I taught poser a couple tricks and it bit me a few times...I think we\'ve called a temporary truce.
Then there\'s my faithfull old standby psp8..it\'s starting to fight dirty too.
Here\'s about where I gave up.

That\'s cool looking, Paradox. Here\'s a secret - we all had to start somewhere once, and we were all new to graphics at one point in time. Keep at it, keep trying new things, ask questions, share work, and you will advance your skills in no time. By the looks of things, you already have a very good start /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

Do you want to see my first photoshop work, Paradox? /blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' /> [attachment=1836:attachment] Just think... I\'ve went from that, to stuff like [url=\"http://www.deviantart.com/view/25053518/\"][u]this![/u][/url] It all takes time, you just have to be patient. The best advice I can give you is to do lots and lots of tutorials, fiddle with everything in photoshop, and always post your work for friendly critique on it so you know what you could improve upon. /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

thanks Tami! Thanks Dren! I feel better about my art already!

Art isn\'t something to be ashamed of !!! everyone has his own style and has to start learning sometime /bigwink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\';)\' /> You made a very good start now keep it up. We will try to give you advice on how to improve your work. /good.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'(Y)\' />

Anyway here\'s my latest low poly car project /bigwink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\';)\' /> need to remove some edges to lower te polycount though.

That looks really great tibs! I\'ll be up to par with your modelling skills some day! /blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />

Great work tibs... now make it drift Initial D style /blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />
(sorry been watching a whole lot of the episodes /blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />)

I made my newest image! I am proud of it... /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

[url=\"http://www.killanet.net/uploads/Reqerz.gif\"]/click.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'(click)\' />[/url]

I like the background!

Nice work /good.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'(Y)\' /> I edited your post to link to the image because it\'s quite big, hope you don\'t mind /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

Thanks Scott! At first I thought you turned my image into a smiley.../blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />

Thought you might wanna see the final audi model.

Here it is.

Thats pretty damn nice tibs, could you remove the wireframes and add some gloss to the paint and the windows so we can see how it turns ou then?
Anyway really nice job!

Here\'s a quick render, made it green cause of the demand for it /blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />

again really nice job man, specially like the headlights /good.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'(Y)\' />

someone demanded a green car? now who would do that? /whistle.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'(whistle)\' />

for your first car render, you have done an incredible job, Tibs. It looks better than alot of the cars in some of the top games. /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

looks good.. now give me technical info.. /blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />

Poly count?
Render time?

Ooooooooh! CAR!!

Here\'s another scene I modelled these few days. Most of you already saw the progress but FINALLY it\'s finished /GGCoffee.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'(coffee)\' />

woah, nicely done.. looks almost real. /good.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'(Y)\' />

this was an experiment, and in this experiment I learned that I cannot colour skin very well, so therefore, the picture has a blue hue setting. I tried green (of course) but that was just too....alien looking. /blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' /> [attachment=1893:attachment]

Eek.. those damn aliens are now starting to make their way to KG!

i made this, its paying homage to seul hudson, A.K.A - Slash from guns n roses, let me know what you think

I like the way you\'ve done the colours on it. Did you draw that by hand?

Very cool I love the style /spoton.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'(Y1)\' />

nah not by hand, its all done with pen tool in photoshop, its a bit of line art and vector, im glad you like it /biggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':D\' />

gah the pen tool, my worst enemy o.0

Heres a wallpaper that I made for Killagraphix. Enjoy. /shades.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'B)\' /> [attachment=1928:attachment]

That sphere was actully just a test, but it worked out awesomely /shades.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'B)\' />

Well some of you know that I entered in the C4D Cafe contest to model and texture a chess set.

My first entry is finished and this is how ot looks /bigwink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\';)\' />

That\'s very nice looking Tibs /good.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'(Y)\' />

Here my new creation, lol was bored so I made it for my msn display pic /biggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':D\' />

<-----

nice self portrait, HoaX /biggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':D\' />

[i]*runs like hell*[/i]

*Zing* /blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' /> lol, you win this round.

Heres a quick wallpaper I was working on today, its not really finished but i\'ve decided to leave it as is for now. Basicly doing some more testing with orb etc. [attachment=1987:attachment] Like some one said, even a broken watch tells the time correctly twice a day /blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' /> /bigwink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\';)\' /> enjoy /shades.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'B)\' />

Very cool hoax, I love your glassy effects /blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />

Nice work HoaX /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

Heres my newest work, took me about 2-3 hours, its a vector image of a Nissan 300zx, and no it wasn\'t done the easy way with just some filter, I used the pen tool /blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' /> I think its not bad for my first attempt /shades.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'B)\' /> [attachment=1995:attachment]

it\'s certainly a lot better than I could do. It\'s pretty darn good for a first try. Only thing I would suggest is the white lines between sections need to be covered/blended

Looks great, next time just make sure the shapes your making with the pen tool connect to the neighboring shape so there is no white space. Also, make sure all the edges of it are smooth.. I\'ve done something like this before, but it was an outline of a guy I used in a peice called \"A Peaceful Night\" (found [url=\"http://www.deviantart.com/view/25053518/\"]here[/url]) It took about an hour or two to perfect the outline of him. /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

Very nice work dren. Yeh I got pretty impatient so i rushed it, I\'m usually not the one to work on a pic for too long /blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />

An abandoned house on our street burned down tonight (1 less crackhouse YAY). Mike gave me the idea for this picture...although he wanted it to say \"I didn\'t do it!\"

hahaha you pyro /blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' /> nice edit and nice cap on the burning house

us3rX /ph34r.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':ph34r:\' />

wacom, photoshop and about 6 hours. subtle symbolism in this piece, but I\'m probably the only one who knows what, where and why /bigwink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\';)\' /> [attachment=2541:attachment]

/whoah.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'(wow)\' /> nice work, I really like that one.

looks cool ada, abit orange imo...but that\'s probably part of the symbolism that I don\'t get >.>

Im not sure about the sybolism in this one Ada, but when I look at the picture it kind of has two looks. The most obvious one to me, is of a kinf of path cut between two rock faces, and then the second, is if you look over to the left hand side, you can see what looks like and orange waterfall, which could give the iea of the "path", actualy being water, then further in the back ground it looks like water splashing. Im not sure which one it is, and as I said before Im not sure on the symoblism either, but I do know this looks like an awesome peice, the stroke work, and general "painting" of the peice is excellent and really stiking. I also like the colour scheem used to. The orange, blacks, whites and greys look really striking next to each other and help give a certain intensity to the image. Great peice, 9/10

*edit* Oh, and too me, from my own above view on the image, the symbolism that I take away from the images is the idea of water being something that although more maluable and soothing, can still cut its way through rough, harsh and barren stone.
