Out of curiosity, what program do you use for your rendered art? Not that I have any artistic talen, but I have Paint Shop Pro (Windows) and the Gimp (linux laptop) on my computers. Maybe I could find a filter or something that would have some pointers?

well, there's a "plastic wrap" filter, as it turns out . . .

and a "glowing edges tool."

I serve only Photoshop. Photoshop is my master, my adored one, my precioussss. Photoshop is our friend, yes.

That, and sometimes pen or paint and paper. With a little Photoshop.

And FoodTV. Which is currently showing an overtime battle of IronChef.

I am going to go worship my other glowing box for a while.

Good night!

Heh, I told myself time and again "Sejs, she said this weekend, so let the lady work and don't bug her." It became my little mantra every time I cruised over to ENWorld.

Wow - I'm in awe. Those look just amazing, Sialia. Thank you SO much for this!



Edit/Additional Gushing: I've saved all the Cubes now, gonna get 'em up on the little isp-provided webspace the wife and I've got in the morning. Also gonna print out all the portraits and show 'em to my gaming group. "Ah-HA! Check it out, guys - Cube's got ART!" I shall say, "Bask in the radiant glow of the outpouring awesomeness." Then I will make hand gestures that indicate the flow of awesome as it travels from the picture to them.


You rule, Sialia. Can't say it enough. Thank you again for your work.

Sejs, welcome to the wonderful world of "Avatar by Sialia". Now, go make all the other kids on your block jealous. :D

Ok, this is better, but we still need to simplify.

Lots.

....................

If you can rough sketch what you want on a piece of paper with a dark pen and then scan it and post it, I'll see what I can develop from it. The sketch should not be larger than a 3x5 card to begin with.

Hmm, silly me, I never thought of that. Although my art skills are shall we say....lacking, I'll see what I can do in the way of a rough sketch.

Love the cube, BTW. ;)

Alright, this a general approximation of that I'm going for. My sketch ended up looking like a dish of ravioli, so my minor MSPaint experience will have to suffice. :\

The sword is just like this, 'cepting that there would be no curve.

This is just a general idea for the image. Use your imagination and talent to derive something you think would be good for an avatar. I trust your judgement. ;)
