Very nice pic! Cody is perfect! (the coloration of Cody contrasting the background is superb!)

Rule Number one about GIMP: Color.

It's all about the colors. If the colors don't work, the picture sort of sucks - not that I'm saying this is rotten, far from it Razz

! Now while they're both in warm colors, the background and his armor, both colors aren't represented in each other. Yellow detailing in the pathed bottom, or a greyscaled version of him would be better. Furthermore, I do not like those little... black blotches in the background Razz

.

It's nice, though!

Oh, since seeing as only two people saw this in my thread in the "Other Creations Forum", here's a little poster I did Wink

.

"Fight The Imperialists"
After Bandomeer's colonial government was overthrown, and replaced with a radical revolutionary as President, the Bandomeerian people quickly needed to form a defense force to stave off the inevitable reprisals that their nationalization of Republic industry on the world, and their cancellation of invaluable mining contracts would bring. Knowing the CIS alone would not protect them, the Bandomeerians made use of the innumerable R2, R3, and R4 Astromech components in mines throughout the planet. Private citizens who were not members of the "Bandomeerian Liberation Front", but who had experience working with droids in their jobs at Ore Processing Facilities, strip mines, and in their private lives, could upgrade the innocuous droids into weapon platforms using whatever spare parts they could find to optimize their AI, reinforce their chassis, and prepare the droid for weapons outfitting. When ready for it's armament, the Militia would work with the civilians to install a suitable weapon back at one of their many headquarters. The "Blastromech" as it was affectionately dubbed, not only served as the poster project for Government-Civilian cooperation, but functioned as a Squad Support weapon for the beleaguered militia units.

Well after a lot of going through boxes and buying a shovel. I have finally found my version of the (What year was it?) 2007 adobe photo shop or Adobe photo shop 4.0. So I am going to see what kick arse things I can do with it. Now I can do what I always have desired.... Scrap booking Razz

by Zepher Sun Aug 30, 2009 3:12 pm

Please. Not see it Sial. I'm currently working on my very only Blastromech Wink

by Dutch Sun Aug 30, 2009 6:39 pm

Thank you sail and T.B for your commets.

Anyway is this any better?

by Sialboats Sun Aug 30, 2009 6:52 pm

Way better. Way, way better. Good use of the emboss/engrave tool, and excellent usage of the brushes Wink

Very Nice! Black and White go well with the rest of the pic in this case!

by Gerrard Mon Aug 31, 2009 2:09 am

Alot better, it looks pretty sweet. Though just to add, maybe make on color stick out?

by Dutch Mon Aug 31, 2009 4:12 am

Thanks everyone for your comments. Smile

This is not as good but I want your thoughts on it. Thanks

An avatar I made for a friend.

by Thunder-blade Mon Aug 31, 2009 4:14 am

Bottom one is very Sialesque. Wink

by Gerrard Mon Aug 31, 2009 5:18 am

But it still kicks-arse, more good work CK.

by Dutch Mon Aug 31, 2009 11:29 pm

This is going to become my new signature.
EDIT:
Why can't I see my signature?

by Thunder-blade Tue Sep 01, 2009 12:02 am

I don't know why you can't see your sig..

But the image is WAY too big anyway. Wink

by Gerrard Tue Sep 01, 2009 12:06 am

You have to be in the guild to have a sig.

by Dutch Tue Sep 01, 2009 12:54 am

Thanks Gerrard for answering my question. Smile

TB:
Thanks...I have already made a smaller sig.

by RubbahBand Tue Sep 01, 2009 2:37 am

Just a little thing I made in 5 minutes. Smile

Pretty nice Ano, and your welcome CK.

by Dutch Tue Sep 01, 2009 11:52 pm

That's excellent work Ano. Smile

This is probably one of my greatest works of gimp.

by Sialboats Wed Sep 02, 2009 12:35 am

Overuse of the supernova. It's too obvious and too prominently positioned. If I can identify it clearly as a GIMP supernova, it's a little out of place. Blurring it, putting it on a different layer with effects added, so forth, will go a long way in making your work better Wink

.

Not that it's bad....

...it's quite admirable for someone who's been exposed to GIMP for no more than - what, a few months?

I have only been working with gimp for about a month.

by Thunder-blade Wed Sep 02, 2009 4:10 am

Well for only a month you're pretty darn good.

It took me about 3-4 months to figure out how to use layers correctly. Embarassed

by Gerrard Thu Sep 03, 2009 1:50 am

Well, I think this pic stinks, but I want to know what I can improve on. Feedback please?

Eh.

It needs some glow around Cody, he looks way out of place.

by Gerrard Thu Sep 03, 2009 4:35 am

Is their a type of glow? Er...?

by Thunder-blade Thu Sep 03, 2009 4:36 am

Glow/blur whatever. Razz

Or wait for Sial to get on, he'll help you through. Razz
