JR19759KeymasterWaooooooooooow. I’m impressed.
JR19759KeymasterAwesome job dude. Though being ultra-ultra pedantic, BBC news use a red banner with white text, not a blue banner, and the day/ time are white text on black boxes (sorry, I’m Captain Pedantic I know). But loving your shading, especially on faces. Oh and Wendy Gale’s name made me lol, hard. Though you do seem to have a random patch of skin showing just above the belt on her costume there. Dunno what’s going on there?

JR19759KeymasterExcellent, good to have you back
JR19759KeymasterOk guys, I want your suggestions for this again. I’ve had a few suggestions from various people but, whilst they sound cool, I’m not sure how feasible they would be, so I want to quickly;
a) hear your guys ideas for future contests and
b) run two of the ideas by you guys to see if you have any ideas on how they could be made to work. The first idea was one left on one of the Geek Quizzes and suggested doing a Video Game themed CDC. Obviously we can’t do actual video game characters, but we could do a “create your own video game” style CDC, but then what would the requirements and stipulations be? The other was suggested by Iscarioto and it was to have a Action Figure CDC. Again the idea is cool, but what would it entail?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
JR out.
JR19759Keymaster@HermanSmellville- No swearing please.
JR19759KeymasterFunny thing is I wasn’t trying to make something to win or anything this is just what came out.
To be honest, I’d be highly surprised if anyone made a pic intentionally aiming to get COTW and if they did, I’d probably not pick it. It’s not a competition, it’s a showcase of the creativity and diversity of the community, so you can’t exactly “win” it. You did a really good pic there and I felt it should be shown on the blog.
JR19759KeymasterGreat abs. She looks like she’s a tad top heavy though, if you get my meaning…
JR19759KeymasterI can already tell that when he’s finished he’s going to be something special
JR19759KeymasterWelcome to the forums. Like djuby said, you should try checking out some of the tutorials, there’s some really good tips on how to get some good effects out of heromachine. Other than that, just keep trying stuff out. Everyone on this site started out the same as you and got where they were by just trying new stuff out. Also, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. Everyone here is really helpful and friendly so you’ll more than likely end up getting an answer quite quickly.
JR19759KeymasterPuzzle (@WillyPete- I’m giving you an over the internet evil look right now for that one 🙁 )
JR19759KeymasterMy secret is that my portraits are blown up to, say, 600×600. That way you can get ridiculous amounts of detail with teeny tiny gradients (the ones inside the irises are 1×1). But, normally, yes. I do have trouble getting small enough highlights on regular characters. I finagle with eyes all the time because they’re usually uneven and don’t ever line up perfectly. That’s why I work on portraits in such big proportion, since you can get much finer control over that. As far as normal-sized characters? You pick your battles. xD
I recently came across Cliffs problem and used an eye whited out to add a highlight or two… since an eyes 100 x 100 base is already pretty small. It can get way smaller than a 1 x 1 gradient circle. I found myself wondering sometime earlier… Candruth… That (and since you do) if you blow it up to 600 X 600 and use the 1 x 1 gradient circle for a perfect fit…. Select all items and <b>then</b> shrink it down to 100 x 100 proportions… !?!?!? O.0 Rip in space/time continuum right?
*HEAD EXPLOSION*
JR19759Keymaster“Grace Lightning”?! REALLY?! *lols long and heartily*
Duuuuuuuuude I’m done.
JR19759KeymasterWell done, that’s the first time I’ve ever had to go back and re-write COTW on the morning of it being posted.
