Crysi's attempts

Ok, you know I'm tired when I misspell my own name. Sheesh. Anyway, I figured it was time to reserve a spot for my stuff. I have a few things to show you that I did when messing around with photoshop..



I just made this one. It was from an old drawing of mine, and I decided to try shading him.



The banner I made for my forums (opening in a week)! Don't ask me to do it again.. I have no idea what I did.



Once again, from that old drawing hehe.



Now THIS was fun to make. I used gradients to blend the three pictures together.. Good, no?

That's all for now.. I'm too lazy to upload anything else lol.

wow me likey ALOT!

Wow, they're great Crysi, hmm, i know someone in need of good dragon pictures, Snoink.

Sweet! Photoshop rules!

Indeed it does, Bobo. Indeed it does.

Wow! The dragons are soooo cute. I draw dragons too but not using photoshop. I just draw them free-hand. I'll be sending some in soon. Anyway, these are sooo cool!!!!

I've never been able to draw freehand on the comp. I have been able to cartoon pretty well in Flash though. Yeah, that Dragon's Keep banner is my fav of the three. Just one question: is that fire custom made or done with the Photoshop filter or whatever it is?

I actually drew the dragon freehand on the comp. What surprised me is that it came out almost as good as the ones I had been drawing on my binder lol!

I learned how to do the flames from this link: http://www.absolutecross.com/tutorials/photoshop/effects/4way-fire/

I just applied that to a white line going across the bottom. Also, I've played around with changing the colors a bit. When you go to the color table, you can create your own colors by clicking on one square and dragging it a third of the way (or halfway or whatever) down. Then you choose the color you want to start with, and the color you want to end with. Photoshop makes a gradient using those colors.. It's a bit hard to explain on here lol. Just play around with it, and I'm sure you'll figure it out.

He's so cute, Crysi!!! I love him!!!

I've seen a better fire tutorial at http://www.photoshoptechniques.com/texp/fireptk.php

Tends to look more realistic and less uniform.

Ooh, I REALLY like that! Thanks Bobo!

No problem! We did that in my Commercial Art class, so I've learned of quite a few useful techniques. That's one of the best I've done so far.

Awww!!! I love the dragon, he's so cute!! The banner was great, and the flame effects are excellent. I reeeeally need to get photoshop...

Lol thanks!

I'm still waiting for my mom to connect her scanner so I can scan my pictures.. Maybe I'll go see if I can hook it up right now.

The way he looks all flame-ish in the one drawing is awesome. Did u say once that you did that accidentally?
