GUYS. DO NOT HOTLINK. I know one image doesn't seem like a lot but I save as PNGs and they are bigger files, PLUS this is a big forum and it's not just people who reply to your comments or read them that load it- everyone on that page does. And as you can see, for the first time EVER I maxed bandwidth. I know I've posted more than I sometimes do but come on guys. I've seen a few hotlinkers here and it's REALLY DAMN ANNOYING.

Post about requests is a little farther down~

Guys, unless it's marked, feel free to take it. But please, ONE upload to your own space and TWO please CREDIT me if you can. If it's not possible don't worry, you can still take, I'm not that desperate for attention, and actually on other forums don't bother but here I would really appreciate a small mention. (Ayries is fine, you can ignore the Kukku)

Icons are generally made for LJ, so most are 100x100

I won't list all brushes/textures as I, ah, have over 1,000 brushes and use them ALL. And over 180 textures, and over 230 images in my PW folder... but if you want to know any, finding a few is easy. It's just finding them for every icon and working out which icon it is, every time... ¬_¬ And I use the Gimp, but many of the brushes have been converted from Photoshop =)

Right, more wallpapers. And icons. If anyone really wants credit links I can probably dig them up. And I've started adding to the main post but I'm not going to go back and add old ones =) Use the icons with credit plz =D

I didn't get the chance to say so before, but your icons are real good. I love the simple effects - they got class. Couple of swirls, bit of grunge, a line or two and toying with blending options. I'm so happy you have an eye for these! The results speak for themselves. Shame there are no comments here, yet. Keep updating, please, because I'll be checking back on your progress. <3

Aww, thanks so much! That means a lot coming from someone like you~ XD Yeah, I like grunge. A bit too much, maybe. Hehe~

OK guys, I'm going to give it a shot with any requests you wany. I'll do icons, sigs and I'll take *suggestions* for wallpapers, but no guarantees. I prefer working with fanart (if you don't have any, I'm up to 130 or so in my folder, so I can always try and find something...)

So I want an image, brief description of what you want, etc.

What can I say, I'm bored. (And maybe just a tad desperate for comments XD)

Hey! Love the new Mia wallpaper you made :D I come bearing a bit of advice, but only if you're interested!

Blend blend blend! That's the easiest way to get harmony in the image. Your best friend will be - surprisingly :P - the Blending Options, assuming you're using PS. Double-click the far right bit of Mia's layer, or if that doesn't take you to them, right-click and select Blending Options. Screen, Multiply and Darken are a good start, but Colour/Linear Dodge you'll soon experiment with. Remember you can also duplicate layers, apply a blending option, then erase parts of that layer so you get the blending effect only on certain bits, or lower a layer's opacity. This way, you don't have to clean many pictures that have a white background, either, but it needs practice.

You've done a good job picking up the colours already used in the original image, brown and yellow. In images with few elements, 2-3 colours should be all you need, unless the colourful look is going to be part of its characters. Also, in most cases, less is more, but I don't need to tell you that. :) You're really good already.

Edit: Duno if you're already reading this, but I wanted to add something XD Always keep the practical aspect in mind. They're sort of like wimminz on a mountain trip - it's awesome to look great, but the outfit's gotta be practical XD

Post subject:  Re: Ayries' Wallpapers/Icons/Sigs(GS4 stuff) Requests open n

Wow, thanks for the amazing long comment <3 Critique is always amazing to get.

On blending, I don't use PS (I'm cheap. XD) but Gimp is very similar and I'm sure with a little exploration I can replicate that effect. I'm definately going to play around with this one more- especially smoothing that glow on it. I couldn't get it off completely from the original image's glow so blending will probably help there. =)

I'm especially glad the colours are OK, I wasn't sure if the yellow was too similar to the brown.

<3~~

Post subject:  Re: Ayries' Wallpapers/Icons/Sigs(GS4 stuff) Requests open n

Yellow works cool with brown. :D Every colour has a temperature, there's very cold blues and very warm yellows, for instance, and the shades you picked blend well.

