SWG Tales

Sheesh. I always find these things too late to actually post anything. Nevermind the fact I can't seem to get MS paint to reduce the size of my images for some reason.

its never too late! lol.

just put some pictures up i dont care what size.

yes folks im back at work tonight. spent the last two days grinding my swords and cheating the system to get a jedi starfighter. im a naughty girl.

good thing im a freelance pilot or i'd be in some serious doodie for jumping back and forth from the rebellion to the empire lol

so tonight is portrait and forums browsing night for me.

only problem is i still cant remember my main account password for the forums hahaha

oree im inking the image of you now. ive decided that until i actually get energy im just going to black and white all of these. namely for the fact of... when i color i get lazy and they never ever get truly finished.

sai': after doing two drafts i finally settled on a dynamic one of vreese. ill upload it tomorrow night (monday night) after ive gotten some friggin sleep...

*cheers* You rawk!

nuh uh yall do im just the sharnzy *giggle*

hope you dont mind me getting artistic with your lekku. i couldnt see the pattern clearly in the screenshots

small note for everyone i have officially lost my mind. i learned to write in aurabosh for this little project

jabe yours is being pushed back i decided i want to do it again. now that ive got my body groove on.

trust me youll like it better with a full body shot. im gonna use the exile's unarmed stance i like it better than the tka stance in swg

wanna draw Whar?

btw, you can scan them and color them in photoshop. This sometimes takes less time, and then you have a sweet digital colored image

Jerrel sent me some black and whites, I did a crap job of coloring them... but my sig is the result.

Whar commonly wears a red large headwrap, a red "muscle shirt" or t-shirt, Red cargo shorts, and sandals. This is my, "Im in the desert, why not be cool, and hawt."

sure can do whar. i prefer coloring with pencil crayons myself i get lazy when i do digital unless someone wants to do them for me?

btw. my friends your peices are up (except for whar)

Love it, Sharn! Guess I need to put up some screenies of Batty. You nailed the lekku as well. It's just the oval pattern all the way down. But.. I like your version much, much, more.

hey Whar,

Im trying to figure out how to color in a image like that im photoshop..everytime I do it colors over my texture lines...have a pic Im trying to do now of my char and can't get it colored right

gimme your ideas

Thanks

i think you should go with a cell shading style for that it becons for cell shading imho

Hojo, can you tone your image down in size please? It's huge.

First- Dwilly, slow the avatar down, I just had 2 siezures...

Hojo, she's right. That Image is ginormous.

as far as coloring crap- Seret is obviously the master of that. What helped mine was the fact that jerrel had inked the outline. I always do pencil sketches, and when I scan them and pull it in photoshop, the magic wand tool doesnt recognize my lines as lines, it looks like a bunch of dots to it.

Another thing was selecting the space I wanted to color and making it an individual layer. I also linked a bunch of spaces as one by holding shift(or control... its been a while) and making them one layer... so Whar's turban, the different selectable sections of the sword, and the gun.. etc.
that makes it so effects change the whole object and not just one part of the object.

does that make sense?

Thank you War but I'm far from a master.

My suggestion, Hojo, if you want to color your piece is to first use Contrast/Brightness to really darken your lines. Then create a new layer on top of you image and set the Opacity to "Multiply." This way you can color over your image without covering up the texture lines.

Hope that helps.

Thanks guys I'll give it a shot...

Sorry about the pic..didnt realize I posted an image versus a url
