Boll Weevil Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Greeting Herophiles. I have just wasted an hour of precious work time perusing both the Superhero Images thread and the Storn's Images thread. Smashing good both of them. Many posters have requested ideas for their homegrown superhero tabloids and many many others have lamented the fact their artistic talents pale next to the Storns, Nato's, Deschesnes et al. I must count myself among those artistically challenged but I do enjoy a good Photoshop challenge.When my daughter was born I spent countless nights up late at night coloring Classic Enemies pics. With that in mind I thought it would be fun if we started a thread where anyone can request an image and the great Hero collective can help out. Need a picture of a strange villain-created storm for your campaign newspaper? Need a picture of a bank safe that has been blasted into by Photon to offer your players as a visual aid for your next game? Perhaps we can keep the posted pics on the cheap for the boards and send the requestor the higher res stuff on request. Got a sketch you want colored? I think this could be a lot of fun. Any takers?

Redmenace Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 I;m not sure just how "on demand" it could be. It seems people post when they can but it is a very interesting idea. Post a request and lets see where it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nexus Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 I have a friend that does good comic book style art and he does commissions in his spare time. They're only like 10 dollars a pop too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benzini Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Thanx! 2 Safes, melted open, very kewl....what about a Banks Vault door torn open? Or, a car, torn in half? Unless, of course, someone else has any ideas/challenges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaxiMan Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Dumb question, but seems likely to get a good response here, so... What software should I get for photo manipulation and straight out graphics (the old simple stuff of draw / fill / etc.)? "Real" Photoshop is way expensive, and there's some Photoshop {something} at Best Buy for about $100 - but I can't figure out from the package if it's any good. $100 is about my limit, so what say you? I'd like to know the EXACT name of the software - there are too many out there that are similar but not the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakboy6117 Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 piant shop pro isnt bad ist not as intuitive or as user friendly as i found photoshop but you can't beat the price if you must have legal software it has many of the features photoshop has and for genral use its fairly good and i love animation shop whgich comes with it. theres also a emasculated version of photoshop available ist not as feature packed as the full release but its a good option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon to have the 2.0 version released which seems like it's got some nice improvements. It's not up at Photoshop level, but it's pretty close once you've played with it for awhile.

Caped Crusader Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 I've mainly used Corel PhotoPaint (it comes as part of CorelDraw) and the earlier versions are available on eBay for less than $100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobGreenwade Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 For those of a more sci-fi bent, I could really use illos of any of the alien species described here (except for the Pelkons, of course, since I already have one for them).
