the reduced orignal is on the left. most recent edit is the last on the right.


and no I've never done this befor however i'm not a nub at photoshop

[endless]

well, Vog, i never clean colour page before, so i won't comment on the first one :p
well, yeah, you need to redo the OP and naruto pages
did you burn the black? there's still much dust there and you need to run it trough Neat Image, but the gray is fine to me ;)
and for typeset,, please change the font XD wild words will do
anyway, good luck and work hard! :D

[The_Vogfather]

meh yea i guess i over thought the font a bit.. (skiny font for a skelli guy was what was going threw my head.. but i will correct it..

thanks for the input

[Annita]

- burn/paint black. You don't need to reduce more noise, that looks ok to me. Just burn black.
- change your font. Your font looks like Arial to me :-/ You don't need to use Wild Word. Be creative. But we need a font that caplocks all the letter for normal bubble.
- shape bubble more

[The_Vogfather]

updated how about now

the two fonts i used was

Prestige Elite Std for most of it and impact for the group

[Odinn]

btw its better if u have the raws up for comparison and if you update a pic then plz dont overwrite the previous version, i can get confusing because it looks like ppl are criticising a part of the picture that is fine, just post the updated pic in a new post

[The_Vogfather]

ah yes that would make sence i will update that post so it has them ok i won't update that post after this

I looked over Naruto and Bleach and they look nice, but there's still dust left on the blacks that you should burn, and you also seem to have overleveled the blacks on the page of OP loosing some detail with it(last panel bottom right corner-nicely visible) but it's the first level before the filtring so it didn't loose that much. Keep on training and improving it get's a lot easier later on ;)!

[Annita]

cleaning is improving, good. Typeset is improving, good too. But your typesetting need little bit better care, like don't make bubble looks too crowd, shape it like a diamon. :)

new op at the top... added the blood plus one now one more to go lol but this one needs alot of work done... ;; guess i'll do it tomarow


does anyone have any sugestions reguarding the colored one..

[letsrock0303]

You're doin good Vogfather. The Blood+ page looks nice. Still a touch of dust in the two rght panels. But other wise looking nice.

Your Naruto needs quite a bit of work yet. Like they said before it is still a bit on the dusty side. And the bear about Naruto is you gotta redraw the white lines. Once you get the pen tool down though it is very quick and easy.

You TRC color is nice. It was a nice raw though.

One Piece is overleveled a bit (I would actually say it may be the whites that are over leveled). You lost a lot of your fine line detail. If you are worried about getting the whites white magic wand tool and the paint bucket are your friend.

On your skip beat page, the greys are not popping enough. I will now reveal for you and everyone else my trick for making the greys pop in Kenichi (which has the same problem). Lol I'm sure it's nothing everyone doesn't know already. Adjust your black level, then make a new layer based off the adjusted one, go to level again and this time darken the middle (grey) slider. I ususally like to adjust it too dark then reduce the opacity on that layer until it looks the way I want it to. Then flatten or merge and you are set.

Hope this was helpful.

The OP page is much better but you missed a bit of dust in the last panel and you need to learn how to crop and rotate since you can't leave the blacks around the page like that!! :D

[The_Vogfather]

well like i said i'm rather new at this but ive been workn with the program for a while..

updated blood plus
updated naruto
thanks for the tip rock. updated skip beat 1
posted progres on skip beat 2 ;; by far this has been the hardest part for me. total free hand gustamation drawing has never been my best.. i also want to check if i'm doing it right if not i want to know what i need to do

[The_Vogfather]

ok over the past few days i've been tinkering with a few of the setings as well as reading threw the fourms for other ideas.. with that said i've been able to bring the size down 25% from what it was without any loss.. now without takeing file size into concideration which one is better

[Annita]

i like your color page now. It's clearer than the one before.
page B abit blurry. Just use dodge tool to get rid of it and it will be cool. The last panel bubble isn't clearly clean :p Typeset is better than before. Keep it up ^^

page A: i can't seem to be able to load so i can't compare T_T

[mab]

very nice work in OP :D

for naruto u still have problem with the grey there but there is another problem which lost of line detailed in naruto shirt

and the others look very good i think u r ready :D

i will speak with one of the admins and see :D

[The_Vogfather]

yea for the colored one i did something simular to what rock sugested about the grays where as i had the brighter one underneath and the darker one on top and reduced the opacity on the darker one so untill i got the brightness that i wanted

as far as imageshack i think one of thier servers took a dump for a while.. its working fine now

ty all i look forward to working with you :banana:

[mab]

for me it is good for speedscan for sure :D

nice work although the grays drak so u must have overlevel it XD

[The_Vogfather]

edit i just noticerd the dust in the last bubble

[Lexical]

I looked over Naruto and Bleach and they look nice, ...

Bleach? You mean Blood+, no?

By the way where did you find that OP raw? Did FH add some 'character' to a cleaned scan in reverse? ^__^

[mab]

wow vog nice work on that page but the gray looks weird also the speedlines seems be not done :x

but i think not sure u should add noise to the gray to make it look better

look at the tutrial about the fast good gray way or something he tells u how to make it better

and very good job in all other work but the gray need little work with the noise :D
