markyosullivan Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 To help with the yearly award threads, what do you guys think of a yearly General Graphics Thread? Would certainly make it easier going through and finding some of the best graphics submitted by members of the forum Just came up with the idea there now.

MaxOctane Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 If there was a best new designer award, I'd nominate Max Octane and Kris Hughes as a group, as I'm not sure who does most of the designs I have done al designs until he took over the comp 2-3 weeks back and designed some stuff of his own.

MaxOctane Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 The skin colour is fine with me, it's usually the tone. The burn tool doesn't always do the trick so you're messing around with black low opacity brushes and stuff to try and change things up. I'd never use the smudge tool on an avatar though. I use the blur tool a lot but what purpose would smudge have? I use smudge a bit. Spec were avatar edges goes in to org picface to help with blending it in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the blur tool a lot but what purpose would smudge have? This. I never use the smudge tool for anything, the blur tool is vital to blending the features, the tone can be fixed by using the burn tool then running color replacement brush over it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clydebankblitz Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 This. I never use the smudge tool for anything, the blur tool is vital to blending the features, the tone can be fixed by using the burn tool then running color replacement brush over it It's good for things like sigs if you need a spatter brush to blend something in or do a background. How do you guys change the colour? I'll do a few variations of select colour, colour replace and brightness/contrast tool. I'll usually throw on a gradient map on soft light at the end of it to kind of tie it all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll usually throw on a gradient map on soft light at the end of it to kind of tie it all together. I use the 'Adjust Hue/Saturation' and 'Brightness/Contrast' tools pretty exclusively for this. Sometimes it takes a couple tries and can be a biit consuming, but my toolset is pretty limited. I've never really been shown how to use photoshop. I've been just learning on the fly since I started this game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's an avatar face, I will zoom right in, select colour by sampling the skin that i want to replicate, then run colour replacement over the area, if it doesn't look right, run a quick burn over it then do it again.

clydebankblitz Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Yeah I was only meaning avatars. A million different ways to do colour otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingEpicity Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 I actually use quite a few of the adjustments depending on how different the colors are. Brightness/Contract, Color Balance, Hue/Saturation. Vibrance all come into play for me usually. Sometimes I get one of those nights or two where I just have to save and come back later if I get frustrated. Color at first was the hardest part for me but I feel like I figured out a good system that works pretty good now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
