I was just testing out without UI, and I just took a picture of my warrior. I was pretty bored, so i just edited the pictures. Turned out pretty neat.

My first try

The fireworks are a good excuse for screenshots

Here's Asanj, my ritualist. I took this shot rather quick as my team was waiting for someone to join up.

I think I took the pic too far away from my character but zoomin makes it look worse.

Tell me what you think.

@ Bethany: This is a very good thread. Thank you for sharing your techniques with us. Some really nice pictures here.

I think the picture looks good, however I would suggest that you crop/remove the sides and some of the top, all that darkness isn't necessary.

Bethany · Jul 05, 2006, 03:03 PM // 15:03

@ jtchans: The composition is good, but like you said the character is too far away. One trick to make the camera "work" for you is to get your character close to a wall or a column, and then when panning around you'll see that you can get good angles as the camera doesn't go through walls. The other thing is that the ground around your character is blurry which makes her look a bit "paste-up". My suggestion; get the camera closer and remove some of the blurr around your character to create the 35mm effect or the "depth of field" (as it is technically reffered to, thanks to the one who reminded me

).

@ Yakumo: Thanks. I'm gald to have contributed to something in this community and it makes me very happy to see day after day that very creative people are keeping this thread active. It's also fun to see that creative shots are making their way into other "Post your... " threads.

Bethany · Jul 05, 2006, 05:59 PM // 17:59

@ jonny5v: Glad to have you aboard the creative train!

Also, on a side note, I notice that some images are a bit too large for the thread format. It would be nice if images wouldn't overlap 700 pixels in width.

Matix411 · Jul 05, 2006, 10:02 PM // 22:02

I figured I'd give it a go.
I used to use Photoshop quite a lot, never thought about editing screens though. If I had known it was possible to make them look ridiculously realistic I'd have started it in beta, woo! haha.
Too bad my graphics are horrid.

I wasn't going for anything dramatic, maybe a little in the first one and the one of Yumi.
Sorry for all the pics too, I got carried away. 'Tis fun, 'tis fun.
I need some better screens of Volkhy in some better environments, not bending down going "ooga booga booga loo".

Hey, here is my first attempt at this:

I only have Paintshop Pro and i was wondering if dodging, burning, and lighting effects are in paintshop because i couldnt find them.

Android Girl · Jul 06, 2006, 08:35 AM // 08:35

Burning and dodging are an option in the "retouch" tool. It looks like a white finger. If you look in the drop down menu for that you should find them. ^_^

For the lighting, it is under 'Effects/Illumination Effects/Lights' I suggest choosing one of the pre-set "soft lights" and customizing it/moving it to your desired location, for the Bethany-esque effect!

Hope that helps! ^_^
