Shuuka said: well the main thing i'd say is to add more textures, use brushes and shapes (with blending modes on them), and work on your textography (mainly just stop using stroke for everything; explore outer glow and drop shadow too). As for textures i suggest looking for deviantart packages you might like, and try them on overlay/soft light/screen blending modes. Another important thing is to add masks on the textures and erase parts with a softer brush that you don't need. As for brushes i suggest using soft light or high pass. High pass is very useful especially when you want to make the eyes or hair pop on the image. I hope this advice works; i wish i could give some examples but on phone rn but it's hard to xD you may also look at some of my work if needed; if you have any more questions just ask me :o i've been doing this hobby for about a year now xd here Hmm... I see. I'm already doing away with the strokes in text and I'm minimize the effects - limiting to gradient & drop shadow. How do you select a background for the renders and blend them together? or do you sometimes use textures as backgrounds?(I've only tried it once and got lucky with it) I can't analyze most of the final outputs due to the number of layers/changes made and my unfamiliarity with all the tools. Thanks by the way for the advice and feedback! |

Thanks by the way for the advice and feedback! honestly i end up using fanart a good majority of the time so that i don't end up worrying about backgrounds, but if i do, i just use a solid color with textures on overlay or soft light mode over it. kind of like this edition: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1543813 and no problem; hope this helps ^^ |

| @little_csilla @RinNiRin @taiyakies @Holocaster here are the staff badges, thank you for the patience :3 |
| This is copy paste :P Hello! I'll be on semi-hiatus for while. This is because my school year is at its peak, so I'm very busy with school work. I'll try to spare some time to make cards on the editions I participated a few days before the edition opens. I'll be fully active again by mid or late March. Thank you for considering this. I hope you understand. ^-^ |

| @Uli Breaks are always good~ Have a good time during your break :3 |

Im really sorry...i still want to continue to be a part of the club. But studying takes away a lot of time from me, and even i do not have a photoshop atm. Im stll thinking what can i do to solve this problem. Because i cant ( really ) install any of the new versions of photoshop. :'( and i wanted to do so many cards for this edition tough :( im really sorry. So i think i will need 2 weeks off. And try to sort out my problems. |
| @bigbootymummaci Hello, I'm going to resign from my post as a Card Maker. For now I'm only going to be active in a few club. This past few months had been great. I had many experience from working here. Maybe in the future when my schedule and work had lessen I might be able to work here again. For now, I'm going back to being members of this club. I'll drop by from time to time. I hope for all of the staffs, good luck and thank you for your hardwork~.... -Riucchi |
