i dont post work in progresses

Batboy, I just want to say that if you want to make a manip, try and put more effort into them. You have some potential but I don't really like seeing a bunch of quickies or work in progress stuff over and over and over again. Please, take your time and then post the final result. Even Angamb now is taking his time with his stuff and he has improved alot.

and as for MaleRogue, just about every 'manip' you do is basically a copy of something some one else has already done. I have tried to encourage you to make manips in the past but now i'm starting to regret it. You have just not improved at all and all your work is so below average. Either keep practicing and learning or just stop.

Seriously, I'm not trying to be mean here but I think it needs to be said and I'm sure I'm not the only one who agrees. I love seeing other people's manips and I like seeing more and more people getting involved but not when everyone just keeps doing the same Emma manips. I mean, this is one of the reasons why manips in this forum aren't taken seriously.

:applause:

:runs away before everything blows up:

 

[xmenfilesfan05]

ok,i fixed emmas head but,im having trouble with getting the skin tone the same as the body,can anyone help me?Like what mode do you put it on and at what opacity number?

 

[xmenfilesfan05]

i know,im not done yet lol
but no im just using gimp but im not done the manip yet so im doing the smudging after
ok off topic but can anyone find me a pic of a kid running?im trying to make a ben 10 manip lol

Here's you saying to someone that you weren't done with a manip that they had critiqued...one example.

 

[Matt.S99]

that was like my first head swap,i was just getting opinions to keep going or to stop

 

[Le Diable Blanc]

I think that's Neto's main point. Some people ADMIT their work isn't finished but they don't bother to fix it and move on. Instead of making 20 similar manips, focus on one and it might turn out great. That's how you learn and get better. I've said it before but good manips take time.

 

[xmenfilesfan05]

heres another,i really like this one,ill remove the cape and backround later

Another work in progress...

 

[Matt.S99]

i actually did remove the backround,made the edges smoother(which is what the person told me to do)and i tried to add a little shadow on the neck,but that didnt turn out too good,i think i used the burn tool

 

[xmenfilesfan05]

Exactly batboy...that's a work in progress...the fact that some people say they aren't done with what they post, or they say they don't like it, or they say they did it really quick, or they say it's not their best...what's the point?!? Painters don't put out artwork that isn't finished...they don't put out art and then sit next to it and say..."I don't actually like this one at all" or "This only took me twenty minutes" or "This is definately not my best " It's just pointless and when I've looked at the past twenty pages, the trend has been to dump as many manipulations of the same character with different bodies and heads within the same photoshoot...there are two people on here specifically that have become the "old-school Angamb" (No offence to Angamb) It just ain't right.

 

[Le Diable Blanc]

But that was still a work in progress
If you post it to get advice then it's fine but if you're just saying 'it's not finished but whatever' then it gets old really quickly.

lol BB tell me that's you in the picture and I shall worship you forever!

Bow down to me biatch

 

[La_She-Beast]

LMAO!

 

[Le Diable Blanc]

Psh now I know it ain't you. Someone with *that* hairdo wouldn't say biatch lol

 

[PhoenixRisen]

I think you guys have made your point about posting WIPs and repeated emma diamond manips, but honestly I would rather see 2 pages of that than 2 pages of people ganging up on ppl practicing their skills. I know the point you are trying to make and hopefully has been taken but it's getting a little silly IMO

 

[spideyboy_1111]

i agree PhoenixRisen...though the past 2 or 3 pages are nothing but honestly mediocre crap... where people are just randomly posting head swaps and horrible diamond effects... what happened to all the good manipers?

 

[_BB_]

Psh now I know it ain't you. Someone with *that* hairdo wouldn't say biatch lol

ahem, what exactly are you trying to say about my hairdo?

 

[PhoenixRisen]

just to change the topic here's an unfinished concept i did for the aoa competition...i used angie's tomb raider bod but thought it wasn't aoa enough and too tomb raidery!!

 

[Deep Thinkin'!]

Awesome!
