Zophia poked me to make a thread. I know this will die off quickly, but I guess I could just show off some work in progress, and what I have managed to do by combining MsPaint and GIMP.
The first one is the outline. It is done in MsPaint, since GIMP was acting up.
The next two is the coloured result, both coloured in GIMP (It was acting okay again) The difference is the outline. The upper one is with the original outline:
With this one I copied the outline and blured it. So the original outline is on top, the next layer is blured, and then the colour come:
The last one here is what I will think of as the conclusion. A gradient layer from GIMP, smudged out and adjusted, again with the smudge tool. The lazy solution, I know.
Work in progress, right? I do not know if I am going to make it any better.
Well then Alt, let's just say that since I don't live in Europe, there's a reason we call the genre and everything associated with it Eurotrash xD
...I would like to say no offence intended but with a statement like *that* I don't think I could get away with it <_<
Or you could listen to Russell Peters talking about DDR. "You know that retarded game where people step on flashing arrows in time to s***ty Eurotrash, the doof-doof sort that Persians listen to in their cars nodding their heads and going 'Is best. Is best music in Europe.'"
hahahahahahahahahahahaha if only he knew some of the stuff DDR gets set to...
and it would be Denmark? eh? yes? Did you know that Norway hold the record of most last positions in the Eurovision? :P
Serves them right!
And it is eurotrash. I think the last time there was actually good music was when Denmark last won, possibly the year after as well (again our song), and then when the Finnish group won...
Possibly... What annoy me the most is that most countries have excellent artists and bands, but somehow their brain melt when the word "Eurovision" is mentioned... And then the crap begin T T And to some extent I would say Eurovision is worse than the US crap, but: We only have to listen to that crap once a year, while the US crap is all year.
I moved back to Finland with my girlfriend last August...We both got a serious depression right away...
I think I hate Finland...and on some forums..these stupid folk are accusing Norway and Sweden for the last position in Eurovision :P
They are whining that Sweden and Norway should have given more points to Finland...and now they plan that they won't vote for Norway or Sweden next year...and they try to get everybody to come along with this plan...my god I say...luckily it is only about 50 persons on that forum who talk like this...
I mean..how immature can a grownup be? stupid finns! *considers hanging himself*
I'm a proud Dane, I will dislike Sweden with all my heart, simply because of that > >.. Yeah for stereotypes!
And can we move the eurovision talk to the thread?
Anyway, just answering: Well, the Eurovisions are not something to take seriously, simply because it is halfassed and biased. Chances are Finland stunk and always has stunked. Weirdness.
Well... A) I do not own flash B) I do not own patience C) I failed miserably last time I was in a game project (still feeling bad about that) D) I highly doubt I would be any good E) I have no self esteem and so on.... So yeah, that is why...
Did I mention my non existing self esteem? I made some concepts for a project some time ago, but failed miserably. And I have a very limited ability, really. I would be a bad choice for anything but cannon fodder, and I might even fail at that...
