The Graphics Lounge

[Sawyer]

Well, considering there's a Spriters Lounge, and all that stuff, I figured this might be a good idea. Just talk about any upcoming projects, current projects, banners, anything, really. Oh, and please don't unstick this if it's already stickied, Amelia. Thanks ^^

 

[Pincushion]

STUCK, great thread idea =)

 

[Sawyer]

^^ thanks, Amelia :3 So... xD

*Cough* *Revives*

I must say, PC certainly does not have a very large graphics fandom. =/ Anyway, I am currently planning a banner that should be totally awesome, though I have yet to come up with inspiration for the render, which I have been contemplating over all day, with no luck. -__-

 

[Sawyer]

It's best not to look for inspiration... go for a walk, go on a date, go shopping, do whatever... you'll find something. But you'll never really get inspired if you're looking for motivation, looking for a reason. Good luck with your banner ^^

 

[Bayleef]

Well, I have finally finished something that I would certainly not call amazing. >>; I'll post it up tomorrow anyway though; however, now it is time for me to get some sleep. 'Night.

 

[Sawyer]

That other one you did was really good.. the one that started off with red text and a green body? XD... that was really **** good, you should try to do more of those. In fact, show that one to me now! I wanna see it! XD

 

[Bayleef]

Do you mean this?

If this isn't what you're talking about, then you've got the wrong guy. XD Anyway, I have no idea what happened to the edited version with the forest green text. ;;

 

[Shadowfaith]

I'm pretty much a beginner, just trying to learn some different techs at the moment XD

This is my latest:

Blah, I'm just testing out blending options and background really, got some new fonts thanks to that thread you made Sawyer ^_^

 

[Sawyer]

aye... great typography there, Bay.. I'm in love with that banner <3

Ookami, that is WAY better than my first few xD so good job.. just, I suggest NEVER using scanlines again. xD they just make banners look tacky, try adding dutch swirls to anime banners, they look really good. Especially with orange and green =D

 

[THIRTY-SIX]

oooh looky at my brushing xD my new theme....
thanks fr the visitor font xP

​

 

[Sawyer]

no problem... I got tired of formatting my own pixel text, so I decided to just do this one... oh, and make sure the font type is set to None, rather than Smooth, Strong, Sharp, etc.

 

[Shadowfaith]

Okay Sawyer, though my effect's pool is quite shallow XD

 

[Sawyer]

xD I noticed... oh, and... I like the flurry effect, Munna.

 

[Sawyer]

Please excuse the double post... I wanted to get everyone's opinion on this matter. Actually, 2 things... Do you guys think I should make a Graphics Academy 3? And... I was wondering if we could either have a tutorials thread or a Tutorials sub-sub-forum?

 

[Silon]

Tutorials place, yes! That'd be amazing.

 

[THIRTY-SIX]

i think this counts as a tut section ....

[Sawyer]

Yes, but these are graphic tutorials. Meh, Steve answered my question... if we post enough tuts in the graphics section, they'll make a new subforum for it ^^

 

[Silon]

I'd like to see some Gimp II tuts.

 

[Innocence]

I'd like to see either another graphics academy or more tuts for the GIMP. I don't have enough money for photoshop or PSP, so the GIMP is next best.
