Speaking of pen tablets, does anyone know where I can get a good one cheap? I've been looking into buying one of those for months.

I use Photoshop and a little Illustrator every now and then. I don't use a tablet myself, just a good ol' mouse. I started with a mouse and am now too used to it to want to change.

Hehe... I like the sig, Lys

Would anyone be interested in making a Metal Adium dock icon?

more info here: http://homepage.mac.com/mbh0ckey

i know i shouldnt be requesting this but its very easy for those of you who make these b/c its just a duck listening to music with big headphones into and ipod or something in one hand and holding a comic book in the other. if anyone does this ill be sure to donate or something if youve got paypal or if you want a big thank you or something.

I said I would get back to it, and, by golly, I meant it!

This is supposed to be Adiumy in a godzilla costume. There's no legs, arms or tail yet, but, hey, it's a beginning.



Of course, now I'm thinking the costume looks a lot like Yoshi from Super Mario Bros.

Hey they're both vaguely dinosaurish, just name him whatever he turns out to be most like, great job this looks very swish

Glad you are starting again, just remember to keep it fun. And Yoshi is cute too.

Did whomever made the Marvin the Paranoid Android icon ever get a chance to make an animated version? I'd love to see it if s/he did!!

Oh, and what about an Animaniacs one? I can't be the only person who loves that show. (I would make one myself, but I can't do squat with images.)

if that's what you're talking about.

Yes, that one. But based on the comments, it sounded like the creater wanted to change some things, and I wasn't sure if those changes ever happened.

Somehow, I missed this question earlier.

I can't remember if I had a specific technique or not, but I do know the most important thing is to have the glow around the saber to be a darker shade than the saber itself. I'm pretty sure I just duplicated the saber-part, made it a litte darker and blurred it. I probably duplicated the blurred layer a couple of times as well to spread the glow out.

I hope that helped ya.

Cool, thanks. Seems like the same technique I saw in a movei tutorial

Here's an update for ya.



I added the zipper to make it look more like a costume instead of Adiumy being swallowed by a green lizard/dragon/whatever. Didn't think that would be good for the kiddies. :twisted:

I love the Godzila duck! Its awsome, do you think it would look better with polka dots that were another color?

The godzilla duck is really neat!

Is there any chance of a taekwondo duck? I desperately want one for my dock.

Yeah, pink is a little girly, huh?

Actually, I just thought it clashed with the color of the duck... <= its the same pink! *gasp*

Speaking of adium ducks... astronaut duck? I had one, almost done... then I got tiger - and, well, Gimp died, as did my external hardisk... so, I lost it. *sigh*
