  1. Cool a pokemon playing family that's got to be sweet. To be able to talk about pokemon and everyone understand!

    Anyways welcome to the site. If you need a cool avatar click on the link in my thread. My current avatar is the work of telos one of the artists there. And both my sigs are made by people that make avatars, bear831 and naru-chu...aren't they awesome? You should get one too!

    I say this to practically every new member

    lol! *cough*advertising*cough* just kidding lol.

    A Pokemon-Playing Family must be awesome. That would seriously be so fun.

  2. The Pokedex say that that species it "Proud". I guess it left out the "Insane" part.

    That would be cool and awesome, but there aren't ay deaths as far as I can tell in that series...

    The living database of knowledge...

    Reminds me of why I think they stopped airing Code Lyoko: I think they stopped airing it because they had less mature shows (such as this) they wanted to air.

    Code Lyoko was kinda cool, but the Aelita rebirth thing was confusing...and I loved the theme song xD

  3. hope im not interrupting anything but i admit im not artist, and on that note i ask anyone who doesnt mind to create me a avatar. only condition is that you use a gallade. go ahead and be creative, just has to include a gallade somewhere. thnx! :kikkoman:

    First of all, to every artist listening, I hate trying to fit many small images on a small 124x124 picture. It annoys me...

    Back to the Gallade avatar, I'll finish it up tomorrow probably, because the rendering takes too long, and its getting late. So if you can wait a bit?

  4. I'm impressed. That is indeed the best and the most advanced way of doing it, but its very time consuming as well, so be warned.

    There are other ways of selecting your render, including the Quick Mask tool, which works very well for complex backgrounds and renders with holes in the middle where the pen tool can't reach. For simpler backgrounds, you can use the magic wand tool. Remember to feather your selection, kids!

    If you have a bunch of holes (like a net or a hammock) then yes the Quick mask tool is the way to go. If you have like a ring...or something with only a few holes, you can still use the uberpwnsome pen tool. Here's how:

    1. Click on the Paths tab on your Layer palette

    2. Make a path around the outside of the image.

    3. Click create new path (Looks like a sticky note being peeled, its a small icon)

    4. Make a path surrounding the hole

    *Repeat 3 & 4 for multiple holes.

    5. Make a Selection from the first path created

    6. With the path still selected, make a Selection from the second path, but when doing this, click Subtract from Selection option.

    *Repeat 6 on any other hole path

    7. Done!

    But, I recommend using Quick Mask, because its not so time consuming.

    And thanks Illithian, I hate dragging points made (Make a point, and make another point while still holding the left-click button and drag) because it messes up the wanted direction of the path.

  5. That's one of the things my friend wanted to know. If their was a specific way you could find out where it was. Obviously there isn't.

    Yeah, you need to randomly encounter it first so it will register in your Pokedex.

    Then, find a house near grass, water, any thing you can encounter Pokemon in. Go in, then out of the house, then check the "Area" of Latias in the Pokedex. If she's not in the area, just repeat the process until she's in your area, then move around in the grass, water, etc. and search for Latias.

  6. Hey Naru-chu, I just have tried to use some smudge tools, although I wasn't fully able to get it blend in (a bit) more I am happy with the result of my 5th sig. Thanks for the advice.

    A question to the other photoshop users (I use CS4):

    I was wondering what tools are the most usefull to cut out a pkmn out of it's background.. This takes me a lot of time and there must be a simpeler way than using the normal eraser (I tried the lasso tools but that takes me longer, I mus't do this wrong??)

    G.

    Here's the technique I use:

    Go to the Pen Tool. Make sure the option on the top is clicked so that it makes a path, not a shape layer. Then, its like a lasso tool, but with an advanced curve feature. You can make curves with it in different ways. I like to do it like so:

    1. Make a starting point, or point.

    2. Make another point at the end of the curve you're trying to cut out

    3. Click in the middle of the line made to make a point

    4. Hold Ctrl and use your mouse to drag the point so that it matches the curve.

    5. Repeat until you reach the end of the path (Connect back to the starting point when finished)

    6. Right click and click Make Selection

    7. Voila!

  7. Could someone make me a breloom sig? Sort of like my drifloon sig but with breloom and some cool background. I'm not that picky because I love all of the work you guys have made so far.

    On it...this is my chance to redo my horrible Breloom sig for wraith. I got some new brushes in, and a few Breloom renders, so this should be fun!
