Design Tutorials

[Kolbertt]

Ok, this is the place where you can share your newfound tutorials, your favorite ones, or just ask for help. Also, you can talk here with much more freedom than the personal threads.

Think of this as the "Chat Thread" of the art section. That being said, this is NOT a "Chat thread" itself- And non-Artsy posts will get deleted.

So, go on! - Ilustrate others with your knowledge!

Okay so I thought it's about time to load some resources here and give some advice.

I think that in order for a good sig it is essential that you have a high quality render/stock..

With that in mind there is some places that I would like to recommend.

www.planetrenders.net - provides high quality renders and resources including C4ds and fractals. You need to join, but there are some tutorials available..

www.sxc.hu - you need to join this also, but it provides high quality stock if you are looking for stock, only (which can supply a nice BG for sigs, or if you are more advanced you can use stock in your sig.

www.gamewallpapers.com - have some good quality wallpapers, that can be used in sigs, unless otherwise stated.

http://sdb.drshnaps.com - for sprites

http://jdrsprites.netfirms.com - for sprites again

Okay, so I would suggest all of the above as useful resources. Just one thing, but Im sure this has already been stated but I thought I would reiterate it. Using pieces from deviant art is a big whopper of a no no unless specifically getting permission from the creator of the piece and crediting them for the use of their piece. DA is picky about this kinda stuff so it's just a friendly reminder :)

^I completely agree with you Final it is important to have good quality renders/stocks and all those sites you listed above are good-planetrender is also a great place to get some Cd4 guys.

Also thanks for the sprite links I really needed some.

Also I have some more sites for Fonts,Cd4's and some renders
http://www.dafont.com/tiza.font-really good for fonts this is where I get the majority of my fonts-check the site out if you need new fonts.

http://lucidgfx.ipbfree.com/-very good graphic site dedicated to gfx for beginners, also they have a lot of resources pack that are useful like Cd4,reders,stocks,sprtes,fonts,and tuts pack so be sure to check it out.

Teams need an overhaul of some sort. Orihime chan has suggested a one on one battle between herself and another participant. There was alot of interest expressed in this idea, and in reality it should be something the teams should be able to do also. Team battles giving more people a chance to participate...should the interest arise...a suggestion...Seems at the moment both teams are dead in the water..

EDIT: There has been a lot of interest in this so:

We definately need more team battles to go on or at least some more member battles to go on.

I recommend Planet Renders. Amazing community for anything relating GFX. So much there, you'll get so much better going there also. I did. *nod*
