Migrated topic.
Thanks autodidactus. I've managed to put the fonts in the windows folder but corel somehow isn't recognising it. Corel's a great program but I can't believe how much issues I've with it. I'm writing a whole list of bugs and issues that have been driving me insane.
 
Okay now it recognises it haha..

By the way, traveller, what formats will you take for this? I was maybe thinking of animating a bit?
 
no problemo, i'm guessing you had to restart corel for it to recognize it ;). you drawing stuff out with a tablet?

totally redid mine, let me know what you guys think :). if anyone wants to suggest some more molecules to add that would be cool, just make sure they're available as a rotatable molecule on erowid. in there already is dmt, mescaline, psilocybin, harmala and lsa. trying to stick to naturally occurring chemicals

Yeah got a wacom tablet for a gift. Would have never thought of getting one otherwise, love using it. Just really frustrating that corel painter is at number 12 and theres endless bugs in it..

I've not really much clue on how to use photoshop, I just use it for clearing pictures up a bit. Might have more of a look into it if corel continues to frustrate me:)
 
nice, i've wanted a wacom for a long time but could never really justify spending the money on one. you could use photoshop for digital painting similarly to corel. you should check out the site cgtalk.com. tons of amazing artists there and 99% of them (2d artists anyways) do all their stuff in ps and/or corel.
 
Okay here is my banner, would have posted a couple of days ago but the program I'm using caused me too much issues.

Most of the image is taken from a previous image I made which I edited a bit, the two things on the right side of the image is supposed to represent some entities, the eye on the left is from a picture of my girlfriend which I cropped and draw some effects on to it. The font is ofcoarse not mine but I edited it slightly. I may add some more things to it later.


Really hope you like it!


:)

Can't really resize though! :cry:

Oh well
 
I have a wacom tablet (small bamboo) and a wacom cintiq 15". man.. I bought the cintiq off of craigs list for get this....... $50 canadian!!!! the thing is awesome!! nothing like drawing right on the screen! I setup my desktop and digging back in ti the world of digital art. took a break from it because tbe market was pissing me off. flooded with everyone and their dog doing graphic and web design.
 
Not even sure which one I've got.. it's just a really small one. I wonder how they differ when spending more..
 
nice space i like it. i just have one small critique, i feel like the large entity on the right draws the eye too much because it's sharper (not as smooth) as the rest of the image. so i was thinking maybe blur it a tiny bit and move it down a tad. up to you though

i want to see that full image that you used and that you have as your avatar. i'm guessing it's pretty cool.

i keep messing with mine but i think i'm just gonna stay with the one i uploaded. i added a space image as a blending layer but i think that might go against the rules anyways.

and yea now that i've seen universecannon's i'm just not gonna mess with it anymore. we all know what the banner's gonna be now haha.
 
autodidactus, i like yours a lot as well but i also agree that uc's must be the final banner with the elf-trav to guide us.

normal-height-trav, can you make it so the banners change a bit slower like just every 3 or 4 pages? it goes a bit too fast sometimes when i'm clicking through to get to a certain page that the flashing of so many different images is a little weird.

Thanks, appreciated. Yeah that thing really pops out of the image with vibrance above all else in the image.. Maybe I will change that at some point. If I give it some more blur it will give it depth of field making it look more in the distance rather than sat right on the image itself.

You can check the full image out in the art section. It's titled something like Art 'inspired from the deep'. Although the actual image size is huge, so you can't really see the detail.

I think it shouldn't be a problem for you to add the space image. And I'm not sure if it's right but I was in the belief that if you edit a photo some degree it's not a copyright issue.

It is VERY important that no copyrighted material will be used. Using a copyrighted image to begin with is still copyright infringement so please refrain from using that.

Ah so your right. that's interested because on youtube say, people aren't allowed to upload videos they don't own, so they get taken down, so people legally get round that by changing the sound in someway to avoid it. That's what I thought you could do with images, just changing them enough to defy them as a different image. Changing even one pixel technically makes it a different image.. Anyhow, better to avoid any issues with just not using copyrighted.

I guess that changing the sound and the video a bit will result in bypassing Youtube's automatic copyright material detection system.

So I think it's only a bypass of an automatic system and not a bypass of the law.
