cadburys_egg Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 v1 v2 Origiminal In the mood for photo manipulating today. Saw a tutorial on CGFX for a photomanip, it looked awesome. When I made it... looked horrible. But I learnt from it and adapted it. Filters used: Gaussion Blur Brushes used: Two defaults Other Tools used: Sponge Blur Dodge Burn Sharpen Will not be using it here because the 30kb kills the image. Only going to use on GU (and any other forum I join in future). Rate? Hate? CC? kthx. Edit: After some CC and a re-cap, I re-did the text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortress2000 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Pretty nice. What type of tree is that? If it's what I think it is, it looks like a pretty big bonsai tree... Writing in colour was fun while it lasted...The Tip.It. Furry! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadburys_egg Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share Posted October 6, 2006 Pretty nice. What type of tree is that? If it's what I think it is, it looks like a pretty big bonsai tree... According to the name of the original, it's a King Bonsai. I want one now. :( not my favorite...too blurry....also "Cad" doesn't fit ... i say 23/82 I agree with the text needs doing. I might just get my tag and put it on. It's only blurry so the focus isn't on the rocks, though I may sharpen it a slight bit more. I say wtp/lol?.

cadburys_egg Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share Posted October 6, 2006 Updated with a re-do of the text and sharpening of the rocks. Better, I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortress2000 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Both versions of font = Nasty Good blending of the font in the second version, though. Also, down at the bottom of version 2, there seems to be something a little wrong with it... I can't put it into words... Wonkypixelitis? Writing in colour was fun while it lasted...The Tip.It.

I can't install fonts so i'm stuck with defaults. All I want of the text is to have my mark on it and the word "Uniquity". A cursive font seems most natural to me. THat'll just be where I have sharpened the image, then it gets a bit worse with my compression. Nothing I can do about that really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortress2000 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Well, seeing as I've not got Microsoft Word or anything of the likes, I'm only stuck with the default fonts that come with wordpad and paint.... I'm no help with the font, then, sorry. :( Writing in colour was fun while it lasted...The Tip.It. Furry! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imhomer Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I like the idea but it just seems way too empty. As for how you maniped it, it seems a little too blurry on both and the text needs work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The effects seem a bit simple. Nothing really stands out. Good job nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runescapeloser22 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 i really dont like V1 just cause of the text, but i love V2, awsome work 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorufriders Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 7,5/10 ok tell me wats the point of just rating rating meens notin it the cc artists need not a rating, rating is just pointless spam. on topic: i like actually i love but i do a agree the text needs some fixing sig and avy by born2die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadburys_egg Posted October 7, 2006 Author Share Posted October 7, 2006 I like the idea but it just seems way too empty. As for how you maniped it, it seems a little too blurry on both and the text needs work. Well I know I blurred it a tad too much, but I can't do a lot about that now. Text? I'm still open to ideas. Just saying "oh it needs work" doesn't help me. I want to get the look of it just floating like clouds, not sticking out. V.1 font kills the signature. V.2 works perfectly though. The effects seem a bit simple. Nothing really stands out. Good job nonetheless. It looks simple I agree, but there's about 15 layers in it. Mainly just some blurring and layer settings but also some brushing layers. You can't measure how good a piece of work is by how simple/difficult it looks. It's down to the artist themself really. on topic: i like actually i love but i do a agree the text needs some fixing That was no more helping than that rating really. If you don't like it, tell me what I could do to improve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExcelBlue Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Pretty good, I also love the font on number two. Meh, overall it's pretty good. Better then anything I can do anyways :oops: . The optimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celluzion Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 I kinda like the idea, but it hurts my eyes to look at a blur, the second version's text is definitely better, I have no idea what you were thinking of with the first text. May want to tone down the blur a lil, and put the tree into more focus. Known formerly as Ameoba3000. Now known as Vigoss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May want to tone down the blur a lil, and put the tree into more focus. You can't just "tone down the blur" without re-doing the whole thing. Which I really don't want to do.
