if working with something you're comfortable with prevents getting frustrated, by all means... but don't get too frustrated too fast, graphics just take time and patience seeing what works and what just doesn't, so don't get discouraged, most of what I learned, I learned by first applying a style, seeing what it did, and trying to paint and blend to make a similar effect, and I'm still working on it. Tutorials can help, but I confess I haven't used many, though I needed it desperately when trying to make glass, then I wasn't happy with it, too transparent, so refined it a bit, it's easier to refine something after the basics though, so, DON'T GIVE UP!

yea my bigest problem is finding a tut to teach me a few good ways to do metal :weird:

dimichan 21st November 2002 01:34

you use PSP or photoshop or what? In the tipd and tricks, there were some good tuts listed I *think* and if not, there's some standards ones I'm sure everyone will link (inflate post count) with!

I use both prefereble psp7 but hey i went through most of the tuts that were listed the other day on the lum prev thread but other then some objects and etc (which were helpful) i didint really find what i wanted im looking for a way to do a nice flat metal texture

Krynis 21st November 2002 06:38

hmm do u think some whare down the line this will be any better? (ill include buttons later after i make em)

i made a few mistakes that ruined the Below so just take alook tell me how it looks and hopefully i dont make the same (although not very visible Down there there) mistakes on the next try

that metal texture looks too blocky, looks like it needs some blur or something.

Krynis 21st November 2002 15:28

ill keep that in mind when i redo the texture later

I know what you mean I suck at fancy graphics too, that's why I only make picture skins, or at least I used to make them, can't seem to commit to skinning at the moment. Anywho my point is if even you're not good at graphix, you can still make killer skins, I've become quite good at cutting and pasting :D

Dont get disheartened so fast Krynis. You cant really get good at graphics in a few days. It takes time, patience and a lot of work.

Krynis 22nd November 2002 03:44
