[PS Guild] ~ Stock Dump/Requests - Love Hina & Negima Forums

Ryo Misaki · #1 (**permalink**) 1 Nov 2007, 1:02 pm

Any good PhotoShoppist (I like the sound of that. I'm coining the word~!) knows that Stock images are important!
Weither it's touching up photos, making a background for your favorite anime, or making a Siggy for yourself...
You almost always need stock.

What is 'Stock'?
It's any image you use in your work that you didnt create at the time. Usually, it's stuff that you havent created at all... Though using stock of your OWN drawn art isnt unheard of...

But without it... Most things are pretty plain, right? You can create a nifty background, add some nice text, and effect it all you want, but without some kind of character or image along with it, it's pretty boring.

So, the purpose of this, is to post and request Stock Images for use.
Post either stock you've clipped for the hell of it, or stock you've used before, or answers to requests for stock that people have posted here.

PLEASE Pre-Clip your stock, for ease of use.
What do I mean? Take out the background and erronous stuff, as if you were about to use it yourself.

Now, here's a problem... If anyone has a good solution, I'd like to hear it.
We cant use PSDs. They are large in size, and I dont know of any File Host that will accept the fileformat or large size.

The temporary solution?
Try and use a Transparent GIF... That is, if you can still keep decent quality with it.
If not... Use a JPG, but 'white out' the background. (Or any color... So long as its not too close to the original Image color, so as to be easily removed with Magic Wand.)

There you have it... Post your Stock~!

you mean a image with a transparent bg? O.o *got confuzzled reading that* 8D

Sorry...
You know when you clip a stock image? And you make everything but the main focus transparent, so you can use it in layers?

Yeah, like that.

Except we cant post PSDs, so we have to do something like a transparent GIF, or a single color background JPG instead.

you can use it as a gif...
I can see if I can come up with some..
any images you need??

Not at the moment... But I have many to dump, once I get on my own computer.
I clipped all the Motoko picces out of the LH Artbook. ^__^;;;

O.o Dam!!!

Ryo Misaki · #7 (**permalink**) 1 Nov 2007, 4:08 pm

Alright... I've converted and uploaded the stuff I have.

Again, most of this is clips of Motoko from the LH ArtBook. There are a few (about 10) that I havent finished.

4 of these are clipped stock I used for the NoseBleed Brigade sig.

There's plenty more lying around somewhere... and a bunch I still need to clip.
So, here:

VERY nice, Miss Yu~!
I'll definitely have to steal these... ^_^;;;

Anyway, here's some MASSIVE dumps. I clipped nearly 40 images over this weekend.
Yay.

Starting off, computer related imagery. Possibly good for PSAG sigs. ^_~
