Character Rollups

[Ramona]

Found another image I like and I’m goofing about with the iPad version of photoshop.

[Tiglath]

Oh that is very nice indeed!

[shaidar]

nice, I wish I had such skills with Photoshop.

here is a pic I found for Harper:

It’s not really that difficult, it’s all about layering and then because I’m not that good filtering all the layers so they look similar.

So for an 1889 game I never ran I put 3 images together and got this.

[shaidar]

well, it looks great to me

[Ramona]

So for your image say you wanted that charcter infront of a starship window looking over Jupiter.

So start with Jupiter, then a fleet of starships, then the wall and then the charcater.

The version I have allows you to lasso out or just autocut elements. This is where I suck, I cheat and fade them out so the crappy cut jubs don’t show. If I waa doing it on a real PC or a real art tablet it migth be different.

[shaidar]

Maybe I should give it a try, I've got GIMP, which does layering, I think.

[Ramona]

If you can find it image that you want her in front of, just posted here I don’t know what something together when I get back from my coffee run. I never got anywhere with my space 1889 game because I couldn’t get more than one person at a time who is interested in it sadly.

RedDead2 got me interested in 1889 again, the time is off by a decade but the detail in the world is so meticulous.

[shaidar]

thanks, I'll have a look around for a background later, when I'm on my laptop.

never played 1889, sounds like an interesting idea.

[Ramona]

How’s this?

1889 is fun, not many people know about it.

[Ramona]

I may have shrunk it to much...

[shaidar]

cool, thanks.



It's not a bad size.

You could do a larger one with the same background, perhaps rectangular with just the upper torso.

[shaidar]

been looking around, it's not easy finding a background pic of decent resolution.

[Ramona]

See above...

[shaidar]

That's cool, thanks!

I really appreciate you spending the time

[Ramona]

NP, learned a couple things, the corridor was grey scale, I was looking for something mechanical for the engineering background.

[shaidar]

if you fancy a challenge, i found a decent sized background, not sure it'll work well:

[Tiglath]

Ooooh, I like Space 1889 as a game!

I've run it before and have lots of the books ...

I'm a terrible luddite as to photos and the like but here's two pics that perhaps capture the essence of Foix

and Grimaud.

Okay, I got your corridor, feel free to delete it.

Photo’s are harder to work with than artwork, the lighting is more inconsistent as is the image quality.

I have all the old and new 1889, I just need players.
