welcome to The Technodrome!

Best site on da web!

Yes, yes, welcome! Enjoy your stay.

Ehh... I'm not new to the site, but I wasn't a regular on the old board.

we didnt say u were new but we were being polite and uh WELCOMING YOU!

I recognize you now! You're the guy who did that Shredder picture, the one that won First place for best full color, right?

who me?

No, Raijin Z!

m(_)m

Thanks. I had done another Shredder pic back in about 1999, but I chromed his armor, and he had a slightly different pose... AND I INKED THE PIC. No sloppy-looking pencil lines, oh no! Anyway, the old Shredder pic and a lot more of my better art vanished when my hard drive died. -_-;;

thats gotta suck

hmm will u be willin to send me the shredder pic?

Bummer. I checked out the art on your site and it's all really good. I couldn't do decent CG if my life depended on it.

Mike: Send it to you? The alternate version (Technodrome BG from the arcade game) is on my site, conveniently accessible via my nifty G.I. Joe-esque banner.

Kali: All it takes is practice. I've been CGing since 1995. I started with Paintbrush (Windows 3 Paint), and moved to Paintshop Pro 3 Trial version (for Windows 3). I drew Sakura from Street Fighter Alpha 2 with the mouse and colored her, but I only had a 16 color display! 640x480 on an ELEVEN inch monitor! AGH! Can you say nast pixellation? Anyway, I bought Paintshop Pro 7 a year or so ago, and it's been smooth sailing ever since. Anyway, all it takes is practice. There are a million and a half CG tutorials online. I made a couple, and I can point you toward some that I've found helpful.

Thanks, but I think I'll stick with my pencils and paints for now.

sweet i want to learn how to do the CGI it looks so kewl! and all you use is paintbrush pro 7?

Yeah. I use Adobe Streamline on some of my inked pics, but it's not always helpful.

what program would u recommend we use?

*rolls out the red carpet for RaijinZ*

Hello and welcome to the Technodrome's lovely forum! While enjoying your stay, please feel free to use our various facilities: hot tub, cave, beach, pyramids, etc.

Oh, and congrats on winning in the fanart contest! Major props to you, dude!

Hey azure, we forgot to tell him of the pizza buffet.

*quickly looks around*
Pizza buffet?! Where? Where?
*dashes around like a mad-turtle*

Hi everybody.The roads were bad today going down to Sioux Falls from Watertown. There was this hot mama as a libraian that was starin at me and I got off the computer.

*trips over the red carpet as azure rolled it out*

HEY IM WALKIN HERE!

Well, I recommend Paintshop Pro, personally. It's easy to use, efficient, and most importantly, it's not expensive. $100 new compared to Photoshop's $650. If you already uze Photoshop, the interfaces aren't TOO different. Thanks for the welcome, peeps.

I could send you a shredder pic if you want.

sweet send it to me!

I just checked out your site, Raijin Z. I gotta say, it kicks major shell! I really like your artwork. You're talented, dude. And hey, I'm a big Mega Man fan! I'm assuming that you are too, based on your artwork. I think that the robot masters never get enough credit. Thanks for sharing!

m(_)m

I was just on a Megaman kick. I try to draw characters that don't get drawn much. I'm thinking about Pharoah Man and Samus Aran right now, but I don't draw very often. I REALLY need to draw my original characters, because I'm starting to forget what they look like. ;_;
