my brother asked me to make him a queens of the stone age poster [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1482927/Posters/qotsa.png[/img]

quite awesome but black is too black. and there are some white pixels for whatever reason. And font don't really fit.

white pixels where

don't like the eyes in the first one :[ [img]http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/180/20101214164520979.jpg[/img] [img]http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/7399/p1605091029.jpg[/img] [img]http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/209/p1605090926.jpg[/img] also weird lighting cos they were all taken at different times.

I was planning on getting this made into a poster. [IMG_thumb]http://filesmelt.com/dl/philosophy2.jpg[/IMG_thumb] But was wondering if you guys thought it looked ok in black and white. [IMG_thumb]http://filesmelt.com/dl/Untitled-2512345678910.png[/IMG_thumb] Fucking hell I meant this to be in fast threads. I'll leave it here anyways, as long as you dont mind.

Some of the only decent things to come from my tablet over the past 2 years :(.

Perspective is wonky on that one with the rivers but I like them, especially the top two.

Ya, I have many problems, but if I can force my self to keep going and finish something, then it is all worth it for me. I am too OC to finish anything and it saddens me. This thread is inspiring though.

[QUOTE=mastermaul;26685601]Perspective is wonky on that one with the rivers but I like them, especially the top two.[/QUOTE] It's wonky in all of the enviros but I kinda like that savannah looking one.

[QUOTE=Rusty100;26684874]white pixels where[/QUOTE] On some of the edges. Most visible on his right arm, our left.

those are just from the resize

[QUOTE=Rusty100;26687256]those are just from the resize[/QUOTE] You shouldn't get white pixels from re-sizing anything, ever. That means there are white pixels there from before you re-sized it.

they are grey

[QUOTE=Rusty100;26687386]they are grey[/QUOTE] I see. That still means you got a problem with the re-scaling since it should be transparent values of black. Not grey. When you re-size it should make blocks like that to anti-alias. It's not anti-aliasing if it's putting clearly visible grey pixel around the edges.

nah it just was a sloppy cutout job from a white background, still a few grey bits linger on sharp angles but i fixed it anyway, even though it totally didn't need to be fixed because its meant to have a kind of sloppy style [editline]14th December 2010[/editline] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1482927/Posters/qotsa2.png[/img] grey/white lines gone, black faded more

Aww yeah. The only "problem" now is the lack of impact the font has. I think it's a bit too round and have too many messy serifs to really give off that "ye olde font" look.

I really don't know if this deserved a thread, so I'll just write this here and hope for some good feedback. It's the beginning of a short story with a possible continuation. "Calm down", "what?", "I said calm down". "How can you expect me to calm down, you just killed all those people". "I did it because I had to", "what do you mean you had to?! They were so nice and friendly", "well-", "What are we going to do now?!". "We can go ashore". A brown-haired man is standing on a small wooden ship, next to a door, his clothes are stained with blood, on the deck of the ship are about 8 bodies, all recently killed in what looks like a fight of some sort. "We've got this ship, let's sail back to the mainland" the voice from inside the door says. "Well, this ship requires at least 5 people to operate, and I just killed the crew". "Why the hell did you kill them then?!". "Well, you know which particular island we're right next to". "Are you saying, they were-" "-yes", "doesn't that mean we will-" "-yes", "but I thought that only happened-" "-Perhaps it became stronger. Look, if we stay here, the same thing will happen to us, eventually, but if we go ashore, perhaps we can do something about it". "Alright, but promise you'll protect me". "Like I always do". The man said smilingly as the door opened, a young woman stepped outside, she is frightened and disgusted by all the fresh bodies. She is blond with an average hight, though still shorter than the man who is quite taller. She hugs him. "Promise me". "I promise". That's it for now, I have no idea how I'll continue it, with some constructive feedback hopefully it'll be better.

[QUOTE=Rusty100;26688076]its the official album art font, and as you know im a man who sticks to his sources[/QUOTE] Then you are forgiven. Although I'd say "If it's broken, then fix it".

trying to save the clint poster at a 7016x9921 png was a bad idea see you in a few years [editline]15th December 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=dgg;26688105]Then you are forgiven.

It's really confusing and it's hard to follow who is saying what, don't be afraid to put in words as 'I said' or 'he said', describe every now and then if they are smiling when they reply or if they look frustrated. And for christs sake, don't use commas, as, often as, you , do. There's nothing wrong with using full stops to end sentences every now and then, use it with moderation however. Here's how it should look like in the first few sentences ; [quote] "Calm down" I said to the man. "what?" was his reply. "I said calm down". "How can you expect me to calm down, you just killed all those people!" He shouted at me. "I did it because I had to", the man looked shocked and stared at me. He was at a loss for words. "what do you mean you had to?! They were so nice and friendly!" He didn't understand that I had to do it. How could he? "well-" he cut my sentence short "What are we going to do now?!" He yelled out.[/quote] See how much easier it is to follow the conversation? It also shows a bit of emotion, and makes you wonder what has happened. Here's another part where you're abusing commas ; [quote] "Like I always do". The man said smilingly as the door opened. A young woman stepped outside. She looks scared, and disgusted. I can't blame her with all the bodies lying around. She walks over to the man. Her blonde hair is <describe how her hair is cut> and hugs him. The man has to make himself shorter to hug her. "Promise me." She says to the man. "I promise." [/quote] You really need to work on how the characters interact with eachother and how you write it down, you also need to work on making it coherent. Make the descriptions flow better.

[QUOTE=Gregah;26688235]"Calm down" I said to the man. "what?" was his reply. "I said calm down". "How can you expect me to calm down, you just killed all those people!" He shouted at me.

Too much "I did this and then he did that".

For emotions you're quite right, I didn't describe them well enough, I guess I should. For example the woman is angry and stressed, while the man is calm. I thought it'd be understood because of what they're saying, but if it's hard to understand who's saying what I guess it'll be hard to understand their emotions. Oh, and it's not supposed to be a 1st person view story, so I can't write things like "then he looked at me and said". I'll take your advice into account though, thanks.

Gaston rubbed his beard, his eyes drifting into the distance. His mouth opened briefly before quickly stifling itself, as if a thought had been half conceived before dismissed. "We could-" he paused, still forming the idea, "...rub our cocks together. You know, to see if they ignite?" At that moment, my passion had never been so engorged. "Your magnificence never fails to arouse me, Gaston." His eyes grew wide with insatiable excitement. CHAPTER 4 - THE GRAVY TRAIN

I tried to draw John Kramer (Tobin Bell is the actor) Warning, huge resolution, jpeg (but no visible artefacts so it's okay) [media]http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/9646/kramern.jpg[/media]

[QUOTE=z0nk3d;26689173]Warning, huge resolution, jpeg (but no visible artefacts so it's okay)[/QUOTE] As long as you don't save with Paint or something you're fine with jpg's. Most of the pictures in this thread are jpg's anyway.

Dump of several drawings I made. The first three have been made in class, the third one has got remade in gimp after being scanned and the last two ones have been entirely made with gimp. (note - the fat guy with a goatee and glasses is actually some kind of French AVGN. And, yes, the words in the background are written in French, thus the additional "e" at imminent) [media]http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/9530/dragonva.png [url]http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/1088/dragon2retouche.png[/url] [url]http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/6031/edorakretouche.png[/url] [url]http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/5207/jdg.png[/url] [url]http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/199/retractbladefinal.png[/url][/media] [editline]14th December 2010[/editline] [img]http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/5076/boredp.png[/img] And another one.
