I dont know what you guys are talking about family guy is hilarious!

[JoshuaFH]

The non sequitur humor has a certain charm, but you need the right mood/mindset for it.

I used to watch it.  Brian is a Mary Sue and the whole show has increasingly become a soapbox for Seth McFarlane's political views.  Also, I hate him.  I hate him and his smug grin.

Well, uh, back to the topic. Soulwynd, do you plan to make more creepy cool pictures?

I've grown to agree and accept this. It took a good gander in Dethroning Moment of Suck to also point out other flaws I failed to notice previously.

Spoiler: Family Guy rant explaining (click to show/hide)

Family Guy has diminished to a soapbox indeed. I still catch the classic 1st/2nd seasons though. Those were the good ol' days of it's unique (at the time) nonconformist comedy. back when it was solid and creative. Now it's turned into a liquid TV show; it conforms to everything/every one. I mean, watching Stewie go from a war monger to a flamboyant 1-year old (still) sorta ended up becoming the final nail into the coffin; then it stopped being funny, and just sad. Brian's hypocrisy is just as bad. Comparing seasons, and his POVs and behaviors, they're no longer the same character. Hell, the abuse towards Meg has reached "Let's just put her out of her misery once and for all already, out of mercy."; that being the audiences' perspective. Hell, since when did the show also become anti-religion of any sort as well?

I mean, I, being Catholic myself, don't mind Athiests and Agnostics. Sometimes they provide good points from their end. But when things reach these levels of just plain insult sans insight, it's just bullying now. That's probably the main reason I no longer like Family Guy these days. It's just plain bullying now (or more like, since it got revived, and after season 3/4). How old is it now? Competing Simpsons old now?

Not a bad pic. Ever check out the Layers books? Those have some interesting things in them.

I got a couple of free pdfs of Layers when I got CS4.

I do them at random, or -maybe- if someone has some request.

Nah. I like figuring things out for myself, plus I have years of experience with photoshop. When I started with it I think it was on version 4.

Just because I do something quick and dirty it doesn't mean I always do things that way.

This is something I did for a friend a while back:



And from original to finish:

 We might give a better reception to this if we know who the photoshop was about instead of "it's possibly but not definitively from Naruto." Honestly I hoped that one of the people here who is into anime would point it out and the differences/similarities to the character it is based upon.

 But yeah, I know eyes are funky to do right. Good job not making it look awkward.

[Soulwynd]

It was about naruto and the mangekyou eyes. It's not based on any character, just a random mangekyou pattern I made.

Thanks, I tried to make it look more realistic... But then... It didn't look like they were that imposing at all. So I tried to make them a bit more stronger color-wise and gave them a higher contrast. In turn, I defocused the rest of the image to give it an eerie feeling.

I guess the point was to make people stare at the eyes for a few seconds.

[Duke 2.0]

 And it works. Generally when I see eye 'shops I glance over them, notice what they added, and look over the rest knowing full well what they added. With this I did pause for a few seconds to look it over. It was not awkward, and it was visually pleasing to stare at them.

 Christ, now I'm talking like I'm in art classes again.

@soulwynd: being a regular farker, I laughed at that pic. Awesome job.
