshes possible have been used. so here, I offer you this advice... Be creative, lose the filters. stop using other people images in your work. You will nver get better using premade brushes, images, or filters for that fact... also try not to abuse the photshop stlyes. I can understand 1px stroke or drop shadow (to a certain extent) to make your images look clean but honestly, this is getting out of hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had plenty of posts like this and we don't need anymore. Of course opinions are welcomed but ones that are just redundant and you've seen about, 8,391.251 times is just lame.

teenageloser33 Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 And there's misterxman those you had only 2 words they're actually profound, pixel sigs can become redundant with all these people wanting the same old "Guy in black dragon armour, robin hood hat, and shooting a guy in full rune" But for those of us who only make pixels when the request is unique like Mr. X it does give meaning to it.

DoomGuard Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Power of PhotoShop lies in its combination of filters and handy tools. Besides, any tard can make the difference between a GOOD sig ( like ran shadow or misterxman ) and just a damn render, like clouds and such...

They don't ask for that because everyone else has it, they ask for it because that's probally what they do in Runescape. Lowgravity, I want to be just like you.

teenageloser33 Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Can you people read? I do pixels myself but only if I come up with a good idea nothing tedious. Its just a lot of requests are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razy_m8 Posted January 22, 2005 Author Share Posted January 22, 2005 see, your still under the impression that your filtered work is "good" i never said pixel sigs either, any 5 year old can slap on a bunch of lighting effects and blurs. but you design "noobies" will only keep telling yourself your work is good. so me stating anything beyond this will be useless.

Did I ever say filters are good? No. See I don't think filters look good, when I do my rare abstract I use bryce and then make it all snazzy in Photoshop. I hate filters, I absolutely do. Only if you can get a truely good looking effect out of it then do it but most of the time you can't. So before you assume anything about me, maybe you should get to know me.

DoomGuard Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 When you make a raw render in C4D or Bryce it looks like crap... cure u can apply materials and stuff, but with photoshop u can make it look really good...

Razy_m8 Posted January 22, 2005 Author Share Posted January 22, 2005 before assuming my latest post was about you, maybe you should think. photoshop is a creating prgram, made for desinging websites, and many other things, not editing. it just happens to be a good editing tool.

misterxman Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 To be honest I never intended any of my pixel sigs to be considered much art, I'm just in it for the gp. As long as I can make the customers happy, and the people who see the sigs wonder about it, that's fine because it accomplishes my objective. None of my sigs are ever for Media people, so I don't think my customers could care much if there's similarity because they usually take their sigs to their clan forums where there are no sigs like theirs. I'd rather draw in MSpaint for 6-8 hours than mine 30 hours in RS for gp. If I want to do art I'll draw in RL, which I don't do as often as I should. :oops: Yes, there are few good works posted on the Media Board, but it's impossible to stop the lesser work from being posted. One just has to cope with it, and the only way one can do something about it is to work hard in one's artwork and post it more often to fill the Media Board with more quality. Pixel sigs by me.Pixel Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 I agree with you. Anyone who's good does. But, there's nothing we can seem to do about it. You just have to live with it. The media board used to be great on scapeboard with amazing artists, but it's changed. No point in griping about it. Noobs will be noobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhotoShop is basically an editing program, not a CREATING program :) what are you talking about? atm i'm trying to learn how to brush clothes and make photo-realistic paintings on it. I think you should specify what you mean more. photoshop is $650 and it seems as though you haven't explored it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zonorhc Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 I LOVE my pencil. :D What I'll never understand is why people desire that Runescape-ish look. I understand that it's in the game, but sheez. Almost everyone and their dog has Rune and Dragonhide. I'm probably just saying this because of what I make, but still... Can't people ask for a pixel sig like "a mounted knight charging into a line of spearmen?" It can't be THAT hard to be original.

Lastpak Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 who cares if ppl all ask the same things... thats the difference between a good creator and a noob.... i myself try to be as much original as possible , sometimes it doesnt works , sometimes it does. But its not someons fault that there are to many rangers and they al want the balck ranger sig... let them ask , its not you who needs to put it under ur post . You only get payed for noob things , sometimes i sell really nooby sigs because ppl ask for these things. The customer is king! bring on the cash baby!
