OK, the new approved pics are out!

Third time's the charm!

I think I got the white rim out of this one:

Rottweiler. Kind of boring I think.

These pics are approved for public use, and this time I have used the Gimp program, thanks to a very helpful player. Wink

So please enjoy them, and tell me what you think. PS. IF I sold these I can change the background, font, username, ect. to the buyers choice. IF I sold them.
OK, got the manips, now time for the hand-drawn doggy pics! Done with PAINT.
Here's a Shepherd:

The multi version:

Greyhound. I think the muzzle is a bit off.

Northern Inuit Dog!

Multi version:

A husky head-shot:

Sheltie!!

Multi version:

Another Shetland Sheepdog:

This one was all Paint exept for the blending, that was GIMP. Does the pic look better blended?

Swift Fox:

Ferret time! Not my best work, but it's ok.

OK, that's it. Remember, the manips are GIMP and these hand-drawn ones are Paint.

They're good! Especially if you only have paint. The cutting out's an issue but they're well laid out.

Yes, all I have is that paint thing that comes on your computer. I have to cut the pics by hand and it takes forever and doesn't turn out exactly how you want it. But I'm rather happy with them and I'm glad to hear your opinion!

The're quite nice for only having paint. Very Happy

you can download gimp for free here http://www.download.com/The-GIMP/3000-2192_4-10635470.html?tag=lst-0-1 ist much better than paint.
Are your images you used copyright free?

The images were gotten of the internet. I can use them, right? I did a google search for arabians and switched the mode to pictures only. Then I copied some. And thanks for the Gimp link! I'll definately use it!

no, that does not make them free to use, not to mention legal. Most pics on the net you need permisison to use I think, otherwise it is stealing or such. Not sure on the legal terms but yea, there are sites around, with pics for you to use for free, but just googling pics doesn't cut it.

Oh. OK. Does that mean I have to trash the ones I currently have? I can say that these are not my photos, plus I'm not selling them. I am simply showing them to people. I worked hard on these!

But I'm not using them.... I'm just showing them to people. My mom says that as long as I don't say they are my own and don't sell them or use them in any form to get money, I'm fine.

Alrighty, the old pics are gone and the new ones are back in business! The pics I used were open to the public, not copyright. Enjoy the new ones!

Are you displaying them for critique? I'm a little confused. Or is this a comission stand?

they look alright but you should cut them out better

I really like the old blue one, except the white border around the dog. Clap of thunder looks very nicely done Smile

*offers Fire a thin-mint* GIMP sure does make a difference Very Happy

I especially like the Clap of Thunder one. Could I get one to use on VHR, or are they just for SBF?

These are just for critique and suggestions. I hate the white around the dogs too, but I can't really get rid of it. I'll try some more I guess!
