Description
The BloodRayne image is something I've had lying around since I wrote FFFF and since I couldn't find a picture of her in that outfit with a white background again I dug this up to make less work for me. Though it's funny how something simple becomes complicated as you go on. Editing a figure to hold a guitar, pretty easy right. No. *insert complication after compication here* The main problem was editing out the gun she held in her right hand simply because I had to use some smudging and other color tricks to cover up the parts the guitar didn't.See I have no problem taking a character and erasing the background since I do that all the time for sigs, but when it comes to actually altering the image like say simply removing her swords and guns to make it look like she is holding nothing, or something else is something I tend to shy away from. I'm not that skilled with Photoshop. I can take away, but I can't really add. I'm not one of those people with mad skills that could totally reedit this image to make it look like she has a completely different outfit for example.
Other than that I had a little trouble trying to deciding what guitar to use. Either the B.C. Rich Son of Beast Avenge or the DeanDimebag Razorback V . In the end I chose the original Razorback because I wanted that X shaped guitar and edited it to be have a red trim instead of silver.

ThatΒ΄s cool, RayneΒ΄s great and damn, you sure chose a great guitar too, I love the design and Dimebag was among the best, if not the best, guitarist in metal genre. *listens to Pantera* xD Well, good job!

Thanks. Ever since I saw the Razorback in a guitar magazine I've wanted one, but I dont have $1,000 to spend on a guitar when I already have a good one. Pantera is awesome, Dimebag is definately one of the best guitarists. It's a sharp looking guitar, like seriously just playing it could kill someone

Hahhaa, yeah... xD Personally, IΒ΄m thinking to start guitar playing, at the moment IΒ΄m kinda practising with a borrowed guitar. ^_^ Razorback would be damn great, but agreed with you... And, some models are around 1500$ as I know actually.

Cool, guitar is pretty fun. I've been playing for a few years now. I was lucky enough to get my guitar for like $300 new, its damn nice too. B.C. Rich Metal Master's Warlock. I wish it had a whammy bar though.

Yeah, whammy bar would be nice... And needed if you want to play like Dimebag! xD I donΒ΄t know what guitar IΒ΄m getting yet, if IΒ΄m getting one.

Just do some reasearch and figure out what you want. When I bought mine I didn't know much about guitar and I was just learning so I was looking for something cheap. The fact that is looked badass and came with a practice amp won me over in an instant.

It's very fitting! And Rayne obviously has a good taste in guitars judging by that Dean Razorback. I like, hehe, glad to see I'm not the only one that thinks she looks hot with a guitar.

Good work on extracting the gun! It looks pretty good actually. I always find that the clone tool is very very handy when trying to extract things like text or other unwanted parts of an image. It's worth having a play with if you've not used it before.
Good choice of guitar too, it suits her!

I'll have to try that, thanks for the tip. Basically all I did was on the parts that still showed I colored over it using the eye droper to get different colors used on her dress and whatnot and just smudged them together.
Thanks on the guitar. I wanted something that looked as sharp and deadly as she did with a black and red color scheme and the Dean Razorback is one of the sharpest guitar designs out there (litterly too).

Awesome that's the other way to do things draw them in. The clone tool comes in handy if say the image has a sanned texture to it or you and finding it difficult to select the colours and blend them together. I'm not sure if you've tried to use it before but you basically hold alt down and click on the area you want to sample, then let go of alt and your cloning away. I pretty much exclusively use the clone tool on this [link] wallpaper on Haruhi's hat and gun to remove the text. Smudging just looked cack because of the scan texture...
Hahaha I'm probably boring you! I'll shut up now! lol!

Nah you're not, every little bit helps. I didn't even know PS had a tool like that and have never used it myself. I just use the square selector lassoo thing and copy a section of the image and edit that so if I screw up I still have the original layer.

Thanks. I'm working on a sig for it now, though I'm get distracted by some good riffs I feel the need to play.
