and another, this one was inspired by the fact that in allmost all games/rpgs all the male warriors wear armour etc  the female fighters have to get around in a tiny bikini, mainly because men make games..

so this one goes out to all those who think thats a bit silly and more than a bit immature :)

Great scythe! Really good how you make it look metallic! :)
But, the shaft is too long regarding the handle.

Or is it a kama?
Title:
Post by: Kintall on February 22, 2004, 12:45:10 am
well I\'d comment on the scythe I made but to be perfectly honest Photoshop gets the credit for that, ( I honestly just couldnt be bothered doing the blade so I let photoshop do it for me)

but yeah....   no comments on the comments?

its SILLY thats the thing, odd as this may sound anything thats is without some sillyness is impossible to take seriously, in short I am ensuring planesshift be taken seriously...buy having  (insert monosylabic name here) the invincible hold aloft his enchanted rolling pin...

more sillyness to come once upl mine starts working again, or I finda better host

more art, as it happens mu \"human Bioscience\" lectures leave me lots of time to draw, see below

comments, mandatory thats right you HAVE to comment or I\'k come to your house ans umm..   well it\'l be bad dont you worry

*no comment*  :P
Btw did you draw him to be of a certain race?
Title:
Post by: Kintall on March 03, 2004, 11:37:41 am
nope no race in mind...

seems since I went off about seperot I get little responses and no critiqes, guess I shouldnt say bad things about people who been here longer than me...

that or all my works  turned bodgy, allso a possibility

poop, is that it or is my art turning bad? or is it just that no ones been bothered replying to the thread?

if it was me goin off at Seperot, then I\'m sorry if I went overboard, I probably did...  sorry
Title:
Post by: Moogie on March 03, 2004, 11:48:57 am
I don\'t think either of those possibilities have stopped people replying.

First of all, you started a small contest, which made people forget about comments/critiqu? and just want to guess the caption.

Secondly, not that many people come to comment on artwork unless they just want to post \"WOW that\'s awesome!!1\". Once you\'ve had the initial wave, you can\'t expect people to carry on commenting with the same enthusiasm that they had when you, a great new artist, and your work, came along.

Finally it\'s possible that people require something new (a new style, new way of colouring, shading, etc) after a while. Simply put, they may just be bored. (But that\'s far from saying your artwork is \'boring\' in its own right- I hope you understand what I mean).
Title:
Post by: AendarCallenlasse on March 03, 2004, 12:07:25 pm
No Kintall Seperot doesn\'t hold that much respect around here.  Sorry but it\'s true.  I dunno why people have slacked off because your work is as great as ever.  I just don\'t stop by the fanart section much.  The art I have seen so far is awesome.  I especially liked that mage you did.

well your request is what made me thing of it so in a way it IS your request :P I\"l do another though any specifics yopu had in mind?


and mr Ald, dont forget the P word (not pumpkin)

:P
Title:
Post by: Kintall on March 04, 2004, 02:04:20 am
oh and I did this 2, mainly to try out some things like texturising a layer then giving it a \"fur\" look by using the smudge tool
(http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload9/jugothan.jpg)
 and the new sig is open for critiqe as well :)
Title:
Post by: AendarCallenlasse on March 04, 2004, 02:11:58 am
Looks like a creature we should see in PS.  :]


Specifics:  
Nolthrir male.
Tall, long light green hair.
Black robes.
Casting some sort of dark magic.
Also some sort of demon hound would be nice.

Basically just make a nolthrir mage who looks really dark and forboding.
Title:
Post by: Kintall on March 04, 2004, 04:15:25 am
Boy o boy do I got a shiny dark magey fellow for you I\'m really liking the cool effects and capabilitys photoshop seven\'s got (those glowy rings arent all that hard)

Excellent work!

Really nice Kintall though the face looks sortove like a girls but maybe thats how it was supposed to look anyway great picture.  :))
Title:
Post by: Ghostslayer on March 04, 2004, 09:01:10 am
Well, the work you are doing now is great as usual :D

Just a comment about the blue creature though, the fur looks great, but the spikey part on top looks, well really shiny.  Not sure if thats the look you were shooting for, but its a little too shiny for my tastes.  (Still cool tho :) )

It would also be cool if you did some darker pieces, with shadows and stuff (not completely sure how to explain this, my artistic abilities are non-existant :P), I\'m curious as to how your talents would be incorporated into that type of imagery.

Anyway, keep up the good work :)

well the theif is ready, I was planning to do a night skyline behind him, but as my landscape art skills arend as,how shall we say...   passable, I got frustrated and looked menaingly at the first thing I found.... it was a kitten,my menace went away and I removed the attempted backgound for further practice.

for now heres that flappy theif fellow

OMG you work fast! Very nice work too, the cartoonish-style is.... entertaining. :D
Title:
Post by: Moogie on March 04, 2004, 05:05:32 pm
Brilliant, you really hit back hard with these latest additions. :) They\'re original, wonderfully coloured and very detailed (especially the mage). I\'m sure you also found them alot more fun to draw, and more rewarding to complete. :) I hope you keep up the great work!

Here\'s a request, although more of a suggestion really- just try it if you find some spare time or you\'re bored :) But be warned, this would probably take quite a bit longer than your others:

An Enkidukai rides in the foreground on a huge black/brown Megaras, weapon in hand (probably a bow- it\'d be hard to use any other weapon mid-air!). In the background you can see other riders in the distance, some so distant that only their sillhouette shows.

The riders wear a light battle-armour, gold in colour, richly decorated... these people are most likely the elite troops of an army, sent into battle as a last resort. The Megaras\' also wear a few pieces of protection- perhaps a face guard, or steel claws on their feet, a saddle, breastplate... or whatever looks nice and allows them to freely flap their wings. :)

The background would be a simple sky, your choice of colours, and your choice of anything else that may be visible or happening in the picture. :)

I understand that sounds like a pretty daunting task, and I don\'t blame you if you don\'t attempt it... hehe. I wouldn\'t. :P
Title:
Post by: Kintall on March 05, 2004, 02:54:32 am
big request...  

BIG CHALLENGE :)

will do, may take a minute though, and umm..... whats a megaras?
Title:
Post by: AendarCallenlasse on March 05, 2004, 02:58:16 am
Wow I can\'t wait to see how this picture turns out.  Although I\'m not sure, either, what a Megaras is.  Sounds like it\'s a flying creature obviously.
Title:
Post by: Fenrison on March 05, 2004, 03:04:36 am
Taken from http://www.planeshift.it/setting_overview.html

Megaras

The second flying animal is the Megaras, which is similar to a giant bat. Scientists believe the Crystal has genetically mutated the Megaras, since they reproduce only in Yliakum. These bat-like creatures are not as docile as the Pterosaurs, but they are stronger and more efficient, making them perfect to carry heavy but not too delicate loads, such as food and building materials. As with the Pterosaurs, each mercantile society is allowed to own only one Megaras.

Never seen a picture of one, let alone one with an Enkidukai rider. should be interesting :)

Giant bats eh?

..

sorry its just that I have fruitbats  sesonaly in  my backyard,

and how in blazes bats became a steriotype of scary I\'l never know, they are loud screeching incontinent gluttonus flying swearing rats that poo on everything

the prospect of a giant one makes me and my outdoor furnature quiver:P
Title:
Post by: Kixie on March 05, 2004, 03:31:12 am
when i think of the megaras for some reason i think of those hog-nosed bats with the upturned nose. definally cool looking IMO.
Title:
Post by: Fenrison on March 05, 2004, 03:31:42 am
lol, i love fuit bats. I dont live in a place that has them as native creatures though. As for the stereotyping, i havent a clue.

Post by: AendarCallenlasse on March 05, 2004, 09:31:19 am
Excellent work as usual Kintall.  It seems like the enki is the only rider attacking there, if so some of the arrows should be facing the other way shouldn\'t they?  

Other than that it\'s perfect.

Title:
Post by: Taldor on March 05, 2004, 04:49:51 pm
Kintall, i think this one of the best picture you made so far, because it is finally something else then a \'simple\' portait.
Title:
Post by: Kintall on March 05, 2004, 06:06:39 pm
Aye, tiz more than a portrait, only two things remain however....

one: any requests on what to do next?

and two: anyone else like the idea of a skill swapping forum thread thing to trade techiques and tips and so on?
because since I started all  this request business I\'ve learned a couple o things.
 like those big purple clowing rings in the dark mage pic are so silllyly easy and other stuff akin to that 2

and as far as my own comments on tthat most recent work.. well it needs two things more than anything one is  more of a sense of depth and two: its not as dynamic as I had hoped, I think I\'ve donr 2 many static peices of late but hey...

Request lines are open (and dont forget the P word:P)
Title:
Post by: AendarCallenlasse on March 05, 2004, 06:13:43 pm
Hooooow about....a Kran and a Ynnwn duelling?  I\'d like to see that.

well weel see if someone else wants a request first you gotta let some other peeple get a go :P but I\'l drop it on the backburner

in the meantime I think I\'ve finally come up with a Character I think I\'l have as MY character

Title:
Post by: AendarCallenlasse on March 05, 2004, 08:53:02 pm
Ok this one has to be my favorite so far.  I love the way you made Lucien look.  One question though.  That thing on the left side of the shadow...is that a wing?
Title:
Post by: Kintall on March 05, 2004, 09:03:41 pm
well if you mean the wing on the figure in the background then yes it is a wing, not in the aerodynamic sense but in a symbolic sense yes it is a wing... singular
Title:
Post by: Fanomatic2000 on March 06, 2004, 01:05:07 am
I like it a lot as well. Say, have you ever though of doing a comic? If not I think you should, because your art is really great. Glad to see you\'re back in action, and keep up the good work  ;)

Title:
Post by: Skizzik on March 08, 2004, 08:14:37 pm
OMFG so cooool and evil! That looks soooooooooo wicked! Damn man, I really like that, it almost makes me shiver. :D
(The clothes aren\'t really fitting to PS though)

Kran and Ynnwyn are races in PS. Kran are the big stone guys and Ynnwyn are the red guys (crossing between diabolo and elf).
Title:
Post by: Kintall on March 09, 2004, 01:06:18 am
well thankyou, its nice to get an \"OMFG\" every now and then:) and the clothes are fine I think as they dont really match any particular era anywho there just a bit finer cut than most fantasy type clothes..


oh and by the by, Lucient... is not evil :)



and more comments always welcome
Title:
Post by: Kixie on March 09, 2004, 01:23:08 am
of couse lucient isnt evil persay, he just has a 7 foot dark shadow that does his bidding by feeding on the souls of humans. that doesnt make him evil at all...

but you realise kintall that my characters career is taking out evil aberitions like those of your shadow. so in other words, it might want to watch its back in cb :P
Title:
Post by: Kintall on March 09, 2004, 01:30:53 am
lucient doesnt have a 7 foot black shadow....

quite the opposite in fact

weeeel lemme put it this way,
hes not evil,
there names are Lucient and Kintall
kintall is a shadow
sadows show your true nature
the colour in kintalls eyes is a mirror of lucients
look up \"lucient chiroptera\"


all will be made clear

anyone got any requests by the by?
or comments on recent work?

Probably not, because they\'re not really anything to do with PS. :)
Title:
Post by: Kintall on March 09, 2004, 11:17:24 am
Allmost all of them are for PS, there requests, of PS things...

Lucient on the other hand may not fit with the medievil setting and style that PS seems to be leaning itself toward

not that I wouldnt mind helping out on PS but I fugure if I was needed I\'d have been asked

and no comment on the work Mogura?

Apologies. :) Infact I\'ve got a question about the latest pic. I\'m interested to learn how you created the effect for the flaming figure wrapped up by the shadow Kintall? It almost makes the scene look like a frame from an animated movie or cartoon... it works well. :)

And does lucien have spectacles?

Correct me if I\'m wrong Kintall, but I believe the fire effect was done with an outer glow with a deep red color, and a short motion blur.

