Whoa, I've been away a bit because I'm preparing for finals xDRaisha Millenia wrote:
Click Window tab>>Animation. If there's no Animation at the Window tab, click "show all menu items"then it'll show like thishope this could help!
note: if you want to animate the text, click on the text's layer first then you make the animation frames. if you want to make the text like this:
you must change the text opacity/fill to 0 at the first frame. and on the second frame, change the text opacity/fill to 10 or 20(whatever you like), change the text opacity/fill to 30 or 60 on the third frame and do this until the text opacity goes to 100

Cool thread. I can't contribute anything since I just took up an interest recently so I'll just casually stalk this thread instead.
So I was just messing around and I ended up making this thing. Can anyone give me some feedback, and maybe some help with the text, since the text is probably the weakest point of the whole image.
This text style tutorial helped me a lot.

Thank you, this thread is really helpful :3
For your top and bottom border, I would make one border, duplicate it, and then add it to the other side. 99.9% sure your borders are different sizes.

Those were my intentions haha, wanted to try out a new style . I don't really know if it's more bothering or more satisfying to other people honestly.Incorrect wrote:

The great flyte said this
Click the image, or just... click me!
This thing can be applied for all kind of designers too, not only Skinners....
There you have it guys :3
P.S : I think he forgot to add a word "Color" since all that he said applied to "Colors" too
Color theories for some research
Like Analogous Colors, Monochromatic, Triad, etc etc.

But the Negative space is a bit too much, I think by zooming to the wolf more will be a bit better, or add some text or effects. :3

may i share some stuff here?
ps : its more wise to use stock image, and give credit to the artist who made the stock image..
learn to respect the original artist.. and learn to not stealing image from internet..
so ye.. that's how you turn your 'not-so-special' text into 'fabulous' text..
also, try to use different & more images, different color blending and stuff..
and the thing is have fun with your gfx art! cmiiw too

such a great honor to credit Eon-, because i took this technique from her amazing GFX implementation inside a text...
ps : i basically knows this technique since many years ago, but i just rarely use this.. x__x
ok, let me show you how i do this, and keep in mind, you can expand the step by step by yourself, i only shows you the basic how to do it...
lets get started with your non-famous gfx editor running first..
first i pick some random stock image(s).. in this step-by-step, i took from http://www.deviantart.com/art/Arctic-fo ... -153231819
make a new document, this time i use a random size for signature (around 600*150 px)
place the image as you wish.. make it fit and w/e its up to your creativity & imagination
here comes the fun part
add some text on it, using Text Tool
then duplicate the image layer OR you can also take another image, its up to you.. right click the layer, press duplicate layer, press ok
then set the duplicated layer ABOVE the text layer
right click the duplicated layer, then click "Create Clipping Mask"
it will make the text disappeared.. don't worry
move the clipped layer above the text to somewhere else, and see the magic
i mean move this layer..
then what to do? add some infamous Drop Shadow, Stroke, Pattern Overlay, and whatever you wish..

Hello everyone! Im back from my 8 months hiatus, some of you may know me as [ Evil ] from ExE thread waaay back, and im finally back to the world of GFX.
I thought i might share with you all something about scan lines, or diagonal lines. I see many newcomers to GFX using scan lines but abusing it or using it in a wrong way. Heres a little tutorial regarding proper use of scan lines and how to apply them correctly.

Scan lines/diagonal lines
PS: This thread is really helpful for newcomers to GFX, awesome idea on setting it up ^^Scan lines aren't just lines to place over an image to look good or boost it, thats just abusing scan lines. Scan lines can be used to emphasize a certain part of the picture of a filler for other miniscule detail. Apply scan lines wrongly can make the image look bad, however if you apply scan lines properly, you can get some good effects out of it.
This is an example of bad scan lining
As we can see here, the whole image is scan lines and there is no reasoning or purpose behind it, it does not portray anything and certain does not look nice?
So how we do fix this problem?
1stly, you have to detect the areas you would want to scan line. For this image, i will scan line the rocks and the sky. In some cases doing the full scenery might be bad but i personally find this one okay. Detecting the image is essential as you would want to split it up into different areas. EG: the girl here, the sky, the rocks, the hair, the armor.
Once you have selected your area, you can simply create a new layer and scan line it as usual.
At this point, you would want to clean it up, for instance in this picture the scan lines are touching the girls face and we can use a brush or eraser to ease and fade it to look more natural.
Unclean:
Clean:
This gives off a better product when apply scan lines to it.
The final product:
You can spot a clear difference between Example 1 and the final product, and this is how you properly apply scan lines.
There are various other factors coming into scan lines too, these things are thickness, anti-alias level, angle, colour etc. Having the wrong combination can lead into something bad. EG:
And remember, when applying scan lines, make sure you plan out and know what you want to perform with it and not blindly place random lines. I hope this tutorial is helpful!

Well, it depends on one's preferences tho xD
I thought that maybe I should bump this, to complement Ryn's post your gfx thread. :p
I was experimenting with creating different pattern fills. I don't know if anyone else has attempted a hexagonal pattern fill yet.
It's lacking any form of antialias, mostly because I can't get my antialias function to work. It can, however, be slightly blurred to fix it's jaggedness.
You could, for example, apply it to a sci-fi themed GFX or something..
Any thoughts on this 'experiment'?

It's cool, man. ∑(ﾟﾛﾟ〃)
But the hexa-thingy is too much. Adjust the opacity (lower), maybe?

too much after glow on the text @helixu
edit after glow i mean outer glow

If you want to keep the black border, possibly consider resizing it to a one pixel border maybe(?)Nissanwarrior69 wrote:

Hello, can they give me an advice? It is that I am training.
Personally, I dont feel as if the font you've used fits with the image. A script font could work, maybe? Using a lighter colour would fit more with the image as well.
The animation is good, although the third section (where it's zooming out) does feel a little short, although that might just be me.
However, it's pretty good for someone who's training!
