Does my Art look big in this?

Lovely stuff Mitahane. Smacks very loudly of Willsher which is a good thing.

Thanks CrazyFoxMachine, I hope to become as good as this guy one day but I guess I still have a lot of hard work.  Talking about it, I should kick myself back to work ;°].

It's been a lot of fun so far.

Thats pretty special I gotta say! Bring back the Warlord and Battle Action!

Here's a wee mash-up I did:

I've been trying to upload this for ages, but the blacks don't scan properly, can anyone offer any advice?

Pops, If you have Photoshop, to improve the blacks you could try this: Duplicate your layer, change the duped layer from normal to Overlay then play about with levels/brightness/saturation to suit. The process should give you a strong contrasty image.

More haphazard but potentially usefull is to use the magic wand to marquee those blacks.
Copy and paste them into a new layer then adjust their brightness/contrast.

Hope it's a help.

You just need to use levels if your in Photoshop. Ctr L will get you there.

Mitahane - I like the second one especially

Hey guys here's a page of a horror comic I'm working on. Can any one give me a tip on how to drop shadows off of the cabinet handles in panel five? light source is the lamp at the top right edge of the panel.

[CrazyFoxMachine]

if you're using photoshop you can select a specific area and then fill it in black with the polygonal lasso tool - or even just the lasso one.

[Cpt Rhodes]

Dave, what Crazy Fox said.
Excellent page. Very clean art.

if you're using photoshop you can select a specific area and then fill it in black with the polygonal lasso tool - or even just the lasso one.

Do this on a separate multiply layer and flatten down when happy. Do not use the magic wand to make selections unless your lineart is 1-bit (bitmap -- no smoothed edges) and you have anti-aliasing turned OFF on the wand.

Cheers!

Thanks guys. I think I was pretty vauge in my question. Does any one know how to get the right shape and length for the shadow in perspective cast correctly. as I inked this in illust studio putting a shadow is no problem its putting a shadow correctly that I'm having difficulty with.

In my humble opinion I don't think the shadow is necessary and personally I'd be worried, (and that's only If I was doing it) that the shadow might actually make the handles hard to read as handles. The viewpoint is almost in exactly the same postion as the light which would render the shadows as negligible.

[Dave Hedmark]

Ah Thank you. I think your right maybe a subtle black lining on the handle edges that are away from the light. Thanks again.