BTW, Kintall your work is incredible...All of it...I was more amazed with each new pic I saw!
Title:
Post by: Kintall on March 09, 2004, 12:44:52 pm
I\'d be glad to explain how, all you have to do is:

(http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload9/LucientDAMINGsmall.jpg)

1:make a separate layer with the colouring for the \"burning\" object
2:this layer has to be around the top
3:get the motion blur  to verticaly soften in
4:then just smudge the little licks of flame
5:then jjts usethe layer blending propertys to give it an outer glow of red (you may want to make the outer glows blend mode \"normal\")


that was kinda involved eh... well its easier than it sounds

oh and those rings
(http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload0/reevilring.jpg)

just make an image that is square then

do all your stuff like this

just remember to elongate it upwards using free transform otherwise it will be circular but sqwished, oh and the layer that will be your glowy ring thing must all be ONE layer otherwise when you use polar ordinates it will  only do one layer and the dimensions wont match

so after you ringed it just give it a blur so the outer glows got something to blend from, then add the outer glow, dont forget you can change the colour of the rings by the use of the colour overlay blending property


(http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload0/stepone.jpg)
(http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload0/ringed.jpg)

phew..... oh and they are specs and thanks for the praise

Awesome. :) And I just noticed the word \'Kintall\' in the rings... very clever touch.

Hehe, I would never have noticed that myself. I love those kind of details. :]  

Nice photoshop-effects by the way, The flames looks really good, and I like the way you have dissolved Lucients body into Kintalls.
However I think that Lucients clothes are a bit plain, perhaps you could add some more wrinkles and shadows to it, but apart from that, it\'s superb.

I have a little request for you by the way...

A group of four adventurers stands on top of a hill, watching the sun rise over Yliakum. It\'s summertime, and the ground is green with grass, and covered with flowers. The sun are just about to rise over the mountains, coloring them red as blood.
The first adventurer is a Kran who looks a bit dumb and confused. He has no weapons, but doesn\'t look like he need any either. His strong arms is propably more than enough to scare away even the most horrible monsters in all of Yliakum.
Beside of him stands a girl with a staff in her hands. She looks happy and grins as she follows the beautiful sight in the horizon. She looks innocent and cute and doesn\'t seem much like an adventurer at all, more like a healer or a farmer-girl. She wears a white robe with blue patterns.
The third member of the party is a lemur who fully enjoys the sun. His face is proud, and by his side hangs a exclusive short-sword. He holds the right hand over his eyes to shield them from the sun, and seems to be searching for something in the horizon. His clothes is of the more exclusive type, and even an untrained eye can see that this is a man of wealth.
The last member of the party is a female Nolthrir, who is a more serious type. She looks around suspiciously and seems to be ready for anything. She has a longbow of the more aquatic type on her back, and she wears a long blue cape with strange symbols on.

It\'s just a request, so dont feel forced to do it if you dont want to. Take your time. :)

OR you could make daimyo Kezuke Minkasen (on a throne?) and his loyal bodyguards, a samurai, two ninjas and an not-so japanese looking alchemist/tinkerer.

I also have to say that all your art is WICKED and I havent told you so before because of lazyness...
Title:
Post by: Kintall on March 12, 2004, 09:28:15 am
Jeeez Loise, those are rather big requests...    well once I\'ve got these dueling felows coloured and the  lovely princess I decided on done then the pic I did of lucient in his battle outfit and the chibi-Lucient then yes I most certanly will do em so long as I get the magic word :)
Title:
Post by: Skizzik on March 12, 2004, 08:15:04 pm
Okay okay, I guess somebody has to work his/her magic... Please!
Lol, I\'m as eager to see Fanomatic\'s request as he is, he\'s making it hard on you. ;)
Title:
Post by: Kintall on March 13, 2004, 12:52:01 pm
well heres that duel that was asked for, one of the duelists however is no longer one of the red skiknned peoples, and the pic on the whole... isnt my favourite

(http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload0/duelinnotbanjos.jpg)

but well its all about learning so  bad ones are bound to happen
and theres a few things qued in before those two rilly big requests so the going to have to wait, plus the weekends just about over


oh and in other good news I\'ve been roped into doing comic strips and graphic design for the University I go to, i might even get PAYED FOR IT (every artists pipe dream) anywho thats me done

wow... great work kintall (again) i like to see your not just using flat smooth textures like usual but you are mixing it up a bit EG: the good guys hair, the bad guys fist, skin and blade hilt. Very cool, anyone who says you havnt improved is an idiot.

Ladies Gents and People of the remaining poulous heres one more of yours and my favourite Good guy

Lucient!

this one shows him in his \"battle\" Garb

(http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload0/lucientbattleGarbsmall.jpg)

comments suggestions, ritual monkeys all welcome

as for the four adventurers and the fellow with his 2 ninja buddies well the guy with the ninjas will come first as its easier and theres a couple O jobs in between, non planeshift requests kinda thing

He is, no ones guessed it?

\"Shadows show your true nature\", Lucient is the big dark being and the figure in pure white is HIS shadow its a vision of the good soul in him, so its the figure in white that is the shadow, not the Black shape that seems to follow it, see....?


we all got our things

thats his:)

Post by: Zephyrus on March 15, 2004, 05:50:52 pm
ah very clever i was thinking that the shadow might not be the shadowy figure from your heavy handed hints.

If my shadow shows my true nature then my true nature varies with the time of day. At sunset i am elongated...

Wow! Great work, I\'m looking forward to your other work! I have a request though, I would like a Xacha battlemage, dressed in medium armor. He would hold a Red Way magic staff in his left hand, and in his right would be a rapier. On his back there would be a Azure Way staff strapped on. If you could please do this, it would be real great
Title:

Ty Ty, well I got the four adventurers done.. no flowers but hey :P

(http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload0/bigcomplicatedonewallsize.jpg)
I\'m once again not entirely sure about it, one thing I think I should work on is initial design context, basicaly making sure everyones doing the right stuff for the pic when I first come up with the idea..  as for the psd of this file its sodding huge and layers wise..   its crazy, no really theres lots


ahh and yeah as far as \"hellsing\" goes I have been going for an old arabic look to his shadow so yeah hellsing ahoy

Elegrand... your request will have to wait I\'m afraid I\'m so sodding swamped for once, some of its Uni work and somes art I\'m voulenteering to the Students assoc of my uni, and some is jjst art purely coz I like the idea
like this kinda thing...

(http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload0/Racerpostvers.jpg)

as for mister Kezuke Minkasen and his merry lil band the scetch has vanished.. it may be on the bus I caught home from uni, I\'l see when I can see about another, but remember:ME=BUSY BUSY BUSY

anywho thats me done, any comments critiques or constructive criticism is more than welcome, in fact its wanted :)
Title:
Post by: NewPie on March 17, 2004, 06:50:27 pm
One thing I would like to see would be an old human(read Ylian) shaman with scar in his cheek, necklace of teeth (one big tooth hanging in the middle of course), smooth wooden staff in his hand and long stare in his eyes ^^

Edit: Please ^^
Title:
Post by: Zephyrus on March 17, 2004, 08:02:30 pm
Newpie he just said he was busy busy busy, and you werent even polite enough to compliment his most recent materpieces.

The four adventurers are awesome...
Title:
Post by: NewPie on March 17, 2004, 08:12:53 pm
Naah ... I don\'t say anything polite because I want to keep my evil image >:[

And I really wonder if he wants to hear all teh criticism I would say if I spoke ^^

So I will only say ... Whine zeph ^^

The characters in the \"Four adventurers\" peice look like they have personalities... like they belong in a comic strip.  How \'bout it Kintall?  How about a comic strip. ;)

Great work!

Post by: Phinehas on March 18, 2004, 12:49:38 am
Ok, stop. No, seriously, it\'s so good it\'s just wrong. Those three... sheesh! It\'s just... wrong... lol. I would make a request, but you\'re swamped, let me know when you\'re unswamped, so I can swamp you.
Title:
Post by: Kixie on March 18, 2004, 01:00:24 am
we need some new fad to roll through so kintall isnt so swamped with request. like sinon, why dont you start your art again? i would start mine again, but 1st of all, no one responds to it or doesnt like it and 2nd of all the ones that looked good were made using flash mx (im a lying cheater :P). I might start up again but i dont really think its that rewarding, but i am thinking of submiting some medieval type songs if i could just get my audio feeds to work.. But OT WONDERFULL work kintall. Very professional looking, very customized and very colorfull. this thread definally deserves a sticky IMO but thats up to teh mods not me. well I hope your not swamped and your just takin a break because you definally deserve one. Im sure no one will mind if you extend your \"swamping\" to a psuedo-swamp. :P but great work kintal.

EDIT: BTW.. that 2nd pic is kind of odd... how would she run? that would be like running in high heels woudnt it? she must not catch alot of bad guys...
Title:
Post by: Wedge on March 18, 2004, 01:03:52 am
Yeah... that is crazy goodness.  What\'s up with the uber-giant bow and sword though?  The staff design is really cool though... shame I don\'t think it\'s feasable for a realtime model... mebee I\'ll try when I\'m bored though.
Title:
Post by: Kintall on March 18, 2004, 03:05:25 am
wow..  thanks for all the responses and praise

Phinehas:yeah I\'m swamped hardcore ATM so , you can still make requests, I just may not get around to them within the next however long

Abermore: no comic on any horizon I can see to much to do ATM for me to comit to a comic story/strip
 
Wedge: you could probably make a model out of it, just  make the ends flat with a texture that has tranparencys to give the detail

Newpie: and no \"please\" no pic :) sorry but its my rule since I\'m not getting paid I\'l take my dues in pleasantrys tankyakindly

Whemy: oh she doesnt run, she\'s a super Uber Flying jetbike rider lady, and the boots themselves are  supposed to look a litle like jetboot thingies

so yeah thats me done for the moment ,
oh and  anyone who wants to give critiqes or advice or handy li photoshop tips, or anyone who wants to know how I do any of my shiny piccys feel free to post I\'d be glad to share my meagre but occasionaly usefull pseudo wisdom :P
Title:
Post by: Elegrand on March 18, 2004, 03:11:57 am
Wow....wow....im speechless....thats great! The only problem i can spot is the bow is uber-massive, and it looks kinda weird...
Title:
Post by: Wedge on March 18, 2004, 05:16:20 am
Yeah I know you could do it with an alpha mask like that... but then... well... it\'s flat!  And sorta defeats any fun in making the model at that point.  Mebee I\'ll do a non-realtime one if I get bored.

hmm she does have a striking resembalance to Zero form megaman ( or is it rockman ?)

i like the dragon on the paper how ever dont give it arms chinese / jap version of dragons do not have arms that big makein em smaller would make them look more orieantal , give it a bigger head add a bread and wiskers ? ho ho and horns as the asian type dragons tend to have a biger emphis on the head than body

I really like the jet bike lady, dont get me wrong but when i envisioned her jet bike after seeing her armor and body type i thought the bike would be a bit sleeker and sexier looking. no offence but the one she is in front of looks like a jet ski with rockets. Its your work, im just saying she could look a whole lot cooler with a sleek sexy looking bike.
Title:
Post by: Kintall on March 19, 2004, 05:17:30 pm
GWAHAHAHA... more comes foaming fom the abyss with little sprinkles of evil and umm... chocolate

more work done, both PS stuff and  my real world requests, sadly I dont think some of the non PS stuff I did recently would  be apropriate here..

anywho I finished the clan peoples, I actually used a starw mat they were sellingon Ebay to make the flooring and I allso used the material another PS artist was kind enough to give me for the walls (ty)

so without further  mindless ramblings here it is in al its somewhat gloryles glory... I need sleep

(http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload0/Clanfellows.jpg)

umm as far as our intrepid jetbike rider goes bout the only things she\'s got in common with  everybodys favourite red reploid is that shes got HUGE shoes and she\'s futuristic-ee, beyond that I dont see it I\'m afraid, maybe I\'m just tired.. I am tired

and the dragon looks exactly how I wanted it to:)

as allways CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is more than welcome on any peices new or old:)

sleepy...incoherent...need....bromide...GGG.GG,ggg...gg...gg.g  

P.S Mogura you make good posts, \"please sir can I have some more?\" :P

Ty TY, yeah you can post it on  your site, its good that you asked or otherwise I\'d be having someone tie you to a chair and spend a day or two being creative with a box cutter,

but you asked...



damn..
  but yeah so long as the lil logos stay on it thats fine, if you need it edited I have the PSD so I\'l do whatever you need and  JPG it to you


any new requests? or work comments?

actually I got one question, with works like these three, I end up with a huge monkeyload of layers (one for each colour region and two grouped layers for the shading/highlights) and  I\'ve seen that you can use  little folders in your layers bar to  better sort your layers, how do I do that?
(http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload0/bikeandriderpostingone2.jpg)
layer count=28

(http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload0/Clanfellows.jpg)
layer count=59 O.o
(http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload9/LucientDAMINGsmall.jpg)
layer count=29

(http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload0/bigcomplicatedonewallsize.jpg)
layer count=52 O.O

 so yeah if you know how to make those little folders in the layers tab I\'d be darn happy, oh and is there a filter  or something that I can use on my ink layer to thin thicken the lines but not lose quality in them? TY TY in advance :)

P.S (I just noticed there somewhat wallpaper sized eh?)

