Eris' junk

http://eris.name/AngerSig.png

I put a lot of work into this one. It's largely a tip of the hat to this book cover, but with some customization to make more sense as my signature.

I love how it turned out. It's got this grimy film noir air over it, and it's delightfully suggestive.

Well, it's all wacom work in the gimp. Though I can do some pretty dope stuff in mspaint as well.

Wacom? you mean a tablet, right? i've never used one of those.

Are they easy to draw with?

I dig it. Plus, "The Ipcress File" is an excellent movie (I am a bad person and have not read the book).

It takes some getting used to, but once you do, it's pretty easy.

Here's an avatar I doodled up with only the 1x1 pixel pencil tool (making it true to Ms Paint)

The movie is awesome. It's my favorite movie ever. It's got so many awesome details in it.

I made an avatar. I call it "The Flaming Fist of Internet Justice."

Freehanded it in the GIMP.

It's pretty easy, but you absolutely need a tablet do do it. If there's interest, I can slap together a tutorial outlining the technique.

You did that free hand? o-O It looks too good for that.
You, sir, are gifted. And the title is amusing. :laugh:

I painted it at 800x800 resolution, and then down-scaled it to 100x100, making it crisper and hiding flaws. The technique is also very corrective, so any error you make is very easy to repair on the fly without re-painting large chunks of the image.

That's very impressive and well-done.

Very nicely done, I like the colors. Do you still have the larger version so I can see how it looked originally?

Nope, sorry. But the technique is virtually identical to the stuff I painted for this thread, post 20 and later.

Sorry, I forgot about the old thread. I refer to my physicist's license to be absent minded.

Nice, nice. What did you use to edit it? PSP? Photoshop? GIMP?

One last thing: do you have a tablet (Wacom, ect.) or did you freehand with the mouse?

Wacom. And I'm using a somewhat elaborate technique where I basically mimic how oil painting works by alternating between the smudge and color tool.

Re-did my molotov/lighter av. It's still up for grabs if anyone wants to use it.

Mave a sig to go with my avatar
