Nothing special. But any time I do these people who dont know anything about graphic design are always like OMG!

Kinda like my first vector. Its the GIMP Mascot Wilbur.

I was pretty proud of this. Made it from scratch. Got the idea from a picture that looked like a zipper but I looked close and it was something else and I wanted it to so i made it. I would say this is my first good quality vector.

I wanted to make the zippers that arent together kinda bend but I couldnt do it. It'll take a while to do it so ill update.

Quick Q?!When im making stuff what size canvas should I use? Or what proportion. Cause I can size it down but I cant size it up.

O and my sig. But thats no biggy. Thought it would be good to have a picture with my name laying around.

Always start really big, then you can just size down to whatever size you need later.

Yeah and I'll drop some critique later, because I am lazy now.

[Maccabee]

haha, ok. I dont really understand like proportions though. Like you can change 1600x1200 to 1024x768 without losing any of the image or stretching it. So do you uasually make a new picture 1440x900 or 1600x1200? Or something even bigger?

I usually size everything for prints (size of paper 8.5inx11in), for my portfolio. Then I'll size them down for online showcasing.

What is that in pixels? I usually only work in pixels to make things on the web easier.

O and is anyone going to actually comment or critique my stuff!

[none345678]

1: lol This one is funny, I figured it was your face. I knew it wasn't his. =P

2: This one is, I guess, just unrealistic. More could have been done.

3: I don't have really anything to say, it's cute I suppose

4: This one is kinda cool, you should keep working on it. Make it something more than a wallpaper.

The size of paper? It's (8.5in x 11in) which in px is (2550px x 3300px) I recommend using 300ppi resolution for printing.

hmm...I usually like working with images that are wider than their height. And to use a image that big I would seriously need a faster computer.

With an image that big it would take 30 for it to select a circle the size of it.

Invest in a better computer?

[Maccabee]

Im in the process right now. Im gonna make a computer with 4gb ram and a 3.16ghz processor. And it will have xp, or seven, or openSUSE

i'm going to be honest. the first one gives me the creeps. the second one's ok, i'd want to see it in color though. the third and fourth one, what Abbey said.

[manny-the-dino]

1) As far as editing & merging the images, you did a pretty good job. The tones are fairly the same. Buuuuuuuuut your head looks too small & I dk, it just looks a bit creepy. Is that a scar on your face?

2) Again, good job merging the pictures but your eyes look too big & separated.

3) It's cute. Nice job.

4) I agree with Abbey as well. Nicely done.

[Mikeplyts]

1. It's alright for editing and merging the pics. I agree with Nat that it's just kind of creepy and small. lol.

2. This one is nice but the eyes don't look like they're in their 'normal position' so it just kind of looks like some expert artist painted some eyes on your hands.

3. It's nice. Nothing really bad to say.

4. I too agree with Abbey. Good job. :)

[Maccabee]

I moved the eyes away on purpose.
And I think the face looks awckward cause the original head was looking a little farther down. And the guys face was a little awckward. I just put my eyes where his were.

[Mikeplyts]

^Oh, I get cha. You know what would be cool though? If you could make an animation where you show the guys face normal and then as the hands move over, the eyes appear on the hands instead of the face, if you get what I mean. :p

[Firiath]

1) I think I'm being a little mean... But his face kinda looks fat for his body
2) I agree with Mike

^Oh, I get cha. _smile.gif You know what would be cool though? If you could make an animation where you show the guys face normal and then as the hands move over, the eyes appear on the hands instead of the face, if you get what I mean. :p

3) tbh, I hate the GIMP mascot =[ But it's a good job although the shading could blend in a little more
4) It's too plain and the lighter patch makes it look as though it's a wannabe metal/glass/plastic object >.<
