Not bad, good colour editing etc, perhaps choose a different/better/larger or so font for the "Guild Wars", it's very small and leaves the picture fairly empty.

And just another thing, that isn't a sig as much as it is a small background.

You might want to resize it if you use it on a sig to say, 400x100.

Nice thread

Some nice pieces of artwork here, I dabble around in photo editing slightly, but I devote my time to music really, but these are a few I've messed with.

There are many different variations, too many ><, I like to think of it as the Guildwars Gandalf, but much younger...and stylish

As of outside of GW, these are a couple of photo's I've edited...heavily.

I did a "model" touch up, inspired by out TNTM. I have been touching up photos the past week and looking into it. It's very interesting to me how model's images are touched up...Boobs out, stomach flattened, butt bigger...It really effects peoples' self esteem. Anyway, heres what I did to my paragon.



You can see for yourself the things I did, and sadly these same things are done to real life women in our magazines today!

You may want to consider a smart use with the lens flare - it covers and takes away from the overall image and the smudging / shadow on the chest could be better.

A Few questions for you "crafter" guys....

* I have Adobe Photshop Elements 3.0 and Paintshop Pro 8.0, which 1 is better and easier to use?

* Which tool do you need, to cut out your char, from a screenshot?

Maybe some 1 could and would explain how to do some special effects on the screens or something....

Tnx in advance

Hello everyone

Ive always wondered how it would be if all my characters were to be together in one picture.
Does everyone remember the old fireplace where we could get to pick our character before the expansions came and changed our starting screens forever?

Anyway, i thought id get 3 of my characters ( my tyrian ones ) all together in one picture.



I used photoshop, im pretty much new to it, but it seems really fun and the possibilities seem endless.

Anyway, if theres any advice on how I could blend the characters with the landscape in a more realistic way (so it looks like a clean screenshot from the game) i will TRULY apreciate it. ^_^

Regards!

*Hmm i havent tried Paintshop Pro , but Adobe Photoshop seems quite accessible and easy to use, so id take that if i were you.

* Just use one of the selection tools(magic wand, lasso tool, mask, etc), aply a litle feather to the selection and use the move tool to move the character.

Special effects? okay, see that litle Filters box over there in the top? Click it, and explore the infinite combinations that adobe Photoshop has to offer.

I do think its kind mono, but thats probably what ll Minx ll intended it to be.

I'm assuming you used motion blur or a blur of some sort on your sig?

I used wind on the text and char, and diffuse glow on the background. The text is dark crystal(found it on dafont.com).

I also have a question. How do you give pics a cartoony look? Like the one of the monk posted earlier in this thread.

Take this picture of Mango for example...




If you ever want to try it on my computer, I'll show you how to do it.

Edit: Now that i look at it, i think he made it a little stronger and perhaps added a blur to it.

or you can go with a median filter. Its on fireworks 8 (i think...) and infranview, so its probably on photoshop too.

I'm guessing he's using Crosshatch or converted it into vector, but I may be wrong. There are a lot of combinations to get that result, the only way we can be sure is if we ask the artist.

hmm I found the posterize button. It was under image rather than filter, so I got confuzzled Q_Q Anyways, back on topic. More randomness done in a 5 minute period

Fear my random twirlyness. I actually forget what I did. I do remember pressing pinch, twirl, lens flare, and artistic tho xD

Nice rendering, but I do see a bit of choppyness on the axe. And there seems to be a bit of a glow around the render. Background I presume? Anway, much better than me, not so good at cuts.
