Kramy Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 ^ I usually set up by flipping everything in advance. Takes all of a few minutes to do, and you don't need to worry about flipping things later when looking for a part. Looks like some kind of designs to make a papercraft model or something XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes when you flip junk, it like does this hella weird thing where it cuts off a part of the image. Its lame. :( But next time, i might try that out.

Teapot Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) ^ That's likely a canvas size problem. I'd try selecting just one section and doing a flip. However, I only have Vista and Win7 MSP, so I can't really be sure if it's still applicable to older versions.

Loki Laufeyson Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Oh i do that all the time. Just selecting one little part and flipping it around. It still does that though. D: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D: Different background colors are your problem. If you have it set to transparent selection and have the actual bg color as your secondary, and try to rotate something that has a different bg color, it will cut it off for whatever reason.

Sovereign Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 isolate it, and then select it with a bigger box. This.^ When I used MSpaint all the time, that's what I would have to do otherwise it would cut off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 That is brilliant, and something I never would've thought of. Thanks, AK~! I swear I'll find time to enter this. I made a quick mock-up, and I think my idea will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DancingDanny Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Here's my entry! :O) I hope you guys like it! :D It's kind of simple, but I just really wanted to enter! :O) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kratos Aurion Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 The contest this week sure is interesting, couple of really nice entry! I started something and then I saw Jealousy's and Amelia's wtfsuperawsomeomg sprites and I almost gave up.. But I found it a really lame excuse, so I completed my entry Here it is : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 ^Dude's armor is kinda awesome. But the head seems too small and his eyes too close together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sovereign Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 He seems pretty flat too. Very pillowy around his half of armour. He seems to be looking to the left for no real reason, but his body is entirely facing us. Looks like you're trying to make it appear as if he's entirely facing to our left a bit, but shortening one side of armour won't do that, because it's still from a complete front-view. I dig the armour's overall idea though, refined it would look real swell :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nayr Farros Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Well here's my entry. The armor was made by splicing pieces of Pent, Sain, and Jerme's wardrobes. The collar was made by shifting the outline from Sain's armor collar and splicing in shading from Pent's cloak. The face was made from Jerme's faceline, Sain's nose, brows, and mandible, Pent's mouth and eyes. The hair is Sain's with Jerme's bang, and Pent's ponytail.

Kratos Aurion Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) ouuuuu-a-ouuuuu! I like your entry Nayr. The armor just look a bit too large IMO. Like maybe 2 pixels too large on the left side OPV or something. _______ Not sure if I did the good edits, but I changed some stuff on my entry. Is it better or worst? Splicing is like so much harder than customing... and even more when you want to correct stuff..

eclipse Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) I'd argue the reverse, but wrong topic. It looks like you're missing some shading on your guys' forehead (where the hair meets the face). I finally have some time, now what was I doing again? Oh, right. EDIT: I probably need to fix, like, everything, but I'm tired. My brain refuses to comprehend hair shading. ;/ Edited September 2, 2012 by eclipse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deleted35362 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Would it uh, hurt to have a 1 day extension? (might as well ask...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I'd like to second that request. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vampire Elf Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 Ok, mainly cause a few people seem to have half entries, and we've had an awesome turnout so far, lets go and extend another day, i'll put poll up on the 6th.

BrainFreeze Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 [spoiler=whatintheflyingflip] I don't even know. The hair is amazing good, but I think the armor is glitching... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teapot Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Funny, because I basically didn't touch the hair. TBH, I can't be bothered to fix it. I hate splicing, any any more "fixing" may throw me into a realm of excess customing, and frankly, I've been called out far too many times than I'm particularly inclined to tolerate. I'm clearly part of a strange double standard that's only recently gotten better, but I'm not willing to stick around to find out if it improves or regresses again. tl;dr - I'm a fucking bitter raegquatter, that mug is a piece of shit, and I don't care to play with it any more for the sake of this contest. Anything else you'd like to cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teapot Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) I pretty much left the hair how it was. This has nothing to do with the comprehension of hair shading. I just could not be fucked to touch that shit. Edited September 6, 2012 by · j e a l o u s y · Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
