Would you like to join the Armory Team?

[LibertyChic]

OK!!

I think we are done adding members for a while. We'll let you all know when we need more.

Thanks for your participation everyone!
********************************************************



We currently have an opening or two. Please submit no more than two items for our consideration. MightyHalo, rgbivens and I will choose the winners, if any. The following criteria must be met for consideration:

1. Must have a post count of at least 500 posts
2. Must be a CF member for at least 3 months
3. Must be able to create transparent images that are 81x180 px
4. Must display ability to create good quality items (subjective)
5. Must display ability to work in a team setting (subjective)
6. Must be able to display knowledge of a graphics program of choice (PhotoShop, Paint Shop, ect...)

In addition, please understand that consistent absence from actively participating in the Team Effort will result in your release from the team.

Create your item/s to fit either the male or female dolls (some items may fit both). Please make sure they are transparent!! This is very important.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. We will choose up to three members to join us. We will make our decision either as soon as we have 3 candidates or Nov. 15...whichever comes first.

Thanks, and good luck!

[LibertyChic]

You may post them here. :)

Well here's my entry:

Name: Energy Shield
Description: Protect yourself completely with this invincible force field!
Category: Armor - Breastplates - Generic

(The left image has the correct transparency.)

Also I'm sure you've already seen the backgrounds I've submitted for request and the Shield? Oh and my program of choice is Paint Shop Pro.

[LibertyChic]

Thank you for the entry Chopinzee. Yes....I do recall the backgrounds you submitted. :)

[Chopinzee]

Hey again,

I made a change to the top item (the energy shield), the new one should work a little better. I hope this is okay with you. I won't make any more changes. :)

[LibertyChic]

*bump*

Any others interested in giving it a go?

[PureGrace]

i dont know how to make things transparent =o(

[2LivIsChrist]

how do you make them transparent, so they can fit the CF Characters? I mean i have great ideas, but i wouldn't know how to make them to fit the characters.

[randomchic93]

I would like to do it, as I love drawing and designing, but I am 12 and I do not have Photoshop. Can you use MS Paint? :P

A couple of team members have started out on Paint, but it's not the easiest to use for what we are doing.

Try using GIMP..it's a free download and it allows you to work in layers as well as make items with a transparent background.

[Chopinzee]

I thought GIMP was a Linux program

See my post, #16. The word GIMP is a link where you may download it. :)

I feel woefully ignorant on something like this, otherwise I would like to do it! I may just download GIMP and give a whack at it! I just wish I had more time online these days....:(

what does it mean when selecting a mirror in GIMP, and how do I know which mirror to use??

[ravenscape]

Mirror? What menu did you find this feature on?

[ravenscape]

Oh wait! You're talking about what mirror (server) to download GIMP from. Pick one that's geographically close to you. It will take less time to download.

[Chopinzee]

what does it mean when selecting a mirror in GIMP, and how do I know which mirror to use??
Are you talking about the download site? If so, "mirrors" are just an identical versions of the same site but in different locations. The purpose is to provide fast download speeds to everyone in the world. Just pick any one, because they are all the same file.

[Chopinzee]

LibertyChic - who said that quote about shooting stars? (just curious)

[Antoinette.Marie]

SO, how would you create something in gimp?

[The Princess Bride]

SO, how would you create something in gimp?
THAT is what I would like to know! Where is the instruction manual when you need it!??!

[Chopinzee]

I would click 'File' and select 'New'.

Then i would set the dimensions to 81 x 180 pixels.

Then i would set the color depth to 256 colors.

Then i would fill the background with a color you're not going to use in your image.

Then i would set the pallete transparency to that color.

Then i would draw the item.

Then i would click 'File' and select 'Save as', choose a directory, type a file name, and click 'OK'.

[Antoinette.Marie]

Yeah ... I don't think I could do something like that. IT seems so complicated.

[ravenscape]

Before you begin to draw something, first add a new layer under the layers menu. Otherwise you won't be able to separate the figure from the background.

[ravenscape]

I was totally confused when I started using GIMP. Take it easy and go slow!

[Antoinette.Marie]

I think I would need classes in GIMP to get to the level you and chopinzee are at, ravenscape. :)

[Chopinzee]

I think I would need classes in GIMP to get to the level you and chopinzee are at, ravenscape. :)
I don't use GIMP, I use paint shop, but i never took a class. I just kinda figured it out.

[ravenscape]

I think I would need classes in GIMP to get to the level you and chopinzee are at, ravenscape. :)

There are GIMP tutorials out there, and a GIMP help forum. I'll find the URL for you. I didn't take a class, and I promise you I was TOTALLY confused when I started. I had never done any sort of computer graphic art at all.

[ravenscape]

Ok...here's the official GIMP users site. http://gug.sunsite.dk/ (http://gug.sunsite.dk/)

There is a tutorial link at the top of the main page.

Hope this helps!

[Antoinette.Marie]

thanks, raven.

what do you mean by making stuff transparent? The only transparent I know is see-through and umm that willnt' realy work lol

do u mean like making 2 immages drawing over one immage and then taking the immage u drew over (the outline of the body) away?

[Rose D.]

do u mean like making 2 immages drawing over one immage and then taking the immage u drew over (the outline of the body) away?

That's part of it. The second part is making the area around the armory image be see-through so that when it's put on top of the doll you can see the doll still.

