ZEN TUTORIAL 04: CLIPPING MASKS, BLENDING OPTIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS

~Zen

From: KimPilgrim | #174
Generations Lost was the bomb.

Oh boy oh boy!

is this good

--
~Zen

I work with names by either cutting them from the cover, downloading the official font or picking one that captures the "feel" of the game from dafont

I then use a clipping mask to texture the name and then hit it with some adjustment layers, bevels and stoke/dropshadow to make it a little less loud

If anyone needs a tutorial for clipping masks or adjustments, let me know

--
~Zen

YES

no final fantasy font, though?

I guess it's for the best, it gets used a lot

--
~Zen

took me a second to find ammy's head and figure out what orcha is, but I don't think that's your fault, I think it's the art style

I like your font there

good work all around, I am proud

--
~Zen

"eh"

--
~Zen

I dunno I just made one

I posted mine a few posts up, feel free to steal it. use a selective color adjustment layer on it and alter the cyan levels to change the color of the star if you need to. I hold no copyright on a crappy shape tool

--
~Zen

Had to make my own KATHERINE logo using the puppet warp tool

--
~Zen

always save your work

it just crashed on me

BUT I AM OK CUZ I SAVED A LOT

--
~Zen

don't feel discouraged! all match pics turn out good if you put the effort in, no matter how talented you are!

remember, you can IM me about pretty much any problem you're having. The only thing I CANNOT do is painting, although I'm taking a course in photoshop painting now to fill that hole

--
~Zen

ZEN TUTORIAL 01: PRESERVING TRANSPARENCY


^WHAT THIS ONE IS SUPPOSED TO SAY IS "LOOK AT THIS BUTTON"

^THIS ONE IS SUPPOSED TO SAY "IF YOU DON'T HIT THIS BUTTON WHEN YOU SMEAR OR BLUR, YOUR S*** WILL FLY OFF THE RENDER"

^THIS ONE IS SUPPOSED TO SAY "IF YOU HIT THIS BUTTON YOU CAN SMEAR ALL YOU WANT BUT IT WON'T LEAVE YOUR CHARACTER"

--
~Zen

wow paint can't save quality at all

hoooold on

--
~Zen

I do not flood it! I control the trickle

--
~Zen

ZEN TIP OF THE DAY:

when using a tool like the magic eraser or magic wand, if you uncheck "contiguous" in the options bar up top when using these tools, you will then stop only selecting things attached to what you clicked, but every pixel of a similar color across the entire piece

Like if you had two pink areas with a black bar splitting them down the middle. If you magic erase a pink area with "contiguous" selected, then it'll only get that one pink side, and stop at the black bar. With contiguous unchecked, clicking on one pink side will erase both of them.

The power of contiguity.

~Zen

I'm always on and stuff, I love all of you

I learned the puppet tool today! Helps you pose rendered characters without making it too obvious. You can still teach an old dog new tricks!

I might back off doing a lot this year just cuz I always flood the submission box. I feel bad when a match pic is like "Submitted by ZenOfThunder (3), Justin_Crossing)

~Zen

some kid was screaming about how he doesnt like how starfire was sexualized in red hood and how he'll never read DC again, but his computer background (AT SCHOOL) was a bunch of semi-hentai pictures of starfire from the teen titans cartoon basically naked and posing on a loop (THAT HE DREW)
