Author Topic: Art Vandelay's Photoshop Thread.. and other wizards too! (Read 9606723 times)

get a few reference photos, stare at them for a bit - then start sketching from memory - any particular features which stand out - and put them on paper - then scan and build up crisply in photoshop.

The plastic look can't be worse than this? That's right, the T-virus is bad.

Torres with blue eyes and brighter eyebrows. Looks better, no? I think I gave him a bit of tan too.

Torres is perfect the way he is. You guys need to stop messing with his face.

Looks fuckin scary now. Like Ronaldo with some jaw surgery, hair dye and clearasil.

He looks like the bastard son from a threesome of David Beckham, Gavin Henson and Ronaldo. I prefer him "au naturel"!

Fuck sake Kit.... did you have to post your brushes... it just reminded me that I hadn't installed all mine on the new macbook... I have also found 750 Meg on new renders

By the way did you know you can search for 3D renders using PS on google?

I'd agree with kit an McPhisto - you really need to be able to draw.

Most designers I know and work with will even tell you they can't draw too well, including me...

But at the same time, we can all draw well enough to get a good grade in A Level art - which for most people is excellently.

I'll tell people I'm not a great drawer or painter - but when I say it I mean in comparison to genius like kit and mcphisto - not in comparison to the normal man off the street!

In summary - if you REALLY can't draw - you'll not be able to do this kind of stuff either!

I can't draw a matchstick man, let alone reach the heady heights that McPhisto and Kitster have achieved. Was never an artistic type unfortunately, but I so admire the work they can achieve on a machine.

McPhisto's Liverbirds are completely stunning, regardless of what pose he sets them in.

Kitster's player profiles are genius as well. Love the Torres and Skrtel characters he's produced. There's scope to work on the rest of the squad if he fancies it.

I wish I could produce something so fantastic via a computer, but I can't.

Hiya Kit.
I know you've got nothing to do with your time mate.
So just thought I'd check to see if you managed those brushes for version 7.0?

Just incase you had a free 30 seconds!

not yet - was going to reinstall 7.0 and save them from there - but cant find the disc anymore. i have a load of stuff to sort through since i moved from my office a while back - will get round to it soon.

kitster · « **Reply #5708 on:** June 5, 2008, 03:37:49 am »

btw - does anyone know this arsehole? http://www.zedge.net/profile/TROTTSKI/

This infernal cock-end is using my artwork without permission, not only that, claiming in childish, arrogant PMs that he created it himself after being asked to remove it. Not that i could understand much of what he had said as his messages looked like they had been wriiten by a 5 year old. In special class.

The site is no better, allowing uploads of thousands of unsolicited images including macphisto's. Have been in contact with them about copyright - and they are unhelpful to say the least - have prepared a legal statement and proof of copyright and files for them - they are getting away with loads - am not going to let them get away with mine.

Not saying that anyone should visit 'TROTTSKI' from Grimsby's page and mention that he is an attention-seeking copyright thief or anything. After all - 'He can put a smile on your face and make you laugh.'

Mimi · « **Reply #5709 on:** June 5, 2008, 03:41:43 am »

He's utter scum, kitster. It's laughable that they try and get away with it considering you can't hide anything on the web these days. I hope you succeed in getting the site to stop. Perhaps you might have more success if other artists joined you in petitioning them. And people downloading should have pay more attention to the sources of images and artwork. Even people who post images from other sites on this thread should credit the creator and original site.

Just annoys me that the site makes a fortune out of other peoples hard work - when they receive no payment or even credit at all - And they dont care either. A parasitic site for shithouse Chav's

Mimi · « **Reply #5711 on:** June 5, 2008, 03:55:17 am »

Well, I emailed the Zedge team asking them to remove the images. I have no idea whether it will work, but I'm sure they'll get annoyed if hundreds (hopefully thousands) of LFC fans did the same.

Thanks Mimi - i think there will be a LOT of people complaining now - all the big Art and Photography Sites have got on to it too. I dont mind people downloading my work - otherwise i wouldnt put it online - however, i would prefer it if i took at least some credit for it.

pinkdragon · « **Reply #5713 on:** June 5, 2008, 04:14:52 am »

You would think that anyone and everyone on here would be happy to email him and complain. Something definitely needs to be done about it.

Gwee · « **Reply #5714 on:** June 5, 2008, 04:23:08 am »

I looked at that zedge link u gave kitster and find it disgraceful for him to list his heroes as "his dad and his two kids." Is that the type of behaviour he wants to promote to his kids?

Anyway, i did a little snooping around - are you "Quitter" on Zedge?
Found this:

He (assuming its a he) claims in his description that:

ye - opened an account so i was able to post, and divert a bit of traffic back to my site - then closed it because the site is full of unwashed, curtains closed, hard drives full of porn and fight videos, oxy 10 using, gorgoroth t-shirt wearing, wanking in the bath, only friends are online and samaritans, nik nak eating, plates with 20 day old food under the bed, greasy haired, pasty faced, living with parents, matrix loving, fat virgin nerds.
