a reply to: Grovit

Sure - I just sent you a message.

This one was a brain buster as I had to make layers for each piece of glass..(there was no way of naming them all so it was a nice bit of layer-hunting before it found all the pieces back).

In my mind it looked better but I couldn't get the ATS letters any better with only glass so I used stars to help me out.

Second entry:



Peace

ETA: On second thought (and seeing it now), it's a bit too busy and messy.Scratch the second entry, back to the drawingboard....sigh.

a reply to: cody599

I´m glad you guys like it but it´s not really suitable as official entry....(how´d want that as an avatar? lol...)

They are just little update avatars for people who are new to the thread or just passing by....just to get an idea of the amount of work and creativity going on in this thread.

You guys are producing some awesome work!!

Peace

Alien meets the Grinch

So I was trying to make a new X-mas avatar but I ended up with something that was way bigger and not the right proportions. So I made it into a Christmas card for you guys...



Cut it down to an avatar but it doesn't quite have the same feel..

(ETA: what the...., I'll make this official entry nr.2)


Peace

a reply to: operation mindcrime

a reply to: zazzafrazz

Haha...go ahead.

I changed the avatar a bit since I posted this so you may want to knick the newer version...(looks better imo)

Peace

FREEBIES

a reply to: operation mindcrime

I think its awesome. The contrast is perfect. Contrast is something I am having a more difficult time with. Either I have too much, or not enough.. so I am trying to work on that personally. But its something you seem to have down pat.

I know one of my problems, is that my work looks different - the colors much sharper ect, in photoshop than they do once I save them and put them on the internet. I am not sure yet why that is..
