Are you making the katana itself, or the shikai/bankai ice dragon? Either way, I'm sure it'll turn out great and thank you for the compliments

yay! - someone else that uses paper mache!! ^w^

i'm only just starting to use this medium - and was planning on making my weapons in future from this - and if you ommit the cardboard frame work and make it COMPLETELY from paper mache....it actually hurts!!!

i made a VERY simple short/broadsword from it (which took ages - since it was my first lolz) and it HURTS! - it's very hard @_@

maybe we can share tips in future ^^

Did you try making a papier mache weapon/object without a cardboard frame?

Care to show me a photo of your broadsword? I like seeing other people's works Sure, if you need help on making something send me a note

TnT - i still have to put up my May photos and my firewall is completely sucky!


i think it has PMS!

once i'm done with the May photos i have the next month etc - and i'm trying to make like an 'overveiw with the process on a panel type thing...but my paintshop pro is having a fit - i'm still learning it

(i wish my photoshop hadn't died TnT at least i knew how to use it *sigh*)

i'll get it up eventually lolz

and i'll be asking on the tips - when i figure out something to make again - busy

D'aw, you'll get around to it, and you'll also get the hang on PSP - it took me a while to figure out what 'layers' were in PhotoShop when I first started last year! D:

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Tahleena In reply to Odd-One-Out [2007-10-31 07:48:55 +0000 UTC]

that's not the problem! TnT


i know the layers - whats messing with me is that in photoshop with a stylus you get a gradient line like you shading with a pencil... with PSP you shape witha fixed size and you can't make like very light/thin lines for things like hair T_T - and i've yet to find the thing that lets you like do that heavy line image/mask thing - that i was sent a tutorial on to like; take your pencil line off the paper and stick it onto a transparent page so that you have the lineart , but not the smudges taht were made when you drew it etc!!!

sigh.... so still working on it...

PSP isn't designed for painting, that's why. xD

Tahleena In reply to Odd-One-Out [2007-10-31 23:43:25 +0000 UTC]

then what's it supposed to be for then? - i was told it was a drawing program @_@

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Odd-One-Out In reply to Tahleena [2007-11-01 07:50:08 +0000 UTC]

It is a drawing program, but it's more suited to photomanipulating and simple drawing, in my opinion. Painter, PhotoShop, and openCanvas are more advanced.

Tahleena In reply to Odd-One-Out [2007-11-02 01:21:54 +0000 UTC]

well i have the open canvas ... so far i can't 'watercolour' which is wat the colouring looks like to me - i suck at blending!

if PSP is a photomanipulate thing - why is it sooo difficult to shrink, copy and paste onto a larger panel @_@ - it keeps makeing a new window TnT and how do i make borders

can i make a watermark/signiture with PSP? was going to do it with photoshop...but then it died TnT

siiigh - ah well i'll get it eventually - at the moment it doesn't want to let me shrink photos and paste them onto a panel for an 'overveiw' *threatens comp*

sigh - i'll get it eventually...tho at the moment it looks like my firewall isn't going to let me upload ANYTHING at all *sniffle* stupid work computor!! grrr!
