Please welcome our first member for this group SOTM is Phat.

*Also updated first post with threads.*

*Bump*

Please join to talk about graphics, get comments on your artwork, ect.

What is your favorite style of making a tag?
Me, I like to give them a glowing shine and playing with brushes.

Yeah, I like to give them a shine too. I really like them to stand out most of the time. What type of graphic do you like to make the most anyway?

Sigs. I haven't done avatars before.

Avatars are a little hard for me because there is not that much room for you to do the background and all. What I usually do is if the customer requested an avatar, I make them a banner, then crop out the main focal of the banner and make it the avatar. So they get a banner and an avatar! It's a great deal even if they didn't request for a banner.

I see... But some, like the Umbreon/Espeon/Roxas sig I couldn't make an avi out of it. xD
Though I could on this Absol one.

Newest emote: O__O =
but with larger eyes in the next version.

It looks really awesome, how did you make it?

decapitated it
Took the original sprite and removed the head and fixed some missing parts.
Real easy but some *like the Squirtle one, shudders* NEVER turn out well...

That's cool. I would like to see you make a Victini emote.

Victini? I think I have his sprite...

If not I know the best place to get rendered sprites ^^

And where is the place? I could add it to the front post.

*If you have any renders you would like to submit here please post here! If you post the render here, it must be a render that you have made.*

This does look interesting, I might join.
Would this fit in well in the "Graphics Tutorials" section? With it being a tutorials thread, resources, and an index for the other tutorials to do with graphics, it could be stickied there.
I'll submit an application when I have enough things I've made, and I think they're better than average.

Yeah probably Spiri. It would be nice to get it stickied as well. Though it's up the Staff here. And can't wait for your application.

I don't see it being stickied, but I will move it to graphics tutorials in a second.

Well thanks for moving it. Though it could get stickied because this thread could be very helpful to find renders, information, ect. Though it's your choice really.

EDIT: Also welcome Spiri, our Assistant designer and AxA, our new member.

Yayness! I'm a member

I like Gimp the best. It's free, and very easy to use.
