View Full Version : Why Do You Do Graphics?
Wreckin Eyez 04-02-2006, 11:46 PM Seriously, it's not really like writing. Nobody really has graphics in their blood. So why do you do it? Me, I'm just insanely bored. Everything I've put my mind to, I've done. So I decided to try graphics because it seemed like a challenge. Wasn't as much of a challenge as I thought, but it keeps me busy.
southpole 04-02-2006, 11:52 PM my story on how i got into gfx,
i wanted a sig,
found a gfx fourm,
and requested,
i needed to have more posts,
and i couldn't post anything about anything,
cuz i didn't have any of the progs,
so i d/led PS and viewed others works on the site,
and started to make my own shit, just to get my posts up,
and then i just kept with it.
Restrictive 04-02-2006, 11:56 PM i do graphics because im bored. when ever im bored, i try something else with my graphics. also, i wanted to try something new and this is actually the type of thing ive wanted to try. didn't think id get interested in it but i did.
|teChniQueZ| 04-03-2006, 06:48 AM I used to do shit on MS Paint, and I wanted to expand on my skills, so I downloaded PS and I just started to get better and thats about it, oh, and because I was bored one summer..
IdE-iLL™ 04-03-2006, 07:18 AM Because nobody made me a goddamn sig, now I wanna make a career outta GFX.
Irate. 04-03-2006, 08:36 AM outta boredom.. and waiting for what seems forever for people to make me a decent one.. i'm no pro.. but it still cures my boredom and using different text styles gives me ideas to try out with a spray can
Restrictive 04-03-2006, 08:47 AM ^yeah. i hated waiting long just to get a sig.
Irate. 04-03-2006, 08:50 AM and making rediculous offers with RW cash and still noone hittin me up with something good..
I started doing it, cause i saw sigs on forums and liked them and wanted one for myself and no fucker would make me one. Found out what to get and figured how to use it. I didn't expect to like it much, since i only got it to make a sig for forums, started enjoying making GFX, plus it good when your bored, and i got into GFX alot, so now i do gfx for money, and for fun, plus its a challege, especially when you see some work, and get a really good idea inspired from that work, or just get a idea in your head, and then to get the image from your head, into a visible picture, IMO is really cool. Plus now i wanna get into a career with GFX.
.Blessed 04-03-2006, 03:12 PM at 1st it was for fun and shit and to get my rep and e money. but now i do it at school and im going to continue it in colledge and hopefully make summin out of it.
SomethingAwfl 04-03-2006, 03:55 PM I've always done animations and I used to do Flash games and movies all the time. When I got onto forums for the first time, I tried making my own sigs in MS-Paint and then downloaded Photoshop and got into it especially when I found out about animated sigs. I just do it for fun now nothing serious although I recently sold a CD Cover to a local emcee in NJ.
Speak. 04-03-2006, 04:30 PM i do gfx cause no body did me a sig i liked after latto did my first sig, (no offence blessed, that sub zero sig was nice,lol). so i started using gimp, lmfao, then found a PS CS2 key-gen and started using PS. i dont usually do much yet though, other than sigs, im prolly one of the worst gfx heads here right now.
one.
|teChniQueZ| 04-03-2006, 05:39 PM Lmao, no your not, trust me.
BoneStarr 04-03-2006, 07:28 PM At first I was kinda bored, then a friend of mine showed me some stuff he'd done, and wanted to get in to it, so he reccomended me some forums...
Now I love it, its a form of art, I dont just do sigs though, I do wallpapers for websites aswell.

Adam™ 04-03-2006, 09:37 PM Dimes > ATR
but yea man azim was never 'bad' at gfx... he was mediocre... i used to make him sigs back when his name was like machiaveli or sumthin to that nature... he used to always want tupac sigs.... *sigh* i miss the olden days
^ lol iw as a big Tupac fan, still am, just not as much...
Anyway my first sigs consisted of filters and pre-cut gaming renders, they really did suck, and if you go back you won't fin em, cause i posted em in my sig, so it will just show you my current.
Adam™ 04-03-2006, 11:08 PM ^^ my first sigs were default brushes... or attempts @ me making brushes... then i would cut out an image and paste it on.. colors never matched or nething.. lol oh the good old days...
.Blessed 04-05-2006, 05:32 PM lol i remember the blue blood days...when me and t.bone was at the same level lol and we had some little shitty sig shit.lol
Speak. 04-05-2006, 05:38 PM ^^^ lmfao... where is t. bone, fuck. i guess everyone elevated a lot at some point in time, most cats that are bad right now will probrobly get better when they actually know what all the shit on photoshop is for... blue blood,lol, i remember that xzibit sig... you did a whole lotta xzibit shit blessed, then Azim... just had azim in his user title... hmm... the memories.. (edit) shit, he still does, what was his old name,Lol.
one.
.Blessed 04-05-2006, 05:50 PM dysfunctional or some crazy shit like dat. thats the only other one i can remember.
|teChniQueZ| 04-05-2006, 05:50 PM T.Bone was horrible, lmao.
.Blessed 04-05-2006, 05:53 PM lmao he stayed at the same level as he was a year ago lmao.
|teChniQueZ| 04-05-2006, 05:54 PM Yeah I know, lmfao, oh well, I guess photoshop wasnt made for some people in the world. Stick to makin' beats!
Speak. 04-05-2006, 05:55 PM lmfao. yeah, i gave him photoshop activation codes like 20 times, he learned how to do text animation, but damn, his sigs sucked overall. Lol.
|teChniQueZ| 04-05-2006, 05:58 PM Yup, oh well..
