General Graphics Discussion| DA Links| SotW Winners

I'm not sure if this is all one thought or if this is two separate thoughts. ;O I mean, I'm not sure if you think:
1) we should make a new topic just so we could add in your name as a tied win in SOTW; or
2) that it doesn't matter who makes the new topic and also that you're happy that you tied a win in SOTW.

If the first (1), don't flatter yourself, lol. There are also two other SOTWs to be added with the one in which you won.

If the latter (2): i) nice (but we have yet to confirm all the nominations); ii) congrats.


Edit: Okay, so we (all three mods) can both agree on Layne. ;) How do the other graphic forum posters feel about this?

That just plain confused me V.

You confused me, too.

V truthfully, It doesn't really matter to me. I was just happy to tie with sig made entirely with brushes and a contrast adjustments.

Are both sentences talking about the new topic being made and who is to make it? Are both sentences talking about something different? Or is one sentence talking about one thing, and the second sentence talking about another?

Because I interpretted your message as saying, "it doesn't matter to me who makes the new topic, [first sentence] as long as my name is put as a winner who tied first place with a sig made with brushes and adjustments. [second sentence]"

But I also acknowledged that you could be talking about two completely different ideas, one sentence concerning the making of a new topic and other simply as a comment that you're happy you won a SOTW.

Layne is the most active member here so I say yeah.

yeah let Layne get it

Wait, but since I wouldn't able to make SOTW, wouldn't that like, not work. D;


Still happy to make it, though.

Two separate sentences.

Or basically this. I don't care what happens. It was my first SOTW. Do as you please.

Either Vee or Layne; I approve both.

Now, considering what we discussed the other day, shall I merge the Sharing Thread with the Tutorials Magazine? We have 8 pinned topics as of now, it's a bit too much.

Mmm, yeah I'd say so, up to other mods too though. In all honesty the new pinned thread just made that extra bit too many.

Also, looks like i'd be making the topic then, despite not being able to do SOTW.

I don't understand what you mean by not being able to do SOTW... You said you'd be able to do it a couple hours earlier, which is fine with me. But did I miss something that is preventing you from doing SOTW?

The only thing preventing me from making the new topic is my activity in the future... I can only promise what can be expected from me for 2010; I'm not sure what my activity will be like in 2011.


Vasco: Sounds good. I think you should make the first post contain the list of tutorials, and then make a second post regarding the Sharing of artwork. In the first post, introduce the topic as containing both tutorials (EITHER MADE BY YOU OR GIVEN POSTING RIGHTS BY THE TUT MAKER TO YOU TO POST ON OTHER SITES) and artwork... blah blah blah, I'm sure you were probably going to do this, anyhow.

I feel so left behind, after coming back from my hiatus. Everyone is better than me now. ;-;

And I can't find any good renders to work with D:

Well Vee I never actually heard anyone say, 'that is fine'. In which case I will be able to make SOTW, and the topic.x)

Just a quick question before I go ahead and do it, though. Do I keep all the dA links? Plus, would you like me to link the person that came first in every SOTW to the entry that won?


Also, Tyler with the renders, omg I know. >_<

Haha, just found an awesome Samus render and made this for SoTW:



Mostly cool lighting effects and such but there's a couple other things in there.

Not a large fan of the right side, nor the colours. Also just the atmosphere of the tag really doesn't capture me. I'm sorry, but i'm just not feeling this one, Tyler. You've done alot better. :(


Oh and:


I have five versions when it comes to the colour.

Hmm, well I was kinda workin with what I have (not a lot) but I could do better.

Layne, do you have brushes that you use for effects? I would guess yeah, I need to go find some like yours...

I also wish I could pentool like you or Bex cos my pentooling sucks.

Well, which effects, exactly? Also, half the background isn't pentooling, it's c4d spam with a gradient clipping mask. x)

I mean like the little circles and lines and junk.

I had meant pentooling as in your current and some of your experimenting tags.
New tag looks cool, sparklies are cool, "F" is kinda hard to see tho.
Why is there light in the top right?

The lines and circlies? No, I don't use brushes for them. Only for the sparks.

Also, do you mean top left?

Editz:

Tried some new smudging. Eh.

Niiiiiece. The composition still needs work, but I suppose that's something that comes with experience.

Vee, will do. But yes, I was already planning to do so.

My compo's always somewhat off. T_T


Thanks for doing the topic, Vasco. Clears it out a little.

Thoughts on whether or not I should keep the dA links/Linking to the winning entry, when I make the new discussion topic?
