I LOVE REZ AND HIS CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM!
YES, THAT'S RIGHT--CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM!
'da sikaurai was recently bitching about her inability to render cg art. She's never had the resources or the education. So one day, after reading some notes submitted to her deviantART account by some elitist photoshop prodigies, she gritted her teeth and decided she would try her hand at it.
A silly, freebie paint program that comes as an accessory to windows! That's what she decided to play with! She finished her amateurish piece within two hours, and with deluded pride, she emailed it to her beloved friend REZ. ANd this is how he responded:
Looks good, but it could use some anti-aliasing. It would help the
strong contranst between lighter colors and the pitch black background
look a little less pixelated. I know what you mean about having to
zoom in and take your time, though. Every digital graphic designer
goes though that. What software did you use to edit the background?
Here is an article that explain anti-aliasing.
HE FOLLOWED THAT UP WITH AN ARTICLE WITH ALL KINDS OF HELPFUL INFO. SAD THING IS. . . 'DA SIKAURAI DOES NOT HAVE PAINTSHOP. waaaaah!
But this is why sikaurai loves her friends. Because they are so loverly honest and forthright with her, even though she can be a tad tempermental. I LOVE YOU, AND PIRATE ME A COPY OF PAINTSHOP, OKAY??????
Um, just kidding, yo.
