Tormented Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Honestly for my first tag with understanding Paint.Net I don't think this isn't that bad, although when I am at home my work will consist of photoshop so yeah. Anyway whatevs. ULTRA SHARP EDGES 4 DA WINN, oh and missing edges of the renders, always fun stuff. Actually the more I look the more I find faults QQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tormented Posted July 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I know but my Work laptop doesn't have the licensing for Photoshop and I'd rather not get fired and have my ceo be fined like £20000 >n< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with Paint.NET ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormented Posted July 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I mean looking back on the piece itself Improvements could have been made everywhere I look, that being said if I decide to do something again, improvements will be made.

Tormented Posted July 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I just feel it's too clunky, and what's there is there can be worked with rather than having to get fancy plugins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smear Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Very well done considering you used MS Paint.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRlzWyf578oYeah, I can do that in my sleep.And you should look at getting GIMP. It's a free program that works really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormented Posted July 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Wait hang on, Paint.net not MS Paint. Oh shizzle I think you guys have given me more nice comments than I deserve. http://www.getpaint.net/ I would be using Photoshop but as stated don't want to illegally download Photoshop on my work laptop.

Simping For Hina Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 If you don't have gimp downloaded anyways, you're doing this entire thing all wrong. A lot of people actually helped me strengthen some of my weakpoints through .xcfs and I am strictly photoshop, userfriendly reasons. Get GIMP.

I have gimp on the system but even then I'm having trouble moving from Photoshop to GIMP so sharply, plus I need a good bunch of plugins to at least give me some of the things Photoshop offers.

I have to go back every now and then when teaching first years at my school. It is a transition, everything is. You can't learn everything in a day, just like you can't with photoshop. What you can do is learn to do the basics, then learn how to do what you do in photoshop in gimp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem I have with GIMP on a personal level is that, a lot of things that are accessible in Photoshop just seems harsh to create in GIMP for example outer glows have this long work around that gets on my nerves every time I use it.

It is why I like using Photoshop, but GIMP is your best option on your workbook. What you can't do in one way, do in another. I am not trying to be harsh here, but the complaints about gimp for you are the fact that things are harder in the program. I don't find that an issue, I find that to be an adventure to learn new ways in a new program to do things differently. And, if you're learning about gimp, you can learn a few things in photoshop from it to try and attempt different things. Everything is a learning experience and if you're complaining about learning, you have a lack of desire for it. You should thrive to learn, Torm.

Tormented Posted July 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I know, i don't want to learn because I'm a lazy swine who hates things that are a pain in the ass. You're right I admit it. I'm not going to lie I do like the concept of learning something new but If I fail it the first time then... Well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tormented Posted July 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Alright well, I'm in the process of creating a tag with GIMP I'll post the finished product when it's complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simping For Hina Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 You don't want to fail? Artists all have faults, but failures are never one of them. Failures, for me, are inspiration. You could work around it, turn into the main part of your image. Most of my tags are all mistakes turned into something. If you fail to do something what you want, then you either take a step back to see where you messed up or you work with it. Art isn't about the easiest shortcut to finish the piece in the fastest way possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormented Posted July 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Yes but then I don't want to spend hours on a piece and see no change at all. Well anyway check the GIMP thread for the attempt at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simping For Hina Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Then take a break and get back to it later. You will probably see a change after that. Ken, or Alee, gave great advice on that. The eye can't always notice the change, but every little layer with something changes the tag in someway, you may not notice it first hand, but there is change from the previous layer. Rest your eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
