Feel free to give advice and post helpful tutorials.

I've just started out, so I don't have that much done, but I figured you kind folks could assist me while I try to improve (Blame Legless Lannes)

Ooh thanks I would rep ye, but I have to spread around

[Lord of Lost Socks]

No worries. Glad to be of some use

[Lord of Lost Socks]

Something I doodled with but not quite pleased with the result. I was too dark so I added the purple to make it a little lighter, but I'm still not 100% satisfied. :/
The biggest problem is most likely that my Noob Saibot isn't big enough :/

Thanks to Finlander for the render

[Finlander]

It is made for use.

Your assassins creed signature is great. And welcome to GW mate.

[Master Necromancer]

Great start but you might want to take it easy on the filters.

Welcome! +rep

Anyway LOVE the Cercey and middle Alkair one. And since when is Vimes a duke?

Thank you I'm only learning at this point checking out tutorials and getting used to GIMP.

Since he was made one. He's the richest man in Ankh(owns a tenth of it, or something)
Full title: "His Grace, The Duke of Ankh, Commander Sir Samuel Vimes"
And yes, but whenever I try to do anything without using filters it seems too plain
Really should find other ways.


Woop, finally some response Helpful advice always welcome.

What about Patrician Venturi?

[Lord of Lost Socks]

Vetinari. What about him? He rules the city, but the city of Ankh-Morpork doesn't own that much. There's a lot of rich people in the Ankh, but it's a poor city. And Vimes is the only rich person that pays taxes

[Master Necromancer]

In which book did he become a duke? Did he marry that cat dutches?

[Lord of Lost Socks]

"Jingo". He married Lady Sybil(when Vimes married her, she transferred all hew money i.e. TONS to Vimes). In Jingo they are given the title duke and duchess accordingly, by Vetinari.

In other news, I've been working on something, but I fear I've reached the limit of my capabilities. Main problems being, disintegration effect should be improved, the exploding planet should be improved and giving Shepard some motion and somehow blurring it a little so it focuses on him primarily(Like a blur focus, which I don't know how to do). I'm using GIMP, so any suggestions are welcome.

Oh yeah, and making the explosion look like it would affect what's happening to shepard

[Lord of Lost Socks]

Getting closer(Maybe?):

(work in progress)

And yes, Master Necromancer, I know you told me to ease up on the filters.
