could still go a lot further. especially the highlights
stay away from fuzzy brushes btw, everything is getting very blurry especially for a hard-edged object

I love this too much, how did you do the line art? With a tablet and what brushes?

Nice
I would play with making lines skinnier (lighter) the further from the camera
Might give it a better sense of depth

You really need to work on defining your shapes. Lay down some solid 90-100 percent opacity brushes when you start, and work off of those.

Quickish poster design for the student accommodation place in which I stay and help look after
Illustration done mostly with the angular lasso tool

I feel like the glowy-ness of the title doesn't fit with the illustration. might just be me, though.
Thanks!
I'm thinking I'll separate the header and footer stylistically from the illustration
chromatic aberration !!!

Wonderful. Just out of curiosity, what's your dpi?

whoa how did that happen? fixed
I went and bought myself a new tablet. Nothing special though, just Bamboo Pen.
It's a slight upgrade from my old tablet, hopefully it'll be more comfortable, though.

72 dpi is kind of atrocious if you ever want to print it
[QUOTE=salmonmarine;36377698]Wonderful. Just out of curiosity, what's your dpi?[/QUOTE]
Doesn't matter what the DPI is. What matters is what the resolution is. The DPI can be changed at any time without affecting the resolution, it will only affect the print size.
[QUOTE=ADT;36378748]72 dpi is kind of atrocious if you ever want to print it[/QUOTE]
Classic example of someone that doesn't understand DPI.
[img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3655193/howdpiworks.jpg[/img]
So, as you can see, a document size of 2048 equals 17,34 centimeters of printing size on paper with 300 dpi which assures you the best print quality (any higher and it's not visible to your eye). But 240 dpi which camera images leave as a standard works just as well, should you need it bigger but don't want to make it bigger.
With a 72 dpi, which is taught as "screen friendly" your print will look like utter shit since the whole image is stretched out to 72,25 centimeters of paper print. Which is horribly overblown.
Now then, so why are we taught that you only need 72 dpi for screen and 300 for print? Well, first of all it's because they don't understand what DPI actually does. However, what they really mean is that when you already have an image at 300 or 240 dpi, you can change it to 72dpi in the "image size" window and it will scale down the resolution to the point where 72dpi will print just as large as it would when you had it at 300dpi, which means it will become much smaller since 72dpi prints out much larger.
But wait, how do I change the DPI like you are talking about without changing the resolution? Set the DPI with the crop tool.
And for those who don't know. DPI stands for Dots Per Inch. It's how many dots of colours your printer uses on each inch to print out your image. So obviously more dots needs more pixels which needs higher resolutions.
PPI stands for pixels per inch, but that's never really used since it's irrelevant to printing and on monitors we know the resolutions and we just make what fits.

I find it better to begin my document with the correct DPI and size (in cm, if I know how big I'm printing). Makes for a much easier (and less potentially erroneous) conversion down the line

Always best. But really, there is no hassle. You just set the DPI size with the crop tool and nothing else and crop it. Nothing changes and nothing can go wrong.

Thanks for the info, that's one of the areas of image editing I'm still in the dark about.
wow i just realised how dark my screen is at home, looking at these in college they are completely different. At home i cant event see the bottom half of that knight painting by xephio.
If you change the DPI without changing the resolution, you're gonna change the printable size though, which is something you need to take into consideration.

half of the time i have F.lux open (which is a warm filter thingy for your screen that also lowers brightness) and when i turn it off i suddenly start seeing things in paintings what i wouldnt have seen with flux on
very annoying too when doing colour sensitive work