..maybe I should make wallpapers...

...sleepeeeppyyeeeey
Title:
Post by: Kintall on March 20, 2004, 05:30:02 pm
nvm the folder thing after I posted  my freind pointed out the little folder or \"set\" button and made me feel a fool


the fool didnt mind so its all good :P

[edit] oh and added my new sig, whadda ya all rekon hmmmm?
Title:
Post by: Vassago on March 20, 2004, 09:39:53 pm
So sorry, i didnt come up with anything helpful at all, except: do the lines thicker/thinner in the first place :P

well, about your sig, I liked the old one better...
im makin my own sig right now, itll be up in 2-3 days!
Title:
Post by: Kintall on March 21, 2004, 11:03:57 am
S okie I think I found  a way anyhow, well to thicken anyway just duplicate the ink layer then use a lightt guisan blur then duplicate that layer a number of times,
then merge visible, its a little long winded but hey

as far as thinning lines.. ahh well

any art requests or comments btw?....?

and my  logo fetish is well within reason (had work snavelled before numerous times) so you can never have logos too many or too prominent :P

Icefalcon, since the pic is someone elses design I may go a bit further with the artistic licence then as its someone elses design and I dont wanna copy it, (tiz bad artisticeemanerzzz...zz..z it tizzzz..zz..z  z)

so you luckily get a rather original piccy for you!, and colour preferences btw? hair or whathaveyou, tatoos? heck peircings even?

more requests allso welcome..

oh and as far as the Lucient/Shadow thing goes I was thinking of writing up a lil story for him to explain to all those interested, and once both of them kno I can go and eat cAKE!!!1   FFfFF..

GARFAGGWEN!!!!!!!!!!!


p.s whats an octa...?

Keugn is a member of the Mercenary Guild, each member gets his own picture drawn for his profile, so there is no legal stuff with that picture, I wouldn\'t ask you to copy it if there was, but do whatever you think is cool. The only preferences I have is that he is doing some sort of light magic and that there is a sword somewhere. Also his hair should be blonde, um thats about it.

Post by: Kintall on March 25, 2004, 05:15:22 am
Okie Okie, ty for the \"what is\" octa think and icefalcon  the fellows pretty much done, looking sharp too

yup, not that hard I dont think, I just scan him in then make a layer on top called ink, then do the outlines, fill in the basic colour areas with the bucket (have to draw colour bits in when the area isnt \"watertight\") then make layers on top of them and group them to previous (ctrl+G) then colour the shading/highlights and as far as the glowy rings go, if youl look back in this thread youl see my lil makeshift tute on how to make glowy rings, so I just free transformed them on a layer under the colour and inks then duplicated  that layer and made a bigger one and fitted it around the other one but used the wind tool to blast it up a bit, as far as the fireball in his hand I found that lil trick today by accidebnt actually


...


actually that is a boit of stufff eh?  howd I do that in less than 2 hours?

weird...


anywho comments and suggestions on pics new and old are more than welcome :) as are requeests

You are such a good artist... I dont really know what else to say... Ice falcolns pic = awesome, religion pics = hilarious and awesome.

Part of me it tempted to ask you to draw Zephyrus (http://users.fragnetics.com/mercenary/zephyrus.jpg) , but 1. I dont want to make you even more busy. And 2. the current pic is pretty awesome, just no colour :( and no Kintall anime-ness

...

cool:)
Title:
Post by: Zephyrus on April 06, 2004, 12:59:42 pm

i mean... ginger pubes... *feels vaguely nauseaus*
Title:
Post by: Quwaar on April 06, 2004, 01:27:30 pm
looks great as ever.. but a little critisiscme, as you asked, arnt the legs long? or is the upperbodey short? Well... he might just bend over very very much though, but the right leg looks a bit odd to me

Further more, great job, I really like the background you did fot the wizard puppet thingie :D
Title:
Post by: Kintall on April 06, 2004, 01:31:40 pm
, nothing wrong with orange pubes..


at any rate I shal paint him something to hide his lower portions :P  still rekon he looks pretty sodding fearsome its got that \"just woke up and ready to crush\" feel..  ah well
Title:
Post by: Zephyrus on April 06, 2004, 01:56:11 pm
Yeah he does look pretty fearsome, but also pretty naked, i cant take him seriously, even if he threatened to kill me...

Quwaar, the body looks smaller because he is sort of hunching and turning his right shoulder into the viewer.
Title:
Post by: Kintall on April 06, 2004, 02:25:21 pm
well seeing as you all are a bunch of prudes, who\'d have thought a 6 foot naked scotsman would make so many blush :P

here is the nutter, clothed

About the scotchman: I like both the versions, just a little comment on the clothed version.
I would expect that pants on an eastern martial arts master, not on an insane scotchman, maybe remove the outer pants. That way he only wears it like it\'s a normal pants.

Edit.
And about the angel: I expect an angel to have more white, bit yellow wings. Or transparent wings (glass-like).

Keep up the good work! :)

ty ty,

Skizzik: Its a gift, and a curse, wrapped in rich creamery butter...

azeazezar: ther are but 2 small problems, one I dont know how to make animated gif\'s and two: you didnt say please. Manners are important you know

Zinder: spot on, the reason being that I Inked the wrong like in, the hair is supposed to go behind the hammer

Thardin: well the pants were a rush job, strangely the \"layer set\" that I made them in comes with its own opacity slider, 50% opacity on the pants is as funny as hell, think arabian belly dancer with beard and hammer :)
and its not an angel its a rude greek young man (my friend)

icefalcon:Yw, me I stil think he looks WAY better naked but hey..


and no comments on the vacationing Lucient?

oh by the way, if theres any devs looking here at my stuff give a toot, I\'m just curious if my stuff has anyones atention game wise
Title:
Post by: tybrus on April 07, 2004, 03:28:23 am
Beautiful work kintall. I greatly admire your artistic abilities.

I would like to make a request:  If you have seen the video released by the devs could you make a battle scene. The combatants would be one of the monsters contained in the video and a female dermorian (elivsh race).  I was thinking of having the dermorian use claws as her primary weapons and have Earthen magical abilities.  Mainly i have envisioned the monster partially entangled in vines and the dermorian charging to attack.  

Any of these ideas can be changed as you see fit for it is your creation.  If you have not seen the video it is posted in the news section of the PS website.

thanks

and as far as more to life I\'m currently so damn busy I am having to make appointments to scratch myself theres a lot to life, too much in fact

and tybrus I just now had an idea for your request, but well the semester just finished and I\"ve come back from a really lame student protest so yeah...relaxing=me :) might read another few imageready tutes by self important droobss... sigh.. BEEF!!

I got about 20MB left on my ftp. I got 1GB data transfer per month, so that should be sufficient.

The address would be:
http://home.planet.nl/~eetge000/Kintall/Name_of_picture.extension

Use the email-address found below my posts to mail me your page/pictures.

It is alright by me if you mailed me an index.html and your pictures in a zip file or something like that.

I check my mail a few times per day, so they will be on rather fast.

Post by: Dameon on April 08, 2004, 02:00:50 pm
I use Ulead Gif Animator for my gifs and make each seperate frame in PS 7.0.  You might want to try that. I know you wanted an extension of photoshop, but this was is much easier.

Post by: Kintall on April 08, 2004, 02:23:14 pm
Thardin, thanks I\' may just take you up on the offer, Dameon, I dont doubt its good but I\'m allso interested in learning imageready as if know both that can get me into a digital arts job (photoshop imageready are commonrequirements for that line of work) so its good to learn the biggies

comments suggestions ensue...

I can?t give you my characters name, here (I like anonymity in game) but I am an Enki Male, gray, green eyes and have a history posted on the Rangers page.
Tattoos/Fur paintings are really cool and staves?staves rule!!
Yep that?s it. I?ve been sitting on it about three months or so and I feel the waters of CB warming up so?

Wow, you never cease to amaze me. I think that I might be the only one who has not made a request.

If you could please (and if you find the time) make a Ynnwn facing foreward (towards the comp screen) with a black, open robe with a hood (not being worn). Could you make the arms down with the palms also facing the screen at about 20 degree angles from the body. Also, could you make some swirlyish tatoos on his chest? Thank you.

dameon, I\'d be glad to
Quwaar, you can...  just  practice and it willl happen. Hell I still think my stuff looks hap hazard, crap and amateurish when I see artists like Masamune Shirow, Satoshi Urushihara or  Yoshiyuki Sadamoto (sadly the list goes on...)
so yeah all we can do is practice and hopefully get better everyday...

Kintall... There\'s Always A Bigger Fish ^^

My problem is depth in a drawing... Things tend to get out of perspective
Title:
Post by: XpYtZ on April 14, 2004, 07:40:38 am
Use perspective lines Q. I know it feels like you are in third grade again (or sixth depending) but they help a lot. I do architecture ?strait lines :)- and without perspective lines it would be a wreck. A train wreck even.
Bye the way, Kintall, did I mention that the wallpaper is awesome. AWSOME!
Title:

and since peoples like the walls I\'ve included one as well
http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload3/handsoutwallpaper.jpg
Icefalcon, good to hear keep up the practice, there isnnt an artist alive that doesnt need more

Quwaar, yeah perspective lines help.. dont forget to visualise the depth as well though it\'l fill in the gaps where perspective lines fall through

cool I\'m glad you liked it Dameon, I\'m curious why such a specific request, if you have something in mind for it I can send you a larger version of it  or make the thing for you maybe.. and I wouldnt say its perfect though, that\'d mean I\'ve done as good as I ever will... scary.... O.o

Monketh, yeah there is a less than overtly masculine edge there, that comes from two things, one is I\'m a fan of elegant non brutish faces on men, and secondly I instead of drawiing a figure essentialy genderless I now draw them female, my reasining being that female bodies are more three dimensional than mens giving me a better sense of depth to start from

as far as the tattoo goes it was actually quite simple I just drew a layer on top of the skin layer with the pattern in flat black then copied the layer I used to highlight the skin and grouped it to the tattoo layer and then changed its colour saturation down, then it was just a matter of giving it a slight outer downward bevel&emboss...  all that came to me just after I finished this one for XpYtZ

Would you please make a tavern filled with about 6 people. 2 of them would be Ylians conversing, 1 would be a kran on the floor, 1 would be a Dermorian serving drinks, andother would be a Enkidukai drinking an ale, and finally, a man cloaked and standing in some shadows, because he is wearing a long cloak and hood, is race is not known. Would you please do this. Thank you.

