Creative Work That Doesn't Deserve A Thread - Detlef's Detlef edition - General

What the fuck are you on about now? Now you're just making shit up. Where are Detlef, Rusty or 3v3ryb0dy when you need them. Anyway, I don't care anymore, print it as much as you want have fun with it.

This was the critique they offered from the S&M, and you already sounded like you knew much about how to compose an image and add proper lighting and definitely much more than the rest of the guys. And tbh you already seldom cared by refusing to critique it. All I came here was trying to get a different crowd's perspective on how to make the image proper. But as I can see, I'm already perceived as a pariah for not going to the [b]same[/b] crowd as before. [editline]27th May 2011[/editline] That and find a free version equivalent of Maya 2012

But what I suggest (and have suggested three times before) is to improve the damn speech bubbles.

The printers at my place tend to blur out edges since they make them larger. The movie poster I made for my earlier class project made the image look like I blurred the whole thing once over on PS. It still came out nice, but the jaggedy edges and the lack of AA; the printer did a good job of getting rid of them. And the stuff I asked previous wasn't about the posing or with in the game itself. I was wondering if the edited-in signs of 'DEA' or the signs are decent enough. That, and reeling back to my initial post, does anyone here get the point of the created scene that would convey a political issue?

I don't know a lot about posing in Gmod because I don't use the program. I'd follow Strider's advice and look at some help from people who not only can point out WHAT is wrong but also HOW to fix it. The best tip aside from avoiding comic sans and paint that I can give you is on composition. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Hz97K.png[/IMG] Now I understand you probably want that bloodied man's face in focus. Well, then you better be prepared to change a hell of a lot of things with your composition because he is barely noticed down there. Sure, he's within a line of focus, but he is not in a central position - In fact the only central thing you have is the policeman standing over him. Those places where the lines cross should be where you put focus on stuff. Right now you ain't giving us much to focus on. The composition is key to understanding the message as an issue in focus. If you don't know how to do that, either nobody will care or nobody will understand.

Once I lower the camera, the scene below the brawl is just empty street, should I go on ahead with having the action focused with in the 'crosshairs'? I think I can do without the 'Ken Pharm' sign above the door and have a different sign set on the window, but what kind of angle would be better? Most of my shots involve being from the ground, camera pointed [b]up[/b]. Also, should the scene be more or less empty?

you should go over to the garry's mod screenshot and movies section [editline]28th May 2011[/editline] :smile: [editline]28th May 2011[/editline] :smile:

[QUOTE=CabooseRvB;30089125]I think that people menstruate to the point where they have a red geyser whenever they see something that they think doesn't fit.[/QUOTE] Okay you're still in the wrong place. People who make GMOD screenshots post in the GMOD screenshots section. I think your picture is stupid and ugly, the lighting is bad the models are hilariously awful (no offense to whoever made the poor things) and you just aren't a likeable person, a normal person who doesn't suck would probably say "Oh shit, sorry, I didn't know there was a section for that, thanks." instead of starting an argument to defend their E-Pride like a silly misinformed asshole. They don't "THINK" it doesn't fit, it just doesn't. It's also not witty or clever or even remotely funny to me, it's like one of those bad Sonic fanfiction comics or something. Also here's the font you want. [url]http://www.dafont.com/anim-ace.font[/url]

I still can't decide if I really need a new tablet, I don't draw/paint that much but using my current tablet is awkward. And if I were to buy one, I'll have hard time deciding whether to buy Bamboo Fun Medium or a slightly more expensive Intuos4 Small, which is of course smaller but has nicer features. EDIT: Maybe I'll go with Bamboo Fun since I have other things to buy too.

[QUOTE=CabooseRvB;30089125]I think that people menstruate to the point where they have a red geyser whenever they see something that they think doesn't fit.[/QUOTE] fetch me my red pants, things are about to get messy. Caboose. The screenshots section is there for gmod/source screenshots, even in comic and artistic form. This incorporates your screenshot of a scene made in sandbox. I don't care if you deem it 'artistic', this is not a section based around gmod screenshots. At all. Not even up for debate. It isn't that it isn't creative, we get what you wanted to do with coming here instead of the derping masses of the screenshot section. Make a creative-posed-screenshots-that-doesn't-deserve-a-thread thread there if you feel the need, so people with works in progress and small fiddling and questions regarding how to improve don't have to make a new thread and get bitched at by people because it's in progress or only one shot or not good enough yet. I know the guys there can be aggressive, but if you provide a platform for everyone else maybe things will lighten up. Raise the bar [i]there[/i] instead of finding a different bar.

I did a project for school a while back that required me to design a book around some given text. The only major restriction was that we were limited to a max of three PMS colors (it had to register as only having three PMS colors in the color separations, no CMYK allowed). I went with an old-world "spellbook" type feel. Turned out rather okay, it was pretty rushed. So for my portfolio development class I took it on me to redo the book. Here's the result... [B]Outside cover, with my first attempt at coptic stictching.[/B] [IMG]http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb134/KorJax/P1020200.jpg[/IMG] [B]Inside title page.[/B] [IMG]http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb134/KorJax/P1020203.jpg[/IMG] [B]Example of a page in the book (I realize the irony of a typo being present in a book about type, but sadly I caught it after I already printed everything):[/B] [IMG]http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb134/KorJax/P1020202.jpg[/IMG] Biggest challenge was figuring out how to do that painted wood look in photoshop and indesign with only 3 PMS separation colors being registered for print. It's easy to say you did it with three colors, but getting it to show up not as a bunch of CMYK colors but 3 distinct PMS colors with no CMYK involved at all, is the major reason why the first version I had done was rushed. I used a dark brown (shades and text), light brown (highlights), and a green color (pictures and supporting elements).

Commencing big 'Boredom at Class' Dump. Really Ironic, how an arts student only gets creative when he does what he is NOT supposed to do.

[IMG]http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/4468/nosferatuc.jpg[/IMG] Yes, I ought to be stringed up for using checkered paper, but I was originally just trying out gothic print. Plus, its been a few years since I have seen Nosferatu, so he is not that accurate [img]http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/4954/74911695.jpg[/img] Oh 47, you so sneaky... how do you do that. Also, why are you so noir all of a sudden?

That third one is awesome, though you should practice head anatomy more.

Now its much better

I worked on the chin and on the neck, just updated my post above me

I found a neat little book that isn't in graph paper. After the next week which is filled with tests I will have time to practice anatomy properly (off the bus :v:) [quote] [img]http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/9305/20110528001.jpg[/img] [img]http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/444/20110528003t.jpg[/img] [img]http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/8537/20110528006.jpg[/img] [img]http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/2710/20110528007.jpg[/img] [/quote]
