If it's only pictures, 72 dpi .gif or .jpg. If you have Photoshop 7 or later, use the "save for web" option to minimize the size. You can't host files like pdf's on the sites you were recomended, they're only for pictures.

[Kyoto Kid]

Thanks,

I believe Paint does support both .gif & jpeg images. Don't know if it has a scan function though.

Photoshop is just a bit too spendy (last I recall about $600 - $800)

[TinkerGnome]

Scanners generally have some sort of scanning software with them. As for photoshop-like software, you could always bring out the GIMP. It's free and has a lot of features, though it's not quite photoshop.

[Akimbo]

Before I was into that whole pirating craze, I used The GIMP for my illustrations, manipulation, homework, etc. It's an excellent piece of software that can do some things that Photoshop can't. Personally, I still enjoy using Photoshop. It's something I'm accustomed to.

[Arethusa]

Unfortunately, Photoshop also does a lot of things GIMP can't. They're both good, and I really like to support open source, but I really do prefer Photoshop.

I had a similar experience with OO.o. I wanted to support it over Office, but by 2.0, OO.o was every bit as slow and bloated and far less robust. I still don't know what a mail merge is and I never will care, but at least Office can let me create a horizontal line of variable width.

Which is bullshit. It's well known that they tacitly have supported the mass piracy of their software because the people pirating it were never going to buy it anyway, and when those millions of kids grow up and become graphic designers and support the industry that does buy their software, they only stand to gain.

[Akimbo]

It's really unfortunate too. Adobe can really get away with a lot of crap. Quite frankly, they can choke for all I care.

Actually this is not the case. The reason that Photoshop still dominates is because the print market use it. Back in the day, print shops used macs. Coreldraw always has been a much better program than adobe illustrator, came out after the print shops were all using macs at that point so no one switched. (brainless sheep) Anyhow, since business hate to change infrastructures, they stayed with Adobe photoshop, illustrator, and that terrible beast of a program Quark Express. (I do not know anyone that actually likes quark, but it is what everyone uses.) Photoshop dominates, just like microsoft dominates, (they have been around, pretty much everyone has used it, it does a check of a lot of stuff, and there are a tonne of programs[in this case plugins])

[mintcar]

That sounds right. I take back my statement, but I still agree with:

[BishopMcQ]

I'm just popping my head in here to thank Squinky for his contributions to the Shadowrun Missions. Missions players will now get some great art on their contact sheets done by Squinky.

Thanks!

[Squinky]

Thanks Mcquilan! It's been a real blast doing working with you guys on missions, I am just grateful for the opportunity. You guys are doing some good stuff over there.

Update on the remaining art:

Well, I lost my internet for awhile, but am back and plan on wrapping these last four up this weekend. I have the character vincent mostly inked up, have had him for a while, and have a good start on Akimbo sketches. Then its just doing up Frackula's character and I'll get on to leela again....These are my plans, and I really plan to stick to them, so if I don't you can give me crap, heh.

As always, the thread is open for more requests and other artists to throw up their version. I'll be gone this weekend and hope to come back with the art for all the patient people who have been waiting, and would love to see more requests.

Thanks all.

Good to see you back.

Was wondering what happened.

Looking to get scans from my "Rogues Gallery" posted this coming week. Unfortunately most of it's in pencil (my hand is too unsteady for inking anymore) which usually doesn't scan very well.

Most of the stuff I have is D&D but there are a few of my early SR (SR2) characters including my namesake "KK".

[Fresno Bob]

If anyone wants to, they can draw my character Aziz, a human middle eastern Street Samurai.

He's 1.95m (6'4"), and about 200 pounds. He has coarse black hair, which he keeps trimmed short, except for a patch on top he keeps wrapped into a topknot with a red ribbon. He has dark green eyes, and his skin is dark tan.

He usually dresses in either jeans or leather pants, tucked into steeltoed engineer boots. He has a dozen or so t-shirts in various stages of decay that he rotates on a random basis. He also always wears his leather or armored jacket, both styled as front zip leather motorcycle racing jackets. He wears a necklace with a dented bullet casing on it

His weapon of choice is an ornate katana from the 13th century.

[Kyoto Kid]

What race?

Also, being from the middle east, I would think the weapon if choice would be a Scimitar as opposed to a Katana.

[Fresno Bob]

You would think.

And he's human.

[Valentinew]

If you're still doing sketches, I'd like one please.

Character named Zip, full-blood Cherokee, 18 year old human girl, technomancer, no cyber. She hasn't cut her hair, 'cause her mom liked it long. She fascinated by dragons, but not in a cult-like way. She lived on the street scraping by for about a year before she found a place to take her in, so she's still a little scruffy. Her persona is a cartoon badger wearing a backwards KC Brigade baseball cap. She also carries (& can use) a Remington 990. She spends most of her time in the Matrix & is easily distracted when in the "real world."

I hope that more than covers a description. I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

[Piecemeal]

here's something you can put your skills to if you have the time or inclination.

Character: Jamie Shiro. "Maru"
Race: Human

physicals- His Asian complexion does little to hide the smudges of dirt and grime; well worn marks of a lifestyle that only a day-long proper bath and a gallon of liquid soap might erase. Dark circles borne from harried nights of sleep ring his eyes, almond shaped eyes that harbor little but contempt for the world. Matted and dingy locks of black hair play havoc with conformity; ratted ends falling an inch short of his shoulders. Should he dare go without his usual layers of clothing, he would appear surprisingly fit however teetering on the borderline of thin, considering his calibre of daily nutrition.

apparel- A stormcloud gray T-shirt logoed “ABSOLUTION” in gothic print across the chest hangs loosely over a black longsleeved shirt that seems almost one size too large as the cuffs bunch up and overlap the pair of well worn black gloves he's almost never without. Torn and frayed baggy olive drag fatigue style pants hang at his hips, secured by a thick black leather belt that bears the weathered marks of age. The worn down tread of scuffed jungle boots mark his path in the world.


i am very interested to see your interpretation of this.
