The Welsh Paddy Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 ...to get back into messing about on Photoshop.Got a photo of myself, made a cut-out of it and played about with some of the brushes I got off DA. Here's the results.Image OneI feel kinda happy with this, but I wanted to put in some text. Due to there being so many black and white areas, I decided to remove one of the layers and then add the text in the space left over.Image TwoImage ThreeSo here's the versions with text. I used a couple of fonts that a friend suggested to me and these were the two that looked best. Got the fonts from DaFont.com Really cool place for downloading all sorts of fonts.Bearing in mind I haven't used the program in a VERY long time, I'm kinda happy with them. But I'd like other people's oppinions, and suggestions on improving (particularly with the text, I find it so difficult positioning it so it looks just right.) it.

The Welsh Paddy Posted December 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Here's another that I made, not long after posting that one. xD Made this for a good friend of mine.NewThis took a lot longer, because I had to retouch the photo like mad. The original photo was extremely grainy because it was a shit camera and poor lighting. But it was fun making this because it was quite challenging.I'll also post up some of my really old stuff, which some of you might/might not remember from a year or two back lol.Zero Photoshop ThingyReally wish I didn't put that text at the bottom of this one, but okay. xDI've gone off making sigs now, in favour of making less restricting graphics like posters and stuff. But, for the heck of it, here's a few sigs I've made in the past:Gaara SigFran SigYuffie Sig 1Yuffie Sig 2Zell Dincht Animated SigFirefrenzy - FPS Doug SigFirefrenzy - Wakka SigShizumi SigKairi Animated SigRuki The Mad Hatter SigSomething Hilarious XDEnjoy!

The Welsh Paddy Posted January 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Haha, cheers guys! I've really gone off making sigs, 'cause I find them too restricting. Much prefering making wallpapers, posters, post cards, and christmas/birthday/etc. cards, and other random photo manipulation graphics right now. If you guys want anything like that made, I'd be glad to do so, so long as you can wait till the 19th of Jan. I'm in Wales at the moment, and won't be back in Ireland for another couple of weeks, so. But yeah, I'll be willing to take some requests when I'm back home!You look like a really good friend of mineThat's crazy. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Welsh Paddy Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 wow thats some pretty neat shit. wish i could do cool shit like that but i lack skillz lolAh, it's easy enough. Photoshop is a real simple program to use, and you don't need any lessons, or extensive reading of manuals to get to grips with it. Years ago, I started out using this program called Paint Shop Pro, version 7. Sure, there were some noticable differences with Photoshop, but the basics are mostly the same, plus it's so much easier to edit certain aspects of your graphic. There's no special skills involved at all. I'd recommend you give it a shot if it's something you'd like to be able to do.Yeah like I said if I didn't know otherwise I would wonder *laughs* That's kind of off-topic I suposse hijacking the thread and talking about other stuff is a bad idea LOL*wanders off quickly*Eh, it keeps activity in this place. So long as the thread in general is kept relatively on topic, there's nothing wrong with some idle chit chat. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
