Curse

My Rit. Location stolen from Bethany's first pic, and most of the method copied from her (great) guide too, as this is my first attempt, although I did play around with lightening the lights and clouds a bit as well.

How do you cut your character out so neatly? I've been kinda clumsy with mine, and it looks a bit jagged and, well, cut-out 'round the edges

EDIT: edited for size. 800 by 600 is OK, right?

Ok i decided to give this a go as I liked all the above work so much, nice work guys and cheers for the tutorial very very very helpful!

Ok i used the same shot for every image but changed it with different effects
this is the one with the techniques given in the tutorial I like this very atmospheric.

I actually used this one as a graphic for college work, but decided to use it for other things as well.

I then added some noise afterwards which I think really adds something to the image.

and finaly lol got there in the end! I added some green and red as an overlay to add some life to the image

Dzus wins.

Me likey.

I'd never thought of taking a pic of a rit spirit before - and the setting for it is perfect.

Word of warning, their arms and such tend to glitch and become lighter in many areas, his entire right shoulder is photoshopped there, and it shows. =P

I know it's probably too dark, but meh. Bored and I don't do this much.

Ty for the tips provided here! ^_^

Click for fullsize.

Went a bit more moody than surreal.

Ahh, good old Bethanys Tutorial, lets go back to my roots!

Great job Bethany!

Dzus · Jan 08, 2007, 10:54 PM // 22:54

I don't like this one as well, the "Bound" spirit is a bit harder to place.

Edited to a non-huge size.

Ever thought of trying your own way instead of copying someone elses?
Now that everyone uses the technique it looks boring and plain.

Dzus · Jan 30, 2007, 01:16 AM // 01:16

Have to start somewhere though, Old.

Not everybody is artsy-fartsy.

Found this thread while looking for tips on posing my characters...decided to give it a try...

first try is with an old old shot of my first character when she first got to Tombs...at this point I didn't know how to hide the UI when taking a screenshot, and I wasn't paying attention to the quality of the image...since it was going to be sized down anyway for this sig:

Before:

After:

I always liked the original image...not sure about the new one...

I got some others I'm going to work on.
