In town for the weekend to tend to some details. Too bad I won't be able to get much Neocroning in. :(
wonderful tutoria, Sunny! I'll see if I can use Gimp to that effect. Been practicing my drawing a LOT more at work breaks and I just re-downloaded the Neocron Manual for the history bits. Let's see if I can't get inspired!
Sorry for the lack of pictures! I haven't been able to doodle as much as I'd have liked for the past couple of weeks :(
I did manage to almost finish a more elegant PPU PA with bits of tacholytium hanging from it. It's very majestic and grand, but too simple and boring in my eyes... I think in the future I'll put some embroidery on the empty spots.
I wasn't able to put the finishing touches on it just yet, but I'm sure you can get the general idea from what's already there :)

I really like It sunny. Although my HC-PE isnt ready I did a request from a friend of mine in NC, I wont say though.

The art style isnt exactly what I like, since we're forced to learn new styles down here at the art institute, but yah, Ill try eperimenting with it.
PS- sunny is that last work INKED or is that a photoshop trick? Im really crappy with inking due to tremors I have in my hands so I usually F*** up inking(my hands shake, its a wierd family thing, not my diet or lack of sleep/and or exercise) , anyways thats all Im asking.
PPS-once again, really cool looking PPU.
PEace out
I have the same problem as you, I can't ink anything by hand! It's all done in Photoshop :)
I'm short on time, so I can't post a tutorial with pictures just yet (probably later in the week if you're still having trouble with it)... I use the pen tool - I pick a nice brush, make a new layer above the pencil drawing, re-draw the lines' shapes with the pen tool, rightclick and select 'stroke path'... In the new window, I make sure that 'simulate pressure' is checked, and the tool in the pull-down menu is set to 'paintbrush'. After the path is stroked, I delete it by right clicking, and clicking on 'delete path'.
Simulate pressure gives the path a dynamic pointwidth, where the path first starts the brush size is really small, in the center it's large, and at the end it's very small again. You can see exactly where I drew my paths on the PPU doodle I did, just follow a line starting where it's really tiny, then to where it's thick, and back to where it's thin again!
Hope it helped, but I'll write up a tutorial anyway later this week in the hopes of resurrecting this thread... :)
Thanks, I really like this thread. I hope to get some more insight from this thread as well. Man I wish I had a tablet.
I think since I cant seem to draw a PE with any HC weapons (drawing those shoulder cannons is pretty tough) I think Ill go with some Assualt trike action or something.
PEace out.
This is a doodle I just whipped up in the past 45 mins, it's not finished, but I sort of like the way it is now... I hope I won't get in trouble for posting this, it's kind of edgy...

And here's an older thing that I did a couple of weeks ago. It came out horribly (I messed up the depth on the arms), but I might as well post it now before I take it off of my photobucket space :)
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...e03/hunter.jpg
If everything goes my way tommorow, I'll have enough time to do the inking tutorial :)
Thanks Sunny, your a goddess (or god, hehe, not sure) Great work you got there!
Goddess, Clive :)
Here's how I do my inking!!
1) Scan the drawing into Photoshop
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...ng/inking1.jpg
Here's mine :)
2) Change the color of the drawing to something lighter
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...ng/inking2.jpg
Go into Image > Adjustments > Levels...
Then
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...ng/inking3.jpg
In the pull-down menu to the right of Channel, select Blue, and enter the Input Levels that I have. You can slide the sliders above Output Levels all the way to the left instead, if you want... It might be more fun :)
The reason for this is because the inking will be done in black, and it's easier to distinguish between the two layers if their colors are different :)
3) Prepare to use the Pen tool!
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...ng/inking4.jpg
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...ng/inking5.jpg
Here's the pen tool, I think the settings that I have are the default but I'm not sure, so copy the settings that I have if they don't match yours! :) Make sure that you feel comfortable drawing lines with the pen tool before you move on! Holding the left mouse button will change the curvy-factor of the line, etc etc :) Experiment with it!
4) Pick your inking brush!
I prefer to use slightly slanted brushes for inking, because depending on the direction of the brush, the size seems to change. Of course, feel free to experiment and see what kind of brushes rock your socks! :) Here's my favorite brush to use, I think it's in the default brush pack!
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...ng/inking6.jpg
5) Begin inking!
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...ng/inking7.jpg
Pick a line that you like, and try to draw over it with the pen tool. In this picture it's kind of hard to see... If you're having a lot of difficulty seeing where it is, start down near the bottom-right corner, and follow it up :)
6) Stroke the path!!
Right click the path while you have the pen tool activated, and click on 'Stroke Path' :) You'll see this menu!
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...ng/inking8.jpg
Simulate pressure may or may not float your boat! Here's an example of the stroked path with and without simulated pressure :)
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...ng/inking9.jpg
With simulated pressure
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...g/inking10.jpg
Without simulated pressure
As you can see from all of my other inked drawings, I really like simulated pressure. It suits my drawing style and the brushes I like!
7) Finish inking!
It'll take a while, but it looks much cleaner than if you didn't ink it at all!!
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...g/inking11.jpg
And from there, you can just follow the steps from the other tutorial if it helped you, making sure to replace the hand-drawn part with the inked thing :)
Since the outfit was really simple, I decided to try a different set of brushes for coloring it in! It didn't come out as nice as I'd have liked :(
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...irlwithgun.jpg
Hope this tutorial helped!! :)
Really liking that style! I'm getting all involved in photoshop again - which I really shouldn't - I'll juts end up palming off my psych degree for an arts one, again.
=/
after i finsih power reading harry potter (should take me a day or so) ill get started on some photoshop stuf (should have a new hdd by saturday)
Haha quality, i shall also be power reading the new HP book this weekend, hopefully my end of term hangover wont slow down my progress, hehe i might try and do some sort of character art but i cant draw for toffee but i can still try :)Quote:

Thank you very much for the tutorial Goddess sunny!
Il try these out at once! By the way, do you use a tablet or not? I forget reading wether you did or didn't. Im saving up for one now.
PS-Im doing requests right now for characters, if anyone is interested. I need the practice right now.
PEace out
again i say tabs suck, u cant see where ur line was complicating things
Great tutorial Sunny, my 'simulate pressure' wont work for some reason, but something I will just probably have to play around with as I'm using CS2 so it may be different.

Fuck me, i love your sig. Fear the spork.Quote:

Scarus, try changing the brush! I think this happened to me once or twice, it started working again after I changed the brush (no idea why, though)
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...tsunamigal.jpg
I'm really not happy with the way this came out, it looks much better on paper... the shirt just doesn't feel right, and the feathery scarf doesn't look very feathery!
I know this isn't a character doodle, but I wanted to share it with you guys anyway :) It's a vertical panorama of the DoY-1 surface gravlift, my favorite place in DoY!! It took about 5-6 pictures to put that together!
(the weird blueish splotches on it are the textures of the glass, I couldn't get rid of them :()
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...3/panorama.jpg
(hope I don't get in trouble for posting something so tall)
If I can ever do more than a single panel of a webcomic without losing inspiration, I want to do a small series about several people and their families before DoY was nuked :)
BTW - you guys can post something too, it won't kill you :P
Cheers for the advice but it wasn't the brush, more the brush properties, I had changed them while using my graphics tablet and forgot to change them back.Quote:

I may post something else up if I get the time/effort.
-Scarus
hehe I dont have a tablet ether (I think I stated that a few times actually, but I forget) Anywho, Im working on some different pieces right now, sadly not on that photoshop contest with the picture sources and whatnot, I have art school projects right now. I post some of my new-er stuff soon.
PS I personally like the Blond chick you drew, yes the lines are a "little" heavy but nothing serious.
PPS-I'd also love to do a webcomic, but as for writting a script, I'm totally at a loss. maybe if someone wants to collaberate, maybe we could get something done. who knows :D
PEace out.
I've been trying to deviate away from the boring supermodel poses and head into the wide world of action packed shots :)
I realize the blood looks really weird, but I think it conveys the message of total smackdown! :)
http://photobucket.com/albums/y173/mawee03/shooty.jpg
I'm really looking forward to seeing both of your stuff, I can't wait! :)
wonderfully dark, reminds me of an anime named GANTZ, you should check it out. Anywho, I scrapped my character pics I just did (up and ripped them up, really pissed right now) so I guess some vehicle pics will have to do. Ill have them up in a few hours, or at least one by then.
PEace out
I am totally not happy with this picture. It started out as a sketch during principles of 3d and 2d animation, and ended in the break room, now I did a rushed ink and color job (thanks for the inking tutorial, but I think I did some things wrong this time) and Im totally bushed, Due to Emotional issues I think Ill try and draw some more soon (Me and GF had to split up, totally sucks, going to bed now)
anywho, PEace out
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b1...saulttrike.jpg
PS-Its a trike :p
Bashed these two scetches out last night in front of the telly.
A bit shit.
(better hurry on this library computer)
Stop, people, STOP!
YOu're all blowing me away!
(Sunny - panorama ROCKS - make sure that stays up -I want to download that. That's positively gorgeous).
Yeah, that stripper getting shredded is a bit of a deviation from your supermodel drawings, heh. Very nice, though. Excellent skill there. And, sunny.. what is it with you and redheads? :P Don't get me wrong, redheads are hawt.
And clive - nice new mechsican sig :D That trike looks good - very good. The gunnery turret looks MUCH more realistic.
Keep on trucking, guys!
edit - (sunny.. that psi monk gal is FUCKIN' GORGEOUS! IT does seem very... majestic. That's the best way I can describe it.)
Great stuff, I guess Ill keep working.
PS-I semi take back what I said about GantZ, the conclusion episodes and ending totally sucked. I feel Soo ripped off.
PEace out
The GantZ manga is far better.Quote:
