Re: Knives' Homeroom
**** YES!
*cough* I'ma become a student of you if thats okay, you're just so pwn. ^_^ Oh, and White text + White theme = unreadable ![]() I'm on PS CS2 and I've been using it for about 2 years now. Before that I used PSP7 and Paint. Go me ^_^. I like using the gradiant tool, pentool, and I smudge becuase I don't often know how to beild up a good background. (Blerghhhhh!)

Re: Knives' Homeroom
HAR HAR I AM QUICK
assignment sig: step 1: gradient (using colours from render) ![]() step 2: black layer with white pentool and soft brush ![]() step 3: set that layer to soft light and fiddled settings ![]() step 4: messed with hue/saturation to get a more dark, saturated colour, also more yellow-green. ![]() step 5: added render (feathered by 3 px), and lighting in white with soft brush. Also a yellow brush over that set to soft light and reduced opacity. ![]() step 6: added photo filters (cooling in bottom left, warming and yellow in top right over render). Also added black gradient to darken bottom left half. ALso a wave filter and ocean ripple filter layer, set to soft light (?) ![]() step 7: made some text (made of three text pieces, copied and placed in different places at different sizes). Merged text layers, set to overlay at about 45% opacity, gaussian blurred. erased over render. ![]() final product: added copied layers of the text and erased to create layered feel, darkened bottom left again, blur layer to blur bg, sharpen layer to sharpen render, 1px black border. ![]() DONE EDIT: i may have missed some brightness/contrast layers etc. sorries ![]()

Re: Knives' Homeroom
Alright Shroom. (No worries about the missed layers) I used a variety of brushes that I overlayed and sharpened the vector image of Link. I also changed the color of Link's eyes using the magic wand and the adjustment tools, but I should have made the saturation less. And I also used brushes for the transparent border.

Re: Knives' Homeroom
WAAAAH?! We have to post steps too? Damn that white text. Right, prepare for this to be a damn long post, I fiddled with this so much, I'll do my best to be accurate, but I'm probably going to miss some bits. I'm such a bad boy.
![]() Step 1 : - Gradiant using colours from the render ![]() Step 2 : - Adding render and depth. ![]() Step 3 : - Using a brush strokes filter to add texture to the gradient. ![]() Step 4 : - Added a C4D, Colour Dodge, 26% Opac. and Glowing edges... ![]() Step 5 : - Adding more interest to the background using the Ocean Ripple Filter, Soft light. ![]() Step 6 : - Added some brushing, and played with filters until it got an effect I "liked." ![]() Step 7 : - Gradient Map ![]() Step 8 : - Gaussian Blurred the BG to soften it. Added C4D, Lighten 53% Opac. ![]() Step 9 / Final Product : - Added final black border, and pen tool and text. ![]() ---------------------- Hooooooorahhhhh! Finally wrote all that up. Photobucket decided to break at about step 5, so I had to switch to Imageshack. Damn you Shroom, making me look bad with your superior skillz! ^_^;
