Wow, that is awesome, I really like that style of blade!, I am working on a similar shaped blade in Illustrator, just haven\'t had time to finish. Too much study and AA!

I imagine you don\'t want to be forking out any cash for this project (I am quessing you are on a PC)...so, if you can get your hands on a Mac, you will have all the software you need for this, and its free!
Application/program ? iMovie/HD
? iMovie/HD ? very user friendly editing software.
? iTunes is integrated into the iMovie application, so adding a soundtrack/score is no problem.
? You can export/share straight from iMovie into Quicktime (recommended).
what format does the gamecam \'take\'?
I haven\'t done any ingame footage type stuff, but am familiar with the apps I mentioned and will help out with anything I can.
I hope this is some help.

Np
One other thing, \"jpeg\" is what they call a \'lossy\' format, that is, everytime you save as a jpeg (even on the highest quality setting) it deteriorates in quality. No real drama, just keep the \'saves\' to a minimum!
Can\'t wait to see some more of your art!
Think I might have to post some more myself.

First, use the axe to cut \"pencilhand 7.5\" and \"papertree 4.6\" into small peices. 
Photoshop = Perfection.
? Depending on your setup you should be able to scan straight from Photoshop, which is fine for this type of work.
? When scanning you can go to \"File\" and scroll down to \"Import\" and pick your scanning gear from there. It \'should\' be at the bottom of the pop out window. If not just scan to the desktop or your scans folder. If you can scan in at 72dpi, all the better.
? Once document is in Photoshop got to \"Image\" and scroll down to \"Image size\". Turn off \"Resample Image\" (this may change the original document dimensions) and change your resolution to 72. Keep an eye on the dimensions of your file, change it (manually) to approx A4/US Letter (297hx210w, that seems to be the sheet size you are drawing on). The \"Resample Image\" process can differ, I think, it \'remembers\' how the last document was resized, just keep an eye on it.
? Then, \"Save as\" jpeg, turn on \"Preview\" in the window. You can probably go down to about 2-4 in the image quality slider without the image deteriorating too much. At the bottom of the window there is a inner window showing the new size of the file. 100-120 is what you should be aiming for. It will show a lower value than what the file will actually end up being saved at, approx 15-30k more.
Thats pretty much it.
Hope that is helpful my fellow Guild Member

Nice artwork Lokii.
Only suggestion I can give is to try and get your file size down. 847k is way too large for a \'monotone\' image. If it is for onscreen only, change your res to 72, and even at medium jpeg compression, your onscreen viewing quality will be fine, you should be able to get your files down to around 100-120k

I like that image Lokii!
As for the feather, hard to tell, but I think it does look a little softer around the edges. If you have a selection, try going into \'Select-Modify-Contract to get rid of any \'flyaway\' and/or fringe pixels.
This does depend on how you are making selections.
\'Quick Mask Mode\' is another good tool (and easy to suss out) to use on your selections.
When doing layered composites like this, good selection = good result. IMO
