Bleck Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 id like to know who is interested in taking over this compo from now on because this is something that i feel should continue I'll do it, Atma. I'll do it in your memory. Alternate post: I'll do it, Atma. I'll do it in your ass. Quote
relyanCe Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Hey, I got a question: do special moves that have something to do with a weapon count? like the move makes a weapon? man, that sucks Atma... If I were a more regular member I would definitely pick it up, but meh... Quote

Sindra Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Shading is halfway done, and is looking pretty damn good if I do say so. Bleck heading the competitions from now on? That'll be interesting. Quote

Cottus and Gyes Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Less than 24hrs! Get your shit in!!! p.s. Bump. Quote
friendlyHunter Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 WhAAAAT??!! You mean "less than 48 hrs"? I've got some shit right now I could submit, but I'd rather submit, well, not shit. Quote
Cottus and Gyes Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Um... I thought "by June 27th" meant the dead line was 11:59:59pm June 26th. Maybe its 11:59:59 June 27th. Quote
friendlyHunter Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Ah, I was just going by when last month's contest ended - deadline was June 27, which meant 11:59pm of the 27th. Actually, with the incredibly efficient (lazy) line-drawing technique I just discovered, I'll probably be finished by tomorrow night! Quote
Sindra Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Yeah, I'll need all of tonight and part of tomorrow to finish mine, as I gotta work all today. Quote
relyanCe Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Lineart: done. Everything else: frakk... Submission: soon! EDIT: Ah, I was just going by when last month's contest ended - deadline was June 27, which meant 11:59pm of the 27th.Actually, with the incredibly efficient (lazy) line-drawing technique I just discovered, I'll probably be finished by tomorrow night! Send me this method you found? PLEASE!? Line-drawing gg's me. Quote
friendlyHunter Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Well, if you've already finished the lineart, it won't help much, but here's what I did: 1) Draw the lines on the paper. (It's ok if there's a lighter drawing underneith it, just make the "final" lines darker). I just used a pencil for this. 2) Scan, adjust contrast. 3) In Photoshop, I added a dark grey Color Dodge layer to remove a lot of the unwanted lighter lines, and a light grey Color Burn layer to darken the wanted lines. Alternatively, you could just fiddle around with the Curves filter. 4) Make a clear layer, and use an incremental/transparent white paintbrush to white-out the remaining unwanted lines. I put this layer underneath the Color Dodge and Color Burn layers, to make the whiting-out look more crisp. I also added and darkened some lines on this layer. If you don't like a change you made, you can use the eraser to undo it! Depending on how you do it, it still might look a little "sketchy" and unclean... it really depends on the quality/thickness of the lines in your original drawing. Certainly the lines in mine still look like a pencil drawing, but it's a LOT cleaner than my standard FAC fare, which looks like I don't know what an eraser is. I've gotta say, this time the messiness actually fits with the drawing's style and subject matter. One thing I like about this method is that you can always adjust the line quality on the fly, make all the lines appear thicker/thinner or softer/harder just by tweaking a few things. Quote
The Phalanx Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Having no access to a scanner, and not even DRAWING anything, count me out this month. I'd debated on something out of Cave Story, as I've been playing (and getting my ass kicked...) by the Jenka's Nightmare mod for it. Quote
relyanCe Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 ... I'd never thought of using layers to fix the lines... I've always had my parents hide the weapons and put the scan in Levels... Thanks, that'll really help me out from now on! What I did with this one ( I dunno if I like it ) is use scan in the picture really dark and with high resolution, then use slight Gaussian blur + Smart Sharpen to make it look less pencil-y. We'll see what happens... Quote
Sindra Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 Got mine all done. Now where the hell is Atma? Quote
relyanCe Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 Ok... I'm submitting mine now. I really couldn't get any inspiration goin this month, so this one's pretty lackluster imo. Quote
atmuh Posted July 27, 2008 Author Posted July 27, 2008 Got mine all done. Now where the hell is Atma? right here PM ME YOUR ENTRIES I HAVE LIKE NONE AND I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT Quote
Davos-Moon Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 Having no access to a scanner, and not even DRAWING anything, count me out this month. If you have a digital camera and a lamp then you should be able to get an ok picture out of any drawing. Quote
Aninymouse Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 I know I only have some hours left, and I haven't drawn anything in... well, since my senior art teacher broke my spirit (but that's another irrelevant story) years ago, but I wanna give it a shot, even if all I can manage is lineart or something. Seriously guys, this does sound like a lot of fun to me. Just try and throw something together! Trying to make something interesting is better, imo, than putting it off because you don't have the "right conditions" to make it "perfect." Here's some advice from someone who quit art: if all you care about is making "perfect" pieces or impressing people, then you're sadly misguided. Art is about a freedom of soul and expression. It transcends us... even campy fanart. Artists don't get to decide if they're "good" or what have you... and that's probably for the best. Quote
