looking for some feed back

So I'm trying something in photoshop. I want to take in-game screen caps, and edit them so they come out more like comic illustrations, or even like cell shaded drawings. Here's my first attempt. How'd I do? (click on the image for the full size version)

That looks drawn to me.

That's very cool but can you show a before and after so us lay-folk know what you did? I mean I think I get it but not 100%. Either way still cool.

Very cool Torroes, glad to see you're still around haven't seen you in a while.

I'm still amazed sometimes at how awesome our game looks.

Befunky.com does this as well in 1 click... I warn you now it's addictive...

hmmm, interesting site Lady. Gotta admit though, for what I'm trying for in this particular instance, I'm not too impressed with the results from Befunky:

sort of. It was my first attempt at using this technique for these screen shots.

My first use of this technique was to make images of the E-frames for the Exo-squad Wiki (like these: RA-643 Neosapian E-frame, El-909 Y-wing, SLR-345 Wraith, and AA-500 Falcon)

My first attempt at a toon follows: (click on thumbnails for larger view)

And actually a comic is exactly what I'm trying this for. I've made a couple comics in the past but I wanted more control over the images so I've been reading up on different ways to accomplish certain things. Here's 1 end result.

I'm trying it on this image now:

okay, so 14.75 hours after I started: (click on the thumbnail for the full picture)



and I happened to come up with this version. Posting it just cause I thought it looked cool.

These are quite interesting!

Okay I really like where you are going with this. I've seen some of the web comics based on screen shots and they didn't have that comic feel to me like these do.

Best of luck and keep us updated.

Thanks power. The next thing I'm gonna try is "mixing" two different line art pieces to achieve a new result. Specifically facial expressions. I'm gonna see what I can do, but I may need an actual artist to provide me facial expression guides. I'll post as I progress.

Ok....befunky is very addicting



Back on topic I LOVE the Rikti pic. I would be hard pressed to find any sign that it was not hand drawn, outside of scouring for brush strokes.

Is there a tutorial for the technique you are using to convert the screenies?

Feedback?

okay, first try with faces. How do you all think I did?

The expressions are clear. That's good. He lost his goatee in the last one, though.

Wow those look great!! Very nice job on all the work.

Also wow LJ that is a great great link i made some of the art i have into like wanted posters and stuff like that looks sweet

If you have Photoshop, it's very very easy to create this effect in less than 2 seconds. You can even tweak how much distortion, dark lines, etc.

Here's the original;


1.) Now select the layer containing your image.
2.) Select "Filters" from the menu.
3.) Select "Poster Edges".

Here's the Poster Edges Editor;


4.) Adjust the edge and posturization sliders to your preference.
5.) Click Ok.

Here's my result;


Have fun!



Here's a comic cover I was working on some time ago using Poster Edges;
