[/quote] well.. we still don't know all the facts of that laptop you are using! just cause your not a convicted criminal doesn't mean you aren't one!

[quote name='chibi-master' date='07 November 2010 - 07:19 PM' timestamp='1289186345' post='701600'] Ugh. You guuuysss... I got my Flu shot on Friday and my arm STILL aches like hell... [/quote] how cruel! I will pray for your expedient recovory sis!

Gasp! if that happens i fear for the poor pokemon that are being brought up into a criminal environment. (why doesn't team rocket just breed pokemon instead of steal them. you can get a ton of eggs in minutes!)

[/quote] whats to contemplate? Giant beards are the tops in style! it is "no shave November" after all!

anything for you! (especially when all i have to do is look at your cool artwork.)

I can't wait! It sounds like you guys are working everything out quite well.

any time! I figured you know much better than I do about it, but i have time so i'd help if it was possible! 1. well... i can see the lip ring now... not so much the gender, but on second look i guess the only thing that looks feminine is the long hair and make-up... everything else looks neither manly or ladylike... but even with the bland features I am sure [i]someone[/i] knows who he is! 2. I see... well I learned something new then... he still looks like a goof though. I feel bad for him. I couldn't possibly take him seriously even though it isn't his fault. 3. using a system you aren't familiar with will do it to you. honestly the only reason why i noticed it was because I usually do the same stuff. the only way i have found to seamlessly blend items in with photoshop is to either give them a border, or go into a magnification that allows you to see pixels and replace all non main color pixels with colors close to what you are blending it into or the main color of the item. it takes forever so sometimes i just blur the edges then start the pixel clean up. 4.well i say the teacher should at least let his head be connected to the pictures border to provide the illusion of a body! no one would go to a zoo that had nothing but floating heads! (except people who shouldn't be allowed to go anywhere) 5. I have done similar things by taking a repeating pattern then pasting a white stencil like image over it, but I can tell it would not look the same because of all the images being whole and the variation between fonts.This is easily my favorite picture you have made. 6. It sure didn't turn out bad for a complete blank! really the only thing i didn't like is the Blood text. the "o" especially looks strange because when things are written in blood no two letters look the same, but the giant blotches are in the same spot right next to each other. It wouldn't work all that well with the text you use, but a trick I like to use when I am using a unique looking font is altering the size. it adds a touch of random while remaining legible. plus its easy to do. in photoshop you can stretch each letter and rotate them in a snap. also it is good for titles because important words like "house" and "scorpion" can be big while "of" and "the" can be small, creating impact as well as a simple connection. (example Harry Potter books)

(i still do for plane and long car rides, waiting around at home, boring classes. ect) but emulators come pretty close... you just kinda get lazy when you can speed up time...

[quote name='chibi-master' date='06 November 2010 - 09:41 PM' timestamp='1289108496' post='701568'] Screw love, I'm busy being a Pokemon Master!!! [/quote] alright Gary, go ahead and do things by the books, but when Ash comes along and whips you with his pokemon friendship you'll know why!

well... I am not sure if I have any critisism to give... I have no idea what these are for, they kinda look like advertisements, and if they are, what i say may be way of in terms of making people want to do what the picture tells them. of course i would like to help... sooo... 1: Its kinda trippy to see a persons face segmented and rendered individually. I am glad you did it in horozontal rows instead of vertical collums because it preserves some facial symmetry. i don't really have any constructive criticism with this one... oh... and whats in her mouth? 2: I like the spinally text in front of a spirally patterned background. It looks very professional, except the logos have white boxes for the most part, when I think they should all have a dark black box (dark enough to be seen over the shirt) and in some cases color inversion like the Yamaha one. Also, the pupils make this look a bit silly, this could be a comedy movie i guess.. but if its anything other than that i would suggest picking one and altering the other. 3: I love the shadows and blur on the text in this one, but some of the cat toys look like they have been pasted in, and not completely blended. and others look like they blended too much and became so blurry you cant tell what they are anymore. I don;t know if its worth fixing though because that text is beautiful and eye catching. without forcing myself to notice the details on this one I wouldn't have caught it. 4: I dislike decapitated animals and I would never go to this zoo! (but i find the simple style of this will work out for the average person perfectly) 5 I have no idea how you did this one, but it is impressive. the size of the 'T' varying to fit the picture as well as the light color scheme make it look amazing. I dont have any constructive criticism for this one. 6: I am not sure about the text in this one, There are too many repeated characters so the bloody look doesn't fit well in my opinion. especially if you use it on the spine of the book and the front. The scorpion image looks really good, i like how it blends in with the black. i think the image could actually be used more than once, like a small version on the spine and/or on the back cover and flipped horizontally. It looks really good so it may spruce up the blank parts. Anyways they all must have taken forever, and when it comes down to it, all of them look great, so make sure you don't kill yourself! I always say "when it comes to editing you will never get things done completely, you always work until you have something that's close enough." in other words, you will always find something that you can change up. don't worry about it being perfect. just make sure it does what you need.

[/quote] if you loved them, you would train them yourself! also, i am kinda glad they dont watch my pokemon doing it (i can only imagine the kind of horrors my ditto inflicts upon whatever pokemon i pimp out.
