Hey everyone just a thing I made here. Working on some photoshoping skills. All eight characters are mine from the same account, and it is the only account in my guild. Basically just a really cool personal desktop. Mebbe I dunno.

(Sry if its not in the right place, but i think i am)

That's pretty cool, I'd love to do something like that with my characters.

yeah shadows are missing and you'd be better off finding a place to make all your screenshots of your charas so the light is the same on all

but when i am 'posing' them there are shadows on the ground, but when i do the screenie there are no shadows../pout Any ideas on that part?

The text is a new thing I managed...looks pretty tight. PSP ish my friend.

Shing Jea would be pretty...*will definatly be looking for more spots..but the good thing about it now is I have all my characters pics ready willing and able to be on any background.

So the next one will be even better. Every form of art takes practice.

Any ideas on the shadows would be helpful though because that just makes it all that much better.

::EDIT:: forgot about the 'treasure'..umm no i took the screenie in LA at the little huts by the docks..i really dun have a clue what that is on the ground..

You can make shadows of your own which is what I do.

There might be an easier way to do this, but what I do is just duplicate the character layer, go to blending options- set color overlay to black and then mess around with the opacity and edit-free transform it so that it goes the right way from your light source. You'll probably also have to flip it around a bit so that it fits correctly under your character.

Again, that's how I do it, but theres probably an easier way somewhere

(If you need a more thorough explanation I can rephrase everything to make it easier)

Other then that I loved your idea, just the whole blending it in with the background should be fixed a bit. As long as you keep using photoshop though, you will improve.
