Taser's Art Thread

Yah.... linguistic barrier [mutters that west coasters talk funny]

Ahhem, well I was thinking that all that fur might disqualify it as nudity.... or maybe that\'s just me.

[Lordbug]

hmm...
I agree with Karyuu... nudity is nudity... full exposure of the body... the fur is part of the body of Enkis... right?

I tried to download the skin because the screenshots are way too dark for me - and the link did not work.

hmm, but turning the contrast on my monitor several times higher reveals some traces

I am not a fan of breast enlarging potions but a different clothing style would be nice

Hello everyone, i may have just registered, but be aware that i have been watching these forums a while.
I was coloring with my Jasc Paint Shop Pro earlier and created this picture-

[size=10](why does this remind me of Jill Valentine from Resident Evil?!?!)[/size]
I figured \"This came out amazingly good! I should create a tutorial for this.

Thus, here it is. If you will follow my steps, you can learn to master this powerful and inexpensive program


Firstly, I would like to thank Kang who drew the picture in the first place. Never would have been possible without him =)
Tom for creating TwoKinds
And lastly, all of you for reading this!
Materials Needed:
A clean pen drawing.
Jasc Paintshop Pro (this tutorial is for PSP 8 )
A pack of Altoids (cinnamon is nice)
A computer monitor :roll:
When you have these materials, your ready to go!

------------------------------------------------------------


Step 1: Start out with a nice clean pen drawing. IT NEEDS TO BE CLEAN!!!! PRIORITY ALERT: NOT CLEAN = BAD FINISH!. In this case, i am using my roleplay character Taser Rander, drawn by the all powerful Kang Holion! Remember this: Kang R Pwn u badly =)
What you want to do is erase all the white using your Backround eraser. In this case, i am using the 500 pixel brush, with sharpness of 0, opacity 100, and no step- just to obliterate everything. If your going for little thin lines, get prepared to do some extra work. When your done cleaning the linework up, name this raster layer \"Line art\". Go into the layer properties and under blend mode press \"Multiply\" from the drop down. Now we can get coloring!


Make another raster layer and leave all the perty options alone and name it \"coloring\".
I wanted a black backround, so i did that part after i got the base colors in
Take your flood fill, and make the whole layer black. Place it under the lineart layer, and you should see a grey outline. Take your airbrush tool and on the black layer, color the base colors down. For this i used white for clothing, brown/red for the hair, gold for the belt buckle and brown for the gloves. Make a dot off to the side with each color for future reference. So far, you should have this:

Starting to look nice, isnt it?
Make another raster layer, and name it \"Shading\".
Set the opacity to 33, and start shading in what must be shaded. keep light sources in mind the WHOLE time!!!
Now it should look like this:


Create yourself a texture brush to resemble fur, and then set it to a small size, around 15. Open brush variance and set the Rotation to angle, and jitter to 2. leave the other stuff alone.using the airbrush, set the opacity to 2 and start using this to touch up shadows. also use this to create any patterns on the fur. Take two more shades of the color of the clothing, one darker and one lighter, and place it randomly. use very low, or no hardness and very low opacity. This makes the clothing look more like... clothing =). Woah! her hair looks flat. Pickup a color to use for the highlights and use a circular brush, size 5-10 and 0 hardness. I used orange for highlights. You also need shadows for the hair. I used brown. just scatter small lines going in the pattern of the hair
Your almost done!
Now it should look like this
Well, you can say \"im Done\" right now, or go on and do this last step just to make it more proffesional. I recommend the latter =)
Go back to your beloved lineart layer, and go on the menu at the top to
/adjust/add-remove noise/ edge preserving smooth.
Now go to adjust/brightness and contrast/highlight-midtone-shadow
Set all the variables to -100 and all your lines will become solid and black!
for kicks, i went to adjust/softness/soft focus and applied the Dream filter to the Color layer.

Well, if you did this right, your finished product will look like this!!!

This and the first one are different, but by doing this step by step method, they came out almost the same!

Thanks again Kang, and sorry your signiature didnt survive that last filter there =)

Thanks for reading this! Happy Coloring!

Updated it to make it much easier. No more pixel edit for you Cyl! =)

[Cyl]

Damn, I still have to clean pixel per pixel, ... ....

[kang_holion]

Nice tutorial dragonfire999, it actually helped me out. As for the signature, oh well. As long as credit is given, but I don\'t care too much.

Hurray for colors! (I should color more often)

Hi dragonfire999!

Very nice tutorial and also nice art, both you and kang_holion. I use some of these techniques too.

Being such a lazy guy, I prefer to use multiply-layer when colouring lineart. This lets you avoid the erasing part. Just add a raster layer with \"multiply\" blend mode over the original lineart and start colouring in the multiply layer. Works in GIMP too.

Layers can be very neat and useful. With layers it\'s good to remember that only a few file formats support them, so the layering data is lost when saved to .png or .jpg. One may want to keep an additional source file that saves layers, such as .psp, just in case one ever needs to re-edit/recolour the image.

Thanks, and keep up the good work.

[dragonfire999]

Yes, i did notice that little tweak after i made the tutorial Cherppow, and i will post the updated tutorial sometime. Thanks for the help though! ^^

i made that using the multiply technique

[dragonfire999]

And you know i am female, right?

No need to get all high and mighty on me................!

[kang_holion]

What the f*** is up with you, Souless, if it\'s because your arm is twisted up your ass, go f*** somewhere else. The world has enough pricks, either cool off or kill youself, you f***\'n dick! Jesus, I thought this forum was nice and calm, but then a son-of-a-***** like you comes along and f***s everyone over!

Edit: Re-read everything and feel even more angry, Souless, your only 20, meaning you\'re nothing but a dot in existence. Those 3 years of \"experience\" were wasted times, you act like a spoiled brat, and should be smacked across the ass by a stick. Hell, ram the f***er up there too!

What the hell, it\'s not like you deserve an award for being around the planet for 20 years, a turtle can out live that! Just shut your trap and go back to sitting on your thumb, sorry if someone took a s*** in your food and force fed it to you. Get angry somewhere else!

[Vengeance thought about deleting this but it is such a classic rant, he didn\'t have the heart to. :-) ]

[Lordbug]

WHY?! Why can\'t we all just be friends?

screw off? thats creative like the arse nose you drew.....I\'m sorry if you can\'t handle the truth, and say hi to your mum for me!

:O that wasn\'t nice...


I\'m 15! I saw more world than any of you!!! My special magic skills with... ah, never mind...

Alright shut up all!

Souless: be nice, don\'t call names to people. If you want to say the art sucks say it nicely, it hurts some people ok? Sometimes saying those stuff doesn\'t make people improve makes them quit the activity... so shut up

Taser: Don\'t bother him, don\'t waste your latin with him... erm... your language prolly doesn\'t come from latin... anyway you get it...

Kang: :O Never saw you like that! Never saw so many swearing in one post... same I said to Taser, same goes to you, don\'t waste your language talking to that guy.

Luxast: same thing I said to Kang and Taser.

EDIT: seems like another bad day to me... heck if it\'s like yesterday I think I\'ll be dead today...

Oh and, next one gets a whack :P

Be nice, live long and prosper, don\'t swear and stuff!

[Soulless_Body]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate my fnd right now!!!!!!!!

When i was looking at the planeshift fan art he seen me looking at it and asked if he could say some things about the art. So i said sure you can. Then i walked off.





Im sooooooooooooo sorry.  Iv only just seen what he put up just now!!!!!!!!!!!! So sorry again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Either this is a bad excuse or you should choose your friends more carefully.