Post by: Kintall on April 15, 2004, 02:38:09 pm
there was a wallpaper contest and no one told me..?   poopie, ahh well

and the wall was  easy, all I did was (deep breath) flatten the completed images layers then copy that to a new 1024*768 blank image then  do a render>clouds turn its opacity down put another copy of the image on top (shrink it first) then just put an outer glow here and there and Bob\'s yer transexual aunt, oh and I did a light motion blur on the back layer OH and I also copied the tattoo layer and gave it a glow as well (paste layer style) and put it under the resized piccy of the Enki fellow..  its WAY simpler than it looks....    really :)

oh I havent started elegrands request yet because..  well I just havent :) its been a LOOOOOOng 2 minutes
Title:
Post by: Kintall on April 16, 2004, 06:36:44 am
well I started the scetch for elegrands grand request..  this one may actually take a while... its even more complicated than that request Mogura shook me up with a while back (speaking of which ...:))  anywho this one should be good hopefully, and if anyone  knows a good materials resource site/location give me a tinkle I\'m after lots of just general textures (rocks wood bricks stone tiles etc..)


anywho thats my bit, if anyone wants to request feel free, and If anyone has any questions I\'d be more than happy to help out a fellow photoshop/drawing struggler :)
Title:
Post by: Elegrand on April 16, 2004, 10:13:01 pm
Im really looking forward to the pic, ill try and search for some textures though.

There are a ton of free textures here...http://www.grsites.com/textures/ ...if you wanna browse...

Im looking forward to your tavern picture, thats a huge request...all those people 8o Im sure you will pull it off though :]

Also, sice your the expert with Photoshop, could you explain to me how I would make a good shiny sword blade? Im trying to make this picture and I am just really getting frusterated with making the blade of a sword. Im an amature (just got Photoshop a couple days ago), so anything would help...tips 8) The only things I can do is all the filter effects, and uh...layers, and texts...hmm X(
Title:
Post by: Kintall on April 17, 2004, 10:11:56 am
YAYYYY, itrs essentialy done thers more I could do but well this will do for now, it has more layers than a bag of onions, and its made me cry just as much..

sniff sniff...
(http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload3/bigbarrequestwall.jpg)

but anywho, I did find an intereting way of doing th shadows on everything, I made a layer of solid black on top put its opacity to like 40% then changed its blending mode to \"darken\" then used the eraser to cut the light areas out of that layer

and icefalcon as far as making swords shiny  theres heaps of ways, the cheapest is using the layer blending properties bevel/emboss and satin, to do it yourself though can be a little harder but is well worth it, to be honest I\'m not all that good at it myself, but my way kinda works, I give it a shading region (on a grouped layer abover the sword\'s colour layer) then rub out one side of it then make another layer and do in solid white the shine layer

seee diagram (me make myselfs :))

(http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload3/howtoshine.jpg)

as per usual comments and suggestions are more than welcome they are wanted, questions will be answered and requests will be strongly considered

Post by: Crj on April 17, 2004, 11:56:41 am
Hehe, i dont want to agree with you here. Beval, Embos and Alpha layer lighting isnt the best way to make such stuff. The best way is burn and dodge!

Kintall, i like your drawings, but your coloring style(oh, im no anime lover at all).
Have you ever tryed to color your drawings more realistic, whithout the outlines? Sure, it takes much more time, but IMHO it looks muuuuch better. I recomend you to use diferent brushes during the coloring and shadowing process, that makes it look more detailed.
Maybe this isnt the best example, but this what you can maku using only burn, dodge an smudge tools :)

Title:
Post by: Kintall on April 17, 2004, 12:56:46 pm
:P I didnt say bevel and emoboss was the best I said it was the \"cheapest\" , and as far as burn and dodge goes, to be perfectly honest I havent used it. I\'m somewhat self taught as far as photoshop goes (today I figured a few more keyboard shortcuts :P).

and I have done more realistic styles, painting etc in fact I\'m classicaly trained.. (painting photography sculpture) it didnt take. and heck if I painted the colouring in, the pic could take ages, hell it probably took more than 3 hours all up allready

 as far as the style I have, its the one I like. colouring this style is however quite new to me as is photoshop

I hope that I can start to do professional quality pictures in future..  hopefully


in other news I\'l soon have a gallery up and running as soon as I figure out how to make webpages and put them on my ftp ...  I used MSword to make one before but I\'ve since forgotten how. Thankfully my friend is doing a big scary IT degree so he\'l probably know

anywho, comments, constructive criticisms and suggestions are still welcome as are questions, requests and potatos in the shape of polish celebrities

Wow! Thats amazing Kintall!
The TWAH!!!! thing is pretty funny...
Title:
Post by: Fanomatic2000 on April 17, 2004, 09:09:11 pm
...But what does it mean, TWAH? Is it some kind of shortening, or is it just a nonsense-word? like DOH!

Anyway, I like your style the way it is. It has a personal touch to it, and I dont think you should change it (didn\'t say you cannot improve though ;) )
Oh, and I love manga as well. My favourite artist is Niko Geyer. If you want some inspiration you should check his gallery here (http://www.nikogeyer.com/gallery.html)

I\'ve noticed that your lines looks very smooth. Is there a tool in photoshop for this? I\'ve seen something similar in Flash, but there must be something like that in Photoshop as well.

Constructive criticism about you latest masterpiece: The chair to the lower right doesn\'t look right in perspective if you compare with the chair the blue Enkidukai is sitting on, but that\'s the only error I can find.

Hehe, and that Hawaii-drink was a very funny add-on to the \"mystic stranger\" sitting at the table. A very parodical and funny image overall (and nice over-dimensioned beer-glasses btw. ;) )

Kintall shows his front-feet again! :)

Another request big guy. A small group of assassins and theives ranging from different races pillaging a villiage. Please don\'t make them look like dorky henchmen. Make them look like people who have actually done this before and have good hygeine. Oh yeah a nice night scene would do. (:  This is going to be the hardents one you have probably done yet. May even take you 10 minutes (lol). But give it your best and nothing less.

Thx a plenty Kintall, oh like your lil signature marking with your name in it.

[sarcasm]Hmm... just watched an utterly engaging docco on salmonela....[/sarcasm]  :P


thanks for your comments (and to those that looked and didnt comment but: \"thought real hard about it\")

Elegrand:
I\'m glad you like it, it was a bastard... a challenging one but a bastard nonetheless (note to mods: am I allowed to say \"bastard\"?) it was a good request though it has at least taught me an interesting lighting method.
The twah is good isnt it

Fanomatic2000:
(http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload3/twah.gif) is a sign of umm...   well iys a sign of Twah, what else
And I\'m glad you like my style, its coming along nicely I hope, and as for Niko Geyer, I\' liked the pics (especialy the FOnewm and HUnuwearl one) whoever she/he is they do have both well versed skills in colouring and composition as well as good taste in games (Guilty Gear X)
as for the smooth lines well I\'m not sure entirely if this helps but theres a checkbox in photoshop 8+ brushes window called \"smoothing\"
and the chair does stick out like a sore thumb.. ahh well live and learn

the drink had to be added, had to be :)

and I have hind feet....?

Icefalcon: He is a happy lil kran (you have new sig. I like, you ,make yourself?)

as per ususal requests comments questions criticisms (constructive)  are wished for dearly :)

but I\'ve alllready started the \"lucient throughout the ages\" thing so yours is next up

 on the subject of my next one its lookig to be real nice, everything from a 90 year old woman to a  7 foot enki to a 3 foot cyber dooverhikkie
all will be well and so on :)(http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload3/twah.gif)

and  does anyone have a psd of the planeshift logo, or know where one can be found. I wanna put the logo and a url on a wallpaper or 2, as walls curculate so why not a lil info too :)
Title:
Post by: Icefalcon on April 19, 2004, 03:47:59 am
You could just grab one off the main site...just erase the background from something like this...http://www.planeshift.it/pix/pics/render/kran_dungeon_02.jpg
Title:
Post by: Ghostslayer on April 19, 2004, 04:29:07 am
In the planeshift art directory there is a file called ps.gif that is the logo by itself.  Fairly big too so it should suit your needs.

Anyway, guess I haven\'t commented on stuff here in a while.  Very nice all around :D I like how you incorporated humor into the bar scene :)

I especially like the one you did for XpYtZ. :tup:

well i have a request of sorts. how about a hooded endukai standing behind another endukai, ready to slit his throat with a dagger. i have a picture of the dagger i have in mind.

(http://img31.photobucket.com/albums/v93/xphaser99x/dagger.jpg)

nothing fancy, just a regular pocket knife. i feel this will describe his fame rating and the amount of money he has. i really want the endukai to seem normal and not some godlike unique character.

EDIT: please. :P

Or rather:
\"Ever draw a mech?;)\"

I can relate mechs to planeshift!  Don\'t worry \'bout that. :P :D  ;)

Ok, I have a challenge, if you choose to accept it.
[please]It\'s really crazy, but...[/please]
Two humanoid mechs dueling on a large heat shield plummeting through the atmosphere. :P  The heat shield is heat-absorbing side down, the reverse side that they\'re fighting on is brownish, and looks a bit like the bottom of an old car (pipes everywhere, places where it goes in...).  The fact that it\'s a heat shield used to shield research ships from radiation prevents them, and the shield, from burning up.  Of course a great ring of fire is coming up around the shield.
XD

aaaahhhhhhhh, accidentaly deleted my post!oh well.
bajugothan looks awesome!

petunia would look better i think if the things...whatever they are... hanging off of his neck and his arms, looked more on the edges like the stuff on his legs. they look to solidish, or something. also, they look kinda awkward where they are supposed to the main body i think. oh well, i probably dont know what im talking about. still looks better than anything ive ever drawn. good job on both of them:)
Title:
Post by: Kintall on April 22, 2004, 10:56:49 pm

Tauren: thanks, yeah the things hanging didnt quite end up how I wanted, I was going for a \"fresh from the bog to you\" kinda feel, ahh wel live and learn,

and on another note I found my stuffs so I\'l probably have that bandits pic done today yaaaaay.... god how long has it been...

Yeah I think its final on the subject.. that blue mostrosity sucked...

neh

on a more annoying note, when I unplug and then plug in my stylus pad (or the cat does for me) it changes from relative to pad movement to standard sort of mouse move bit fir bit

basicaly I cant use it till I reboot

not so bad you say?

well I\'ve got some download queue\'s that are ticking along very nicely on some GROOVY shtuff so no finishing till they do, sorry peoples :)

and thanks Typies, I dont thiink I\'ve had a fan before...


cool!

Post by: Quwaar on April 23, 2004, 09:52:48 am
Kintall I love the new sketch, really nice. And I have a question... How do you make such fine line art. As soon as I make lineart, just scan-lighten-print-fineliner-scan. Just about done, just some adjusting the levels and brightness. Easy as that, but with that technic the lineart doenst lok that great. So my real question, could you make me/everyone a little tutorial on how to get some nice lieart. Just nice, smooth lines.

Or is this the secrect of the master ;)
Title:
Post by: Kintall on April 23, 2004, 12:37:10 pm
Nah, to the best of my knowledge theres no master in my vecinity and the only secret on offer is exactly what happened that night with the ostrige and the five kilogram bucket of butter....

anyway, hmm a tute eh?... I dont see why not

and since I still havent rebooted its something to do, may take a sec to prepare the piccies for the tutey wootie fingie wingie BEEF! (http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload3/twah.gif)
Title:
Post by: Kintall on April 23, 2004, 05:43:39 pm
OKAY, tute starts here
this is what we are making today:

(http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~lookit/tutepictures/tute copy.jpg)

dear god.. tutes are supposed to be easy.. well I thiought so anywho...

lets get this show on the road shal we?

step one: scetching
(http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~lookit/tutepictures/Untitled-1 copy.jpg)

this bits actually the hard part, reasong being that you need to draw it and think of it before that

so remember if the scetch sucks, all the photoshop filters in the world arent going to help any

so.. construction:
(http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~lookit/tutepictures/construction shapes.jpg)

heads for the most part start with circles, I personaly start all my humanoids with the head then the backbone

anywho, lets move on to inking, first makea new layer on TOP of the scetch layer and call it \"ink\".
 allways name your layers this gets important when your image gets to have about 50-60 layers (mine do sometimes)
(http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~lookit/tutepictures/layer naming.jpg)

now makikng sure you have the INK layer selected pick your brush, I reccomend a hard brush of about 5 pixels max diameter, but for mouse users probably about 3
(http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~lookit/tutepictures/brush.jpg)

now lets ink that wraskal, dont forget if you lines look as dodgy as a dibbler sausage, ZOOM IN you have way more control that way
(http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~lookit/tutepictures/zoom.jpg)


 allright, now that youve inked your image
(http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~lookit/tutepictures/inked.jpg)
 its time to go colouring happy but before that we need \"remove\" the scetch so we are going to hide it behind a white layer that will sit between the backing and the ink we just did
(http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~lookit/tutepictures/white layer.jpg)

now that we have put that nice white layer in place all we can see is a black and white image of just the ink
(http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~lookit/tutepictures/pure lineart.jpg)

starting to look cool huh?
 well its time for some basic colouring
 so firstly make a new layer entitled: blue (or red or leather or whatever you happent to be coulouring)
and use the bucket fill to coulour the BASIC blue onto the picture, and then the other basic colours on to other separate layers

once we have these couours done (by done I mean correect, you can use this time to tune the individual colours to your liking with the hue/saturation thing)
we select the layer we are going to shade and then make a new layer on top of IT then group it to the previous layer (ctrl-G) so that it will only be visible where it overlaps the layer Under it.
confusded yet? good it gets worse (and ignore the fireball for now)

(http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~lookit/tutepictures/shading.jpg)

so now that we have made the shading layer and we have it selected theres one more thing to do before we shade, we pick a light source to shade by, for this  I\'m going to use the fireball there as a light source (how to make fireballs is a separate tute okies)
so now tha we know what our light source is lets shade!

Title:
Post by: Kintall on April 23, 2004, 05:48:53 pm
(http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~lookit/tutepictures/shaded.jpg)

and then we make another layer and group it as well (dont worry you cant group to an allready grouped layer)
and this one will be our highlight layer


(http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~lookit/tutepictures/highlighted.jpg)


okies you undser stand well enough?

wel do the rest of the basic colour layers anyway

you should end up with something like (hopefully better than) this:
(http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~lookit/tutepictures/finnnish.jpg)

after that, add whatever effects you want  and ahoy matey ye al done !!!

Edit: I say we see ow big we can make one thread...break a record or something :D

Well this isnt the finished bandit pic but it is a request. its my design for one of the dueling mecha\'s monketh asked for, and just to make sure that this giant robot battle is still within the realms of planeshiftieness this Mecha is named ...


(http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~lookit/SWScan000001.jpg)

and is styled after its \"namesake\"

(its an Enki)

the actual picture of the duel will take some time as mechas are complicated and since they are mechanical theres not as much leeway on composition accuracy so they take a while if they are complicated..

Very organic looking.  At first I thought the shield was it\'s head. :P

Can\'t wait to see the opposing mech!

I guess I could request that picture now...
OK, we (The Mercenary Guild) needs a new picture for our main page. Could you make a variety of characters posing, holding different weapons, maybe one has a sword, one has a bow, one doing magic, one has an axe, and one a dagger (something like that). Could you make them have a serious expression on their face too. Anyway, if you have time and you feel like doing a big project...here it is.

The Mercenary Guild would be eternally grateful, Oh great master of Photoshop...
*bows down to Kintall*  :D
Title:

master of photoshop, hell diggity damn no, I got stuck in fullscreen mode today, and couldnt get out of it..

and hmmm biggum requestums lately....


ahhh well it\'l get me working anywho

oh and I finished this darn infernal bandit picture, arg grrr etc..


(http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~lookit/bandits.jpg)

 as far as the mercenary guild thing is concerned, sure it doesnt sound  like a bad request at all, about how many people were you thinking like 4 or 10 or 3 or even 7?


anywho, comments and suggestions are welcome, even if you dont think you can just post a comment, criticism (constructive) or other. if its spam the mods will delete it anyway so why worry ?

Post by: TheRedMonk on April 25, 2004, 12:53:06 pm
Icefalcon, why would the you want Kintall (even if his a great artist) to make you a pic when you have 2 members that are fine artists??? Might do some bad comercial for your artists...

The whole duel-on-a-heat-shield-falling-through-the-atmosphere was from a daydream of mine.  :P

Failed Mission
\"I am a God.  Beg, bow down and worship me and I will stop this massacre.\"
Will he really do this?  \"I bow in worship of e, great Tim.\" *bows*
\"That is not sufficient.\" *pulls out what looks like a detonator and clicks it*
*platform jets push it downward slowly*
\"Soon all the souls of the people of this world shall be mine!\"
\"Where\'s the old Tim I knew back at the Academy?\"
\"He is dead.  Live with the reality you see before you today.\"
It\'s...  past the point of no-return... \"Stop this Insanity now Tim, or I\'ll have to eliminate your threat.\"
\"You cannot stop me, I am a god, and gods cannot be killed.  All these people will die, their souls are mine.  Your soul belongs to me.\"
\"Grrr-RAAA!  I\'ll kill you!  You !\"
Panicked Captain: \"He used some sort of jammer on our guns, you\'re going to have to destroy the platform manually.\"

Etc...

Tim sounds like Annah, don\'t you think? :P

good job on all the latest work kintall!  bandit thing looks awesome, and thanks for the tutorial, i think it will help me alot, and thanks to whoever requested it (to lazy to back click lol), btw, how do you do ur shading, do you just use darker or lighter colors on seperate layers(i think thats the way ur tute explained it, and thats the way it looks like on your pics) or do you ever use the dodge tool, and on redish colors do you use the burn tool to make it darker?

Yes Im sure, We were discussing what to do with the main page and someone said we should get you to do us a picture. Empanao and Keung are good artists, but they do sketches only. We wanted something with color ;) Nobody will feel offended or anything...
I was thinking about 5 people... each with different weapons. Maybe make them a variety of races too, a kran, an elf, a klyros. Do what you like :]

Elegrand: to the Max eh? I\'l tell my uncle he should be forewarned

Monketh: whever he/she is I like Annah better, I hate the name Tim, soding jerk still hasnt picked up his fridge
 

Klabar:I umm.. dont think I\' join deviant art, they dont let you log in unless you enable their tracking cookie, they want me to pay to get the features happening and ther are parts of the agreement I REALLY dont like.. heres one:

 \"Artist hereby grants to deviantART
a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license\"



I dont like the sound of that...

Tauren:Good I\'m glad you like em, and I do hope it helps, as far as my shading goes I either have a layer with the shading colour on the grouped layer, or if I want to tune the colour a bit later I use a layer of gray on top and use the multiply blending mode, (and screen for highlights) that way when I use hue and saturation the colours match up :)

Icefalcon: okie dokie peoples a commin

and its cold here, and the cats are loud..

on a more positive note however, I\'m going to have a really nice breakfast

anyway, I\'m still working on that mech duel (will take while seriously) and I\'ve done a scetch up of the mercenary guild main page piccy thingie wingie doodly woodly BEFF!!!!

inkings nearly done: see piccy

sweet firey monkeygods this ones going to take a while and to top it off today I ate heaps of this heavily discounted meat thing that had artificial smoke flavour and all sorts of other odd weirdness.. I feel ill.

whats the moral you ask?
NEVER eat meat that says \"just heat and serve\" and has been discounted to less than a quarter of the normal price...

gechth!

One question; Why does the Kran have those rune thingies running all over him? I mean, they look really cool, but what are they?

Again, nice work ;)
Title:
Post by: Kintall on April 29, 2004, 06:42:55 pm
I\'m glad you like it, I\'m surprised at the somewhat limited amound of responses to this lil pic considering how  hard it was, as for the kran markings, sort of chizeled tattoos, to make him look \"hard\" er
Title:
Post by: Wedge on April 29, 2004, 09:14:34 pm
I was gonna say something but my connection went down last night.

You should be... eh... what\'s the word... yeah... stopped.  But I guess you art people can just keep doing stuff.  I like the tonfa-blades on the enk, reminds me of a crummy old weapon I did... cept minus the crummyness.  The demon-angel thing in the background looks cool, though I\'m not sure how it fit\'s into PS, but I don\'t spose\' that part was your idea anyway.

The tattoo things seemed to do the oppositte of making the kran \"harder\"... the waviness doesn\'t perpetuate that well.  Your style is very soft to begin with, so it\'s rather hard to do I\'d imagine.  The shape of him kinda reminds me of the OogieBoogie from a Nightmare Before Christmas.   I guess being rocks they could theoretically come in a lot of shapes though.

There is one thing I can\'t figure out, the axe thing right below the archer.  Where is that coming from, who is holding it?  I dunno if it\'s another staff for the mage or the monk guy is holding it.. can\'t really see.

I\'ve really lost track of your request que, but if you ever run out again, I\'ve got a pretty simple one.  It\'s a cheetah spotted female enkidukai, possibly dressed in healers garb.   She\'s standing alone, unsuspecting of the all black figure decsending upon her from above, with only his bluegrey eyes and silly grin clearly visible.  The race of that character can\'t really be seen (though it\'s obvious enough it\'s not a kran ;))  The assailant is unarmed and attacking with more mischevious than malicious intent.  And if that\'s too easy, draw it from a mouse eye point of view on the floor, since I hear perspective is hard to do like that (of course drawing a cube is hard for me).  But eh... or you can just keep doing interesting work, that\'s just what I\'d want for selfishness.

And it\'s pretty clear you\'re getting just plain damn good with Photoshop now too, with the pineapple grenade and orange star, that\'s awesome.  But the lemon cannon is gonna be a real (virtual) working weapon, fear it :D!  Of course if it were to fall into orange hands it could easily be modified for orange use... and start a war or something...

Title:
Post by: Kintall on April 30, 2004, 04:14:06 am
...   O.O wow, good responsie
cool!


Wedge: Yeah the kran does look a bit soft, I\'m still not entirely used to colouring with photoshop or colouring at all really, the tattos are also a little softening, but they addd much needed detail to an otherwise plain character type

and its the bald guy holding the axe, I didnt really notice untill half way through the inking how badly his and the blonde young womans arms clashed, but by then it was too late

as for the request, I\'d love to..   I just gotta get that P word out of you, yeah its sily but we all gotta have our things. yhats mine that and (http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload3/twah.gif)

thanks for the big post too, I\"m glad people like my stuff :)


Elkindel: If I had even the vaguest idea what you meant, then boy oh boy would I ever, yeah!

RussianVodka:I\"m not sure if its the best. I hope its nice though and the young lady in the back is there for two reasons, firstly to get the whole \"mercenary\" duality across, and secondly (and more importantly) to encapsulate the image and look cool :)

Icefalcon:NO NO NO, for god sake dont make someone like me a rolemodel, I\'m barely even tolerable, let alone inspiring, and Im not a professional, I still have a loooong way to go before I can call myself that, I\'m just not good enough yet

but I am glad you all liked my piccy wiccy :)

well I been posting nada for a while... still no one liked my orange cannons enough to comment...... hmph

well heres this anywho, got the pounce request done, its nice best I can tell, I liked the enki young lass so much in fact I made a handy dandy wall of \'er

and herees the wallpaper

in other news I got a secret request going, should be a doozie :)

Pretty Enki! :) Great job done on the spots. Sometimes artists (like me) just randomly paint spots and say \"there... its teh leopard!!11\". But you\'ve actually put thought into their pattern and placement and it works really well.

The only thing I can fault the pic with is that the outline of her eyes gets a bit wobbly in places. You could also thicken the top line or add some eyelashes to make her look that little bit sweeter. :)

And as for the orange cannon... *phears the oranges of doooooom* (Nicely done. :) )

Post by: Wedge on May 03, 2004, 09:59:10 pm
Gee hee hee hee :D.

You\'re the bestest Kintall, I\'m sure Nil will like that wallpaper, looks great.

The orange cannon is cool, but you can\'t actually use it.  If I had any drawing ability there\'d be an all purpose fruit cannon done... well yeah once I do all the animation and figure how to export it too.  Everyone will have forgotten about fruit by the time I\'m done prolly...

But no one\'s forgetting your work, thanks much Kintall!

excellent work, Kintall. I did not like the first pieces too much (don\'t ask me why, I\'m not sure myself) but have quite grown to like it. Keep going! :]
I especially like the way the eyes are done; they give the pictures a really ... vivid look.

hm.. I like it, only that purple background must be brown. Than its more.. \"Planeshift\", Also add the Planeshift logo on it and it would be an cool wallpaper to use as background of the windows desktop :P

Post by: Moogie on May 03, 2004, 11:45:17 pm
I just noticed something... is it just me, or is she completely shadow-free? ?( I can see the gradient shading which makes the figure look a little more 3D, but there\'s no enviromental shadowing. I think that would really really enhance the look of this (already fantastic) piece.

Post by: Kintall on May 04, 2004, 04:35:47 am
ahh goosh goosh, well recieved piccy

lets get to it :)

Mogura:Thank google imagesearch for the accurateish facial markings, and I knew I forgot somethig, sadly now however  the eyelashed are all in the past , as I\'m working on a piccy of a pale redhead lass ATM :)

Wedge: I\'m glad you like it, I\'d be interested to get a comment from young Ms Nils on the picture

Elkindel: I am try :)

Pogopuschel: I\'m glad people think I\'m inproving, gives me hope it does

Monketh:I was thinking more \"Forum Scribbler\"  or somethignalong those lines

I\'d love to adc the logo, but I lost the PS game files when my com went Kaput, and I havent been botherd re-installing, I think I\'l do that when that CB thing comes out

Mogura Mark Two:she had shading.. it all went away though when I was plying with fur effects.. neh :)


TY all for the shiny words of thingieness :)
Title:

Post by: Kayden on May 04, 2004, 07:32:57 am
lol, that is an awesome pic, Kintall! Very nicely done...thank you :)

When Tycho first showed me the sketch, I laughed my head off for a long time. Definitely a very Tycho thing to do...poses are perfect...nailed the emotion and mood. :D

I was surprised that you even got my circlet, even though noone mentioned I usually wear one...and the outfit is very close to what I\'d have tried myself. Very nice work!

I agree with Moogie on the shading though...I still love the sketchiness of your first black and white drawing.

I\'m gonna have to look at this pic when I try to draw myself. Hehe :) Thanks again!

Well Ms Mogura Has been given her advance piccy wiccys so now I will unveil this lovely young lass by the name of...   (drumrols and stuff)  


Iris Osiris

a few words on the pic from my own personal meee:

Firstly I\'m just damn happy with this one , its got the detail, and the movemenyt I wanted as well as (hopefully) fitting Moguras Request, some minor notes of interest are one: the necklace, it is in fact a REAL necklace that Mogura requested be inluded in the finished work, it was compositited well I hope, as for the rest I\'lk leave up to the community to point out/at

ther is allso a wallpaper evrsion of the file linkied below the pic, (look Look)


with out further inane rambling here she is :

(http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~lookit/irissmallrelatively.jpg)

and the wallpaper http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~lookit/iriswall.jpg

As allways, comments, questions constuctive criticisms are what I\'m here for so let em fly baby!! :):):)
Title:
Post by: Moogie on May 05, 2004, 11:49:46 am
8o YAY! ....YAY!!!?! *bounces madly*


She\'s awesome! I love her! :D She looks so... so... Iris!


I\'m too happy to notice anything wrong with it atm, thank you!! :D *hugs Kintall*



Edit: Oh I guess I should kinda announce that this is another character I\'m bringing to PS. :) As its already been said, she\'s called Iris Osiris. She\'s a Ylian vampire (yuh huh :P) who prefers fencing swords for combat and has a little innate magic ability (Red way).

She\'s arrogant, and a bit stubborn (who does that remind me of, hmmm....) but considers herself high class and more important than the \"commoners\" she sees around her.

She\'s also evil aligned. Although, she\'s not sadistic... she\'s just the type of person who\'d feel a pang of hunger and decide to grab the next innocent being who happens to pass her by. :P Of course, she doesn\'t consider this abduction or assault... just getting \"a quick bite to eat\". :D

She wears my rl dagger necklace which, along with Moogie\'s cross necklace, represents one side of me. :P The evil side of course.

Post by: Kintall on May 05, 2004, 01:39:33 pm

anywho,  thats my bit :)

more comments etc are as allways encouraged..

Post by: Wedge on May 05, 2004, 07:50:43 pm
Isis Osiris is a horrible name =P.  And you better hope there is some health draining spells/skills now.

About the artwork though... ummmm.... wow.  The jacket is very Alucard-ish, which I spose\' is great for a vampire.  If she prefers fencing, why does she have a giant soul sucking scythe though?  Oh well, it looks real cool anyway.  The mummy-wrap for a shirt is neat... though seems a bit odd for the otherwise elegant outfit.  She looks so sweet for an evil vampire though... maybe shows off some fangs a little?  And of course I\'d be remiss to not mention this is certainly your most... errr... shapely character yet.  But I\'m gong to stop staring at her mid-riff eventually... y\'know... just examining the tatoo... really..............................huzahwah!  Errr yeah and the scribblies outlines in the background are niftiness too.
Title:
Post by: Kintall on May 06, 2004, 03:09:52 am
Iris O siris is a nice name, its got nice soundy repeatyness (theres a word for that I\'m sure) and midriff you say...  seriusly though well I have been wanting to show off the tattoo, its quite nice, during a rough bit in my life I did tattoo designs to fill in the gaps in my rent so I allways feel nice drawing tattoos

(http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~lookit/irismiddle.jpg)
and heres a SFX lookit at the whole tat:)

(http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~lookit/tatglow.jpg)
and I did another lil gif thingie, this iones quitye cute too I hope

(http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~lookit/fireballg.gif)

and Redmonk I\'l do a request for you seeing as you asked so nicely, what were you thinking of?

anywho, more commenst or questions about iris or any older works are all more than welcome :)
Title:
Post by: Kintall on May 06, 2004, 07:39:09 am
well I jusyt posted up all my stuff on the wheel of wishie washies (J/K) and hopefully some nice people will go and put scores towards my shtuffs

and I was thinking about this character of mine, hesa a Large metal mercenary, and I wanted a design to put on his back to show his mercenary nature, this is what I came up with..
(http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~lookit/forceforcash copy.jpg)

if the merc guild wants use of it feel free, anywho
thats my bit:)

and I just drew this, I\'m not sure but I thinkit s a symbol for something..  dont know what though
(http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~lookit/EYE copy.jpg)
Title: wow!
Post by: TheRedMonk on May 06, 2004, 09:06:33 am
OMG you are so nice Kintall :D
The idea is pretty much like the mercenary pic...but the pic should be pretty different.

Id like a pic of the Ashes members, a rogue, a blind monk (with red robes and black eyes:)),archer with magic arrows, pirate with dual swords, a klyros healer and a fighter with sword and shield...it should look like they are running into battle or storming a place...check pic below!

(http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload3/groupiejbluegood.jpg)

just a little like that and it should be good ;)

Hmm not much of an update... life re-thinking, whether I wanna be a Nurse or not, or whether to scrap what I\'ve done this year and do a Design degree for the next 3 years..

much reflection and thought is needed on the matter, no piccys for a while that means. I really gotta do some thinking about where my life is headed..
Title:
Post by: Wedge on May 07, 2004, 01:32:30 pm
Nurse, artist, even nurse-artist.  I\'m sure you\'ll be making people happy whatever you decide.  Hope you get everything sorted out fine, and even if you never do another piece, thanks a ton for all this great work you\'ve done for us.

Post by: Vengeance on May 08, 2004, 07:28:10 am
Dammit Kintall, why has no one mentioned you to me before?  ;-)

I never really look at the art forum because I basically see a bunch of swords, etc.  Or I look at specific things if Mogura posts a pic and tells me the url or something.  But now I just went through 21 pages of your work and everyone\'s ooh\'s and aah\'s over it, and I totally agree:

Oooooh!  Aaaah!

Seeing all the pages in a row, I can definitely see your progression--at least in skill with Photoshop.  Personally, I like your darker, scarier pics (the Kintall shadow one, the mech preview sketches, the flaming demon boy) better than the action pics.  I also think the cutesy anime ones are nice and cutesy (cat with butterfly for Moogie).  Iris?isis? Whatever.  She\'s hot.  All chicks should wear their pants that low. ;-)  That tatt reminds me of the tattoo on the back of the neck of the girl in Primal.

So why aren\'t you a dev?  We need 2d devs who can crank out concept art pics at a huge rate.  We\'re working on some stuff now that would blow your mind, and you could help us blow all the fans\' minds.  Please find the url on the site for how to apply, write the damn email to Talad and let\'s get you started mate.

Sounded like you are doing some \"where am I now?\" type thinking and that\'s no fun.  I\'ve been there and I feel for you.  I hope you get through it well, but in the meantime let\'s channel some of that frustration into PS now. :-)

See ya,
-Vengeance

Chicks tend to wear their pants lower down here... Makes me wonder what you guys got there in Texas ?(




I\'m not a big fan of manga, but these pics are really good.
I think you should try using colors that aren\'t so strong and contrasty. The shadows \\ light should be a bit less noticed too. But I guess these things are inseparable parts of manga... :rolleyes:
Well, you should try :)

Edit: Oh, and the shadow with the white man pics were really awesome, even though they were manga :P Forgot his name though, lost in all those pages...

Anyway, good luck with your decision and hope to see you back soon! ;)

Ha, way to go Kintall, your gonna be on the PS team! Right? You better...Ill be mad if you don\'t X( And I forgot to post before, but that newest pic...was awesome, and then when I looked at the wallpaper, my jaw litterally dropped. That is by far, the best wallpaper ever...
Title:
Post by: Kintall on May 09, 2004, 01:51:07 pm
Heya, sorry bout the lack of updates, I did a bit of hard thinking about where my life is headed, and whilst nursing is a reliable career choice, its not something I like and I thiunk if I go for a reliable life decision in place of one I want it will ultimately lead me to a empty life devoid of meaning. Design however holds much merit though, they\'l teach me how to better use photoshop and imageready, as well as 3d programs and Design to product steps.. so I think I\'l do that.

As far as being a dev goes...  I\'d love to, I thought the only reason I hadnt gotten the word before was because I wasnt quite good enough yet, well I\'l be sending the mail to to mr Talad after I write this message, Thankyou Vengeance your reccomendation has really helped me :)

I\'d like to thank you all for your words of support and so on :), and you never know, I might get to have an avatar one day :)

P.S that ashed picture is coming along great...  problem being that the landlord visited to day so the place got  CLEANED , meaning all my drawing stuff got put in the proper place...  

I have NO idea where that is..  .. its never been iin the proper place before....    ....I...   ... cant find it....

:S

Post by: Kada-El on May 09, 2004, 02:10:09 pm
I can\'t believe that it\'s my first time here, please forgive my oversight and coming here so late!
I rarely come to this forum, but thought I\'d better take a peek if I was to vote for an artist in Aelya\'s thread.

I looked at the first page, thinking yeah pretty nice anime style stuff, nothing special though. But before I knew it, a stupid amount of time had disappeared into nothingness and I had gone through the whole thread - completely absorbed into your works! Venge is right you can definitely see amazing progression, just in the space of this thread, and I am totally blown away by your latest stuff and your astounding proliferation.
Your characters ooze personality and each pic almost tells it\'s own story. Kintall is definitely too big a character to be contained in pics and does demand his own comic strip to tell his story :)

It would be crime if you don\'t manage to get to use this skill professionally, but I can only imagine how hard it must be to get into the field, once upon a time it was my dream to have such a career, but unlike you I don\'t think I could ever produce work at the required rate, and once you\'ve chosen a different path you soon lose your spare time to pursue the other.

