Hehehe... ok that wasn't meant to be a pun of the controversial picture "This is not a pipe"... forgot who did it... ^_^
Anyway, I think I seriously need some help on Adobe Streamline.
Why?
I SIMPLY DONT GET IT AT ALL... @_@ It keeps screwing up my pictures and makes the lines all bumpy and wavy. DAMMIT, why can't they be straight? Anyone who can help will be greatly appreciated...
Anyway, I was supposed to be doing a cover page for some thingy and ended up with a very very very below-par picture of Kenshin pressed against something (explains the folds of skin under the chin), done in a thick brush straight from the tablet without any damn inspiration.... Very crude drawing, even cruder "cel" shading... I did his eye quite blehish, and was too lazy to correct it (I hardly redid anything in this picture. In fact, almost nothing...) I simply had to try and practice my tablet pressure manipulation skills and I think I royally failed.... :wave: I thought "What the hey I might as well pop my damn head in" and here you go, teh ugly bleh picture. The ONLY thing I really like about it is the background. Now that was a fluke... You see, I *ahem* downloaded Photoshop and threw in a serial number, and er, I was playing with the brushes. ^_^ I've used PS7 middle last year (school), but only downloaded it about 2 weeks ago. I swear the brushes have provided so much fun I want to kiss the people who made them. So while messing around the brushes to do the blood properly, I decided to slant the brush, added some texture, did some nifty effects and whoa, its LINE STUFF! And then I just blotched up some more stuff and added a wet edges effect and got the not-very-nice blood spots. Kekekeke... Now it looks blurry because I used a bit of the Motion Blur filter. In the end I think it wasn't such a good idea but it be TOO LATE NOW! Awww. A lot of mistakes, and I think it would have lookd a lot nicer and smoother if I could control my tablet better, did this while I wasn't half-asleep and also used Streamline. Ah well...
As for the words, the top-right is Kenshin's name, the bottem left is "xi sheng" - it's Chinese for "sacrifice". Kind of. Heh, I kind of like the words a bit...
Ok, well enough with the babble, here is link to ugly picture. :) Dis-enjoy.
WARNING: CONTAINS SOME BADLY DONE BLOOD. (http://www20.brinkster.com/shoreii/I_screwed_up_kenshin.jpg)
I need some criticism in my life. SO GIVE IT TO ME BABY!
@_@ (you can tell I'm slowly losing it...)
