[QUOTE="Malessa, post: 393517, member: 4869"] Thanks Siridar, I saved that site to favs. I usually check out google.com for real life picture references too. I'm not sure if coloring my dragons will help them, lol...It will be something I'll probably work on next week, since I'm getting ready for working over the weekend. I've been experimenting with some of the gadgets on PSP, to be able to color my sketches, not only faster, but with the same, or even better quality. I still have a few quirks to iron out, but I'm having alot of fun. I've discovered a way to make the chainmail, which WAS an "oh no, chainmail armor". Now that I discovered a few tricks, it is NOW an "all right, chainmail". Matter of fact, it's so easy, I kinda would like to do a whole bunch of characters wearing it, lol. I'll share my discovery, just in case y'all curious. If you look at the half-orc, barbarian's chainmail, it has become quite simple to do. I don't know how similar the other programs are to PSP, but I'm sure some of the functions will act the same. 1) I always select out each part of picture to layers, so have the chainmail piece by itself on own layer. 2) Then I used the retouch tool, on "color to target", using a dark gray color. 3) Then I went to the images catagory and select 'effects', and then chose 'other', and used the "hot wax coating". 4) Then again under images catagory, under effects, I used the "tile", then played with the adjustments, and VOILA! Instant chainmail! Upon seeing some of the adjustments on the tile effects tool, I noticed it could also be used for scales, like for a dragon! Definately something I will keep in mind for later use.;) [/QUOTE]