I\'m sure the PS team would really benefit from your skills and I hope you decide to pursue membership. It\'d better not stop you posting here though!

Bravo Kintall!

Exactly! Follow your heart, or later in life you\'ll end up wondering what could\'ve been!

A reliable career is sensible, but you are so right, it will leave you feeling unfulfilled if you don\'t at least try to do what you know you really love.

I wish you all the luck in the world Kintall :)

These are philosophical words.  Decisions such as these are not made lightly, but I think you decided well, and that is not because I selfishly want to see more of your artwork... although I do. ;)

I wish I could articulate myself as well as Kada, but all I can do is agree with her words.  I wish you much meaning in your life, Kintall, and I implore you to continue posting your work here on the forum for the rest of us to enjoy.  :)

Happy birthday, congratulations on the choice to dev, and good luck with your chosen path; may it lead you to great happiness.

Personally I think you are a phenomenal artist, and also I think you have improved greatly even in the past 2/3/4 (?) months of posting in the art forums. You are also seemed to produce work at a prolific rate and some kind of insatiable appetite for creating images - I can?t think of any better qualities (aside from actual skill which you have in bucket loads) for a profession artist.

I always check out this thread, every time I am here, just to see your artworks that infallibly make me smile. I imagine you will e a little more busy now though ? I will miss the 3 pictures per day rate :) but I am sure I can live?

Nice, its very \"ticked off fire god set on destroying anything in his path\" :) The armor looks like its enchanted with some red way spell. The fire wrist blade things are very wicked looking, a weapon like that in game would be very interesting.

summery: Great work, as usual =)

At first I was thinking...what is wrong with his face?! But as I see a close up on your wallpaper, I see it is a tatoo. It looks awesome...except for the tatoo, I think it should be smaller and placed higher up, (forehead?) Because it looks like the tatoo is part of his mouth twisted into an awful and distorted frown...and the little circle thingy looks like some kind of wierd nose...
Yeah that was my first impression...

well thankyou both for your input (no hes not supposed to have any facil featuresapart from the Tatt :)), in my humble (yeah right) opinion I think that this balrog chap is about the best looking thing I\'ve done...

DEAR GOD I WANNA POST THE STUFF I\"VE BEEN DOING FOR PS!!!

well to sate my urges I inked and put in the base colour layer to this Character (another project I\'m working on)
I\'d finish it but well my lazyness takes a strong hold at times, stronger given my loooong day

Good luck with your PS tasks! :)

Thanks, yeah he does have a nice high collar, I first fell in love with high collars of that sort with Vincent from FF VII, as for the glasses they are supposed to be mechanical, and multi lensed, and him personaly. Well dont laugh bu he\'s a half hedgehog ninja sherrif vampire hunter :) I know, it gets even better in context, or should that be worse... :)

Might have used a function like motion blur or something.

Eh, I tried that, it doesnt have the same effect. I was talking about the magic in his hand. Im trying to do something and thats exacly how I want the light to fade...how did you do it?!
Title:
Post by: Kintall on May 21, 2004, 07:52:44 am
okiedokie chickens heres Kintalls Uber cheap \"glowy\" shtuff tute :)

step one, on a separate layer from your background draw some random squigglies, for more detailed light effectiethings just make the suqigles more detailed

(http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~lookit/step1.jpg)

then use a radial blur, (zoom) and make it as string as it gets and do it a few times, (if the thing you want to blur isnt in the center of the frame make it the centre of a selection, like the circle selector)

(http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~lookit/step2.jpg)

then either Hue/saturation it till its the right colour or use the colour verlay in blending properties, and the colour on the edges is made with outer glow

(http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~lookit/step3.jpg)

simple and easy :) as allways questions and comments on works both new and old are more than welcome

P.S and dont forget to vote for/comment on  my stuff on LWW :)

I am in the land of Uninspired, I fear my abilitys arent wanted on the PS team.

 Talad hasnt asked me to do anything for ages, he has my email, so yeah I think that there are very set ideas on how things will be.

but its Talads game, not mine and I can see why he wants his vision to be exactly as he wanted it to be.

after all the work hes put into it  it is his  right alone to decide what style of contribution he wants, so yeah if he decides to email me I\'l gladly work up a storm but yeah. I think he wants something more \"traditional\" and thats fine. it is after all a very definate dungeons and dragons style of thing and there are very limited scope of things available with in that framework. I am not saying in any way that this is a bad thing I merely am expressing regret that my chosen style it seems isnt quite compatible with that framework. I could of corse be completely wrong and talads just lost my email.. but then my email is available through this forum thread so what is a poor scribbler to do?

I don\'t think that there\'s a lot of need for art atm, they\'re mostly just cleaning up the code and eliminating bugs.

I don\'t want to upset you, you have good art, coloful, joyful etc. but as much as it is, to me it doesn\'t look more than just vivid cartoons.
But you are getting there, on last few compositions your hand seems to becoming adept.
You are right, your style is much different, but it\'s really not unique.  I see plenty of it on online comix, where the atmosphere suppose to be playful and anime like.
Basically you draw in your style and continue to do so, but maybe try to learn different ways or something, it won\'t hurt u one bit, maybe u\'ll even like it oO

Post by: Djaggernaut on June 03, 2004, 01:13:31 am
I\'ve just look at some of your work Kintall. It\'s obvious that between the first and last pic of this post you\'ve made progress.

You know, if you want to join a game team, you must fit to the setting and style, you don\'t always have the choice in what you\'re doing.
Planeshift is far from being the common thing you said. There are tons of freedom in drawing and creating monsters and environnment especially.

Yes the playable races are pretty common. Why? Because it\'s a way of avoiding mistakes that can\'t be repaired by making too original (and so without too much informations) main characters. So we can work their background.

Now, I\'m not surprised that Talad hasn\'t taken you in the team. I think your work is good but doesn\'t fit with character concept. You should work more on texture and details of your drawing or it will not be really useful for the modelers.
It could work on some manga-inspired games but PS tend for more realistic graphics.

Anyway, if you want to be part of the team, try to fit to PS style.
I don\'t know if you intend to be a professional illustrator in the future, but be sure not every company will hire just for your style because it\'s actually too common.

It\'s good to have your own way of drawing but you must learn something else.
That\'s the better advice I could give you.

For example, take a piece of paper and try to mix some different paper color with paint, marker, perhaps even modeling clay to create something more living.
You have a potential IMO because you can express something with drawing.
Try something more agressive, right now you\'re like britney spears in music: it\'s funny, enjoyable to listen, but there is no risk taken, you don\'t go far enough.

Well if I make a post that long, that\'s because I think you can do better ;)
Title:
Post by: Kintall on June 03, 2004, 09:06:38 pm
wow, much response
 some kind words amongst it and some rather harsh ones as well, i\'m not sure if I deserve them all, both the good and the bad.

Aye my style isnt as Dark and oogy boogy boogy as the game may need, and yeah I do cartooning (which more than a person or two has told me during the course of my life isnt \"real\" art and never will be to anyone that matters...    ever).

to anyone that thinks my designs are unoriginal, [expletive deleted] yourself untill your [expletive deleted] turns yellow, and have a nice day :)

in case anyones curious I can paint I just dont bloody like it, I ;ve had a bastard of a day I\'m far too tired and as its plain to see I\'m feeling just plain crabby, snarky nasty and grumpy, and I\'ve been called unoriginal, and had my one artistic outlet compared to Britney [lots and lots of expletives deleted] Spears,

ach...

grumpy rantings...

and franky I dont even think Talad ever took the time to look at any of my works before letting me try out for WTB status

Djaggernaut :
I do  apreciate your words, and I do want to contribute to PS even if my designs are about as wanted as a leper at an orgy, hell I\'m getting a copy of the new 3D studio. so even if my designs dont get me even noticed at least the fact that I will be able to model for the next thingie will

I cant understand why you would want to change your style really. I like the pics you do now and its not like you cant do any progress using this style ;)
anyway...do what you want :)

your art is better than mine, you are good.
Just try not to stick ur noze up to the sky and close
your eyes and ears to any critisism.  I think you\'ve been
getting too much positive feedback to expect some bad response now.. You get angry :)
You are still very much developing your style, your hand at drawing/coloring. keep up good work
Title:
Post by: Djaggernaut on June 04, 2004, 12:15:19 am
Damn, you\'re using lot of familiar or special (I don\'t know) english or american words ! It was hard to understand to be honest.

Now I totally agree with Sashok, you\'re used to too much positive comment to listen to criticism.
You should try to post your pic on the sijun forums for example to see what the comments are.

It\'s important, perhaps even essential to not be arrogant about your work. You can and you must be proud of every new step you reach but don\'t think you do something that original!
To be honest, it reminds me a lot Saint Seya.

If you don\'t want to listen to advice and try to open your mind you will not progress.
Stay on earth, it\'s not art, it\'s illustration (is that an english word?). Of course we could debate about what is art or not.
Try to watch some work of contemporary artist for example.

And please don\'t take everything I said for an agression. It\'s cool to have advice. I don\'t say I\'m a great graphist, but I have tons of experience, I\'m working in videogames industry. Don\'t you think it\'s interesting to be able to share experience?
That is probably one of the best thing in PS team. So if you want to join the team, you must first be able to communicate.

Damn I\'m still writing a lot!

Nobody is asking you to quit your current style, animeish, because you are great at that. They are just saying you could expand on your artistic skills and try out a new style. Doesn\'t mean abandon your anime, just see what you can do in a different style. Whats wrong with being great at everything?  ;)

Post by: orogor on June 04, 2004, 02:48:57 am
Dues to the current topic of the thread i make  a little suggestion , i am reading a bunch of comics strips those days , perhaps  you  could try to make a black and white one , with perhaps only the very first picture in color ( for the title ) , or only when special stuff happen , and showing it in like 4 successive replies , in order we dont have the complete story too quick, and you have some time to write it.

Also , about  your PS tasks perhaps you could beg one to talad if he didn t gave one to you recently, or try to do texturing if you worked on UI stuff , or the reverse, also the PS site could use some fresh up, i am 00% skilled at doing nice looking stuff, i only do fonctional stuff, perhaps we could do something for it if talad is okey ( better you do texture stuff if you can, this would speed CB release in fact ).
Title:
Post by: Kintall on June 04, 2004, 05:36:51 am
Aye, I usualy take criticism better I\'m just crabby ATM, I was more so last night.

and I\'m not shirty [note spelling] at anyone its just I get defensive when I\'m shirty [note spelling] and I hate Britney [unless you got a good working knowledge of animal husbandry you wont understant these expletives anyway.. deleted] spears

and I\'m well aware of the need for growth, but I dont feel I wish to do it in a classical painting  direction, when I did my fine arts degree (that means I\'m an adept painter sculptor and photographer) all the people there who painted as their chosen feild were the biggest bunch of \"sexual self gratifiers\", and I just didnt enjoy it..    

and if talad wants me he can bloody well email me, and this time if he dont say even please or thankyou I\'l tell him to go stand on his head in a pigpen, he may be the leader of this project but it wouldnt kill him to be polite. his english may be \"unique\" but hell the first thing I learnt in japanese class was \"Arigato gozaimasu\"

I\'l stilll do stuff here when I can. in recent news it looks like I may be able to get a stable paying job as the art department for the university magazine,,  its a start

and once I\'m a 3d dooer I\'l be all moddeling ee

and just so were clear I\'m not shrty [note spellling] with anyone anyone,  I was just ranting off some steam

best to all of ya :)
Title:
Post by: XpYtZ on June 04, 2004, 07:21:42 pm
Shirty?

I have always liked your style Kintail. Until the recent Dev matters I thought you were more interested in animation or illustration than modeling or doing concept art anyhow. I suppose I was wrong. I?m sure that we would all love to see what other styles you have hidden up your sleeves.
Don?t take any of it two personally, I know it?s your creation and it cuts like hell when it gets criticized but it can be a motivating factor. I also know I?m preaching to the choir, but its all these years of laboriously learning to be a writer. Criticism (and my inability to receive it properly) is the only reason I have not posted any stories in the forums. At least you have the (reproductive organ)s to post your practice. :))
Just some rambling thoughts.

