You've seen taz93's work I've done... I also did one for King of PEZ and one for Rob1234 (or 4321) I like those a bit better... the explosion for rob was VERY hard to make, as it was my first attempt on something like that. I found it hard to make, as I only did fire effects, no full explosions

He wanted a black background... that's why I did it, but thanks for the comment

Version 1.03


(it may look stretched, but it's supposed to be to fit in with the website at another resolution)

Fiddling with some colors and applying a grainy texture...

Thanks! What do you think of my latest work on this page?... Need some... *ahem* C&C on that

Yeah I remember you, what do you think of my graphics?
And why did you change your usersname???

It isn't nice, but I'm just trying out several new things to me on existing images I have...
3 days ago I figured out patterns and brushes...
2 days ago I learned my first real brush attempt on backgrounds and erasing with brushes, now I finally get the ever so popular scanline effect


Figured that out on my own

One day... Silver_Tidus and Tres will have yet another competition

I will I will
*boots up ps*

EDIT:
*uploads*

This is just a quick one I made... It was part of a brush set for abstract banners, but I'm not good with brushes, so I trew in a plaster effect and set the layer to color dodge...

By the way, in the process I came up with the logo shown in the bottom right corner, which I'm going to use in every one of my graphics from now on Ofcourse not so visable...

Yesterday I made a quicky of a space background (just little stars) with some grass growing...

That's actually not such a bad idea... but I think I'll remove the rain then, instead of moving stars and rain, guess it will be to crowded...

By the way, what does opaque mean? English insn't my mother language...

Was surfing, saw that SA is coming 7th of june to the pc, so in all my happiness I made a quick banner... Took approx 15 min. to complete, but you can see that, as there is a major quility loss...

I found a thread in loungin' called your worst habit?
Ofcourse with all my fuzziness and tired head I read something else

I haven't improved at all lately... why you ask? I am in the middle of my exams... But in two days I'll be all in/over photoshop again, and I promise by the end of this summer I'm half a Silver_Tidus

I'm done with my exams so I'll be making ALOT of graphics again! And improving too

latest signature:


Again... just some brushing... I really suck at it

I hope along side all my images? Otherwhise I'll have to rape my own bandwith for it

Oh and btw... thanks for the comment HIFK

It needs a whole lot of improvements, but I'm currently concentrating on making my own patterns and backgrounds from sratch... Not like other people using existing images and all, well this is one of the patterns I did...

Of course it's not top notch yet... But seeing as you like this way I'm trying to go into too, I'll just have to expand and improve... One day I will have my own unique style which definitly looks good

In the RuneScape forum we can make templates for dynamic signatures, related to RuneScape... I've made a warrior and a mage. Both of them only needed a background, but now my mage is complete.

I think this is my best work so far, and I'm VERY VERY proud of it



EDIT: I've putten one and a half hour in total in this one... that's without breaks.

Does THIS look anything like you can make with GIMP?!



No.. I use photoshop CS2 thank you...

It took me half an hour to make that planet!!!

And I've been doing it for a year now, not active I must add... By the way, your work isn't top notch either... it's good, but defintely not the best

Finally I'm back again. I've had a very busy period with school and all, so I haven't been able to do any GFX at all. I thought it was time for something new, so I made a wallpaper
I made a thumbnail for it, I hope you'll like it.

They wanted me to enter the Pokemon Ranger header contest... I had no inspiration. Contest is due 30th of October.

Header entry #1:



EDIT:

Header entry #2:

It's been a very long time since I actually updated my Digital Portfolio.

I decided to update it again regularly.
I've made some work over the past month, but I decided to keep most for myself (it's mostly banners and such).

However now I got a new signature, delighted to show you all.
It's a photo manipulation, worked a lot with lightning effects, contrasts and color balance.
(note for copyright, my name is blended in the bottom left corner)

Thanks
They don't seem like big changes, but believe me, it took me a pretty long time to get every setting to fit perfectly.

I used seperate layer levels on the mountains to make them a bit more visible, feathered on the light effect with color balance etc. etc.
So it took some time, but I'm proud of the result

Finally back again. I haven't been still on Photoshop at all, just still on updating my portfolio
I'll show some newer work of me lately. I just finished creating this tribal design for myself. However I'm not pleased, so I'll continue to work on it.
Until then, just feast on my old work. I'll update the rest tomorrow. Got some wallpapers and random shizzle for you guys

I finally figured out brushing, after a very long break of photoshopping...
So here is my first piece that I made with a grunge brush set I like it (note: I'm new to this)



edit: Sig killed, thanks Enigma

Ok, thanks for the comments you guys
I will try to get a better firey feel to it.

edit: Tried to make the flame look more like fire using the smudge tool. I think theres still room for lot's of improvement though, but it looks a bit better

2^nd edit: Made the flame go into the direction of the car and applied some dodge/burn on the flame.

