Wow. Your method of doing hair is nothing at all like mine. I've never even thought about custom brushes. I do small tweeks at the end with the Dodge/Burn but other than that, two completely different ways. (and I enjoy doing hair)

[cmdrkoenig67]

Oooh...I'll have to try that Murs, thanks for the Tut.

Today on FRP2:

• Skinning hair w/ Murs47

Go watch, please. Also, if you wouldn't mind, leave a comment somewhere. Let us know your thoughts. Feedback is one of the only ways to know what you want more, less, or none of. Yes, your responses actually do play a part in what FRP keeps around. Don't abuse that power! :O

As requested, I wanted to leave a response: I love your site, all of the various things you've got on it, including the interviews! I'm also watching the videos -- PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't stop those, if possible, because I have always wanted to try to skin, but I freely admit that not all of the terminology is easy for me. So watching someone do it, then having it as a reference, is invaluable. I seriously hope you and Murs keep posting them!

Very good tutorial Murs. Very different technique than I've been using, I'll have to try it out one day.

The way you and I do hair is similar, but not the same. This is informative becasue I can see a couple of way to improve the way I do hair.

A day you learn something is a GOOD day.

Note to Area 34: Custom  brushes are often easy and save a lot of time. I use a similar one to do Kirby Dots.

That's if one used Photoshop, if you use Painter I'd suggest using the Camelhair brush set at varying opacity for hair...it comes out really great looking.  But that's just me.....heh.

My method has always been layering of simple airbrush streaks. Granted it's limiting but with my wacom I can control the size/shape with pressure I put on the stylus. The way I've been doing hair is I make a dark color rectangle, chop it to the hairline shape. I then make a new layer and airbrush strands using a mid range color. I smudge tool things sometimes to soften or blend the strands and I then do another layer that has my highs and with that I add bright spots in the hair and then smudge again so they blend. After I shape everything I go back to my dark layer and either burn tool or manually add dark shadows. I try not to use dodge/burn a lot with my stuff. I prefer to paint it myself. I think with guys like my Escapist or Crimson that they came out really well but my hair looks no where as realistic as Murs.

Not a Thor fan, but the fx does look cool, and will be nice addition to my avengers in the rumble room. And JJ, these look great, I can't wait to grab them.

Wondering why FRP is not updating as frequently as it used to?

• On the Lack of Updates

But make sure to check out:

• Using m25 AI in mods for you campaign modders out there (all 2 of you)
• And my short 4-page script from 2 weeks ago: The Prince's Tale

And... we're out! Comments welcomed and appreciated.

[Previsionary]

Today:

• Songs that remind you of comics?

I urge you all to share. Yes, I'm vaguely asking you to comment and participate. Gyawl.

Currently on FRP:

• 5 new skins/skopes by John Jr.

[murs47]

Don't forget you added automated bots that reply to all topics. I think you need to fix their AI. One of them wrote "Excellent writing." for my video tutorial.
