hi

I tried doing a face with the blending techniques you described, and here it is, not very polished I'm afraid. Any comments would be helpful and much appreciated

[ice-boy]

first i want to say thank you
everything here helped me to become better.

and of course the blender is very important.
my settings under scattering
-scatter 38% (pen pressure)
-count 10
-count jitter 30%

other dynamics:
-0% pen pressure


are those the best settings? and cna i save those setings?

[nebezial]

WELL WITH TIME WE ALL LEARN MORE STUFF, AND WITH THE AMOUNT OF WORK I HANDLED DURIN G THE LAST 6 MONTHS IM ALL STACKED UP ON NEW STUFF, SO TIME TO BEGIN...AGAIN

[calisto-lynn]

wow amazing!!!

[RicoD]

Great tutorials! Very insightful! Just reading it has multiplied my knowledge of PS by a gazillion!

As a "thank you", I have something for you. It's really, really good! It's your dream setup, just the way you like it! It's in my dungeo ... err, basement. Yes, through that door, down the stairs, just 13 of them, past the iron gate with only a handle on the outside. Don't worry it's not going to close by itself. Doors don't do that silly. Ignore the scream like sounds, it's just the wind. There! Everything you need. Just chain yourself to the desk, have a cookie and enter Photoshop heaven!

Meanwhile, I devote my life to alchemy and the dark arts to steal ... I mean duplicate your skills and talent. Just sign here in blood. An 'X' will do. >:)

[Icey]

man.... what took you so long?!
i was about to take a trip to croatia and knock on your door for more!
:D

cheers!
Icey


PS: have you done all the texture with bevel and emboss and all the things you've said there, and no real textures underneath? only with your own brushes??

[nebezial]

all my texture brushes, i just gotta catch a breather to make a good brush tut, to show some creative ways to use brushes, i believe those tricks will prove most useful...actually , i should get myself someplace to host some brushes for downloading, hm ill look into it

Welcome back Nebz. Great tricks there, thanks. For you to host your brushes, you can just package it and put it on rapidshare or yousendit. Or just holler and I'll put it up for you.

[nebezial]

yeah i know that but i want to have a place for people to take them whenever they want to, yknow dunno im gonna have to figure sumthin out, i still gotta show some tricks and methosds concerning some creative brush usage and paint mode usage, hopefully this saturday ill bhe able to do it, a new set of tuts, and then figure out which thread to continue, i m actually thinkin of addin a new chapter to design thread..so little time

[RicoD]

Hmm, let me get back to my lab. Maybe I can find a way to clone you. Or send you to a hidden ninja village where you can learn the techniques of bunshin so you can create your own clones.

[nebezial]

oh i know those, i even henge the clones into more computers and tablets...but they still suck XD:D

[killermachine]

superb stuff nebz:wise: ,thnx for sharing.really waiting for brush tut cause thats what'l help me the most:bounce:

[Glenfx]

I tryed working in gray tones and then colorizing... but for the life of me i just cant work that way XO.


I was kind of curious.. how did you came up with your technique? ive read you are self taught ^^.
Also how many pages you can work a day?

[Shane Sanders]

I must be doing something wrong. When I create an 8 x 8 inch document at 300 dpi in PS CS2 and attempt to use the smudge tool as these tutorials suggest, it is so sluggish as to be unusable. Can someone offer suggestions? I figured that was a reasonably small document to make, but maybe I'm wrong.

I have a Pentium 4, 3.4GHz machine with 2 gigs of RAM on WinXP. Any help is appreciated.

Shane, click on brush tip and make sure you have 'spacing 'unchecked. Thats the suggestion that helped me. Try that.

Thank you! That helped tremendously. That and I backed the Strength down a bit, too, which seemed to improve the subtlety-factor.

:)

[Shane Sanders]

Yeah, I think I'll be able to use this technique a lot. It's nice to do roughs in grayscale, just worrying about light and form.

[SulaMoon]

Make sure you uncheck the spacing option, in the main brush window.

Thank you. Yeah, Queensoul mentioned that just a few posts back. It really made it work perfectly. I think this technique is great for people like me who want to use textures a lot. And the technique also works great for the color layer, making blends between them.

[SulaMoon]

yeah, I saw it just after I posted - my browser playing tricks on me!:D

And yes, that blender is awesome. I was messing with this scatter setup and some custom brushes.. I will post the results later heh

[Glenfx]

Right after i suffered a great deal blending a huge image with the painfully slow blender T_T
I coudnt work the blender in CS3 so i had to do it in CS2. I guess its better late than never :thumbsup:

Thanks for the tip Queensoul

BTW: unchecking the spacing on both CS2 and CS3 and its quite faster in CS3.. go figure :shrug:

[ceresz]

Hey Warpy, I noticed you had most of his images. Is there a way that I could persuade you to post a downloadable pdf of these tutorials?

[Shanytc]

Cool stuff!

[jt4470]

Hi, love the tutorials Nebezial. I'm really learning! I have a question, do you have tips on painting hair and realistic fur?
Doing creatures like wolves and such but I have no clue how to do them (other than painstakingly drawing each strand, lol).
Thanks!

[Timpan88cg]

wow the grayscale technique is awesome ; thanks ! :D

I just tried it out , painted one side and pasted over to the other side. But for a quicky it looks good to me :D also this my first grayscale.

[nebezial]

holy crap why is this thread still active?????

well since it is i gues there are gonna be some updates in about a month or so, as im waiting for my new lenovo tablet pc to arrive and it is so strong that it will easily handle making ...FINALLY video tutorials

i will be putting a voiceover too.... and even though im quite eloquent as far as my english speaking skils go, i do have this... russianish bit of an accent

ill try and figure out how to host that stuff.... its problematic, because for a proper video tutorial i cant do the speed up thing so i will probably limit them to several tutorials covering different stuff

so in short feel free to post your demands so i can make a list
and keep in mind, methods i show you, ways i treat the form, color values... are not the right way, they are merely my way so never stop at one schmucks opinion, you live---you learn