Another thing I noticed though is the directional tendency (is that even a proper term?), vertical in your image. The arm stretching into the image from below / being held up, the text, and suddenly, "if this is love" is horizontal. You could let it stretch across the rest of the screen turned 90 degrees clockwise, but that's what I'd do, and I don't do many things right. XD

Does Gimp have any blending options at all? Some googling brought me to this --> http://registry.gimp.org/plugin?id=6988, but that's more 'effects on a layer' than 'blending'. http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Blending_Exposures/ is the closest thing I found. Dunno if it's of any help.

I think you need to send Croik an e-mail about submissions. :o It's right on the main page.

Also, WOW at the new signature. If Vicky didn't just make me one, I'd be tempted to use it.

In the posting guidlines it mentions a note can be made, but I might just send an email instead, actually it might be easier.

And thank you very much =3

Those icons look really good, the Dahlia ones are my favourite; as well as that Phoenix/Maya. By the way, I have a little suggestion: add a 1px or 2px border to the sig and the icons, they'll look better.
And if GIMP has gradient maps, you should use them. Here's an example of how they can change an icon:

Without gradient maps

Anyway, great work and sorry for the self-promotion xD.

PD: Some icons seem to have them... so I'm not sure if I have given you an useful advice...

Post subject:  Re: Ayries' Wallpapers/Icons/Sigs(GS4 stuff) Requests open now~!

Wow, that's some talent, Ayries! You've got a good knack for color combos and the dimensons/proportions of the people you draw.

By the way (WARNING: IMMINENT REQUEST APPROCHING), all of your art is hand drawn, right? Do you do more than PW related art?

Author:  Ayries Kukku [ Sat Dec 01, 2007 7:23 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Ayries' Wallpapers/Icons/Sigs(GS4 stuff) Requests open n

Thanks for all the advice you guys. I'm thrilled you guys have done all this- I always want to improve! And thanks for the compliments as well. I must say I' very happy with how the latest banner's come out.

And I have no idea about gradient maps, I've heard of them but never used them. I usually use colour adjustments crossed with hue/saturation, but maybe I should try them- that's a good effect.

As for my art- yes, it is. And with reference I can do anything. I'd also just like to say that I have some improved work I have to upload here tonight, because damn, that Apollo picture is so bad by this point... XD His head is like... all stretched...

Anything, huh? Well, you asked for it. :hobohodo:

I've loved the game Trauma Center: Second Opinion for as long as I knew of it. Yet, as far as I could tell, nobody, and I mean NOBODY, has ever drawn a picture of the S.O. version of Savato.

Here's my request: I really want a hand-drawn Savato avatar. I've been looking around the forum for a good artist, and you seem perfect for the task.
Spoiler: Check this out
http://youtube.com/watch?v=7yQnMyL3g5Q

I have up the video link and some copied pictures of Savato in motion to show it's basic body structure (You seemed to know a little about Trauma Center in one of your posts, so I hope you understand). All I want is a drawn Savato avatar, so I am not going to be picky about it or how long you take either.
You can have all the artistic freedom you want with it.

I hope I'm not asking for too much, but please and thanks in advance. :larry:
If you ever need a favor in return, I'd be glad to help.

Wow, surprised not many people have responded.
I love all of your work! This is amazing. The Mia one is my fav right next to the Maya and Franny school girl one, very, very awesome.

Thanks for sharing your brushes too, going to use them asap.

I do have a request, can I get a wallpaper with Franny? With a Blue/purple color scheme? That would rock, thanks in advance. :D

I have a question. You're usin Vickinators sig but you have a sig thread? Why dont you make a sig use it then you can use it as an advertisement? It just seems like you don't trust yourself.

Author:  Ayries Kukku [ Sat Dec 01, 2007 9:25 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Ayries' Wallpapers/Icons/Sigs(GS4 stuff) Requests open n

It's not that. It's just with my own sigs, when I look at them I look at them very, very critically. I can't really enjoy them in the same way.

Plus, sometimes I'm in the mood for one style, sometimes for another. Using another doesn't mean I think it's a better one, it means I'm in the mood for it. =)

Personally, at the risk of sounding stuck up, I really am happy with my latest one.