Post by: Niber on June 06, 2004, 07:31:18 pm
Kintall,
We all get mad at our prospect-managers some times.
I remember getting pretty pissed at Boonet when he was managing for mine. (about a year ago)

And I\'m very happy now that I didn\'t complain and instead took his hard words and tried to make it impossible to say that again about my work.
so after 2 month I got my first \"not bad, keep going with that\" and ever since there is less and less things to complain about.

Talad is not a artist though, but he can see the diffrent between what\'s nice and what is not. and that\'s really the whole point of managing.
When you have created something that have taken time your brain will try to convince you that it\'s nice (even if it\'s far from perfect, becouse the brain wants pleasure and avoid dissapoinment) that\'s why it can be tough to hear from the manager whos whole point is to spot what\'s wrong with the work.

I think aarobber wants you to do stuff for him so Talad will probebly not be the one managing your future task anyway..

Title:
Post by: Kintall on June 09, 2004, 01:57:08 pm
Daydreams, thats where I get all my ideas..

still no email from talad man, ahh well if he needs me/ knows I exist he may mail me...

all is well with the world :)
Title:
Post by: Abemore on June 10, 2004, 03:31:22 am
Those must be pretty vivid daydreams.
Even if I concentrate really hard, I still can\'t remember what hair looks like, so I need another picture to remind me.  Even then, I\'m not able to think of more than one style of hair, and you seem to have a pretty good resume of different hair styles...  I think should stop talking about hair now.  People are going to think I\'m obsessed with hair.  HAIR!!!!!  :P

Anyway, man, you\'ve got the skills.  If Talad doesn\'t want to take advantage of them, I\'m sure there are lots of other places that will.  In my experience, artists are alway difficult to find.  But since we already know where you are, we are ahead of game. :)

Hey Kintall, forget about the whole thing with being on the PS team, you haven\'t showed us any new work in...a month, at least. Just drop the thing with Talad and go back to what you were doing. No problem, Im sure your imagination hasn\'t run out, whip up some more uber anime pics 8)  :D

Unless of course you did get an Email from Talad which is preventing you to post, which is fine too...

Title:
Post by: Kintall on June 30, 2004, 08:54:41 pm
lol wow this old topic got dug up eh?

well I guess I owe you lot a slight explination for the art drought



put simply the team doesnt seem to need/want/remember me and I dont really mind

Planeshift not having a working game behind it just dony hold my attention for all that long, and its all well and good to say its a community game but lets face it: if Talad dont want something in HIS game, it never will be.

and you know what, thats totaly fair He\'s probably been on this project for longer than anyone and its HIS baby and I respect that

and as far as the PT world to twiddle drawings of, I gotta say its very limiting and not all that original

yes I know it doesnt have dragons, NOT having things doesnt make it original. its al been done anyway, the best you can hope for is to do your own original path along the well trodden ground

 I know I\'l cop a lot of flames etc but really I have enough respect for this board to at least give it my honesty instead of just saying some BS to cover the fact that this thing is not the most original thing since sliced bread and there is a very real chance that after all is said and done the game may just.. suck, ther are games that have had more money and more talented people (ones getting paid) behind them and still sucked

and on the note of hacking, I played a game called \"Phantasy Star Online\" I really liked it, but the amount of people that figured out how to hack that game was ludicrus, as was diablo etc etc
what I wondered and I hope never to se with this game is: how bad it would have gotten if those games were open source?

as for the \"roleplaying\" element of the game, I really think that would be wonderfull, games are supposed to be an escape a new world. Thats what ROLEPLAYING games are supposed to be about...  but if and when the game is up to beta or beyond that whole thing will die because the players will be just people who want a free diablo and after the four hundredth \"SSJ9_GoG3TenKz\"
and \"Sephiroth78654\" have signed up the world will be full of jerks just like the real world. and thats when the escape dies

inspite of its professed originality the game looks to be taking a lot from tabletop RPG\'s namely the large amount being from D&D, (dungeons and dragons) now thers a lot of stigma about D&D and the social status of the players in some circles (ie Its dorky as hell) and the fact that this will alienate people is fine. its just not being made for them, but what if they all joined the community anyway and decided that they wanted to make it an action game?

of couse nothing would happen, thats as ludicrus as the community wanting nudity in the game, No one would put that in. but then where is the line between community contribution and unrealistic requests?

the line doesnt rest with the mob/community and never will, the mob is stupid and bloodthirsty and disrespectfull and online it gets even worse so the one who gets the final veto is the project head and no one else, and thers no reason that would be a bad thing, consider if the community did get TOTAL controll over every element in the game, Planeshift would prabably end up being about a naked woman who drives an american muscle car and whos boobs fire lazers or some such nonsense

I really do like Planeshift in spite of all that, but like all things its important to look for flaws because if you deny them theyl never be fixed

I\"l be keeping an eye out for the game and this lovely board, it\'s got great potential and it would be a real shame to have it all end in quiet mediocrity

GL and peace to you all

wow ended up being a lot o stuff (wish my essays for uni wrote themselves like that :P)

Post by: Moogie on June 30, 2004, 09:08:13 pm
Was that all because you were rejected as a concept artist?

You shouldn\'t take it personally. Apply again after CB and I\'m sure they\'d have you.

(P.S. I\'m only drawing that conclusion remembering what happened last time something happened that you didn\'t like. :) My apologies if I\'m wrong, I don\'t intend to flame. Rather, just some friendly advice that you shouldn\'t take things so harshly. Again, sorry if I\'m assuming wrong about the situation :) )

Title:
Post by: Kintall on June 30, 2004, 09:21:45 pm
no no I wasnt rejected :P, I think talad just forgot I existed. and with the amout of effort it took just to get a response from him  I  deided that if he dont wanna say please or thankyou to a voulenteer who is working way outside his expertise, he can blurry well email me  and he hasnt.
 either with a next  task or a \"your fired\"

perhaps I was just unlucky, he may have been having a rough fortnight :) I personaly spent 2000 having a \"bad year\" so two weeks is quite feasable

and I\'m not leaving the community, I\'m just not checking daily is all, you may be right as well insofar as my joining at the wrong time if and when CB comes out I may just give it another burl

I dunno what exactly you meant, but it looked like you were saying that paid employees == more talented. What, you think people are working on this because they are so devoid of talent that the can\'t get a job (eheh, blueCommand is unemployed, but thats not why ;) )? No, people are working on this in their spare time. Out of the goodness of their hearts. In between the time they spend giving poor children scholarships and helping old ladies cross the street! They are the embodiment of Good! Now the Cabal on the other hand... :P Okay, so I went a little over the top, off the deep end, got sucked into the filtration system and popped back out through the heater. But, honestly, I know some aspects aren\'t original. It\'s just simply not feasible to implement Uber-Faery points instead of hit points, which regenerate by cultivating magic mushrooms. That would be worse than having some aspects borrowed from another game (Or that are shared by pretty much every game in the genre). I have to agree with you that \"Leaving stuff out\" doesn\'t constitute originality, it constitutes a lack of repetition. It has to balance out though, if you get rid of dragons, you will need something else, like an intuitive magic system to calm people down (\"/me casts lower blood pressure on Kintall\"). We\'ve got that, mainly because while making the effects and testing them, the art team kept shorting out their keyboards so the \"Point\'N\'Drool\" Magic system was thrown out (You know I\'m just kidding, ... right?)

Kintall, you know you aren\'t limited to drawing the PS world, since people like to see your artwork, especially tutorials (^_^) regardless. And if the Mods in the sky nix that, post it on Kada\'s tavern (Although I can\'t speak for her, but that is the second largest forum in my experience), or, Heck, on my forums. (Wait, my forums vanished with a loud kaboom a short while ago, so you\'ll need a rain check on that). I for one am curious on what you\'re working on nowadays, well, what art you\'re working on... Can\'t say I understand whatever it is you actually do when you\'re not drawing and stuff...

Most importantly, don\'t get your knickers in a knot just because the art team hasn\'t needed your skills (yet?). That is water under the bridge... And... Wait, was that a screaming Ynnwn that just floated over the edge of the waterfall? Oh, well, too late.

ah, come on, always these whining about those stupid dragons... perhaps they look great but if you think a bit about it you will see they are ...boring. Every fantasy knight has atleast killed one of those beasts... they are so... common.
You are insulting my creativity if you say I couldn\'t come up with something more original than a dragon. ;)
Btw, all you have seen so far are the player races, how can you say we don\'t have original monster if you haven\'t seen them?

And about your task... CB is near, and Talad is busy you should know that. I\'m sure he didn\'t forget you. A quote from the news:

... We want to apologize for the lack of time to correctly follow new prospect developers and for not answering all their emails. Every small bit of our time is dedicated to release. We will start a big recruit campaign just after release to collect your help and wishes.

One problem with you task was that you removed/moved some of the pictures, so we wasn\'t able to find them after a while - quite hard to work with  a vanished picture.
And you left your task unfinished... if you had a question you could have asked on the dev channel you needn\'t to write an email. If you had done enough conceptart for your task we would have told you.
Perpaps it would als be advisable to modulate your drawing style a bit so it fits better the PS background. Don\'t get me wrong, your style is good and okay, but i remember you once said you have an other drawing style too... could be interesting to see some examples of it :)

I\'m not bloody whining, jeeze loise!

I\"m not insulting anyones creativity either, yer all great YOU especialy Nanaki yer just spiffy in my book

and talad has his moments I\'m sure, I\'m just bringing up a couple O tings I think. concerns nothing more. If I though planeshift was just crap doomed and totaly buggered. I\'d bloody well say so I\"m not big on mincing words and I dont plan to be. I personaly think this whole thing has some AWESOME potential and a great base to work from

as for the pics being hard to find..  well they are still up on my own FTP, the link in the email I sent Talad (goes to check) still works, I sent it to him numerous times both in IRC and in the aforementioned email, I am picturing it
(the email) as a peice of paper on a big desk full of stuff

this one I think falls to the project head being to busy to notice everything. with a project like this I can imagine 20-30 people wanting(and needing) his immediate and full attention and him not having the ability to operate  that many irc windows at once

I\'m not bloody whining winging or complaining, I\'m just a born cynic
as for the different styles...  I think that for concept art mine works just fine.

 If you really get that damn put off by the style that you cant distingish or apreciate the design that it depicts, then either you need an optometrist or a good hard look at the pre  judgements of what styles you like/dislike affecting what you think of the content, I\'m not pretendint to be free of artistic Bias I personaly think that anything post-modern is a giant crock of \"you know what\"and that minimalism is a great way of separating morons from their money without even having to pretend to try,

now those judgments are not fair but they are mine to make

I hope this rather longwinded section catches someones attention, at the very least I hope it offends j/k :P  

and befor you gather the villagers to come with torches and pitchforks to bust the gates and fry my hide dont forget I love to play \"devils advocate\" best way to be, keeps things healthy :)

(edit) AAAAND I\' am currently doing a big 3dstudio hardcore study thing party so I can be on the planeshift team in a department that from what I gather is somewhat needing (not saying it doesnt got some damn gooood people just that from the sounds it allways needs more)\\


 so :P

I guess its too late to request something... durn it all... wait, I didn\'t think of anything to request >.>

Good luck with 3d studio, I\'m learning maya (finally broke down and bought a book... I never buy books if I can help it, especially for the \"presonal learning edition\".

And good luck with the trials and tribulations of working on a dev team. I signed up as art person thingie on a development team and in a week or so I had become the on;y person who knew a darned thing about managing a project. So, since absolutely nothing had happened aside from a themesong and the website I made, I left. (Is it just me or are a lot of people here also regulars of the zodiac gamer board? I know there is an alucard and I think I saw a Ciocc (ciocc tried to join the dev team but leaked the story to half the universe before we had even finished it >:| ) )
