  1. Yep, Val got it right.
    It's good to clean out your temp folder every now and then.

    I love MSpaint!

    Haha, thanks for the replies.
    My photoshop is teh broken right now (Says it needs to be on a different physical drive.... barf So it just launches and then shuts itself off).
    So I am using a $450 tablet on... MSpaint.


    Yay.

    I love MSpaint!

    States!

    Hurrah!

    I really should be writing my essay.
  4. Oh I am dead serious.
    When I get some time I will PM you some examples. Just make a semi-circle then add in un-even lines to add texture and a few notches and ta-da!
  5. Mohawks are actually SUPER easy.
    And it's a fan, not the spike one.
  6. LIES!

    I know Rowr is secretly plott the demise of us all!



    DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooOoOOoOooOoooOoooooooOO OOlohohohoholOhohohohoooOOooOOM!
  7. This may be old to you but !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    I blame Rowr for us only having two types.
    Know why?
    She told everyone about the additional types of wings after she visited Cryptic when they announced that wings would be in game.

    I think Cryptic had a hissy fit and are making us wait for inventions.


    BLAST!

    ...but sooooo pretty
    (I'm not mad at you Rowr. Just need a scapegoat.)
  8. Dear Graver,

    You are one heck of an artist!

    Yours truely,

  9. The pen tools is REALLY useful once you get the hang of it. Try tracing over some pictures and reading a ton of tutorials.
  10. Wait...

    Why is he earing a bowtie AND a necktie?

    Does he want to be extra fancy?
  11. Hey everyone!
    Stop being better than me!


    ...That is all.
  12. Very nice!

    Also: How many Dragon Ball Z characters does it take to scrw in a light bulb?

    Ahh, see what adding a few lines can do? I thought the panel above his head was solid. A hatch, not a cover. I should have guessed.

    Ok, now pronounce the chin guard a bit more.
    I would have his straight leg back some more. Think of a straight line going from the top of a character's head to their heels. Too far off from each other and they look off balanced.

    My 5th video

    Wow,
    That was somewhat interesting until two things happened:

    1) They started to "sing".
    2) He said "Necro-MAN-cy! WAHAHAHHAHAHA"

    I'm not one for bashing others for their musical choice but.... seriously, ICP is some of the most weak "EXTREMESHOCK" music in the world. Violent J (Jay?) has been a chauvinist in every interview I see and his little cronies just follow in his wake of mediocrity.
    These clowns (Pun highly intended) belong on some college radio afternoon station where they can be as wacky and wretched as they want to be and it's expected.
    Hide behind you makeup, put your hair up little scrawny braids, write horrible music and realize that you are some schmuck from the suburbs with too much time on your hands.

    That being said. The editing in the video was well done. The "sad" look on Malinko's face in the beginning while sitting on the bar was neat. Having black and white grainy effects like old film was a good touch.

    Make the videos YOU want to make. I will reply with the comment *I* want to. It may not coincide with your feelings but they are my own to have.

    The hand holding up the panel should have the fingers bent back if it is flat.

    The left hand's thumb is over his index fingers. That is a ver uncomfortable pose.

    Perspective is a bit off. The foremost lines on the ship do not meet correctly (Off page).

    For a scene like this, a normal, head-on view is not always the best bet. Try slightly looking up for a more dramatic, poerful feel.

    Tone down the muscles unless it is intended.

    Keep it up. Practice is it's own reward.

    Trials: Complete

    compleat?

    It's "Complete" unless I am being retarded about something.

    Also: Great job.

    Nifty Trick

    Wait, did you draw that?
    'cause I love it.

    Also, illusion storm- OMG so fun.
  18. Bah, I could have done better in MS Paint!



    ...No really, that is wicked to the maxxx.
  19. I hate it when I get candy corn. No one eats candy corn and has a docterate in a respectable field. I have money riding on that theory.
    BIG money.

    9X12 seems to be the acceptable standard. It's what I use.

    BE WARNED:
    Using a tablet does not make you a better artist.In fact, you will have to re-learn almost everything because it is a very different experience.
    One tip: Tape a piece of paper ofver the tablet to get a more familiar feel. Once you get the hang of that, take it off, switch out tips and work with your pressure slider.

    PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!
  21. No Battle, you made her HOT.

    Hurrr...
  22. Nice. I love the tin soldier key.

    Good job. Now, please do me?
