Guess I'll post some Art, too.

[The Welsh Paddy]

Eh, I was thinking that maybe it's about time I started posting some of my art, too. For now, it's just gonna be my most recent graphical work. I'll post some more when I can be arsed digging out some older peices of work, or if I make any newer stuff.

The person in this image is Shuu, Bassist for this Japanese Metal group called Girugamesh. The graphic doesn't look all that great, but I've just been playing about with textures and stuff to see how it would turn out. This one ended up turning out all dark. I myself kinda like it, though putting his name on it really made it look bad.

These ones are a two out of four set I'm making for my friend Caleb's band, Glen UK. I haven't made ones for the other two members yet, but I'll get them done real soon. I'm also gonna Photoshop some group photos of them, so they'll be posted up real soon, too. Again, I've just been playing about with different textures, and using black and white images and making them look more colourful. Lee is the bassist, and Caleb is back up guitarist and vocalist. They're an awesome band. Check their MySpace: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...iendid=2461387

This one here is my most recent graphical peice using Photoshop. I actually made this today in college, and I'm really pleased how this one turned out. I didn't use any filters at all for this. Just an image of bass guitarist Zero, from another Japanese Metal band called D'espairs Ray. I laid down a couple of different textures and blended them in for the background, and then pasted Zero on top of that, and then laid down a couple more different textures over him and played about with the blending options again. Then I just added some text and a border to finish it off.

More to come soon!!!

Nice photoshop work there. I like the scratchy colour images like the last one the best. It has good texture and colour balance and mixture.

Keep it up.

Whoa alotta funky work there keep it up!
The effects uve used are gr8! hope to see more

[The Welsh Paddy]

Thanks, guys. They were just some simple peices of work I've done, hardly making use of any of the filters on photoshop. I have some more stuff saved on my computer at college, so I'll have to post them on here sometime. Most probably Teusday or Wednesday.

[Yukimura Sanada]

all i've got to say, is that you've done very well with these pictures, and that i like them very much, keep up the good work man.

[The Welsh Paddy]

Well, I done another two, for the remaining members of my friend's band. Made them both today.

Obviously you are a good friend of Photoshop. You know to use the effects wisely and I happy with that.

At my opnion( as Grphic design student) you need to work more on your text. I mean what font you are using, the colors, where it sits on the page, size and etc.

I would be happy to see more of your works.

[The Welsh Paddy]

Yeah, most of these have been done on my computer at college, and I'm unable to download fonts on that, so I have to try my best to make do with what they got. Having printed out some of these on photo quality paper, they look really nice, though.

I'll have more posted soon. Some Photography work, graphics, drawings, of fan art and original characters, and even some clothing designs.

[The Welsh Paddy]

Okay! I promised some more work, so... here it is.

Drawings

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g8...drenofGaia.gif

A bunch of werebeasts I drew back in 2003.

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g8...dy/Gryphon.gif

A Gryphon I drew about a month or so before the Children of Gaia pic.

A drawing I done of an ornament I got for my mum once. She's a sucker for dragons, and so am I, so I drew this. xD Only took me like, twenty minutes to do.

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g8...dy/Unicorn.gif

This is a pretty damn crappy picture I done of a unicorn, back in my fourth year of highschool.

I have more drawings around somewhere, I'll post them up when I find them.

Graphics

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g8...dy/Obscure.jpg

Using photoshop for the first time. I just montaged a punch of screen caps from Dir en Grey's PV, Obscure and added a little text. Before this, I used Paintshop Pro, so it didn't really take me long to get the hang of Photoshop. I'm not actually too keen on this peice of work anymore. Ah well.

Thought I'd have a go at making a sig, using an animation in it. Done a crappy job of it, though. Too many damn jagged lines, and I think it just looks so damn tacky.

http://s54.photobucket.com/albums/g8...ssicaSiggy.gif

Another go playing with animations. I like this one more, even though it looks a lot more simple. (Trust me, it wasn't!)

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g8...yo-Obscure.gif

Hoh noes! Not another animation!!1one!~

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g8...Kaorusiggy.gif

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g8...hizumisig2.gif

Started getting a bit more proffesional now. Both of these were really simple, and didn't take me all that long to make. The Kaoru siggy took me barely five minutes. The Shizumi one took a while longer, seeing as I made the background myself. Still really simple, though.

Comment plz! And sorry for the double post. Thread woulda gone on unnoticed, otherwise. :\

I can see you are quite good! I feel lucky to get your comments, lol. Of the favorite posted in your first post I woudl have to say I liked the very last one. As a dragon lover I loved all of them. Thus including the unicorn drawling. I must say that is impressive. I know I am a noob at this an all, but I have no ides how you got you graphic in there to move, but it was quite good.

[The Welsh Paddy]

Haha, thanks. The animations in those sigs were pretty easy to do. You just need a program called animation shop. I would explain how to do it, but it's really difficult to explain.
