Lordy, how do you color your stuff?

I separate the lines from the background and color beneath them in PS.

And you do that just for the style that it produces?

I do it cuz it's easy.

^Amen.

Anyways, I currently have a work in progress...but I don't feel like posting it yet.

Good work guys!

PS
What does the magic wand do?
 
RE: GDI Smeargle, Spit That Out! - "It's okay, I'm an artist"

The magic wand selects a color range in an image (I.e. a white background). It's usually quite a bit less acurate than the Polygonal Lasso tool, but it takes like two seconds.

Another more personalized (but still easy) way to do it is to go to Select>Color Range>Selected color (or Black or White, whatever you happen to want to select.)
 
RE: GDI Smeargle, Spit That Out! - "It's okay, I'm an artist"

My Pse doesn't have select color range.
If anybody's wondering, that's why all my scanned stuff has pixelated lineart. I need to scan it that way to be able to remove the background easily.

My first piece of art in a while. I like it, and hopefully you all will too. Enjoy:

Wow. That's an amazing comeback, lilsparks. Words can't describe the talent you have.

Sparks, did you draw that? Or is it just a banner?
 
RE: GDI Smeargle, Spit That Out! - "It's okay, I'm an artist"

I used the render I provided in my post, 2 fractals, 2 stock images. It's Graphic Design so I didn't draw it, but I made it using the resources that I've compiled. I can show you the PSD file and exactly what I used if you'd like.

In fact, since I just downloaded all of my materials I'd be happy to share them with anyone who wants to know what I use. Just let me know so I can put it all together.

That sounds fantastic.

Anyways, been obsessive over OCs recently.

What exactly are OCs? They look interesting :eek:

OC stands for Original Character, and since I'm a geek, I make a bunch of Original Characters that are Pokemon, Keronians, and a bunch of other fan-art stuff. They're pretty fun to play around with. Like imaginary friends.

...

Wow, I sound sad. Trust me, it's better than I made it sound.

What I've been up to the last few days -

I always wanted these four on a team bah humbug to only 3 per party -.0 only choose Ayla over Chrono cuz of slurp kiss ;p And very few refs used; I mostly drew from memory.
 
RE: GDI Smeargle, Spit That Out! - "It's okay, I'm an artist"

No it's not sad. I wish I had an imagination like that lol.

End of Day 1. Apparently smudging is all I can kinda do at the moment.

It may just be my computer being stupid, but the hair seems kind of pixally at the end...

Also, I don't know too much about flow, but it seems off. The green is the the back, but the blue streaks seem to be heading for the watcher. So, it just seems a little off. Beyond that, I like it!

Also, thanks. Most people don't.
