scanning, scanning at high res is mildly time consuming.

I'll be waiting to see that

I know you're concentrating on lion parts, but would any other breed of cat work out? That entire cat book is a plethora of cat posses.

The fur color and texture might be different. I'll have to experiment further and see the outcome ^^"

i understand the fur texture will be different, but wouldn't you be able to adjust the colors to make them unison?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes I can ^^ But sometimes it just wouldn't blend well.... I'm doing his legs now, long way to go...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm worried about the flame at the end of his tail....i've yet to see a flame used in a photo manip and it not look cheesy.

The hair and the flame are nothing I've done before

i wish you the best of luck possible. btw, are you placing Red in a backdrop?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you ^^ Perhaps one without backdrop as wallpaper and one with backdrop.... I'm still wondering about the backdrop, perhaps something similar to a scene in Advent Children.

have you played the game? Nanaki (red's real name) comes from a place thats very tribal and its very representational of native American culture. Maybe place him in that kind of setting?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nanaki is a nickname given by fans isn't it? O_o Yea I remember a scene of him standing on a cliff edge... I'll have to see if the pose would fit. If it doesn't then I'll have to go with something more urban like this [link]

the link didn't work, that site forbids hotlinking
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, that'd be more appropriate than what i was thinking of....this is easily available and more relevant.

Nanaki is his name in the game (when you visit his real home "town" and discover that his real name isn't RedX111 as given to him by his captors).

Then I must have remembered wrongly

i have a small collection, never played them, but DID watch all of 7 and some of the other ones lol

I'm never a fan of RPGs, I prefer games that require skills and reflexes ^^

i used to be like that, now i'm in love with simulations such as Animal Crossing

Ok I've heard of that game xD Sounds like fun.

its addicting...when people say its addictive, they're usually not kidding.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'd better stay away from it then 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
me either. well, although I have time this summer with school being out an all, i'd rather do things like what we're doing and practice illustrating and bettering my technique...its an addiction thats insatiable.

k, three scans for ya. its not a bother, my comp is fast enough to handle high res scan jobs.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lovely poses. Thank you so much ^^ Although the picture is high res but the print quality suffers a little... I'll see if I can sharpen them. Thank you so much for your time. I appreciate it deeply.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thats either my scanners fault or my fault. But I did try to grab references that offered big photos so that quality wouldn't suffer as much.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, it's the print quality of the book it ain't your fault ^^ Don't worry.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh thank god LOL, here I thought it was because I didn't know what the hell I was doing, and to think I go to art school for graphic design!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Graphic designer ^^ Sweet. I graduated from art school in animation arts.

o rly? What school did you go to? I go to Tyler School of Fart.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Some local Fart School which teaches nothing much technically but concepts.... I learnt almost everything myself

you remember more when you teach yourself.

i'll even upload some feathers for you. I got bird images as well.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Don't bother about the feathers ^^ I've got them already. Thank you so much!

::wishes she had her feather collection with her::

btw, whats the file size and resolution you're working at? because I don't want to upload an image thats too small.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm currently working at 3000 x 2000 pixels for this piece... I could only use photos of this size and quality [link]
Guess I won't have problems with patching the body parts except the tail and paws.... I'll continue searching for them tonight ^^ Btw, I spent the whole night browsing through thousands of stock photos just to find the appropriate feathers O_o" Manips are a pain when it comes to finding stocks.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
good news, I found an Eyewitness Book on CAT, and there were alot of lions in it. many with the similar body pose you were talking about. I'll upload them within the hour or so
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you so much!! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i already scanned some in. i'll just throw them into my scraps just in case. i'll link you
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
btw, did you try to grab a big-ass animal photo book and just scan in the imagery?
Do you need more lion parts? I might have some stuff I can scan in at high res and post it for ya. drop me a note and let me know what you need and i'll check my collection.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I browsed through hundreds of stock pics and only a few are usable... I'm looking for sharp, high res photos and most importantly ones that fit the angles of its legs ^^" I'd appreciate it deeply if you have some lion photos to spare, especially for the paws ^^ I'll note you if I can't find what I need.... thank you so much!
Btw.... I remember you.... have we talked before?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
yeah, i was the bum that was enthralled with your garou and was all like "i wanna do photo manips too!!! but i don't know how to do them cuz i'm a tard". The tutorials on DA that i've found really didn't seem that helpful for my goal.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I took over 30 hours clearing the heap of 1700 messages.... I remember your Dragon Roll and Insomnia Bunny xD I love your works! If you're really keen to learn I'll be glad to impart all my techniques to you ^^ But bear in mind that you'll need alot of patience for manips.

i'm up for patiences, I just need explinations on what Photoshop is doing when i'm telling it to do something. Evidentally I remember things better when I know what the program is doing to my images.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'll try my best to teach then. You'll need a couple months of hands on and experimenting before you'll get familiar with it ^^
