newish idea

[mannos]

any thoughts?

not sure if its an original idea, but i think its pretty different

Haha, that's really neat! I like it. Is there any tuts on how to make that? If not.. make one yourself!

[mannos]

its just a lot of little things tbh. like bevels, glowing and smoke

although, a new thing i found (by accident) is that if you work with 16bit colours instead of 8bit (default), the edges on the circle (for example) are a lot cleaner. if i had done this in 8bit, im pretty sure it would be jagged, because its against a transparent edge

Little things add up. Make a tutorial!!

Pwease?

[mannos]

ok, i'll make a quick 1, but only to get peeps going in the right direction

[Outsider]

Thanks.

It's a really neat design.. maybe a good idea for the GFXvoid banner if they want a new one..

Cool concept, but it doesn't look as good as it could. It's a little blurry (mostly around the text), I'm wondering how that happened if it's all vectored. Maybe a simple sharpen on the flattened file would do the trick (since it's just the text that's blurred you may want to mask everything else when you use the sharpen filter, or just use the sharpen tool manually), or maybe it'd get too grainy, who knows.

i cant see whats blurry about the text tbh, there are ment to be scorch marks arround it though
i'm mid way through fixing the hinges, and i might do the lazer thing a bit more detailed. if i can do soemthing with the text too, i'll do my best

thx

the only bad part is the arm of the robot. looks too simple compared to the rest

very cool idea, you have great sig ideas.. (the blood one)
the angles of the arm vs the plaque thing looks awkward, and the shadow on the arm only is weird, like the other things should have shadows right? also where the circle things on the arms seem a lil awkward
