.Rai Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 <3 Little TCGer in Showcase. Darken background, spam crap tons of fractals and add excessive amounts of lighting and you're pretty much fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just get tons of them from here: http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&q=fractal+pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you drop it down, it'll have options like Screen, Darken, Lighten, Overlay, Dodge, Hue or whatever. Choose Screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solemn Silver Posted December 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 What does it do? All I'm getting is a Slightly Brighter/Darker Image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simping For Hina Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 That is the thing of fractals. They brighten it mostly. I use the Add setting most of the time for them. Lover the opacity and you should be fine. An ametuer way to darken something is to duplicate a layer and set it to multiply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Oh, I see your problem [size=1]and your pencil lines.[/size] Just use Sharpen. I'm not sure where it is in GIMP, but it's probably in the Filters menu.

.Rai Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 [quote name='Ctrl+Alt+Win' timestamp='1325296661' post='5739891'] Yeah I`m not so good with the new tablet I got for christmas :s [/quote] Got a tablet too. But, to be honest, tablets should be only used for digital painting actually. Pretty much why I'm taking some extra art work. It might be good for the mat since you're doing a bit of smudging. But, in all, for this, I don't think you'll actually need the tablet that much. Just a simple mouse, and a lot of copy-paste. If you do want tablet help, you might be able to get some great help later in 2012 (since this section is going through a massive community revamp to encourage artwork stuff). Mainly from 'ken1, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
