RedSplat from 3DR (and duke4.net) has excellent knowledge in Photoshop... he gave me some useful tips...
But any additional help is appreciated

I want to optimally use it afterall

Y'know Micki!, that's actually not that bad. I know it's not the look you were going for, but you have succeeded in creating an original piece of art in a style all of it's own.

If you have some spare time you should try another coloring without the filters. Experiment a little. It's amazing what the power of Photoshop can create.

I think i will redo it later... Without filters... if possible, making it look more clean, and not as messy

Quote from: "Micki!"

I tried (out of boredom) to colorize above pic... I'm not familiar with Photoshop's features at all yet though, so the result looks strange :?

I tried removing any trace of pencil lines, by using one of the many filters available with photoshop... What happened, is that pretty much no actual pencil lines can be seen snymore, but detail got degraded... I do infact regret that i used filters, and it seems to be too late to remove

That said, i myself don't like it that much, and i prefer the original which i made...
Perhaps it's more likable to some of you though...

Hey, you did a hell of alot better than what I could do. Of course, seeing as I only have a shitty program called "PhotoStudio" and a crappy PC, that ain't really saying much.

Thanks for liking it THAT much

Y'know Micki!, it's just a great piece of art. It absolutely HAD to be on my wall. ^_^ I may even print out the colored version yet. When my cousin first saw it, she thought I started drawing again. I told her "no" and that it's from an artist I know in Denmark. She goes, "Wow! Really??"

The drawing to the left of it is from a gal I know in the US. It's supposed to be what she'd look like as an agent of ACROSS. She's got a thing for monocles (single eyeglass pieces), so she drew one on herself. lol!

The pic below them is a scan done by another friend in the US. It was colorized in Photoshop.

If I weren't so lazy (or just made the time), I'd draw something myself. It's been too long since I last went crazy with a pencil in my hand. (No, not killing people with it!) :lol:

If you have a sister who likes Manga, (and she probably likes Excel Saga too..?) Why not make her join here..?

Ifi was a agirl, i'd totally draw myself as an ACROSS agent aswell

Your US friend knows of this forum..?

But you can...
... you can kill with a pencil, and it's not even that hard, really...

But let's save that for an "ACROSS Liquidation" thread later

PS
Is that really just A4 sized..? Looks sort of bigger for some odd reason

If you haven't already I suggest you find out how to get in contact with Carl Horn and send him the picture yourself! I am sure that he would love the picture as much as us and maybe even put it into the Oubliette

Nah, my cousin is very computerless as well as clueless about Excel Saga. ^^;; She always manages to get me laughing anytime I show her any manga or anime related stuff. Doesn't matter what it is, she'll almost always say something like, "Omg...! Look at the size of that girl's boobs!" :lol:
Yeah...... she's not what you'd call 'desensitized' to this sort of stuff yet. Funny as hell really.

I don't think so. She's tied up with her new job now. I'd like to see her join here, but I know she can't. Too bad really because I know she'd enjoy being here. >_<

Yup. It's standard A4 paper.
I knew someone who used to have a larger commercial type printer which could make good quality mini posters. Unfortunately, it was old (circa: mid '90s) and parts became impossible to get for it. Now, alas, it's in computer printer heaven sharing stories with all the other printers that had met untimely deaths due to ever-progressing technology of the masses.

And that is really awesome of Carl! ^^

we're gonna see more of micki's work in the obliette wahay XD

MincyMatsu · « **Reply #133 on:** June 27, 2007, 12:53:48 PM »

Nothing that you all haven't seen before though

But i'm sooooo happy i got the chance to share it with EVERY Excel Saga manga fan now :mrgreen:

Lord Il · « **Reply #134 on:** June 28, 2007, 02:45:40 PM »

Difficult to say, but after your art is published in the Oubliette section of the manga, more artists may join here in hopes of showcasing their work on the site.
