    naw, it's not flash. It's an ambient halo. either backlight or outside. Doesnt matter, it's still a good variety piece. Have you tried contrast masking for complex hair patterns? Ive started in a 255 green masking on grayscale layers for head/hair areas and it seems to be working very well. When you get your layers all set up do you do a new layer from visible, then normalize and re ligh? Or do you just use the base layers adjusted individually.

    There's no middle distance transition in the lighting. Plus none of them are casting a shadow.

    Still pretty cool though.

    For a picture-which I have compiled in 20 minutes, it makes me now but still working properly.
    Like I said, it should not even be anything 100%.
    Ok small errors such as halo and shade it's ok to have overlooked.
    So now my third attempt.

    It's nice to see some actual discussion on artwork in addition to the usual thanks spam. When people take the time to critique, you know they're actually LOOKING at your work.:cheers:

    you work in PS or Gimp? Would you mind posting the original layered file on fileswap.com for us?

    The way I see Cy! are you working with Gimp.
    Since it will probably not get much when I upload the file from MS Paint ;-)
    I am always open to suggestions, I'll do it only existed since about 1 year and there is still much to learn.
    Too bad that not much is going on here, where are all out loltroll, Marquez, DeadLamb, kaos42000 ...

    You work in MSpaint?

    Really?

    As for activity, some seasons are slow and late spring is one. The creative side of the celeb collecting hobby has been declining for years, though there are some like Prevail and Deadlamb that have been going for over a decade that I know of. I think I may have seen Bartap post under a new name the other day, but that may not be him. I think a lot of the problem is the base material isnt nearly as interesting as it used to be although occasionally something good comes along.

    Of course that was with MS Paint just a joke I use PS.
    And with the images so one needs to have an eye for the masses at which I have already seen.
    Since I will always limit myself to 16:10 and not easier with the selection.
    I hope it will soon look on it more here.

    that particular clip just didnt scale up well at all, it's messy with pixelation that smoothing just doesnt improve much.

    This thread has become exactly what I wanted when I created it. You guys rock! ALL of you! Edits/collages are among my favorite things to come off the Internet. I want you to know that this is the first place I visit every day I log in to Phun. I don't comment much because I like the continuous string of GREAT work and I don't think it needs my interruption. Please know that a "Thanks" from me is sincere and not a random button click. ... I also love the conversations from the guys that know what they're doing, as well as the ones who want to learn more. I appreciate all talent levels, and all the posts here, regardless of the different levels of talent here. So I will again become quiet for a while in this thread. Please keep this awesome work coming -- I appreciate all of you!!! ~ 2001pm

    too much flesh tone color? I'm a bit red/green color blind, this looks a bit orangey to me. 1920x1080x98ppi

    Maybe a little over-saturation and orangy Cy. But, it depends on the the artist's (you - LOL) preference! :)
