Anyone want to attempt this?

Archive: 39 posts


okay, so i have started making a Minecraft survival playthrough, and i LOVE my intro image that my friend made, but i would really like a new one, but i know no artists who want to take the time to draw it.

So i thought
http://www.coryeverson.com/coryeverson/assets/images/nav/idea.jpg
Maybe someone on LBPC would do it for me!

So i'm asking you, can you do this?
All i require is a drawing of this

i was hoping for a higher quality one, with better shading and and smooth edges.
this is what a creeper should look like

If you're willing to do this, i would be very happy.
And i will give you a shout out in my videos!

MINECRAFT FTW!!!!

You probably drew that better than I ever would. I should get back to my drawing book and get some practice or something.

I could probably draw it, but I have no way of enhancing it digitally, so it would just be a sketch.2011-05-12 20:52:00

Well maybe add the hood part of my coat? Otherwise, this is AMAZING2011-05-14 00:59:00

added the hood, however there's one problem, if you want it as a clear png file we got three quite annoying options.

option 1. i don't save it as a clear png file............

option 2. i can however move the file from sai to GIMP and from there save it as a clear png (probably).. however when i copy and paste the image GIMP adds a white background anyway... i CAN remove the white background but the image will be about 50% transparent and the colors will be 50% darker. to fix this though you can add a white background in your own edit program (if you got any..) preferable one with "layers" so you can add the transparent layer over the white background, making it "complete" again. the colors will be correct, it wont be transparent anymore and you can move around the characters as you wish. but it will still have a non-clear background if you try to save it..

option 3. we ask some photoshop pro to remove the background perhaps...?

yeah
i have a technique for editing out gray, since not really any of the character is gray i should be able to cut it out pretty easily

PERFECTION!
THANK YOU SOO MUCH!
This will be great for the intro.

Now all i gotta do is create and intro for my creation series and i'm all set!
Thank you once again, now off to edit!

EDIT: wow this was WAY to easy!
http://i672.photobucket.com/albums/vv89/joshofsouls/MinecraftJoshOfSouls.png

EDITEDIT: Added a drop shadow, longer hair and a nose
Man i am going to have to find some epic background for this.

that's awesome!

you could however make the shadows a little shorter and lean a little more to get the perspective with the "floor", right now it sortha looks like you and the creeper would be cardboard cutouts.
but if you're fine with it as it is now it's totally cool. x]

EDIT btw! as for background you could take a screenshot of the actualy game and edit it a little to look like this

eh? eh? :]

haaaaaaaa...

that would take forever though :I
and on second thought, to fit such a giant background we would have to shrink the characters. i could still make the text..? :x

Eeeeeediiiiit: if it you didn't mean that i make the text and then you add a screenshot as background after all? ^____^''

>er, do you illustrate as a hobby or do you actually have a job doing this? I'm only asking because the illustration of that image is really good. Did you draw the image first and scan it into your computer and added more lines and colours with photoshop? It looks a really polished illustration.2011-05-17 19:52:00

it's -so far- just my hobby, in the future i plan to actually work in general artwork stuffz, animation, game design, and all what not. i drew the entire image in my computer with only paint tool SAI and my tablet.
Thanks!

You have a serious talent there, people are always looking for illustrators to, especially ones who can create their own characters, scenes etc. I wish I could draw like that haha.

im not quite as good when it comes to design my own characters though, i've no sense for fashion, nor am i good at drawing impressive buildings or temples and such.
i've never really been intrested in tatoos but those are pretty cool :]



Now josh is this coolio or is there anything i missed? or anything you wanna change?

I think people usually follow other peoples illustrations and draw them and add their own 'twist' and style of drawing to them. My friend at uni did that with different things, for one project he actually drew a sackboy but made it 'his own' by adding his own style to it. It probably takes years to master a skill like you have.

Haa I know what you mean about tatoo's to, I don't really get them, simply because people who usually get them dislike them in years to come and once you have one, you can't do anything about them (unless your rich). But I can see why people like tatoo's like that, they are more illustrated than usual tatoo's.

my style is a mix from millions of diffrent artists, already as a kid i drew stuff from tv games and movies. even though, if you already can draw properly i think my "style" would be pretty easy to learn actually..

tatoo's are just so highly detailed i would never have the patience enough to try em out.

Well, tattoo designing isn't that hard unless you're doing figures or sleeve designs, i do tattoo designs for a tattoo place not that far from my house.

Cool, what sort of tatoo's do you design? Do you get paid for your work?

Mostly basic stuff, nothing to complicated.
And sometimes i do.

They look nice, are you just in to tribal imagery? If you didn't read it in an earlier post I posted my girlfriends tattoos' earlier in the thread. If your interested in viewing them, the link is http://rhianne-almond.deviantart.com/gallery/

If you havent got deviant art, it's quite a decent tool to get your imagery viewed by people around the world. Some of her tattoos has been gotten by people in real life, and one of her popular tattoo designs has been downloaded around 20,000 times. It's mad!

I like all kinds of designs. but tribal seems to fit me better, i plan on having my own tattoo done later this year when i turn 18.
And your GF's designs are very good!

and i do have a DA, but i never post anything because i don't like people judging my art on such a large scale :

It's not like people are judging your talent or anything like that, it's just their opinions, not ev eryone will like everything you do. I'm a graphic designer and getting feedback for your work is one of the most important things you can get. It helps you realise what works and what doesn't. It can help you focus your designs in different directions and may open your eyes to new techniques you may not of found in the past.

And one of the funniest things to happen, is in a few years time and you look back on your past work and realise how crap it was and how far youve come since then. I've done that a lot over the past few years haha.

My graphics and photography artwork can be found in my sig.

Oh hey, Quick update guys, here's the finished version.
Took me a while, my GIMP was screwing up and wouldn't let me save anything.
