[FF7 project-G]

[TDR]

bevel and emboss are filters.

^indeed

is it really that hard for you to comprehend that you must use the brush and paint your stuff?!

 

[CombatTheWombat]

I tired a lot and just couldnt make anything I liked, so I give up. Im good at skinning but not at makin icons ><

 

[varsaigen]

same :/ Although I should give it a try sometime. lol

 

[Soul of Death]

My Other Elements

Alright, I'm done my elements now. They are Burning Wheel of Flames, Freezing Blast, Rock Smash, and Wind Wall. Hope you like them.

Hmmm, the pictures aren't showing up. Trying to fix them as we speak.

Edit: Fixed, they should show up now, but they are increased in size so they might be blurry, My fire one is in a previous post (page 9).

 

[Sansui]

New Icon, I dunno which it will replace but the rules don't state we can't do more than 4.
Earth, Festering Roots:

 

[Kimbo]

Are you crazy? Forcing people to work at 512x512 is retarded, and such a resolution is unneeded to work on in the first place
I'm not sure if this has already been discussed, though

Too bad, so sad.

changing it to 256, take it or leave it.

 

[~Void~]

Too bad, so sad.

My god I hate it when people say things like that. It makes them look like such a dick. T_T

So why are we having to work on an ICON at hi res like that? I use 128 most of the time because that way my details don't get too screwed up when I shrink it. I think one must trust another to the point where one does not hinder another's work just to check for authenticity. We are a community that trusts one another, are we not?

 

[Infinitynexus]

No, were not, if you had actually looked through all the pages, you would see all the CnP and Filter bullshit, that is clearly against the rules stated at the start of the contest. Therefore, it appears that we cannot trust one another.

 

[FF7 project-G]

here just to satisfy your need wulf that i aint cnping heres a wip of lightning

 

[SuPa-]

is It Really That Hard For You To Comprehend That You Must Use The Brush And Paint Your Stuff?!

but dat r impausible d:

Eh, why can't we use filters? I don't see that on the rules.

 

[SuPa-]

Because filters suck
Werewulf, then if I join I'm working in 128, so ha!

 

[TDR]

SuPa-, did you turn gay or something? what's with those colors man...

FF7 project-G, that looks more like a railgun projectile trail than lightning. Don't try to complicate things, the simpler the better, you don't have to show everything you know in a single drawing.

 

[~Void~]

This is a really early WIP of my fire icon at 256x256 >:|. I don't even know what it's going to be yet, but this is my background.

 

[varsaigen]

FF7, I'm sorry, but I feel that I have seen that somewhere before... :/ I just reconized the general idea.

 

[TDR]

Sorry to go off topic here, but what's with the peon icon in front of the username some of us are getting? looks like more and more people get it...some kind of new ranking system?

 

[varsaigen]

I see it now too. I have no idea what it's for but it makes us looks like we are pathetic. I see that it is rating us as Peon = noobs, grunt = better than u!!! , and stuff like that. I think we should tell Ralle to get rid of it.

 

[TDR]

you calling me a noob?

 

[~Void~]

Yeh only a few people have it. I think Ralle has to add them manually or something, that is why it's taking so long, but I recently posted the idea that every user should have an icon next to their name so we don't get forum mods and resource mods and admins mixed up. I guess he followed my suggestion Anyways, I like it.

[/off topic]

Let's get back on topic.

 

[SuPa-]

SuPa-, did you turn gay or something? what's with those colors man...

No, I'm just seeing if it annoys people


Rawr glowy rock!
I don't like it

 

[TDR]

I was going to say that I like it in order to make you feel better, but I won't because I'm evil.

 

[varsaigen]

TDR, no im not. god... I am just saying that's what it looks like. Why would I call myself a noob? Anyways, I still don't like it.

Off-topic (lol): Can we get back ON TOPIC?

Anyways, that icon looks like a brain. But it's still cool!

 

[FF7 project-G]

well heres my epic fail lightning.i merged layers so i couldnt undo the colorfull lightning. BTW lightning=epic fail w.o filters for me

 

[varsaigen]

nice hand, wierd soldier. I wonder why a soldier would stand there and let the guy strike him down with lines? lol

 

[~Void~]

Here's something I came up messing around with various tools + brushes in Photoshop for about 20 mins D:. I like it much better than my first thing.
It's a flaming fist! I think I will rotate it though. Note that the image will be shrunk to like 56x56 not 64x64 and then the borders added on.

Edit: And it needs knuckles... D:

 

[inverted]

Nice, really nice

rep me plz

rep whore

 

[~Void~]

Hmm as to mine I looked at it from a distance, it looks like a regular hand with red stuff around it. I think I will brush around it and make it more red.

 

[varsaigen]

FF7, now you changed your icon to a lightning symbol???

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Well, I finally made one that I dont totally hate. Its my earth one, called Land Slide. I know it sucks but like I said I am not very good at this.

 

[varsaigen]

lol looks like mud.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Thats the idea

 

[varsaigen]

ah. Then you made it quite well. Looks like mud. :3 and it's still clear!

 

[Kimbo]

Okay from what I see the current wips/entries are fine. Ill be away for a couple of days so keep up the work people and make sure it clears with the rules. Goodluck,

HT. Your lead now.

 

[Deolrin]

No, I'm just seeing if it annoys people


Rawr glowy rock!
I don't like it

I think looks like gold nugget, >_<. still, it is nice, SuPa-.

 

[Technomancer]

Not sure if it fits the rules exactly... I took the whole nature spin on the earth element. But anyway, here's the first of my icons, with the 512x512 original. I'll upload my icons as in the correct format when I have all of them done.

 

[Sansui]

New earth icon.
Stone Pillar

And just to keep them all together.

Frozen Death

Ice Torrent

Rock Fall

Stone Daggers

Festering Roots:

Stone Pillar:

 

[Burning_Dragoon5]

Update

I've decided to keep the idea, but I remade the ice needles
Here is the new WIP (for now, the spikes haven't been made, only the needls are)
Here is the 512 image:

Here is the "iconified" size version:

All is freehand (no filter used, only layers and brushes)
Oh, and i'm using Gimp 2 (PS is on the other computer)

 

[Sansui]

New Icon... not the greatest but I'm super tired.
Flash Freeze!

[Deolrin]

Cool, frozen orc!

 

[Ezikielth]

God... sorru san but I coulnt tell what the hell that last one was until debode said something... mby a tad bigger? Right now it looks like pretty colors

 

[FF7 project-G]

gah idk if my icons will be that good w/o using filters but ehh ill try some more. 2nd place isnt that bad
EDIT-wont be doing any for today(or majority of it) because im animating a good ironman model

 

[Ezikielth]

who are you suggesting will get 1st?

 

[FF7 project-G]

might be you or sansui by the looks of it so far

 

[Ezikielth]

Well... then if its one of two people how could you get 2nd?

 

[FF7 project-G]

you havent seen the icons im doing atm

 

[Deolrin]

no filters, FF7?

 

[FF7 project-G]

this has no filters. All i did was play around w/ opacity and colors. The orc is from school when i got bored and decided to draw(computer class). Its plain orc no shading nothing

 

[Deolrin]

orc? i see no orc...
