This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing widgets.
You can drag and drop to rearrange.
You can edit widgets to customize them.
The left side has widgets you can add!
Some widgets you can only access when you get a premium membership.
Some widgets have options that are only available when you get a premium membership.
We've split the page into zones!
Certain widgets can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.
Don't forget, restraints can bring out the creativity in you!
Now go forth and astound us all with your devious profiles!
I've thought about doing one a few times, but no one has ever asked me to do one and there's a million other tutorials out there (though most of them aren't very good!). Another problem is that my process changes from time to time.
I'm using a new method right now that seems to be working very well. I draw the picture (or parts of the picture) in pencil and then scan it into Photo-paint and then I blur the image a bit to soften the pencil marks. After that I go over the whole picture using black, white, and gray only. Then I put the image on a new layer and set the layer to "Multiply" and put colors on layers under that in solid blocks. I use several layers. After that, I shade and highlight the colored blocks with a hard edge brush set at 98 transparency, usually. I used to just do the whole picture in the computer in color, but I'm finding that drawing it first in pencil and then going over it in black and white before I start coloring is giving me more detail and better proportions and it's also faster than the way I was doing it.
After I have the colors done, I flatten them together and make a mask around that and then invert it. I then go to the layer that has the black and white drawing and erase around it and then combine it with the color layer so it's now one complete object. Then I do a background. I've only done one picture like that and I'm working on another one right now. It's coming out well so far, so I may stick with this technique. It's certainly better than the way I was doing it.
This guy [link] has some good tutorials on his site. I don't like how he traces photographs, but his technique is good and his tutorials were really helpful to me.
I've put up all the video game related art that I've done in my gallery. There's not much, though. A "Final Fantasy VII" picture and a few "Street Fighter" pictures and a couple of "Darkstalkers" pics. I think that's it. I quit playing video games a few years ago so I don't draw video game pictures much unless there's a contest or something and the ones I do do are usually from old games from the '90's. Was there something specific that you're looking for?
