Poryhack Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Welcome to my little exhibition. Although you probably wouldn't guess it by looking at my very bare avatar and signature, I used to be in the habit of making pretty good signatures, renders, ect. I discovered the joys of Photoshop in June of 2007, not long after I joined my first forum. I managed my own pokemon-art club for nearly a year before deciding to move into the more mature art community on DevART. Around this time, June 2008, my priorities underwent a sudden shift when I discovered the then-new forums on pokesav.org. Rather than developing my creative skills to the level when I could produce original works as I had planned, I got more and more active with event-collecting and just the general workings of pokesav.org. You can guess the rest. So here I am today, showing you works that are almost all from days long past. Whether I will ever find the time to improve my skills I don't know. Ironically, my first (rather shitty) banner was for (yet another rather shitty) "hacking" club that I started before my art club. I was a noob, and it failed epically. Moving on. These two banners, which I made almost back to back, were my entry into the world of signatures. I think they're pretty good for a beginner. These were requests I did for a competitive battling team, Team Eclipse, over the course of my art phase. I was experimenting with some drip effects, and when I came up with the hex "blood", I just had to do this. This is one of my few non-pokemon works, and also one I did without the aid of material from outside sources. Around the time SSBB was released, I went on a rendering binge. There's not many images from the official site I didn't render. You can see the rest here. (Yes I'm aware this has a black background, it was necessary to show off the transparency.) This was just a random request, but I really liked the way it turned out. Ode to oldskool. A request by our very own fenzo. This was done a few months after the above. I'm still proud of the flame effect. I gotz pumkin carving skillz 2! This was done for Halloween 08. At the request of my dad, I did a little mirroring and made this nice wallpaper. Every now and then I will do a TCG render, I actually find it quite relaxing. This is something I did pretty recently. I was experimenting with vector styles so I redid some TCG art to make the above. High-res sugimori artwork must be rendered! That's all for now, I will post any new stuff. Thanks for reading and feel free to comment on anything.
Greencat Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Everything is amazing Pory. I love the Team Eclipse Cresselia one, Pokemon Classics, Stelix and the Renders. BTW, can you teach me sometime on IRC on how to cut out images and make renders as good as these please?

Poryhack Posted April 26, 2009 Author Posted April 26, 2009 Everything is amazing Pory. BTW, can you teach me sometime on IRC on how to cut out images and make renders as good as these please? The tutorials here helped me out a lot. IIRC you are using GIMP; there are GIMP-specific ones there too. (I prefer PS though.) Thanks for the complements everyone.
Greencat Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Oh, thanks for the link Pory. /me reads through.
Narwhal Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Wow, all of those pictures are amazing! Great job, I like the fire effects.
FLOOTENKERP Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Amazing... I have to learn this. Google, here I come.
satoshiX Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Photoshop isn't that hard to get used to. I guess it's kind of daunting when you see all of the options, but you'll never use all of them.
