First Photoshop Picture

[traitorous]

Well I was at school today, and I was bored because I'm finished with my microsoft office class. I went to Photoshop and attempted to make my character's picture actually look like he does. Here are the before and after Pictures.

Before


After

Oppinions and suggestions are always good, so let me know what you guys think.

[Kit Lee]

Thats pretty good except the erased middle finger thing kinda makes the picture weird, reminds me of the censorship on television haha. Maybe if you could form it into a fist instead?

[traitorous]

yeah I only did it cause my teacher told me to take it out. I handed it in for extra credit. I'll put the finger back in tomorrow though.

[Shamino Warhen Ph.D]

Oh. I had no idea you completley stole your NAME from a popular anime series as well.

The more you know.

[traitorous]

I didn't steal the name from an anime... I used a completely different first name and then used the character's first name as my last name. And I didn't ask for your oppinion on how I came up with my name so stop spamming my thread.

[Darren Blayne]

[lazy]

^Wtf.

Pretty impressive. The area around the left hand is blurry though.

[traitorous]

Yeah I tried over and over again, but I couldn't get it too look right. I'll probably give it another shot tomorrow since I have plenty of time. I think I know what to do now so it should be fixed and I might put some more up tomorrow if I can get them done.

[king]

your forgetting how hapan has the family name first......Jaggerjack is his first name, not Grimmjow.

You stole the name, Leon didn't know so he approved your bio. If I had gotten to it first like I intended, you wouldn't have been approved.

change your name

[traitorous]

Jeez a little strict aren't we. I don't have a problem with changing my last name at all. You guys could have just asked me earlier if its that big of a deal. Just open my bio up and I'll change it along with my display name. You could have just sent me a PM about it instead of bringing it into my art thread though. That was a little uncalled for.

[Dain Gavyns]

Well, while we're just impeding on authority and all that good stuff...


Last time I checked, we didn't have a rule against using the partial names of pre-existing characters. Just against complete carbon copies.


We gonna make Leon change his name now, too?

[Maverik]

Technically the characters name is Squall Lionheart... But that's beside the point. It's not a set rule... But it's somewhat of an unspoken one. Ever since we had 3 characters with Naruto somwewhere in their name.

On topic, I like the chest. That was really well done. You just need to be a little more presice with the cloning tool on the details around his removed finger.

[Kira Karyuudo, Hikari]

Guys, really.

Is the kid's name as popular as "Naruto"? I've never seen it around here, at all, before. Why make him change it, when it's his character to do with as he pleases?

In my eyes, the unspoken rule is for common names like "Naruto" that pop up left, right, and center.

Question, Kurtz: why are you going out of your way to make him change it when there's never been a name 'Grimmjow" on the site before?


What about everyone else that has the same names as someone in an anime/history/whatever else..? Shouldn't we be cracking down on them, too? I mean, jeez, you might as well tell me to change Kira's name. Isn't that the name of a character on "Death Note" or something? (As I see Ryan pointed out to me on MSN, Kira's also a name form the "Soul Society" guys from Bleach.) >.> Even if it's male, it's been used before! (Anybody else seeing how absurd it is..?)

And before anyone goes "WHOAMGWTFBBSBBQ?!" on me, I'm making a point. Not trying to insult in any way, shape or form.

[Leon Loire]

It's Squall Leonhart. If you're going to bring me in as a partly-insulting analogy, get it right jackasses.

I approved him knowing he was taking the name of an anime character, since I watched his link in the signature and caught on. I still approved him; do you know why? Because we have no right to disapprove someone based on a goddamn name like that. We already restrict people on a number of various reasons. If someone wants to have their name like that, I say we considering allowing it.

Grimmjow's an interesting name, so why not let him keep it? He's taking the majority of the character's appearance anyway, so why worry? I did the same, yet my character is known for his personality and his actions, not his appearance.

So let's get over it, stop acting like Aryan Nazis, and move on.

[traitorous]

Okay, well enough of the whole name thing. I agree with those of you that think its stupid to make someone change their name just because its in an anime or something along those lines. And, like Kira pointed out, Grimmjow isn't really a well known character in the Bleach series anyway.

Back on subject now. I will be posting a few more of my works when I get home tonight some time. I can't get to my photobucket on the school computers, so I can't upload them on here. I fixed the hand so that it looks a little better, but I think I could still work on it. And then I did a few more with another Arrancar that my friend, who will be joining sometime soon, will be using as his look. I'll post all of those ASAP.

Actually, Seta originally named his character Naruto, so there's at least one.

Shhhh. She means the name "Grimmjow" isn't as popular.

[kai]

Hey, someone has to be the overly literal one. May as well be me.

[stern]

There is not a single analogy here that is truely the same as the situation described. It's like saying "Apple? Well, to you I say orange!". Both fruits, both round, but still very different.

He took a characters name and appearance....that's not an original character, that's a rip-off.

Leon is a perfectly normal name.....taking half the name, turning it into the first name, than altering the rest is completely fine in my book....it's an honest attempt at a different name. Merely changing the first name is, quite frankly, half assed.

Kira's name is in no way related to her characters image.....hell, Kurtz is named after a character in Heart Of Darkness, and King's last name is based on an author I like.....but they're entirely unrelated to the character itself.

Leon knew, which means he shouldn't have approved the Bio due to it being a rip off because he though it was alright, not because he didn't know it was a rip off.

Your not changing your name because it's in an anime, you changing it so your character is not a completely obvious rip off of an anime character. It's a rule in place for reason's we no longer allow red eyes, ninjutsu, or characters to have split peronalities.

Honestly, for someone who has run thier own RP board before, this should be common sense.

Change the name. Unless your name is red, no arguing.

[Maverik]

ENOUGH.

This thread's gone totaly off track because of all of this bull. I don't care if he want's to call himself Jesus Christ. The Bio was approved, the character was made, and if he's smart, he'll make the character his own.

No more justifying... No more reasoning... If I see one more post in here by ANYONE pretaining to this topic, the threads locked. If you REALY feel this needs to go on, take it up with Liam. He's got the final say on the matter.

I'm not in a good mood and I'm not going to stand for this kind of crap. So everyone cool your heels till the Boss Man passes judgement.

Now that the uglyness is past... Please resume what this thread was supposed to be about in the first place.
