View Full Version : A long time of inactivity...

I have been inactive for a long time... 2 or 3 years i think it is now.
Like some of you might understand, it is because of my visual impair.
Just some minutes ago i was doodling around with my new tablet and decided to draw a worm... I don't play the game anymore... as you might understand. But i can still draw them... I have still 60% of my eyesight but i have trouble reading and seeing small details... Please keep it in mind.
Don't mind the color because i have trouble distinguishing light colours from each other.
So here's the worm... Lol.

Very nice.
What did you use to make it?
Also I just looked at your signature...
'I gots me sum salted peanuts from SFrea.'
Haha I'd completely forgotten about that
Edit: Oh and nice to have you back!

Alternatively, he ate some cat food that did not agree with him.
Pretty good worm there. It reminds me of somebodies style, but I cannot place who. Anyways, good to have you back, even though I never knew you. :p

It reminds me of Agent_Luke's, but just because the worm is green.
Anyway, welcome back!

Another thing i've noticed is the JPEG compression. Save it in PNG next time.;)
Or can you not do that on a graphics tablet?
You can, it depends on the program you're using the tablet in, of course.
This program, to me, looks like flash.

Thanks for welcoming me back. :D
And thanks for finding my worm nice :)
And yes i'm using FLash! CS3 to be precise.
Uhm... Why is PNG better? I don't really understand why it's better.
The tablet makes it easier and quicker to draw something IMO...
Probably just as good i think. And, i haven't got a professional one. I've got a Wacom though, which is the best brand to have a tablet from i think.
But anyways, i've had another style too. I'll draw something and you can say which is better...
EDIT: My avatar was drawn in the style i had before.
Oh and eh... which is a good hex code for a color to fill the worm with?

PNG is better, because it doesn't add compression.
JPEG is really, just for photos. If you save a paint or flash or photoshop image in that format, your going to get smudges on your picture.;)

Thank you for explaining. I'm drawing my sigworm ATM i'll post it in some time.

Er...... no.
PNG is compressed, but it's lossless. There is absolutely no difference in quality from your original. Less complicated pictures with less colour variation compress really really small.
JPG is also compressed, but you lose quality, and it gets pretty awful if you try to compress it a lot.
Shadowmon is right that only use JPG for photos though, well, as far as your art is concerned anyway.

My sigworm... I kinda made a mistake and drew the snorkle on the wrong side... I erased it and put it on the correct side. I hope you don't see anything of that.
Here's my sigworm:
http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll229/Dusky1991/Sigworm_Florm.png
If you don't know him, check the character profile thread, 14th page 2nd to last post iirc. If not, it's somewhere on that page i think
Florm was just a name of the first worm in a team i made the other day...

It looks a lot better now that you saved it as PNG.;)
And you have the colour right this time too.

11 May 2008, 14:35
yeah, that color was great.
also, that worm was quite great. you really are quite good.....you take requests? :)

11 May 2008, 15:52
I request if you do :)
Shadowmoon
11 May 2008, 16:16
So do i. And because you won't know my sigworm because i joined late 2007, its in my signature.
I am also requesting. You probably can't remember what my sigworm looks like:
Black cape, metal shape-changing right hand.

11 May 2008, 18:37
Thanks for finding my sigworm nice... :-D
I remembered that FFCC00 was a good worm color.
Take it easy man... :)
I will do requests, but i'm doing a lot of other stuff too.. like composing music and making 3D art and stuff...
I'll do requests. as long as it isn't gonna be alot.
3-5 requests are ok.

well just in case you need it, the link for mine is here:
http://forum.team17.co.uk/showpost.php?p=298185&postcount=4
also, FFCC00 is a gold sort of color. it would look odd on a worm as well. just keep what you had that last time.
edit: it seems you FFCC00 is just a more saturated color of what you used. not sure if you did it intentionally or not but it worked. FFCC00 by itsself would look more like a gold worm statue :p

The colour I use for my worms' flesh is FFC080.

I had a good idea for your sigworm... (exploding things... Lol)
And i probably used FFCC33... Maybe FFCC66 i don't remember loli can look it up because i saved my sigworm as an FLA... fortunately!

why are random parts of that image transparent?

it is because of my visual impair...

See above.
And with regards to the picture. I really like the sketchy simplistic style. Thanks for drawing me first. ;)

12 May 2008, 14:19
Maybe in your next request you could just do a worm.;)
The just worm pictures with no backgrounds seemed to not have any transparency issues.

The just worm pictures with no backgrounds seemed to not have any transparency issues.yes, but the backgrounds didn't cause that, i'ts juts he clicked a bad button somewhere or something like that. or perhaps was in a rush to finish. the background doesn't cause transparency.

Something about that tail makes it weird, almost like a woman worm with boobs.
Good worm anyway when will i be done?:mad:

Thanks for telling me. I'll fix it. and i'm not sure if i should add something...
Shadowmoon
12 May 2008, 17:47
There's just a number of things i don't like about it...
1. The worms body looks kinda weird, almost like a womans body.
2. The grey circles at the end of the bandana look like bobbles, and so it makes it look like pony tails, a bit.
It is good though, just a few things wrong, imo.
Are you saying a womans body looks wierd?!
You must be out of your mind!

Also, I really like that you're using criticism to fix your drawings.
It's respectable.
