Shadow Wolf Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 I intend to participate in this contest eventually. My art skills are fairly decent at this point, I started drawing again awhile back. Not sure who to draw though. Quote
cobaltstarfire Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 I've never used GIMP before, but I've always been curious about it. How is it any different from, say, Photoshop? I haven't tried using GIMP or Photoshop in well over 4 years, but I can say I couldn't get anything to actually work in GIMP without looking at the documentation for it. While photoshop I could start up and be able to do basic coloring/drawing/layering just by experimentally pushing buttons at random. GIMP is just as good as photoshop though if you take the time to learn to use it, I've seen plenty of great pieces of art work done in gimp. (giant wallpaper example) Quote
Gollgagh Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 (giant wallpaper example) a couple hours? christ on a cracker Quote
Rambo Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 I drew a picture of Tails. I'll send it to Bleck. I anticipate this greatly. Quote
relyanCe Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 I just thought of the most awesome idea! Mine is going to pwn this month (I hope)! How's everyone else? Quote
Brushfire Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Things are good. I just picked up the Ninja Handbook. Quote
cobaltstarfire Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 I did a little sketch, emailing it now. Quote
Nyuura Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Mine is going to pwn this month (I hope)! BRING IT OOOOON! But, nah, here's hoping your idea doesn't crush mine! How's everyone else? Goin' rather swimmingly, I must say! Had a couple of failed attempts at various popular Nintendo sidekicks. Now I can never love them again. Quote
Bummer Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 I decided to sit down and make my contribution. Took way less time compared to my previous FAC, but then I didn't vectorize the whole thing. Oh, and I chose Daxter. The games I'm currently playing have a great influx on my choice. Quote
bonzai! Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 If I don't see at least 10 entries of Luigi, I'm going to be very upset. Don't none of you go being all "creative" and stuff. Quote
friendlyHunter Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 I already know what I'm doing for mine... it might not be very creative, but it's definitely "and stuff". And maybe even Luigi. Quote
Sindra Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 I'm starting to think I won't be able to make this one this time. I had a great idea, but I haven't had any time to even sketch it yet because I've been too busy with other things....and now with the new Castlevania coming out today, I don't expect any free time from now until the deadline. ;_; Quote
Ferret Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 I was halfway through a drawing but I got bored and decided not to finish it :/ Quote
Ninja-san Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 I got banned from WOW so ill be finishing the piece Quote
Cottus and Gyes Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 5 days to do something quick... hmm. Maybe I'll deviate from my original plan. Quote
cobaltstarfire Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 I did something in like a minute. Then again it seems the most time I'm willing to dedicate to anything is 15-24 hours before I get bored, and most of my stuff gets done in just 3-5... Quote
Nyuura Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 Ohgodohgodohgod. The deadline. It's almost here. OHGODOHGOD. Quote
Vilecat Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 I did something in like a minute.Then again it seems the most time I'm willing to dedicate to anything is 15-24 hours before I get bored, and most of my stuff gets done in just 3-5... Same, except I don't have anything yet Quote
Rambo Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Same, except I don't have anything yet Same. But I'd be 4 days ahead of my last 2 FAC entries if I started today... and I'm kinda sentimental about tradition. Quote
Gollgagh Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 Argh, I actually have something I'm working on, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to get it in any kind of digital form. I hate not having a scanner >.| Maybe I'll try redrawing it into GIMP by hand Quote
Bummer Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 I hate not having a scanner >.| I don't either. You have a good camera? Quote

If you set up the canvas area right you can just trace it. (If the drawing is too big to be traced in one go you can do it in separate parts and piece it together). Otherwise, why don't you just sketch/draw it on the computer in the first place? Quote
