that nba image you gave us was a meer well done photo manip anyone who was good at photo manip here could do that
yea man i agree with a lot peeps. im not all that impressed myself, and as to go so far to say it makes peeps on here look like crap i HIGHLY disagree, just look at JWJ's sig DAMN thats nice. EDIT: And BTW whoever said to you that sig makin is the lowest level of gfx, i disagree on that too, a lot of people dont just download brushes, a lot of em make their own and that takes effort and skill. EDIT (AGAIN): If you really wanna see some True Hardworking Digital Art go here www.cgtalk.com. Also check out this video on this plugin tool HOLY SHIAT! http://www.pluginz.com/product/12271 I WANT THAT!
Have you not seen MaynardsTOOL's currents? They are way better than those. The MJ one is terrible quality. And for some reason they decided to make him have robot legs? Sure they are ok. But i prefer digital graphics better than photo manips.
define crap anyways some stuff on there is good yer. but i wouldnt go to far in stating them over members on GR
Some people there are definetely good, but i wouldnt go saying people on GR are crap against them[ Maybe some are ] But as said many times, we do 2 different things, so it cannot be compared. But i do think Sig making is one of the lowest forms of GFX, most of us just use other mans brushes slap it on some canvas, throw in some colours and a picture...That doesnt make it less beautiful, but it makes it easier to master.[And still i cant do it ] But if you wanna look at the real [Amateur] GFX masters...just check dA. Where all pro amateurs go.
i just had a look and all i have to say is DAMN that is NICE. im really diggin the face, that looks awesome.
No, making a render in C4D or Apohysis, and turning them in into brushes is easy. Messing around with default textures and filters isn't that hard either. <!--QuoteBegin-korcy@Aug 20 2005, 09:42 PM I dont find any of it impressive, it is just them messing with premade pictures.......anyone can do that..... [/quote] Anyone can find a premade image here, slap on a few brushes, colour it using a colour balance, or whatever else you use to make your sigs. That isn't the best example ever for a good graphics website, but I ---- you not, a lot of other similar sites make similar things and are far more complex than anything anyone here could ever make.
Thats what im thinking - Well i saw the phoenix picture and the MJ picture and they were the only 2 i found good - The rest were alright but kind of bizarre. CGNetworks/CGTalks and DA i think produce one of the best images around and you cannot compare those with bizarre things like those on that site. And you cannot compare saying we're crap. 2 different things 2 different views and cannot be compared 100%
