Me!
Huh. I might make a shirt this week.
Hah, thanks. By the way, these should also be useful:
ctrl+R to show rulers (right click on those to change units)
ctrl+H to show/hide extras (includes guides and grid)
Looking forward to it, Mr. Filley!
Thanks, Pensketch! It works great in Illustrator.
Dude, Iāve been largely MIA the last few weeks, are you and jack back?!
Sweet. Anyone else make a triumphant return?
This ought to be a cool one. Creativeness with boundaries is always a fun combo. Letās see what you got.
Nice designs last week Youāre art is really improving!
Iāve got you beat on the MIA Iām kinda back. I have at tops 2 hours to spend on a design, and with this one being so tediousā¦ I donāt know if I can do it. Weāll see. I do have an idea though.
Are you still submitting?
Thanks! I still havenāt made it to the top three yet, but Iām starting to show some consistency near the top, I think. I hope saying this doesnāt jinx me.
For anyone interested, I added some useful Photoshop tips and shortcuts to my first post here.
Iād like to be, summer is the busiest time of the year for my job, so Iāve been unable to make anything worth submitting in about a month or soā¦ Youāve been missed, thereās been a distinct lack of undead entries of late
Last few weeks? Iāve been largely absent since November, submission wise. I think Iāve submitted in two derbies since my 4th place finish in ācreate your own holidayā
but yeah, Iām back
ā¦at least for this derby that just ended and this one coming up. Iām having a tough time settling on a design idea for this thoughā¦so wide open.
Me too. I have ideas.
Thanks for that! I swear I learn something new about Photoshop at least once a week.
Now I realize just how many squares this makesā¦but itās a fun theme anyway.
If youāre making this in Photoshop, the quick and easy way is to start a new file with 16"x20" dimensions and set the resolution to 4.
Viola. Use the marquee tool to box in your color groups or by pixel by pixel if youād like.
My husband said something similar. He loves MS Paint for some reason. l o l.
Iām a little disappointed too, but it would be too easy for people to abuse this. Still though, wouldnāt it be awesome to see an 8 bit version of Master Chief? XD
That was going to be my first question ā not so much if I could put lines in, but if I could let the shirt show between squares. But then, theyāre pretty clear about the 1/4" blocks. Any space between them and youād be outside the print area at 64x80 blocks plus space/lines. So, probably not.
They say you can fill or not fill the pixel. So just think of the 64x80 pixels as a canvas. You can chose not to paint some or to leave a row blank to create a negative space line.
Exactly. eHal, you might wish to edit your top post with this. There should be similar options in other programs. Working with a 64x80 pixel image and resizing it when youāre done would also work.
