>>8765
Have you considered getting a small gas cylinder (often called a 'pony bottle' by divers) filled with nitrox (air with an increased proportion of oxygen)? They're pretty teeny, and you can assemble it out of commercially available diving kit so it'll be a lot cheaper than a dedicated medical device. At only 1ATM output a teeny 1.5l bottle would last a good 3/4 hour of breathing gas taken neat. Your local diving club could probably help you finding the relevant bits and putting it all together & gassing it up.

>>8771
>Where the fuck do I sign?
Before the numeral.
Punning aside, there's the concept of 'frequency space', where moving along an axis doesn't mean moving in time, but moving with increased frequency. This can make some math to do with signal manipulation easier (assuming you head does not explode), but has some nasty artefacts, such as a discrete events in the time domain becoming an infinite sequence in the frequency domain. Add to this phase, and that a signal may be continuously changing in frequency, and you're already up to 4 dimensions. And that's not even considering spatial dimensions.
It's the sort of idea that switches between 'elegant' and 'totally nonsensical' with blinding speed, and at generally inopportune moments.

How do gif's work?

I'd like to take up to 50 images, and make them into a gif, like show progression of an artpiece for example...

Anyone knows what program to use for that kind of heavy load?

Uh, if I did a process image, I used gimp. However, that is for like, 10 images. 50 would be a pain in the arse to compile.

>>9244
Flash, or maybe even Photoshop using the weird animation features.

>>9244
Use GIF making software, like Easy GIF Animator or GIF movie gear.
You'll have to pirate it though.

they compile it fast enough, but 50 images gonna result inna huge file

photoparp works for simple junk like showing progress through work.

>>9309
Those textures/shading techniques, mostly. It annoys me that he tends to only use the same ones, but they look really cool. Care telling me more?

>>9310

Well, It's all done in one layer.

Corel does not have any external brushes, or stuff that you can find all around DA for photoshop. Textures are all done MANUALLY.

He likes to work in one layer, using oil brushes set to "Soft oil Pastel" ALWAYS blending.

Pencil 2b for sharp details such as scratches, shines and rusty details, medium opacity.

Gosh, it would be much easier to sit behind you and show you.


If there is anything else specific you are looking for ,I'll need more details so I can try and explain to the best of my ability.

>>9370
don't draw the damn outlines unless you need it. A series of strokes of different shades can give a far more efficient, good-looking and easily achieved effect, than a full polygonal construction of each blade. Of course it has to be precise, but once you've got the right angle, it's done within seconds.

>>9371

I was referring mostly to the rivets, and indentations, more or less to keep them accurately sized. But thanks for the tip, I'll try that on others!

There is no Christmas in Moscow. -_-

pretty neat, Emps. Two things: the hair is very (unnaturally) bright. Maybe you wanted it to be like that, so that is fine if so. Secondly, the blades look wrong, both of them. The front one seems too 'square on' to the point that I wouldn't know it was a blade if it weren't for the other one. The other looks a little strange as well. Too thick, I think.

About the hair, I haven't added in any environmental effects such as rain and proper shades, so it is going to look un-natural untill I start making it look wet and dirty.

And yeah, the Blades, well I've really got no clue how to represent those better than that, I fear if I make them any thinner, they might seem very frail.

So... what did you guys get for Christmas?

>>9575

I dunno, some stuff. Got some art books, confectionery, money, new tie, some music I already had. Usual stuff. Kind dude from around these parts bought me Space Marine, which is highly awesome of him. Bought myself a new choppa too, which was like a gift to myself.

Most importantly, I got to see the warm, toothless smile of a shaking 'homless man' who wanted money for 'accomodation,' as I gave him all the spare change in my wallet (4 AUD). I hope he finally got that fatal overdose.

I wasn't mugged, I hope it doesn't read like that.

How about you?

Spending Christmas and New years in Moscow with some friends. Family is absent to me, I also got Space Marine gifted by Scriptarius himself, we should give it a go sometimes.

Alright, here's the clusterfuck bomb.

Any ideas on a colorscheme that would work for this guy , considering his chem tubes and all sorts of slaaneshy stuff, WITHOUT making him look like a christmas tree?

>>9590

Pink.

>>9593

Oh wow, Overlord-kun~

I never would have thought.

Seriously though....

>>9594

Well, that was actually a joke, but okay. I really cannot think of a decent, Slaaneshi colour scheme that is both contemporaneous with the modern appearance of these types of Chaos Space Marines (which is to say not 1980's glam metal musicians in power armour, but rather this kind of cyberpunk, latex-clad, syringe-laden thing that it is these days), and pleasing to the eye. It seems like this purple/pink + black thing is 'nice enough,' but it's also a bit generic. Really, Slaanesh isn't my thing, so I am no good here, heh.

Also, that Daemonette on the pauldron looks super-content. It's amazing.

Try green. Not sickly vomit Nurgle green, but bright rave party/nuclear reactor/Ominous Green Stuff In Lab Tubes/chemical vat green.

Why not render the flat surfaces of the armour in grayscale, and then introduce colour to those areas on another layer, so it produces an iridescent effect similar to Goethite?
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cf/Goethite-171990.jpg

I don't really know much about art techniques, but there has been depictions of Slaaneshi daemon-worlds having iridescent surroundings and such. It's not like shifting colours are solely used by Tzeentch's pawns.