(What I do, FWIW, is to make the background around the image a color that's different than the rest of the image, then use gifworks.com to make that color transparent. :))

Actually, that comment is on topic. The armory doesn't contain "guns". The only exceptions I can think of are the Star Trek phaser, the Jaffa staff weapon, and the Super Soaker.

Nothing resembling a real bullet-firing gun will be added to the armory. This weapons ban is Erwin's idea, and as far as I know, only Erwin makes exceptions.

:D Yep - the closest thing to that that's in the armory is the garden hose.

[Chopinzee]

If you have one of those dual-tank super soakers, you can put ammonia in one tank and bleach in the other, and they will mix while being squirted at people's eyes.

[ravenscape]

[Chopinzee]

Just one possible reason why they might not allow super soakers into the armory along with guns, because it is possible to use them to hurt somebody. But swords, num-chucks, spears, phasers, and dynamite on the other hand...

During the summer I remember a request for it. It was pretty popular but then was mentioned that it would be considered a gun. That might be why. I'm still trying to figure out why I thought a Super Soaker had been added...:sorry:

[Chopinzee]

Well no super soaker, but I did find a cordless drill. This will be good for when I want to drill a hole in somebody's head. :)

Uh. Dude. Taking a quote from an American Serial Killer might be your queue to let it drop. :)Well no super soaker, but I did find a cordless drill. This will be good for when I want to drill a hole in somebody's head. :)

It was the captiony thingy you put next to it about Iraq that i thought was a bit iffy, not the gun itself.

The U.S. Army and Marines use M-16's. I figured it would be a popular item among the people on this forum currently stationed in Iraq.

Yes, that is what Jeffrey Dahmer used to do.

Anyway back on topic. That's a quote from an American serial killer?

[ravenscape]

The character space is 81x180 pixels. All the armor layers on top of the character's body. So, when we make the armor item, we use the same size canvas. Here's an example...

There's an easier way to do it. Add a layer after you copy the body into your image, and then draw your armor on the layer. Then you delete the lower layer(s), and the body is gone. It's a lot easier than erasing pixels. :clap:

Then, be sure and resize your layer to the canvas size if it's not 81x180 to start with, and your piece of armor is good to go! :thumbsup:

Cool work! :thumbsup: I noticed though that when you made the background transparent, it made the white part of the suit transparent as well. This can be easily fixed by making the background a color that isn't on the actual item (which is what I do.) :)

[GodsGirl]

LOL I thought it was like a neck peek hole thing. I had a shirt like that. :)

[ravenscape]

You can upload the picture from the advanced reply screen. There's a button that says "manage attachments". Using that, you can upload the pic from your computer and attach it to your post.

[GodsGirl]

What version of PSP are you using? You wouldn't think it matters but some of the versions are very different. :) Either way once I know which one, I can help ya out, I have all of em back to when it was on 5 1/4 floppy. (That one is just cause it was my first copy and I am geekly sentimental like that. )

Send them to me and MightyHalo via PM, if you like, since the OP asks for only two submissions. :)

Another thing you can do is set up a free web page (yahoo or angelfire, etc) and put the images there....then just post the link. That might be the easiest way, if there are a lot of them.

The files are too large to email. This is the site where I downloaded the windows executables for GIMP. http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html

I would like to withdraw my entry, as I will no longer have the time to contribute due to some other commitments I have recently made.

Even if I do not qualify for or am accepted into the Armory Team, may I still submit things that I make?

Here ya go. GIMP (http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html) though also download the GTK+ Runtime Environment and GIMP. Install GTK first and then GIMP. You need the GTK to run GIMP. Also, you might find it helpful to read this thread from the first page, alot of peole asked some great questions that were answered about using GIMP. :)

[ravenscape]

I replied to you, so it should go right back to your address. I wonder if the file size is slowing down delivery? I'll try sending from a gmail account and see if that goes any faster.

[ravenscape]

OK, sending via gmail I got a message that gmail wouldn't let me send an attachment with an executable in it. So that may be why sending it to your gmail account failed.

Maybe that's why you didn't receive the emails I sent. Gmail may be blocking the messages because they contain executables.

Not a bad idea, actually :D

[GodsGirl]

Actually, yes I did. I even read the pages I thought I might of missed because of quoting.

:) Sorry, my intention was to help.

I've never won anything (apart from a video card on a kind of lottery a few years ago ^_^), but when I saw this thread today, I've decided that I'll try to make an armor item... I've never done anything like this before :sorry:

Anyway, this is supposed to be a Sailor Moon outfit... lol! I made it using a male character as a base because I didn't have the female one...

(by the way, has anyone here heard of Saior Moon apart from me? :))

Name: Sailor Moon outfit
Description: Moon crystal power, make up! (<---this is a quote from Sailor Moon)
Category: Armor - Breastplates - Female - Tops/ Dresses
Cost: 1,000 Blessings

[LibertyChic]

I've heard of Sailor Moon! :)

By the way, I've noticed a mistake in the Sailor Moon outfit, I improved it a little and I made two other SM items... Usagi Tsukino (Sailor Moon)'s hair style and the Moon Scepter.

[Vaneeza Malkah]

Nope! That is plenty for us to work with. As soon as MH and I have a chance to discuss stuff, we can let you know :)
