The new Bamboo Fun is (aptly) really fun to use. To get a feel for it, I made this:
I'll say it first: this is not a drawing, it's a trace. I started with a cool CC-licensed screenshot and imported it as a base layer in Photoshop, reducing the opacity to about 10% so I could faintly see it. Then I blocked in the shapes of the Pyro in a new layer above the screenshot with solid, flat colours.
I then removed the screenshot layer from the Photoshop image and, continuing to use the original image side-by-side as a reference, used lighten and darken brushes of various sizes to do all the shading, tidying up the colour outlines where I needed to.
It's not perfect -- the colours aren't right because I picked them by guesswork, and it's low-contrast compared to the source. And it's pretty sloppy if you look closely. But for a 90-minute sketch, I think I'm pretty satisfied.
I'd like to do one of these for all 9 TF2 classes, which means finding great screenshots of each one to work from. So if you've taken, or know of, an excellent in-game screenshot showing the perfect pose of a TF2 character (red or blue, doesn't matter), fling it over to me please!Technorati Tags: games, graphics, graphics tablet, tf2
this article has so many spam posts, i wish they could get this sorted out, nice weblog though made a good read.
Ahmadinejad stated some proof that could help alternative theories had been "covered up" -- passports located from the rubble and a video of an unknown individual who had been "involved in oil deals with some American officials."
Brilliant! Furthermore, i heard that Texas Rangers outfielder Nelson Cruz who moved on the handicapped list 3 times this season because of hamstring conditions, left Match 5 of the ALCS because of a tight left hamstring. But he is stating that he will be within the lineup Friday evening when the Rangers try to finish off the New york Yankees and make their first trip to the World Series.

Hello there, I discovered your site by way of Google whilst searching for a similar matter, your web site came up, it appears great. I have bookmarked it in my google bookmarks.
Fantastic blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers? I'm hoping to start my own blog soon but I'm a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I'm completely overwhelmed .. Any recommendations? Bless you!
My coder is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on several websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform. I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
After reading Johns post, and witnessing the last 3 games and losing to a sorry ass bunch of sad sacks like the Padres, the win loss may show on track for a 90 win season, but that is some sorry-ass pathetic team out there, and you have to change the guys running things.
BBM, Good article but the match was a typical north east derby, highly charged atmosphere, huff and puff on the field and the almost inevitable draw.Having watched sunlin yesterday trying to be the new Stoke on a ploughed field of a pitch i would say that any future game with them will be the same.Your point about Cleveland Police tactics is a much repeated story from our travelling fans, my son is a regular travelling fan and says they are the most provocative and heavy handed of all the Police Forces, i wonder if its just our fans that get the treatment.
People still dont get all the damning things that FDR did to this country, that we are still paying for today. The old school democrats consider him a hero that saved this country, when he was one of the biggest liars ever to sit in that office, and like I said, we are still paying for the crap he pulled. If someone wants to educate themselves to this, its all there if they look in the right places.
