Mister Phes Posted April 30, 2005 I feel the need to share with you all my wonderful creation that I modified to use as my avatar. It was 400DPI so its been resized and looks a little bit off. But you get the idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolf04 Posted April 30, 2005 Awesome job! One thing though. Wouldn't it make more sense to say LEGO Pirates instead of Pirates LEGO? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted April 30, 2005 It didn't seem to make a difference. People know what it means, or perhaps too stupid to know any different. I suppose I could experiment a bit and move the words about but I'm too frazzled to be bothered at the moment. One day... You didn't say something nice then did you Mr Wolf?

WesternOutlaw Posted April 30, 2005 Excellent poster Phes. What program do you use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted April 30, 2005 The images came from eBay auctions, the background was designed in Bryce and the rest was designed and put together in Fireworks. I like it a lot better than Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, Corel Draw, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Middleman Posted April 30, 2005 I use Fireworks as well. A FELLOW USER! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted April 30, 2005 Yes Fireworks is brilliant with its "Live Effects" system the way you don't need to convert vector objects into raster images before you can apply filters to them. And if you don't like the filter you can go back and adjust it, whearas in the other programs you've got to undo the filter and reapply it. Which can be tedious getting it just right.

Mister Phes Posted April 30, 2005 Absolutely! "You certainly don't muck around when it comes to doing these updates" were comments by one of my clients for the promptness of my work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WesternOutlaw Posted May 2, 2005 I've never heard of Fireworks. Appears to be an awesome program though. Is it hard to learn? I have Paint Shop Pro 8 and a few others, and I find most of these programs pretty difficult to learn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted May 2, 2005 Fireworks has a nice set of tutorials to get you started. I found it easy to learn myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norro Posted May 2, 2005 Fireworks has a nice set of tutorials to get you started. I found it easy to learn myself. It's because he's a pirate captain... The mate does it all while he sleeps... God Bless, Norro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Phes Posted May 3, 2005 Why thank you V()()D()()! However I'd already seen most of those because I get eBay to automatically Email the search results, and usually I do a manual search each day too. But thank you for your brilliant efforts.
