Holy momma... I'd be proud if I was able to model that damn fast! :D
I pick 7.62 :pQuote:

Are you serious, Vae?
You actually did that model?!?
No he didnt, befor you all freak out (which aperantly some of you did... N00bs =P), thats actaully from a game, Im trying to remember exactly which one right now, but maybe his wording wasnt so well, he shoulda maybe said "photoshoped" or something like that, beside that he has done wonders for it the image itself.
Ooooh.. it looks like a Thief III promo that I vaguely recall.
Damn but doesn't it look incredible.
If you're interested in making signatures similar to that, there's oodles of tutorials that say how to make them on www.pslover.com. Here's a few examples.
The trick to making signatures like that is to use and be comfortable with the grunge brushes. If you can become one with the brushes you'll be able to make very cool looking effects every time.
Tratos I really like your spy :) You really made sure that all of the details (the straps, the seperate armorplates) in the model carried through to your drawing which must have taken a lot of careful planning and double checking, it totally rocks my world!
Tidus your drug effect is awesome! I like the ridge-y thingies, or whatever you want to call them :P But I'm still witing for your new BD guy!
I drew a fancypants gal who's living in viarosso. I don't really like the way it came out though, I'll have to eventually try to remake it. (the weird hairstyle came out pretty nice though! I like that part)

Also I know I said that I'm working hard on a webcomic-style thing, but it's a lot more difficult than I'd have hoped. Coming from a fashion design and manufacturing background I find it really difficult to focus solely on heads and faces (thus my inability to draw repeated characters) and find it even harder to not put a rediculous amount of detail and complexity into the outfits, not to mention that I don't have much experience in drawing people interacting or basically any other aspect that's an absolute necessity for webcomic-design. I'll find a way to do it so everyone's happy, but it may take a while.
sunny.. copy and paste is the secret to repeated characters :P
mhh.. looks like she's been in the washing machine a bit too long :pQuote:

Oh .. and also looking forward to seeing the final Tratos Spy ...he must be very intelligent too (not Tratos, the spy of course :p) ..judging by the size of his helmet *g
Clive is right, I didnt model it. (didnt say I did :p)
I had a picture, with that "monk" in it, so I took that picture, and rendered that monk.
rendering = cutting out the model, deleting the background so you can use that model on any signature you desire.
rendering takes a while, but as I said Ive used that picture before, so I didnt have to render it for the fire apoc picture.
Hell, I wish I could model a monk like that, then I'd work for KK and we'd have kickass monks in stead of dress-less monks running around like we have these day ;)
I don't model myself, I just make signatures, make a background, take the render (model), blend it in, brush a bit, use some filters, blur it, etc etc.
Ive come to the point where I can insert AVI files.
after Ive done some more sigs, Im going for a huge project, involving a PvP movie, where I take a part of it, put it in the sig, blend it in and have a quote on it that says "You'll never die alone". that's the idea Ive got in mind.
(I would need a PvP movie where alot of people die close to eachother, FaNG PvP movie perhaps?)
but I'd love to make u a sig Asurmen, it keeps me busy as I still don't have my NC account :D
(and compared to the real GFX artists, my sigs suck bigtime, tbh)
I just LOVE grunge style. although I overdid it on this picture.
I like:
grunge
filters only.
as Sonny said, there's really ALOT of tutorials.
the way Sonny does his/her models.. that's 1337.
What I do, isn't really that hard if you know the basics.
Ive gotten this far (*cough* far *cough*) by doing tutorials.
the first few sigs I made, was an exact copy of a Tut.
And now, if I don't know how to do something, I check a tut, do 1 part of it and it's done.
I need to work on scanlines, I don't know how do to them.
some tutorials explain them, but I'm not english, and I dont understand tutorials 100%. I still dont know what some things in PS mean, I only know what effect I get.
I can go on forever really.
I loved the sigs Ascention made for the forums here, I wanted to do that kind of stuff. He said he got it all by doing it himself, experimenting iirc.
thats what Im doing now.
<3 Ascention, my inspiration source o_O ;)
for asurmen;

PMed u this pic also.
monk is getting boring :/
definately not my best sig ever, way too bright and shiny
Good news, my 5th quarter is almost done (about 3 more weeks including this one) So Ill be able to post some of my works, Including my animation and 3D characters Ive been working on. Even though they're not Cyber punk, its still art. so yah. BTW, kick ass looking monk man. Just wish I could remember where you found it >_<
I cant remember which game it's from.Quote:

