It actually doesn't. In case you haven't noticed, this section isn't really active any more. So your accusations are pretty much false.

If you want comments, you need to comment on other people's showcases.
And even better, you should ask them up front to comment on your graphics. I know that's the way I work. I'm not going to waste my time commenting on someone's stuff unless they ask, because I don't go around commenting in my free time without some kind of shove for motivation. <_< If you want votes, then I suggest you improve. Nobody here votes for their friends; That's just stupid. But we're not about to give you pity votes either. o_O We vote for the tags that we like the most, nothing more to it. Even if your tag is good, if there's another one that we think is better, are we going to vote for yours, or the other one? 99% chance we're gonna vote for the other one. That's the way competitions work, nuff said. As for the clique observation, I'd say yes, there was a clique at one point, but that has long dissolved thanks to this section's general inactivity, so I'd say what you're seeing is just a remnant of the past. There's always going to be a clique somewhere as long as a group of people have similar interests and become friends. If you want the people in the clique to be more open, you have to give them a reason to do so, but seeing as there is no clique anymore, you're just going to have to appeal to the individual persons. For example, I would never have commented on either Mannequin or Nitrous Oxide's showcases, but since you guys have commented here saying that they want comments. And Nitrous Oxide? Twenty four hours? D: You are seriously overestimating how fast this forum moves. <_<;;; If you told me a week, then maybe I'd be a little more sympathetic, but showcases here can go months without comments dude. This is a pokemon forum, not a graphics forum. xD; I think maybe you'll want to try Anime Renders if you're looking for fast comments, but that place might eat you alive at this point, just a tip. And I agree with Conman. Comments = Graphics Rating Thread. Now excuse me while I go comment on your guys' threads. <_<; If anyone else wants comments, seriously? Just VM me. I'm not going to eat you. x_o |
>< the votes thing was a joke
|
Yes, but I pointed out the reasons because this isn't the first time you've mentioned it. :<
|
Quote:
And yeah I complained that I never got comments, but I also said that I stopped posting graphics here because of it. I found another forum with a most active graphics community. I mean PC can't have sections that are as active as OT or OC |
I think I'll go around and comment on showcases since people feel left out...Of what? IDK... |
Quote:
The G&P heyday passed awhile ago. Who knows when it'll come back; Maybe you've already instigated it, seeing as me and Conman are officially motivated to start commenting on other showcases. But we don't have a lot of generous people here, so usually you'll have to take the incentive if you want something to happen. ;< And if they were jokes, then that's good, because I was kind of "<_<" about the fact that you were sore about not getting any votes. xD; But glad to see that you're a good sport, and that I'm obviously not. [/shot!] I don't know either Conman. xD; I don't think I ever commented on your showcases more than once, even though we were definitely in the same clique. |
Quote:

Would most of those comments/replies be;
"YOUR STUFF IS GREAT! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK." What kind of comments are you exactly looking for? Comments to flatter your work or comments that might help you improve your work or what you've done well in them. Most of the time I tend to avoid other people's showcases, because I'm not good with construction criticism. But I won't post in someone's thread just to state their graphics look good. |
Quote:
|
Hmm, well here at PC, just saying, "WOW I LIKE YOUR WORK" is considered as spam, so. ;<
I'm a little lenient on that rule, but that's mostly why a lot of people who have been around don't post like that. We take quite a bit of time to write out comments most of the time. xD; |
I used to do a lot of cC but then people just ignored what I said, when I stopped using graphic keywords. I mean another member says the exact same thing with a few graphic keywords and bam they listen to them. Even if that person themselves have no idea what those words properly mean. Oh your signature section looks sweet so I'll pay attention to what you say.
Plus when I post I nitpick a lot. |
Wow, this section kind of sucks for this joke, since most of us have our names in our showcase titles. D: [/failure]
|
Well I'm really itching to find out who posted in my thread. No one usually would.
|
Oh lordy, if anyone does enter with a photo taken with their phone I might have to top myself. xD
|
… A photo of a phone with a photo showing…
|
But not taken with a phone, my brains are safe. xD

I... I was.... *CRIES* I was gunna use my camera on my phone gummy! :O
XD Anyway, seriously, kinda a bad idea. But hats off to JD for suggesting it. As for different sections, that is just my dream I wished upon a star for... |
I seriously was gonna take a picture what my cellphone for an entry...then turn it B/W and be like: Awesome, I'm so winning. ---------------- Listening to: T.I. - Whatever You Like via FoxyTunes |
Hey guys. I was just wondering whether that 'Critics Eye' emblem should apply to the gfx section, kind of in association to the gfx rating thread.
|
Oh, that's a good point 22. D:
[/looks into that] |
Hah. Why haven't I earned my graphics artist emblem yet? (Comic Tragedy doesn't know that no one likes his work yet)
And, about that other emblem...... *scurries off to the graphics rating thread* |
Oh, yeah why haven't you? [/dies]
I'm such a lazy arse. I'll give it to you later. Don't expect the rating one to start applying for the GRT until after May 29th though. D; |
And what about mine? I know I'll never get it, despite being a qualified graphic designer.
|
Munna, me and you we can create our own emblem...... "The people who will never get a graphics creator emblem!"
This is normally where a young hipster would write about how the title has a nice ring to it, sadly, it does not. XD |
Oh my gosh you guys, it's an emblem. xD
You'll get it when a staff member goes "Wao" at your stuff and then it'll be all, "oyay" for like three seconds. It's not a big deal. :B |
Quote:
In my opinion, which no one should ever listen to, an emblem such as this represents something to a graphix designer that someone from the Staff actually took the time to enjoy their hard work and grant them this piece of pixel that mean it all. Quote:

«Has the Emblem.
I totally feel more important right now XD |
I was toying around with the idea of a PC Stock Bucket in my head the other day, and I think it's something that we all could benefit from. What I'm suggesting is that we make a Social Group (or use the preexisting "elite" group) to post the password and username to a freshly made photobucket account. Then, whenever one of us finds some nice stocks/renders and we're feeling generous, we can dump them in the stockbucket for all to use. What do you guys think?
I got the idea from ピチュー, who was kind enough to post the link to his stockbucket in his gallery. |
I would be perfectly willing to make a Stock Bucket if someone else will make the Social Group.
|
Seems like someone doesn't want to go through the trouble of inviting lots of people. xD
I'll make the group since I'm currently free. |
That sounds like a great idea. I have many stocks I can contribute right now. PS: I also have said GFX emblem. I'm awesome like that :D ---------------- Listening to: Breaking Benjamin - Until The End via FoxyTunes |
An invite has been sent to all members of the Collab group, along with Josephine and BlackRockShooter. From this point on, should it be like the Collab group, where possible members are discussed or are we just going to have it where anyone can send me a VM requesting to be part of the group?
|
I'm like the only member on the Graphics thing that doesn't have a GFX Emblem. :[
lol Hmm, maybe like the normal collab group but it became inactive very fast. Bleh, I have mixed thoughts. :c |
I'll make the account later tonight... I fudged up somehow and Photobucket is going LOLNO whenever I try to make an account. ):
|
Everybody epically fails sometime. Hopefully we can get this show on the road before I go to sleep.
Anyways, here's the link to the group: click me baby |
Link and password is posted. (b'-')b
Currently prettying up the bucket~~ |
Your help is much appreciated, CME. Just made a small contribution.
|
I posted my bucket! Yarr.
|
This is great, I can finally host a place for my old stocks and can delete them from my PC! \o/
|
I think you got the wrong idea CT. What were doing is posting our images on a single photobucket account.
|
Holy poo. I'll take it down.....
I took 1 whole hour labeling and uploading those. |
Sorry you wasted an hour of your life. xD
But look at the bright side. Now you can make your bucket public and post it in your showcase or something. |
Thanks for the share guys. By the way, can I join this? I have some stocks and renders I'm willing to share. Oh, an, is graphics's school still open? Thanks.
|
I'm bored and in the mood for some luls, so I've come up with a little something for us to do. Let's all post the worse piece of trash we've ever created in Photoshop/GIMP/whatever. It's also a good way to show how much you've improved.
BEHOLD: http://i39.*.com/2du9o0.png |
Lol Gummy, gtfo XDD
I was like' Gummy, you can do better' then I read the post XD Btw someone needs to give Ezzo the GFX Emblem, since his work is AMAZING. |
I agree, ezzo is the man.
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k284/andytoe/FireDoggie.png?t=1241607910 When I first made this I seriously thought the effect was really cool. Wow, I have come a ways since my first banner (even though I still suck). |
I deleted my worst tag loonngg time ago. :] Anyway, it was this Gaara tag. It was horrible, believe me.
|
I've been trying to find my first tag for long tome now, it wasn't too bad for a first time, really.
Might still be on my windows computer, I'll check tonight. |

|
Is graphics school still open?
|
Nah the Graphics School perished a while ago..
|
Oh, I see. Is there any way to revive it again?
|
It seems a bit soon for us to start a new one, and I doubt there are many people who would want to run the classes, with exams being on at the moment in some countries?
Give it a little while though, we might get another one up and running some time in the future. |
Oh, I see. Thanks Dukey~
But I have one more question. (Sorry. :P) How do you make signature tutorials? |
Start with a really long blank PSD document, maybe like 3000 pixels high XD
Then explain what you did on almost each layer as individual steps. |
I've been wanting to do a tutorial on one of my icons, but I don't know which one(s) to choose.
On a side note, anyone know a good site for good screencaps? |
www.oritsuru.com is pretty good for Sqenix screencaps. Others I just find on other random fan sites.
|
Can anyone give me some advice on making a theme, or atleast a link to a tutorial? |
There are many great tuts in the Tutorials and Resources thread. Go check it out. :]
|
Quote:
Thanks alot. I needed that information. Edit: Wait no, theres no tuts on it, anymore ideas? |
There are a lot of tuts in it. Look at the 2nd post.

Hi, I've been searching for some really, really cool brushes, ones that don't look to real, but are awesome, can any of you suggest me some, that are uber awesome?
I mean uber awesome, I wanna start winning contests. Well, I'm using gimp, but I wanna changes that to photoshop, can anyone tell me were they got their photoshop? |
Most of us probably got Photoshop illegally. So... just find a torrent of it.
As for brushes, deviantArt is your best bet. |
Quote:
The second thing I'd like to say is why do you want good brushes for? The only brushes that are useful are splatter brushes which can be used for effects such as smudging etc. Using only the brush strokes for effects usually makes some failure tags, they're never really used for effects them selves. I you want to make win some competitions I would definitly not count on good brushes your going down the wrong route. The effects that are mostly used in tags are: smudging, colour adjustment layers, lighting, bluring/sharpening, C4Ds (3d renders) and sometimes pentooling. Good typography also helps a great deal. Well hope the advice helps. Quote:

Is there any place you can point me to that has awesome fonts? Quote:
I'm gonna have a look at deviantart. :) |
dafont.com is probably the best place for free fonts.
|
Quote:
Wow I already found some I like, I'm gonna get them just because. :) They are called Trashco, I think I can definitively use them later on. :) |
Holy crap, how did the GRT get to page 80 already? o_o;;
Anyway, after this week, I should have like, a LOT of time. [/sorry I've been on absence lately. Dx You guys are awesome though, and pretty much held fort. Thank you a thousand times. <3] So what do y'all say to me editing the butts off of your thread titles and giving these three labels: [Shop] [Gallery] [Competition] ?? Oh, and then do you guys want a new GRT at page 100, or just keep on goin' with the current thread? I might have to make a new lounge soon too. [/has been procrastinating on that since Sorano quit. Which was like, how many years ago? xD!] |
Because of all the spam it's been getting while you were gone XD
Yes, labels please, although competition is a bit long, maybe Battle or Contest? Current thread seems fine, new threads just attract spam :/ Oh noes, just as our lounge was getting some activity XD |
I still think that most of the time you just have to use common sence to find out what kind of thread it is (especially with the GB&CG's threads, I mean its just obvious).
But hey, a trial run wouldn't hurt anyone. But that still doesn't mean I don't think that there should simply be separate competition, user shops, and portfolio section. Don't go crazy coo-coo on me though, I still remember this isn't a graphics forum, its a pokemon forum. Also, if there is a reopening of any of the stickied threads, I would LOVE to make them. Why you ask? Because when no ones watching I pretend I'm the G&P mod. XD Forget I just said that HAHA |
Quote:
-waves at Angela- I've transferred about ten PS tuts to GIMP, which proves that GIMP is capable of doing just as much as PS can. One of my favorites have made at least five tags for people who request them from me. One of the best examples is my sig tag. -waves to Angela again- |
Quote:
And GRT is mine. D:< [/shot] Edit: Okay after implementing the labelling system on the first two pages, there's a LOT of redundancy. If anyone would like their thread name changed to accomodate the fact that you've got [shop] or [gallery] in front of your thread title now, please post here. Because if you PM me, I'll be annoyed. xD;; Anyway, I'll label everything on the front page from today onwards whenever I've got the time. <3 |
What about the people that have their shops and galleries in one thread?
|
It's a shopallery obviously. I'd assume gallery would be in the title and shop would be in the brackets.

And a new lounges also sounds great. :) |

Prefixes would be a lot easier, y'know Loki. :[
|
Hey, does anyone know of any good sites to look for renders except for Planetrenders?
|
But prefixes are ugly. D:
And if I'm interpreting "prefixes" correctly, I'm too lazy to ask someone to go add them for me, sooooo. :I |
Quote:

Quote:
I meant like, if you've got: [Gallery] Loki's Gallery And didn't want Gallery twice, you can tell me and I'll change it...? o_o I don't really know what you're trying to say. xD; [/you and munna are hard to understand. Dx] |
Ah, I read it as post in here if you want one on your thread title but if not don't bother.
|
Mine never got one. xP
Also about the prefixes, that sounds like a better thing. Like in CQ&F. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v510/munna170488/help/prefix.png |
I think prefixes is a great idea, but people should have the option of not using them, like Loki said, if someone already has Gallery/Shop in their name...
|
Quote:
I'll look into it if this title stuff works out, because I'm sure you all know how much I hate asking admins to do things. <_< [/cause they never do it. D:<] Anyway, I only added the labels on the first two pages, and I'm waiting for all the other threads to get bumped to the front as I'm adding them. That's probably why yours didn't get one. Edit: Oh wait, Elysium, the reason why I didn't add [gallery] to yours is because the first word in your title is "gallery" anyway, and I thought it was somewhat obvious... x_o; |
Mines actually on the second. Don't want it though. xD
|
Yup, I just saw it and edited the post above yours with the reason I didn't add "Gallery". xD
Anyway, next time I catch BLACK ROCK SHOOTER I'll pop the prefix idea, kay guys? |
Quote:
|
... If you want. xD;
[/doesn't make a difference to me] |
Quote:
So the prefixes wanted are: No Prefixes Shop Gallery Those all? EDIT: Bamm and we have prefixes!! |
You forgot contest for s/potw. xD

Yea a contest prefix would also be nice.

I wasn't talking to you.. I was talking to angela about the prefixes she posted. .O