Making my personal login screen for windows. Decided it goes with my personal Windows logo:

Yeah, I know XD I still have trouble finding a good tech font for it

Anyway, it wasn't the tech part.. it was more the blue coloring that's suiting my current xp theme But tech is relevant too.

Here's a cover I made for myself, to see if I could make a DVD cover. I like the outcome

Thanks dude
I hope I finally win some contest I've always come in second or third..

I know guys. Got a pm of SPLATTERPLATTER too, it was just a case of bad judgement. The guys judging in there don't know shit about graphics. I'm very disappointed as well.
I could on the other hand, start a riot and get all Europe people and G&A forum demand they put me as first
*thinks up plan*

[...]

But that's no reason to say that we all suck and we know shit about graphic design.

That wasn't the reason, and I didn't say you all sucked. I said that there was one who knew graphics, and after reviewing your judgement, I guess there's two who know graphics design, but as silver_tidus said, and I quote:

quote silver_tidus

There is nothing better than a panel of experienced Graphic designers.

I made it onto the Largest Covers site out there
CdCovers.cc with my Failure to Launch cover. I'm very proud of it

Created a new signature. Got inspired by Hybrid's graffiti sigs, so I decided to do my own, but with a golden touch...

I'm trying to make a Naruto signature matching my current avatar, but I haven't got a clue on a background yet...

Anybody with idea's?


completely re-did some parts. I think it looks much nicer right now:


You guys, not commenting within a few minutes sure keeps me inspired making small improvements I'll have it perfected soon without anyone noticing if I keep this up...

Not to be cocky, but I think it looks great too actually
I've spend quite some time doing some things over and over again, but it's worth the result

I decided it was time for something new, so I did something un-creative and over-used
I created two userbars, one by request, and one for myself.

It makes it seem so small... I'd rather use 10, but I saw that my banners font size was on 12, so thanks for the tip
I lost the Ichigo psd. though So I'll have to redo that one.
I redid it and just uploaded over the first one. You were right about the size of the font though It seems better this way.

Thanks guys (and girl ) for the comments

I did the userbars, because they're easy, and I have been short on time recently.
I'll try if I can dig up the original flower again. I have too much crap on my PC, and I don't really organize and save every bit of my graphics

Working on a banner, with a bit of an transparent effect trough it.
It's still in the very basic stages, but anyone has a suggestion to sort of "fill" this banner?

Thanks Enigma
I still love you sig too, but next time, disable it please?

It's an orange glow
As for the font, that was what most resembled the actual Neoseeker font...
I didn't want to go to all the trouble re-creating the entire Neoseeker letters I'm lazy

(small) edit: Changed the outer glow to a 1px stroke, since it isn't a noticeable outer glow with that stupid .gif extention.
I want my png!

Thanks! appreciate that!
For the champagne one, the quality shown here is quite low though. I have it in perfect quality, but that would take ages to load for most users.

Faster way would to be including a .psd file to see how I made them, but I might post one in the tutorials subforum... It's quite a pinch getting them just right though...

Some small updates. I made two requested userbars, and I finished the invitation for our guests in the new year. The text says some details in Dutch, and I edited the text on the bottle, since it's a wine bottle and no champagne bottle.

Userbars:





Small invitation update:



Now I just need to think about my Christmas banner this year. Maybe I'll just put a Christmas hat on my Neoseeker "O".

Wow, I really haven't done anything on my PS skills lately. I've only made one thing actually, because I'm too busy with school and all. Actually I'm too busy for Neoseeker, let alone Photoshop.

I re-colored the girl, from gray to the skintone you see right now. It was a simple job, not much effort was put into it, except the re-coloring

The canvas was because of a poor crop job and well, for the blending, you're right.
I haven't done any PS in a very long time. If I have the time you'll get to see some new pieces with much better results.

The black one is identical to the blue one, yet somehow it looks more choppy... I redid the O completely with the pen tool and still it doesn't come out as smooth as I want to....
Might be because the pillow emboss is also black.

By the way Vector, the yellow stroke was meant to be a orange glow at the time, but couldn't fit because of Neo size limits.
Thanks for both of your comments by the way!
