[Wolk] NEW MOON ALT COMPETITION: POSTER

[Wolk.]

you didnt have a clue because up until now you were saying that creating gradients on ms paint was impossible because paint doesnt allow transparency lol..

and wow, you can see when photoshop was used, i think thats a talent most of this forum possesses.. it wasnt exactly like i was trying to hide the fact that i used it :S

What voiceover is saying is that you didn't hand dither the clouds, you used a photoshop brush and added your hand made gradient on top of them. photoshop was, therefore, a key attribute to the quality of your piece.

I said gradients where impossible on paint?

no... i said the quality of the clouds and the gradient were quite impossible (in a small ammount of time) on paint... not gradients themselves seeing as yours just looks like two blocks of quite hardened different colours i would call it much of a pro gradient.

edit:3 blocks sorry. And earlier back you said the gradient in my king kong was bad... im seeing the same technique being used but in a slightly different way.

[Wolk.]

and how could the gradients be made on paint when paint doesn't offer transparency? do you mean paint.net?

lol no word of clouds or moon there

edit:and no its not the same technique, youve really spread your dithering out and by using quite severe colour changes aswell, doesnt make it blend as well.

edit 2: but anyway it seems you need some help with it anyway, so heres a close up of mine if it helps

Those were the best choice of colours from 16 for a slight sunset look.

And taking into account there would have been a simple gradient before the cloud effect added, without no wips i couldn't have known that tbf.

ah i see, you were limited to a palette. well anyway take a look at the dithering i posted up there ^
might help you

[Accipiter]

yeah its nice dithering good detail. Only problem is when it zooms out you can see the that blocks kind of, unless thats the way you wanted it because it probaly would suit it more than a smooth gradient.

[Wolk.]

i only did that technique on the very top two blocks, and you can hardly see the top block due to everything else going on.

with the other blocks i did a much simpler one cus its a lot of work hand rendering the gradient

[Kyle]

can i just say that dithering is awful

[Wolk.]

thank you
