Mandalore The Shadow · 06-30-2009, 03:08 PM

Hey well I gimped this picure and made it look a little better the first 1st is the original the 2nd picture is with the mandalorian having a motion blur and the 3rd is the mandaloiran with motion blur and a bigger flash on the lightsaber as the blast hits it:

What do you think?

Trench · 06-30-2009, 03:13 PM

Looking good Te Dha Werda Mand'alor

Carsew · 06-30-2009, 03:13 PM

Looks awesome, you have great talent! Where is the pic from btw? Did you draw it yourself?

Mandalore The Shadow · 06-30-2009, 03:17 PM

i wish but it (i think) is ToR concept art it is Darth Malak during the Mandalorian Wars when he was a jedi fighting Rohlan Dyre or Rohlan the Wise

Carsew · 06-30-2009, 03:34 PM

Ahhh. Cool nevertheless. By the way, how did you make the cool flash on the lightsaber? When i also tried to reskin this pic (couldn't resist :P) I used the distant sun light-thingy filter. :P

Mandalore The Shadow · 06-30-2009, 05:31 PM

I think i used Flare under light filters and here are some new ones the 1st is the original and the 2nd is the new one:

Trench · 06-30-2009, 05:38 PM

Sweet! Lightsabers only make Clone Troopers better

Using a motion blur filter, and adding a lens flare is really simple.

Carsew · 07-01-2009, 09:49 AM

Btw, here's my version of the Mando VS Alek pic:

Mandalore The Shadow · 07-01-2009, 01:03 PM

look at this guys:

Trench · 07-01-2009, 01:06 PM

Cool. Is that an actual game or did you make that?

Trench · 07-01-2009, 01:14 PM

That is the ani'la ver'vod! But now I'm dissapointed because I was hoping for a new RC video game

Mandalore The Shadow · 07-01-2009, 01:24 PM

EDIT: Look at it:

Trench · 07-01-2009, 01:51 PM

Sweet! Keep it up vod'ika!

Mandalore The Shadow · 07-01-2009, 02:10 PM

can you get rid of the backround and tell me what tool in gimp you use to do it?

Trench · 07-01-2009, 02:10 PM

Here it is:

Its still not finished, but its almost done.

@the Dark Mand'alor:
I just use the erase tool.

Mandalore The Shadow · 07-01-2009, 02:11 PM

Nice work *jaw drops and then bounces back up* so can you remove the Backround?

Trench · 07-01-2009, 02:12 PM

Yep, I've already started

Trench · 07-01-2009, 02:23 PM

Here you go:

I also upped the image quality a bit.

Mandalore The Shadow · 07-01-2009, 02:25 PM

Here it is:

Trench · 07-01-2009, 02:47 PM

Mandalore The Shadow · 07-01-2009, 02:55 PM

Doesn't Gimp have something lik a Pen tool, to create a path and use that to cut out your figures or whatever you want.

Its far more faster and preciser then the Eraser tool.

Another tip would be to look for something like a Layer Mask, its called like that in Photoshop, no doubt Gimp must have a similair option.

I see more people found the filters, I'd suggest to take your pictures to higher level and only apply filters on certain parts.

Just using a filter on a picture is 2 seconds of work...
Then again we all have to start somewhere

EDIT: To bad I only have Photoshop else I would've offered some help

LordOfTheFish · 07-01-2009, 10:21 PM

^Yes, yes it does. That's what I do.

Mandalore The Shadow · 07-02-2009, 02:34 PM

well ive done another sig just for the heck of it:

Carsew · 07-02-2009, 04:12 PM

The sig pic's are really good! BTW I'm gonna make a sig for myself, and I was wondering how to make something face the other way. I need some Hammerheads for it. Here's what I've got so far:

Trench · 07-02-2009, 04:14 PM

To face it in the opposite direction, use the layer invert selection. I'm gonna make something as well.
Be right back...

Mandalore The Shadow · 07-02-2009, 04:18 PM

well if you are using gimp use the reflect tool here is a pic:

its the tool with the poorly drawn circle on it an thats the sig im working on

Carsew · 07-02-2009, 04:27 PM

Yeah, I did it!

Now all that's left is to find out how big it's supposed to be to be welcome on the site, and then It's showtime! Here it is, tell me what you think:

EDIT: Here's one with a smaller frame:

Mandalore The Shadow · 07-02-2009, 04:30 PM

it looks good although i must say that i like longer sigs and would like to be able to see the KotOR logo insted of it being covered up

Trench · 07-02-2009, 04:31 PM

Nice sig Carsew. Very nice!

Mandalore The Shadow · 07-02-2009, 04:33 PM

so mand'alor what do you think about the sig i made and the one im working on. what color should the words be in the new one?

Carsew · 07-02-2009, 04:34 PM

Yeah, it's hard to see it, but I don't want the characters to covered up either. So I did it this way. Here's a longer version:

Mandalore The Shadow · 07-02-2009, 04:35 PM

ok i like that one better because like i said i like long sigs im picky sorry

Trench · 07-02-2009, 04:40 PM

Dark Mand'alor: Maybe you could make the words a vibrant blue. I like it

Mandalore The Shadow · 07-02-2009, 04:42 PM

yes that seems like a good choice ok im off to eat some chinese food

EDIT: here is the sig not as good as the others though but its good enough

LordOfTheFish · 07-02-2009, 11:06 PM

Carsew, I'm gonna be honest. I like your sig but it's to big, and doesn't really look that much like a signature.

Carsew · 07-03-2009, 11:38 AM

Too big? Like it won't be allowed? And how do I make it look like a sig?
