The Energon Pub

Okay, so I just got photoshop CS3, and I've been playing with all the new features that come along with it. Anywho, I need some help with this little piece I've been working on, like how to get that nice shine that the promotional pieces for the Animated characters have. And on another note, the program keeps griping me about upgrade status and won't let me advance with setting up the freakin' program, any help suggestions would be nice.

stop that

Anyhoo, it definitely keeps with theanimated style, lookin' good.
Unfortunately I know zero about photoshop..I use GIMP.

Looks great, but you're forgetting something that all Primes from the animated series have: THE CHIN!

Stop what?

Also, that's not Prime, it's Primal his chin goes more for girth than length.

Looking real good! Love the feet

If by shine you mean highlights.
There are many ways to do this. I'll tell you mine. I create a new layer and name it. I set the layer on color dodge. I choose a pure white color and set the layer fill to aroun 17% to 30 %, whichever you decide it's best.

You can also add effects(glow) to really make it shine but i don't think the animated toons have that.

cool!
keeps with the animated style (even tho he doesn't have YHE CHIN). post a pic of the beast mode

I'm not a big fan of the Animated style myself, but you pulled it off exceptionally well! I think its because you actually didn't add the chin YEAH I LIKE A NORMAL CHIN YOU GUYS, OH NO.

Are you planning on doing any of the other BW cast?

Perhaps, I am working on a Rhinox design. But seriously, if anybody know any thing about photoshop cs3 I could really use some help. It keeps asking me for the serial number for my previous verion of photoshop, but I don't have a previous version. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Oh, and:


Thanks for those tips!

I think the head is a bit big but the rest is very good and inkeping with the style.

That's awesome man. Could you perhaps.. do commissions?

If you could turn Armada Blurr into an Animated version, i'd probably poop my pants.

Consider your pants pooped:



Colored version is in the works, in the mean time, enjoy this non sequitor:

Holy bleeping crap. That's freaking awesome! I love how you incorporated the chin.. it just looks so awesome! Like a combination of Armada Blurr + Beast Machines Silverbolt + an Animated fiesta. Dr.Buffalo... you are amazing! I can't wait for the colour

Wait no more.

Oh pleaseplease bring g1 shockwave into animated style. ^^
That would bring me a triple orgasm and wet pants.
Oh and perhaps movie barricade if you have the time.
Art trade?

This style suits you. I like it. It certainly enables for more expression than Cybertron.

Dr Buffalo, thank you once again! You've truly done a great job

I got one. Beast Wars Silverbolt

G1 Soundblaster would be awesome!

Haha, the list is already growing

So, you are taking requests? I'd like to see....an animated Guiltor!!!

For reference(or to find out who he is), a link to his transformers wiki: http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Guiltor

Oh yeah, your other stuff looks awsome, like it came right from Hasbro's dest . Keep up the good work .

I have only one request.
Rodimus Prime (OR) Hot Rod
robot mode and vehicle mode, perhaps?
then I'd go all squishy
