You're not using a tablet?

No I am not.
Btw, any suggestions or tips?

You should.

I'd say you need darker shadows.

[Killerbee]

Looks great, but you're gonna have problems with the head once you start detailing I think

[Finlander]

Thanks all!

You should.

I'd say you need darker shadows.

Do you mean it was so horrible??

[Aanker]

Thanks all!


Do you mean it was so horrible??

No, I meant that you should think of it like this:

Right now, you're virtually working yourself to death to create a single realistic detail with your mouse. You are succeeding, but at a slow, painful pace (in comparison with those using tablets).

Imagine...

... If drawing in a picture editing program felt as if you were drawing in real life?...

... If those little details came naturally, instead of uncontrollably being carved from the jagged maneuvers of a mouse...

... If using your picture editing tool for a longer period of time wouldn't end up with the limbs of your right arm crying for mercy?...

... Imagine...

wow Aanker, you are really good at this...

Indeed my right hand is crying. But on the other hand, would I make my poor wallet to cry?

It is of course a matter of perspective, but you don't really feel the pain of your wallet by comparison. I'd say it's an investment in comfort and results.

Besides, from what I've heard, you don't really need a tip-of-the-line tablet unless your work is professional.

Good point Aanker. Have to think it more.

Anyways, here is a small wallpaper about the Aoe mod.

[Finlander]

thanks cedric.

[Finlander]

Double post...

Any comments for this? What do you think about the text?

[Master Necromancer]

Well try to lighten the face by using soft light layers and correct the "LIFE" in the typography.

All in all very nice.

[Finlander]

Thanks for the tips.

-correct the word. Done.
-lighter face. Done.

I'll add something fancy to it tomorrow. Too tired now.

[Master Necromancer]

Looks nice.

Is that Aragorn????

[Finlander]

Thanks and yes, it is Aragorn. I guess he has had a hard day.

[abbews]

No, it's Viggo Mortensen. I don't understand what you want from this sig? The quote is good, but doesn't really connect with the picture.

[Finlander]

Hello abbews.
Well, some of us may know that there is legendary Aragorn the Immortal, who kills hundreds of orcs without being injured.
So, now you can see that something has happened to him what orcs could not have done.

[Finlander]

Few simple signatures

[EVYATAR]

nice but i think that you should remove the drop shadows....

[Aanker]

I don't know about the shadows, but on iPhone, the tricorners seem to float into their backgrounds, if you get my point.

Perhaps make them (the backgrounds) brighter, or more coloured?
