Description WAIT GUYS HOW DO YOU ADD THAT NICE CUSTOM THUMBNAIL PIC??

Whew finally finished.

Well this is the tutorial that I said I'll do all the way back in January. It covers basically how I color the face and hair.

Well I put a lot of work and thought into this, and hopefully those who asked will find it useful. If you are a beginner, you might want to read this as well:[link]

It's the tutorial that I first learned how to CG from .

For those of you read it, I'm curious as to what you think so please leave a comment if its not too much trouble.

I feel that I haven't explained some of the steps very clearly so if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them here.

Notes:
1: Example of LIGHT:[link]
Example of SHADOW:[link]

Pretty good tutorial! Makes me wanna try Painter now. I'd use Photoshop, but mine tends to crash my whole PC when I work at large resolution, grrr....

iDNAR In reply to mr-mister [2005-08-29 16:50:43 +0000 UTC]

Yea photoshop is a resource hog. I need 1 GB ram to run it efficently.

mr-mister In reply to iDNAR [2005-08-30 00:03:34 +0000 UTC]

My whole PC only has 1 GB RAM lol! I'll just stick to OC... forces me to work bigger and more detailed in order to get better results out of it anyway

ravnen [2005-08-29 11:01:40 +0000 UTC]

Sweet tutorial, dude ^^

If you're still wondering, Custom Thumbnails are uploaded along with
the main deviation. One the same page where you chose to upload this file.
They're usually gif files (but doesn't need to be) and can be 50 - 150 px... I think.

iDNAR In reply to ravnen [2005-08-29 16:51:17 +0000 UTC]

It says the maximum allowed was 100x100 but I seen many people go over the limit.

The thumbnail..... you upload a smaller customized pic to the "preview" thingie... so if you edit: it's in the title/description part...

jaredjlee [2005-08-29 08:10:30 +0000 UTC]

This might help me out a alot. I seem to always have something I dont like with my cg painting. I always figured it was the colors I choose so maybe if I just use the ones you do I'll be alright.

I'm sure this tutorial is going to help a lot of people.
Thank you.

Oh don't just you my colors or color range, just use the rules and I'm sure you'll be fine.
