Followed a tut... CnC?
I'm sick. Gawd, this sucks. =/
Does anyone have any Namine renders? I can't find any. >.>
This one is a bit iffy with me... CnC?
Anyone like them? I've only heard 3 of their songs, but so far, they're really good.
Roflol, so what are you wearing, right now, as you read this post? I'm wearing my entirely awesome Rise Against shirt that I would put up a pic of, but their site isn't working, so I can't. And a pair of Polka Dot pajama pants. xDD
I used these totally awesome new brushes I found and a C4d. Anyone like?
I made this for Twilightsown: He was bugging out about it, so what do you guys think?
My Dream: Three English guys and a painter were walking around an art gallery. The English guys were like "These are amazing!" Then painter said "I know! I'M LIKE NOAH!" ... Dreams are supposed to have something to do with something important... So... Wtf?
C4d tut. For C4d beginners, but should have some knowledge of GIMP. A note: If you have any problems throughout the tut, either pm me or post it and I’ll try to help you out. 1. Open up GIMP. Make a new file (File>New). I usually use 400x125, but you can use whatever size you like. (I’m sure we all know what a white image looks like) 2. Open up your render. (File> Open as Layer). Resize and place it wherever you like. I will be using this beauteous one of Gaara. You should have something like this: 3. Go to the layer “Background”. (The one that is below your render.) Get out your Gradient tool, and set the settings to this: (Note: Make it from the most prominent color in your render to Black. For me, that‘s red,) You should get something like this: 4. Create a New Layer. Fill the entire sig with the Sparks brush. Hide the Layer with the Sparks. Go back to the Layer with your Gradient from Step #3. Go to Filters>Map>Displace. Run a displace by the Sparks Layer, setting it like this: You should get something like this: 5. Take out a c4d, and place it above your render layer. Set it to Dodge at 70% Opacity. Erase the parts that look stupid. Depending on what C4d you used, your result will vary, but this is what I have: [img=http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/1880/c4dtut6fy2.th.png] 6. Take out another c4d, and place it above the render layer. Set it to either Dodge or Screen, whichever you prefer, at an Opacity that looks good. Erase the parts you don’t like. Repeat this step as many times as you like, but don’t abuse the C4ds. After that, you should have a sig like this: 7. Add text and a border, and… VOILA! There’s your C4d sig. Here’s my result: Note: If your final result is looking a dark, or it just looks off, Do Edit>Copy Visible. Paste it as a New Layer, and set it to Screen. A note: Please excuse the sucky-ness. I’m still mastering C4ds, and this is only my second tutorial. I hope it helped you guys!
I tried out the C4ds again... I didn't exactly follow a tut, but I kinda combined two tuts I did, like a week or two ago. I like it. =)
Creating a Basic Grunge Signature. Tutorial can be for everyone, but is aimed towards people who are new to GIMP. Before we start, I just want to ask that you find out how to install brushes. 1. Get some Grunge Brushes! You can use ones that you already have, or install some new ones. If you don’t have any, here are some you can download: http://search.deviantart.com/?secti...pular+age_sigma:24h+age_scale:5&q=Grunge+GIMP 2. Open up GIMP. 3. Open a new file. (File>New) I usually use 400x125, but you can use whatever size tickles your fancy. It should have a white background. (I’ll spare you the image of a white sig) 4. Brush around with some Grunge Brushes. Use colors like White, Black, and different variations of Gray. For best results, switch brushes often. You should get something like this: 5. Find a render, and open it up as a new layer. (File>Open As Layer) Carefully resize and place your render where you want it. Halfway there!(Sort of) 6. Duplicate your render layer. Layer>Duplicate Layer) You should now have 2 render layers. Hide the top Layer, and take out your smudge tool. On the bottom render layer, go to Layer> Layer to Image Size. Then, with your smudge tool, smudge it a little bit to both sides, using a Grunge Brush. Set this Layer to Screen. Make the top Layer visible. Do this as many times as you see fit. 7. Make a New Layer, above all of your previous layers. Get out your Paint Bucket tool, and fill the signature with a color that matches you render. Set the Layer mode to something you think looks good. Some good ones to use are Overlay, Burn, Hard Light, Soft Light, Grain Merge, and Color. You’re almost done… 8. Add text. Pull out your text tool, and… Use it. I usually put 1-2 words, so it won’t look too crammed. Place your text where you want it. OPTIONAL: If your text is looking a bit plain, there are two ways I like to improve it. For one of the ways, duplicate the text layer. Do a Gaussian Blur(4.0) on the bottom text layer, (MAKE SURE THE TEXT IS WHITE). Then make the upper layer’s text black. Another way is to change the Layer mode of the text. 9. Create a new layer and add a border. There are multiple ways to do this. One of the easiest ways is to go to Script-Fu>Décor>Add Border. Another nice way is to Select all, and then go to Edit>Stroke Selction. Make sure your color is black, and Stroke the selection with 10 pixels. Switch the color to white, Go to Edit>Stroke Selection, on 8 pixels. Switch back to black, and do Edit>Stroke Selection on 6. Set the Layer mode to Overlay. 10. Save your image and share it!
I'm so addicted to this render. O.O Followed a tut on this one... It was kinda unclear, so I might've screwed up, but I like it.
Like it?
