Dimentio's Graphic Showcase

[Dimentio]

I figured I'd show some of my work as well since most of the other Dissidia artists are, so here are mine. I've been making graphics since 2008 but my hard drive was reformatted sometime last year so I never got a chance to save most of my work, so here is everything I have left, along with some new graphics. You're free to use any tags or avatars that's posted, just don't claim them as your own please. Criticism is also appreciated ^^;

Some of my wallpapers are just enhanced with colouring and filters. The reason they're half assed is because I don't have as much resources as I use to or I'm just practicing my colouring on larger graphics besides avatars, so I just use whatever is available in photoshop by default...

[BRKNglassIncarnate]

DAMN! I love the Lightning and Izaya sigs >w<

[Kayarine]

I really like how you add lighting to your works. It's very eye-catching! (And I just love shiny graphics. XD)

I like the large pieces too. I have trouble with wallpapers and other large graphics due to lack of large resources, too... But those photo manipulations are quite impressive. And I love the Aqua wallpaper; the blending, decoration and colors all work so well together.

[Madoka Titus]

Izaaayaaaa-kuuun! He looks so uke in there.

[Cookies]

Wow, I love your style :3 Some of those are really amazing!

[Dimentio]

When I said I'd update the first post tomorrow, I meant a month later : D

Anyway, I updated the first post with some of my avatars, and I added my arcade stick artwork to the large graphics section.

[Rydia]

Damn, they're awesome! :O

I'm not as big of a fan of the fourth sig, but the others are amazing! *+rep*

[Sean1616]

Wow! An expert in icon making :3 And I love your signatures too! :D

[Thrillho]

Good stuff! Your avatars and large art look really cool :)

[Dimentio]

Thanks for the comments, guys. <3

I just finished up a Super Mario RPG photo manipulation not too long ago. It's 1920x1080 so it can be used as a wallpaper. It's a pain in the butt working with really low quality images, but I was able to pull it off in the end... All enemies, mushrooms and the Kerokero Cola were magazine scan quality, while Mario, Mallow, Geno and the berries had that .gif quality.

That's really good! The color is very nice, it looks like it's a forest during autumn between afternoon and evening. I like how the sprites were blurred according to their distance from the viewer to add to the depth and keep the focus on Mario and Mallow. I also like how you didn't forget to add the duo's shadow on the ground. I think the wallpaper looks as realistic as cartoon characters can look.

Also, I'm curious about how you managed to work with low quality pictures and make them look like high quality. Did you make vectors (not the exact term, but I don't know another word for it) out of them or did you use some other procedure like using various filters?

[Khell]

I'm not a graphicker at all, but I used to play SMRPG a LOT when I was younger. That wallpaper is absolutely stunning in quality considering the low quality bases you started with. Considering the year on that game, it's amazing how good those sprites look on a realistic background.

It also reminds me of this:

Dayum. Now that's proper lighting, although, I think it's unbalanced. Some parts should be burned :3 Lol. But that's just my perception ^^ Anyways, great job on the graphics! I hope to see new works :3

I actually had to use about three Topaz filters on each render for better quality and make them blend in with their surroundings. Thank God for those x.x; I also refined the edges for each of them since they were really choppy looking lol.

Those aren't actually sprites, haha. They're all artwork for the game but in scan quality. The piranha plant, Mario, Mallow, Geno and the Berries were in .gif quality.

Also, I actually got my inspiration from that song, along with the game's soundtrack XD.

I used about 12 adjustment layers to make the lighting, along with some brushing in the trees. Using the actual burn tool made some areas look a little strange, so I didn't bother with it =P.

There was a lot more artwork I wanted to use for this project but because I chose to make the setting the Forest Maze, I had to limit myself to just the enemies and characters that were actually there in the game. Hopefully, I'll be able to come up with another SMRPG photo manipulation idea in the future.

Thanks for comments~

I've been making some custom cover art for PS3 game cases lately, and here's what I came up with.

http://i52.tinypic.com/160oghu.png http://i55.tinypic.com/k0lqiu.png http://i55.tinypic.com/20qhpnm.png http://i55.tinypic.com/n2lnbc.png

I might redo the text in both Street Fighter cases, but the cases are suppose to look simplistic anyhow. I'm gonna get these printed out sometime next week.

I'll post the full print of my cover art upon request.

[Suppi]

Your ps3 case shops are nice :3 I wanted to ask if you would take a certain request if you could possibly pull it off well enough.

>Touhou Game
>PS3 Cover (one side only)
>Make it look real (real background as if taken from a camera)

I want to have a picture that says (lol PS3 touhou game) :3

If that's asking for too much please feel free to tell me you won't do it; I really don't mind. Just some thought that might be really cool to have :3

(If you do plan to do this please send me a message :3 I don't frequent this area much)

Thanks again - Suppi :3

[Dimentio]

I haven't made any graphics in a while but I did make a Persona 4 Arena PS3 theme. It took me several days to make and a good thing it did because it made the days go by so much faster, and now the game is out tomorrow XD

You can only see the tarot cards there but I've also included character portraits and philemon in his butterfly form.
