Also, one more thing Chesty. I only ever showed you that technique to hand draw muzzle flashes with splatter brushes, but I have found that by smoke brushes instead it can come out looking a lot more realistic. I could show you if you had the time at some point.

Sounds great. You got a date, mate.

Also, nice tutorial, Chesty. I already knew most of this, but good work nonetheless!

I don't see no hand drawn ones.

[ChestyMcGee]

I don't see you reading the thread properly.

You mean after the character has been isolated it has a white line around it? You are isolating too wide then. To fix it, use the "magic wand" and click outside your character on his layer. Then go to "selection/grow" and pick one or two pixels, and then press delete. That should hopefully fix it this time around. In the future though, you'll need to isolate closer to the character.

fuck, it could be that i was CUTTING the selection instead of copying. rate be bad reading/dumb

Thanks Chesty! I'll give this technique a try as soon as I can, but my computer's having all kinds of problems

Well. Okay.

Thanks, this was really helpful! :D

Oh, you're updating this thread fast. :D

Dodging/Burning the blood by hand is kind of a waste of time imo. You can very easily just use Bevel and Emboss and achieve the same effect.

Yes, but I like to avoid telling people to use filters like bevel/emboss because people tend to overdo it. Also, this is primarily a GIMP tutorial and, in GIMP, bevel/emboss removes the colour from a layer, making it more trouble that it's worth (it would take the same amount of time to apply the filter correctly and change the colour and brightness as it would to just quickly dodge and burn the blood).

[Fire Kracker]

you don't need any dodge imo

Ah, I didn't know that GIMP removed the colors from it.

It will be covered guys, don't worry - read the end of the OP before posting requests please.

I wasn't requesting i was just saying that is the part of it i want to learn about.

[bodenlan2]

I can't wait for the snow tutorial

[The Vman]

Hm, I would have suggested simply using zoom blur for the blood but, w/e...

[the-dutch-guy]

Rim-lighting please :science:, great tutorial.

It's Christmas! I'm a busy beaver! This might not be updated until the 27th.

[Zeraxify]

You can just add the rain part, since you were anyways :P

[Sin938]

Chesty my good man, thank you very much, now I might actually use my Cs4.

[Lelouch113]

This really helped I still need practice but this got me started!

Bumping from page 4

This needs to be finished.

[ChestyMcGee]

Update later today.

[ChestyMcGee]

And when I said later today, I really meant tomorrow.

[blamjam]

I've been dying for this tutorial to go on.

[ChestyMcGee]

Gah you people think I live to serve you? There will be an update, I haven't given up on this but I'm a very busy person and this is a very busy time of the year. Although my post-count might deceive you, I do have a lot more going on than just this damn forum. Be patient my students, be patient.

[bodenlan2]

pls chestey releas new update so i can lern to ediit plsssssssssssssssssssssss

[ChestyMcGee]

Next update is half-way done but it won't be finished today. It's on texturing (anyone comment "waaaah but I wanted to jump on the rim-lighting bandwagon 3 months late!" then you will get a box).

[IrishThunder]

I'm having a bit of trouble with Gimp, man. You know that little box that let's you select what layer you're working on? I don't know how to pull it up. It makes editing a bit harder. OH HALP ME MEESHTAR MECGEEH

[ChestyMcGee]

Thread updated with texturing!

That... little box? You mean in the layers window? Just click the picture and drag. I'm not sure what's up there.

[Urbanator]

Loving this thread, keep up the good work! :D

[NateLB]

I wish I could even attempt editing.

[The Vman]

Ah excellent! A texturing tut! I've been itching to try texturing out. Great work Chesty!
