Looks neat so far, Tzu

Shows how often I play Dervish :P

OT: been playing around with the pen tool and line art a bit more as this is the first project that I've used it. Progress of the redraw of Melandru is here: http://twitpic.com/s4qjl The nose and eye are bugging me, other than that I'm pretty happy.

the video is up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRevGIgM8fs

thanks again, Tzu, for the Christmas carol suggestion. I think that adds a lot to the GW2 part

I don't know where to ask this question and google failed me so I'll try here

How can you delete part of picture in photoshop that is outside the canvas?

Minami · Dec 05, 2009, 02:57 PM // 14:57

WOW Shewmake... That is awesome!

Next to Kiya's, Tzu's and your work (so far), I'm ashamed even to post my doodles...

Well, even if only for a laugh, here's my first ever chibi sketch....

I know, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

Tommy's · Dec 05, 2009, 03:51 PM // 15:51

I really like them Minami

The hapiness shines off dwayna's face. Imo would give her less belly more but though, just for the hotz!

Minami · Dec 05, 2009, 03:55 PM // 15:55

LOL thanks Crucist

I don't know yet how on earth am I gonna cutify Grenth

Cuz the other one will be him, hehehe

Also what's not in the sketch yet is the present Dwayna is holding out for Grenth :P That's why I drew a O_o face on him

Verene · Dec 05, 2009, 05:32 PM // 17:32

@ Tasha -

My Dervish is my main ^^

@ Minami - Chibi Dwayna cuuuuute

Tzu · Dec 05, 2009, 05:35 PM // 17:35

that looks really cute, minami! XD Dwayna looks adorable so far.
Really good looking for a first time too, I'm impressed.

Shewmake, it sounds fantastic, I really like the "factions strings", very stylish and makes your entry this year very different from last years', in terms of skill too - you sound much more flawless this time!

The scrying pool frame and change of camera view makes the video a pleasure to view as well, not just listen to. I really like that you show how you make the string-sounds.

I'm not sure I reckognize Carol Of The Bells in there, but that's not nescessarily a bad thing - just means it blens *really* well with the GW music.

Minami · Dec 05, 2009, 05:47 PM // 17:47

Awww, thanks you guys ^_^

Got some more detail into Dwayna and made Grenth invisible so I can concentrate better on Dwayna.
I found Grenth's (O_o) face distracting, as if he's silently commenting on my mistakes *lol*

Now I need to figure out how to do the "line-art" thing. I just read about what it is like yesterday

Hope I can pull it off, I got as far as finding the tool in GIMP. :P

Here's Dwayna with a bit more details ^_^

Verene · Dec 05, 2009, 05:52 PM // 17:52

Shewmake, I just listened to your song - that is really, really awesome

I am currently going about Vabbi taking screencaps so I have references for my drawing. Hopefully I'll get parts of it sketched out today ^_^

Name: Dove
Idea for Entry: A snowball fight using skills from GW Snowball Fights.
Genre of Art: Music video?

I realize this thread is well under way, but this idea didn't hit me until yesterday, and I'd like to get some feedback on it if possible. I'm making a "rocked out" version of Jingle Bells for my niece for a contest at church, and I'm going to use a similar piece of music for this contest. On top of the music, my girlfriend and I will have a snowball fight and "use" skills from in-game. For example, she'll use "Hidden Rock" and throw a snowball at me, I might use "Yellow Snow," etc. If I can find a way to impose activation time bars over the video we record, it would be perfect.

Tips? Tricks? Suggestions for a good video editing program that can splice clips together and let me edit frames?

Verene · Dec 05, 2009, 06:21 PM // 18:21

I suppose it'd be helpful to actually fill out the form, of course

Name: Minami Kaori
Idea for entry: Dwayna giving a gift to Grenth
genre of art: Illustration/Drawing

EDIT:
Aww man, my images are too big for the gallery >_<
I'll resize them later >_>

Shewmake · Dec 05, 2009, 06:31 PM // 18:31

@Minami: Dwayna looks great so far!
@Tzu: it's part of the accompaniment in the last section, so it's not too noticeable, but I think it makes it sound better than what I had before

Thanks for the comments!

Verene · Dec 05, 2009, 06:42 PM // 18:42

Your gallery is up, btw, Lorenna

I generally try to check and add galleries one or two times a day; if more than a day has passed and I haven't created your gallery, feel free to go "Verene WTF is going on" and poke me about it.

Also, I never thought this would happen...but right now I'm actually glad that my drawing teacher spent so much time drilling perspective into our heads and we spent so much time practicing it. I'm sketching out the background now and even though I'm free-handing it (no ruler! gasp!) it looks like everything lines up properly XD

Mother of god, I can't believe some of the idiotic things I'm reading in that Riverside thread about this art contest. Tzu, if you decide to enter, I'm hoping you either win or place again to keep those babies crying.

I don't normally respond to stupid replies, but these kids claiming they know what qualifies as art is fueling my silent rage.

Shewmake · Dec 05, 2009, 07:08 PM // 19:08

it must be another "costume making isn't art" complaint

/sigh
