Shaman's Icon and Texturing Emporium and Warehouse

[shamanyouranus]

Hey guys, I was getting tired of putting my icon WIPs in concept art, so i can here. YAY!

Here are some terrain textures i made on photoshop. I might make some skins and stuff with these styles.

Blight, Black Citadel Tile, Rough Ice

Comments and criticisms are encouraged and welcome

 

[MasterHaosis]

Hey man nice goones! I like especially Black CItadel!
Anyway first comment! haha

 

[Nichita_00]

Awesome, Wc3 would do better with more terrain/interface types to choose from! Keep it going, anus (lol, anus XD)

 

[Devine]

Blight looks very nice.

 

[Kimbo]

wait, so these are the tilesets or just a single tile?....either way there are faults.

 

[shamanyouranus]

Oh, they are nothing yet, they are merely squares at the moment.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

it looks nothing like blight, its mossy rock, get over it, also the "black citadel" and snow ones are very nice, a bit too detailed to use ingame i would think, also it looks like the snow and "black citadel" especially, were made using a brush type repeatedly,instead of having that nice more natural variation, however they all look very good

 

[Hawkwing]

*cough* filters *cough*. I swear I've used the exact same filters in the past.

 

[shamanyouranus]

yep, isn't photoshop great?

 

[shamanyouranus]

Some random things I made on Paint.Net.

Reactor

 

[anarchianbedlam]

that is really kickass looking, like some sort of government instillation ... from the future, like halo or portal or something

 

[Elfsilver Lord]

As far as I can see, your tilesets are just blank colors using texturizing filters and increasing contrast. I can't really see how that would fall anywhere under acceptable.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

well if you were to grade upon the finished product and not on the process of drawing, i would give it a 5/5, the process would get a 2/5 or so....

 

[Elfsilver Lord]

I don't just admire the work, I admire the process. If someone made a near perfect replica of the Mona Lisa, and the world was amazed, if you where an artist, would you be mad at him if he traced it?

 

[anarchianbedlam]

id be a little mad, depends on how much he traced it, like just a basic outline, then... iono, not THAT mad. so long as its not a color by numbers or if he painted it on tracing paper over the original, then that WOULD be annoying... im getting off topic, what?

Oh right, well ya i guess he didn't freehand it, so to see the texture alone is kinda gaytarded, but if he applied it in tandem with another picture, like say for example using that as a background with someone in front, then it would be completely acceptable.... well depending on how he made the person/thing in front of that. but like this for example... again, assuming he drew the other thing himself

like this

 

[shamanyouranus]

Here's another one I made

Ghostly Energy

 

[anarchianbedlam]

can you say

FILTERS!

... because i can, and i just did

 

[shamanyouranus]

Here's a new version of my Reactor picture, but with a glow now. Which on looks better?

Renders and fractals really aren't considered textures and icons, shaman.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

aww, give him a break, he isnt submitting them as skins or icons, hes just throwing ideas out for what could be used IN icons or skins.... that, OR, he mislabeled the thread

shaman: i dont think it matters with or w/out the glow, they look good either way, now make a robot or a futuristic building model to incorporate this into

... so i dont look like an idoit backing you up ....

.... you know i love ya though right

 

[Sabelion]

Isnt this turning out a little offtopic with anus posting random pictures of light that he made? no offence anus. They realy are cool....but is this the right post to post them at?

In the words of the taxi driver from Old School, "I recommend you stop being such a faggot."

 

[Sabelion]

In the words of me, "I recommend you stop being such a ugly fat nerd", no offence but fat people can get sick easier and dies faster, so it is for your own best.

 

[shamanyouranus]

Wow, this definitely isn't getting off topic.

-cough-

 

[Devine]

"I recommend you stop being such a ugly fat nerd"

says the dude with the user title "elephant man"
guesswhat? he wasn't talking to you.

and shaman, sum reel textur3s plox.

 

[shamanyouranus]

Ok, fine. I'll try to make a real texture...if you stop 1337 speaking

That was so ridiculously hypocritical, I just lold my ass off. Anyways filters are cool and all but freehand is cooler.

 

[shamanyouranus]

Sorry, I can't freehand.

 

[Elfsilver Lord]

Sorry, I can't freehand.

Then sorry, you can't really texture.

 

[shamanyouranus]

Of course i can, just not freehand

 

[ike_ike]

Shaman can post what he wants, this being his own thread. And there does appear to be some demand for filtered images nowadays D:

And Elfsilver_Lord... >>>Custom Brushes =/= freehand.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Then sorry, you can't really texture.

A lot of games use textures acquired by image and photo manipulation.

I use custom brushes for fine work, like symmetrical runes.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

This is getting off topic, this topic is called "Shaman's Icon and Texturing Emporium and Warehouse" and as such, i have yet to see a single texture OR icon OR emporium/warehouse. All i see here are pictures created with a million filters. This entire thread is off topic. It would be perfectly acceptable if this thread was called "shamanyouranus' thread for random pictures i make in my spare time with the computers at school". OR more specifically "The thread created by shamanyouranus to show off how good he is at using filters and making random effects that look like mossy rock, snow, dirt, and some sort of blue instillation future thing that glows real bright and makes my eyes burn"

BUT IT IS NOT, and as such i suggest a name change for the thread before a mod realizes this too.
.... looks good though. the name thing is just an annoying technicality

 

[Hawkwing]

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigght.

 

[shamanyouranus]

Fine, I'll make a freakin' icon. Shit!

 

[anarchianbedlam]

:O OH NO! Don't make an icon of shit!! anything but a shit icon, that would be horrible!... although i guess it would be useful in a Sims lookalike map where you can tell your little guy to take a dump

 

[shamanyouranus]

First icon on this thread!

Hello there, I am here to post the first WIP of my first icon on this thread. YAY!
Its a blade thing. I am going to make a weapon and armor upgrade sequence for the Satyrs. Enjoy!

Because of peoples comments and such, I am going to do this first icon using ABSOLUTELY NO FILTERS, OPACITIES, ETC. Just pure freehand.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

AHHH IT LOOKS HORRIBLE!!....

just kidding, but THAT is what im talking about, it looks pretty good for your first one, you'll be making good icons in no time.

 

[shamanyouranus]

Yeah, things look a lot better when you don't out line them in black.
Now to give this thing some texture

 

[Hawkwing]

Make sure to shade that your brush is on a really low opacity so you get a smooth transition from dark to light. I usually use somewhere between 40% to 60%, dependant on the strength of the colour on my brush.

 

[LiOneSS]

and don't use selections to lay down the base color ^.^ (makes the edges too sharp)

 

[shamanyouranus]

Sun Icon

Here's an icon of a sun that I made:

Sun

And here is the large version (yes, i know it sucks)

LARGE Sun

Comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

 

[Linaze]

The sun looks good to me, especially the icon version.

 

[Wintermute]

Looks like it has been brushed a million times
