Serateds live GFX demonstrations [Skype]

[Rainbow Crash]

Yup! Me, Seung, and Serated will be gathering to figure out what the next plan of action is. I'm ok for any afternoon. (I really just like sitting in on watching everyone teach) I think Seung and Serated both want to do one soon. Gotta figure out who goes first and when ^-^ Or if both the same day.

[Serated]

Im okay with doing one every Friday.

I'll look for alternatives to Skype, because it wont let me share my screen with more than 1 person (unless I pay money). If anyone has any free alternatives I can get to this would be nice.

So, next week I'll do either a smudge tag or a texture tag. And I will try to get a new Microphone so I can talk and answer questions.

Well, it wont be as interactive, but why not just record yourself?

No recorder, and people cant ask a recording questions.

If no one comes up with anything I'll sponsor the upgrade myself. It's a bit pricey as it's about $56 dollars for the year. So alternatives would be super fantastic yo. (We've already tried teamviwer and join.me)

Hello everyone! To my understanding we're doing another one of these this afternoon. @Serated you will need to post up any info. I don't think I get off work until 5-ish today. So maybe work with @Seung-li so she can update the OP with new info. ^^

[Feferi]

Unfortunately I can't do a lesson today because I'll be out of town and would be using a laptop that does not have Photoshop in it. ;_; I'm not entirely sure how busy I'll be though.

Today at 7 on Skype. I'll either find an alternative to Skype, or just buy the thing. Either or.

UPDATE, there will be no Demonstration Today, June 1st. Instead, I will be hosting it next week on June 8th, Friday, at 7 PM Eastern Standard Time. When I have Skype all paid and done for. Also, I still dont have a Microphone, but I ordered one and it will be here by then.

To join in on the fun, please add Serated13 to your Skype contacts, and on Friday say you are there for the demonstration and you will be in. Hope to see you there!

The tag I will be demonstrating is below, the principles we will cover are using the smudge tool, and the defaults of Photoshop to make a tag. Will also talk a little bit about good file management.

[Rainbow Crash]

That's great.. Sorry I couldn't make it if we had one today. My household wanted to go out bowling (even though I was crabby, I went out as well... I was looking for SOMEONE to ask me to stay but they never gave me an answer in time -glare-....) Oh well...

Though FYI.. Next friday I'll be working 4-10.. Today was my last day working morning/day hours. From now on I do closing shifts.

[Princess Cupcake]

I might actually be able to make it Friday, depending on how my day plays out. All I gotta do is get registered for a Skype account. It would be nice if we could start having the lessons later at night though, if that's possible. Like, Blue, I work closing shifts. I know it's hard to make it fit everyone's schedule, but I am a willing student who is genuinely interested in GFX :3 I just got Photoshop too and I could really use some help!

[Rainbow Crash]

Alright guys, unfortunately a decision to end the demos has been made.

People said they were interested and were going to join in never would show. So that's about as far as we can stretch it until the breaking point. Thank you guys for your interest in learning something knew, but it really takes action in order for things like this to work, not just words. ^-^;

Sorry for any inconveniences. I think we can still do things on an "as requested" basis.

[Serated]

Okay, I need to put Skype to at least some use.


@blueangel06661 @MaruDashi @Ellipsis @Seung-li @Princess Cupcake

Because meeting on a certain day at a certain time was difficult, I will just be on Skype indefinitely to answer specific questions as well working in Adobe Illustrator. Mostly from periods of about 7 Am to 7 PM EST everyday for your convenience. Will work sporadically on MISC projects, and can engage in discussion until something better is worked out.

[GameGeeks]

Yeah, something like Serated is planning is probably the best that can be done. From experience, getting a gaming group together on a specific date is challenging enough and that's local. Throw in people from around the world and you have one hell of a feat.

[Feferi]

Just like Serated, I'm willing to do open lessons at anytime, just adding me on Skype you can ask questions and from there, we can do a live lesson in via Skype. ^^ When learning whatever signature we'd be working on, I'll also provide in the materials I use to make such signatures. Unfortunately I'll be busy this weekend so I can't do it, expect that happening next week. I just think it would be an option for anyone to choose who they want to learn from. So by all means, if you want Serated as your mentor you can ask him, if you want me that's fine as well. I don't have a particular schedule so anyone can ask me at anytime, just not this weekend. >_<

@blueangel06661 @Seung-li @GameGeeks @Ellipsis @MaruDashi

Will try out another demo, this time it will be on Saturday, rather than Friday. Same time, 7PM Eastern Standard unless that doesnt work for some people.

In order to join in on a the live demo, download Skype, and add Serated13 to your friends list. From there, let me know you are there to join in on the demo and you will be added into the viewing demo.

Below is the tag I will try recreating for you:




I can try doing another tag, if there's one people are interested in, but I'll just leave that one here.

[Rainbow Crash]

Saturday is fine for me =D I can't wait as it's been a while @Princess Cupcake do you work on saturday? You should join ^^

[Feferi]

I will be looking forward for it. I'm thrilled to get started with the lessons again as well. Hehehehe~

[GameGeeks]

Saturday is fine.

[Princess Cupcake]

Actually I do work on Saturday... usually I work in the mornings but of course I get stuck with the night shift when you guys decide to start having lessons again. That would be my luck -_-;

[Ωmega]

Saturdays fine with me

We can change the schedule of when this goes down to help fit your schedule if you like.

[Princess Cupcake]

Yes please. If it's not too much trouble, I'd like that very much. Sorry to be such a pain D:

What specific time is good for you?

[Princess Cupcake]

What specific time is good for you?

I'm almost always free Monday-Friday during the day (preferably before 3). If that doesn't work, weekends can be kinda crazy for me but, I'm sure we could work something out. I hate being the only one who has an issue with Saturday, I just would like to be apart of the lessons this time around, which could complicate things since I don't have a set schedule.
