You can make a very, very good living at art if you don't mind working in a studio. Artist salary in the videogame industry is ~60k. As lead artist for a project you can easily make triple digits.

'Art for art's sake' type artists do probably have a hard time making a living though. Plus it seems like a really political scene.

reserve transparency method

Kloxboy (Jan 24, 2007)

For this drawing I clicked the "reserve transparency" button on the "layer menu" to do the gradients. Each layer is a different color, like you would do solid coloring but each color on a separate layer. In addition, you can select individual pieces with the "magic wand" tool with the reserve transparency still on or use the "select rectangle or oval" tool to do your gradients. which is handy if your selected area was made with the anti-alias or blending, whereas using the magic wand around blended/anti-alias areas to do gradients would leave a line around the selected area, you don't want that. That was all very long winded, I hope you understood and I hope it helps. :D

I think I understand but I'm not sure I can do it... and I hate you 'cause this is just a 20 min. "no sweat" pic for you, it's awesome

davincipoppalag (Jan 24, 2007)

I don't..but I'm freaking stupid

Sweetcell (Jan 24, 2007)

Ok, I'm a dunce because I don't know where the reverse transparancy is. Actually I'm a dunce because I can't figure how to use masks for a picture. Tutorial on wiki Klox. Pwease?

Deino: lamentablemente asi es...pero siendo chileno era lo m�s probable, dicen que somos un pais de poetas........... a mi parecer somos un pais de surrealistas, de todas maneras se cierra un circulo y uno muy grande para Chile, gracias de nuevo.
