Minimi · Thu 26/02/2004 18:41:44

WHOAAA

when I saw 'the gimp' I thought about pulp fiction, but this is waaaaaay better

Squinky · Thu 26/02/2004 20:06:52

ummm...What did you do? All I see is a chick tinted red and some designs around her. Unless you drew this yourself....then I'm impressed...

Minimi · Thu 26/02/2004 22:52:10

thank you blackbird and n3tgraph!

Squinky... this is just merely a test image. I just began with the gimp, and tested a few features... nothing special, or awesome... just wanted to show

Nacho · Thu 26/02/2004 23:52:37

This is just a lot of filters... I am not really sure if it deserves our attention, or criticism, as it's been you who has said this this has been just a few minutes work...

Minimi · Fri 27/02/2004 00:00:22

farlander, let me be honest to you! STFU YOU! You always have comment on everything I say, or do! Why are you so cruel to me?! Grrr... ok ok, my art is bad and a pain to the eye... but we are not all soooo good as you! :

hmm... you edited your post quickly... :o :o

Nacho · Fri 27/02/2004 00:25:10

Actually... I edited as soon as I saw that you posted the original photo, which makes easier to see the process.

BTW... i don't think that I am seen as a harsh critic

When I don't like something, I don't usually post if I think that no criticism would help to improve the image...

But your case is different, because, while people post in a sensible way, I have the impression that you like to post very early states of your work.

Critics Lounge has to be used to improve your art. When you're stucked while producing something, post here and we will try to help, but don't post here THINGS THAT YOU CAN IMPROVE WITHOUT OUR HELP.

That goes againt the rules and the thread that Andail started some months ago, complaining that the first page of the critics lounge was full of post less old than one day.

So... post more elaborate art.

(P.S. don't order me to shut the fuck up again, ok? I'll care less this time, but don't do it again, I'm too much for you)

Hey minimi...I'm not sure what Farlander told ya before his edit but I have to agree with him in some way...
Like I told you before you should probably be able to far better graphics if you'd invest a little more time...no offense at all..

) Like the lines of the bra could use more detail, they stand in great contrast to the photograph of the woman. They're just sloppy lines now...

[edit]
okay I read the thread bout the gimp...so christians aren't allowed to use pirated software ?...I nearly pissed my pants...
btw sorry las narajas....

Cheers!

--edit--
I wish people would stop editing posts and making replies to said posts seem incongruous.

Nacho · Fri 27/02/2004 00:39:15

I just posted that I didn't knew how much of the image was work of Minimi and how much wasn't...

well, this is the critics lounge, if you don't want people to say bad things then don't post bad art

Darth Mandarb · Fri 27/02/2004 02:27:37

Damn ... that's a tastefull nude.

Well, I'm pro Gimp whenever possible, it's a great program and everyone should give it a try. For the most parts, there's no reason why a skilled person couldn't do the same quality image editing with Gimp as they do with PS/PSP. That being said, personally I can't stand working with it and choose PSP.

But, since you posted this in Critics lounge and asked criticism... As an answer to your question, no I don't like the image. I don't really understand the point of it. There's a few filters thrown in and a bad paintover that looks just what it is - mouse drawn. It's not the worst 'photoshopping' I've ever seen technically, and maybe it's not the worst idea either. Then again, I've seen tens of thousands. It just needs more point, idea and a few hours of work. As of now, I'd give it 1 out of 10.

If you want to learn photoshoppery, Worth1000 is a good place to start. There's a few tutorials (for PS, but should work for Gimp too) and over 72,000 user submitted images to study.

yeh cos pirate software is so much worse for christians than pornographic images...

Minimi · Fri 27/02/2004 06:42:07

#1 -the words "STFU", were only ment to clarify myself with more awesomeness

, wich probably didn't work out, sorry farl... shouldnt have said that...

and #2, it ain't pr0n... it's a simple photo of the female body. seems you don't know the difference...

BOYD1981 · Fri 27/02/2004 06:47:06

that would actually be classed as softcore pornography as it is erotic imager, you're just not that intelligent

Nacho · Fri 27/02/2004 09:31:53

Apollogies accepted, (

) but have in mind that your tonge is "too quickly" and you launch your poison too soon, I haven't been the first to receive (remember DG) and such attitude is not the one supposed to be had by a young christian.

And remember what I have said before... If I criticise you is because I think that you have cap room to improve, you should take the attention I pay to you as a compliment.

Minimi · Fri 27/02/2004 11:27:12

Hey farl, I just feel to say that I'm sometimes at the internet not myself for some reason ... pretty weird... but I sometimes I have the feeling like everyone will bow for me. And also, I think you are right, that I say too quick things, without thinking about the consequences. I should really learn to not take attention from all people...

and bytheway... it does is pornographic material boyd, you are right... I'm throwing it away from my server... and I'll be just practising The Gimp now, untill I made something with more effort put in, and worthy showing, or when I really need help.

Phemar · Fri 27/02/2004 13:19:08

Why'd you take it down? Hmm?