The monk itself is kickass, but I find it boring to use the same model on other signatures. Have to find new ones.
I cant find any of Neocron, at least not good ones, Ive tried a screenshot, didnt work :/
I had one for my nc1 PE Caladbolg, it was a guy from driv3r, with his gun pointing towards the viewer. added some effects, some animated rain, looks like a PE with a gun, in my case a Wyatt.
Think Ive still got it somewhere, have to search for it.
In 3D graphics terms (which is pertinent here because the picture is a 3d model), rendering = the final step in producing a 3d image in which the models in your 3d program (such as 3ds max or maya) are given textures, lighting, anti-aliasing and such. In 2d drawing, the quality difference between ink outlines and fully colored / photoshopped pictures would be a good comparison. Rendering something means that you have the mesh, textures and program, it does not mean you made it, but it means you have them.Quote:

From those two examples, rendering seems like it's always the final step in a process. In fact one of the definintions of render is: "To convert (graphics) from a file into visual form, as on a video display."
In conclusion... I don't think your usage of the term "render" is accurate nor correct... the term "cut out" might be better. :p
jfyi... the technically correct & common term for cutting out something from a picture is "to crop" or if you like, "mask" ..tho' thats more what you do prior to the crop :)Quote:

Guess the term crop would work, since that's technically a way to do it (select then crop) but there are other ways like erasing everything else or using various filters. Mask is something entirely different however.Quote:

thats wot they say on the GFX sites.
But I'll go with "cut out" for this time ;)
and frankly I dont know what render means, just knew what it does.
same goes for most Photoshop terms.
mask, vector, gradient.. wtf is a gradient o_O I only know what it does, sort of (Never used it though).
And I cba to read it all with my English2Dutch dictionary, soz :D
@ ake, in most sigs from LOTS of people, the "render" aka model isnt his/hers. cutting is very difficult if you wanna get good quality, specially the hair. the monk I had, easy to cut out. but if you take, IE a rl girl, try cutting her out, it's a serious bitch (the cutting, not the girl).
and I never said I was any good at it, I just like doing it o_O (same like sex :lol: )
can I have one with the boobies?
It fits me perfect tbh
but Dem Applez = VENOM speak :(
Jester used to say it on vent all the times.
how you like dem applez?
applez makes me think of boobs, cant help it.
I'll see if i can get u one with quote/unquote: the fantastic four.
if you have no clue of what Im talking about, read this:
http://www.johnandjohn.nl/write/jaj417.gif
rofl!
just replace apples with TITTIES!
or something that no one would be supprised about me saying
I can try and make a "6th sense" sig, with a quote saying: "I love dead people"Quote:

Ill start on saturday, seeing as I got friends coming over tonight (Yes, no NC made me havin a RL and getting friends.. stupid PBC)
Sorry I haven't posted anything recently. I've been pretty busy recently!
I've been trying to work on my male physique and body structure seeing as I think I'm pretty good in the female anatomy.
I didn't have enough time to finish the entire thing, but with the way it looks... it probably would look better as an unfinished thing (like the last thing I did) although this was done purely for practice on the male structure.
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...psimonkguy.jpg
He's supposed to be a psi monk but I don't think his build is frail enough to exemplify the whole 'mind over matter' motif that the psi monks seem to have. He's lean and athletic, maybe more of a spy/PE physique.
His face is really kind of odd looking but it's rather intended. I have always felt that psi monks should be grotesque looking or else there would be no reason for them to be mistreated other than jealousy (ooh! he can savagely murder people using nothing but their own thoughts and he gets all the ladies?! we are SO overthrowing their government). Also, since the psi monks were 'evolved' in a deep dark cave, it probably wasn't very easy to see each other and as a result people probably didn't realize how ugly their wives or husbands were... :)
I didn't bother with the legs... I haven't drawn male legs in so long and his legs are long, curvaceous and womanly - not frail and bony. It made him look like a russian ballet dancer and I wasn't too happy with it!
In my brain psi monketry should be a curse just as much as it is a gift. Psi monks should be rather grotesque and sickly looking physically while possibly viewing the world from a slightly less normal perspective as non-psi monks. I dunno, either a more vibrant world, or a darker, drearier world (maybe both, depending on how much psi energy the psi monk has?)
Maybe someone else out there would like to draw their interpretation on how an average psi monk looks?
Man, nice work on the, err, man, rose! =P anywho, Im getting antzy right now. Only 2 more weeks and the quarters over, and Ill post my finals works then. Not so much cyber punk (there IS some) but yah, I know I sound like I'm blowin a lot of hot air right now, but I've been getting no sleep working on my finals. Please understand.
Peace out
PS-Nice Signatures guys haha! :D
well, sunny, his chest looks too... *cough*... bosomy. I like the face, it's interesting. Hips definitely not mannish. I suggest making his hips same size as his chest, not shoulders, that should give the proper perspective. Don't definite his pectorals so much, they look like tits, frankly. The shading only worsens the problem - I suggest a larger shiny area to "flatten" the pectorals, if you must define them.
oh, and his forearms are too thick in comparison to his biceps... But get the proportions right, and you're pretty much there in the "skinny, frail guy" sense.
Any word on the comic???? :rolleyes:
