    Androo's Image Club

    face looks too flat; hair needs more detail; shirt looks strange, especially the collar; pants look like a muddy river. But I like the foreground hand...

    not really finished...but my layers are getting complicated.

    Fun Forum Activity #3

    I agree with Darkshadow...the original post should be 'Useless Topics'...while I understand the intent is to inspire creativity, it seems to me like Trip designs these for himself, then throws it out for others to post so it can be trashed.

    I Hate OS X

    keep in mind that to revert to OS 9.2 is only a temporary fix. Since so many apps and peripherals are designed for optimization under OSX, and some will not operate at all in OS 9, it behooves you to bite the proverbial bullet and move to OSX...especially now with Panther on the way. In my...

    Ibook LCD Dimensions

    I don't know if you wanna go this route, but when I cut my own overlays for my iBook, I just use two pieces ofclear Tessa packaging tape to adhere the overlay to the screen...it looks a little ghetto, but it holds.

    HELP!!!!!! ibook wont boot.

    I just had a very similar problem, check my post a few weeks ago, 'iBook Dead or Just Faking'... Maybe it's not the same thing as yours, but mine was a fried logic board which Apple fixed for free... Does the hard drive seem to be spinning but not getting anywhere? Mine was doing that, and...

    How do I speed up my Dual G4/867?

    I've got the same machine, which is running OS 10.2.8 with 1.5 gb of RAM...most of the time the speed is just fine, and I use it for gaming, music ripping, as well as high-end Photoshop and Painter. Most of this is 2D graphics specific, except for some occasional rendering... Since I also end...

    Someone stop me!!

    It depends on what you like to do with your machine to spend the money on that monitor...you could buy a few 19" LaCies for that price...but I'm biased, as I work in retouching/color, where LCDs have yet to match LCDs for accuracy...

    Lighting

    Well, it looks strange for a couple of reasons. First of all, your perspective is off a bit; the figure in the foreground should be a bit larger. Second, as the sun is overhead, you should not have that shadow cast right and forward away from the figure. Third, the focus doesn't match in terms...

    Remembering 9/11

    What's to enjoy? Your quote is stolen from MLKjr's fight for civil rights, the image looks like it's lifted from the Marines fighting to hold the beach at Iwo Jima in WWII, and your post says the message is about 9/11...wtf? Can your message possibly be more mixed and garbled? Different issues...

    Drawing People in Photoshop

    Lots of well-meaning folks here...the rub is that learning how to draw from scratch for one specific task is a tall order. And as a 'reformed' painter and illustrator, I'd say it's a lot easier to draw traditionally than digitally. Digital drawing gives you many options and malleability, but...

    iBook dead or just faking?

    To any of you who posted suggestions and yearn for a sense of closure, I apologize for my tardy response as I was away on business sans my trusted iBook: I finally took my unwell iBook into my local Apple Store, where the fellows at the Genius Bar tried to get a good description of the...

    iBook dead or just faking?

    Yeah, I've actually seen this warning screen on my iBook, but it doesn't go there right now. I'm running OS 10.2.6. Nothing happens with Cmd+S; in fact, I can't get it to boot at all for the past 3 days. I was on the phone with Apple, and they were not exactly helpful. Cheerful, though. In my...

    iBook dead or just faking?

    I was able to get into open firmware and reset-nvram and reset-all, which allowed a clean reboot. I found the Hardware test disk, which detected no problems. It ran fine for most of yesterday, but then evinced what seems to be the symptoms of kernel panic...sudden horizontal lines on the screen...

    Ethernet/Appletalk quandry

    thanks, delta. I got through, but it wasn't pretty. For some reason, I could only log in as a guest. They're my passwords, I use them all the time, but nothing would work. They're the same username and password for both machines; could that be the problem? I was forced to use the one-way 'Drop...

    Ethernet/Appletalk quandry

    I've got to write this one down this time, as I've done it before but can't remember: I need to link my tentatively functioning iBook to my G4 via Ethernet cables through Appletalk. Yeah, I tried booting the iBook in FW Target mode to no avail. What should the network settings be at for both...

    Adding a second internal hard drive

    I've had an extra drive sitting around(I believe it's a 40GB Maxtor ATA) that I attempted to install in my G4 Dual 867 Mirror about a week ago...I set it up as a slave, mounted it in the bracket(Apple had left me a few extra screws), but I couln't get my pudgy fingers to attach the...

    iBook dead or just faking?

    can i jump into the firmware after the machine has booted and it's running? After repeated attempts, I got my Mac running, was able to link to another Mac via ethernet to backup data/apps, and am cleaning it up. I'm a bit worried that if I shut 'er down again, she won't come back up again...and...

    iBook dead or just faking?

    I've had my iBook 800Mhz with a combo drive for about 7 months. Initially, I had a bit of trouble starting up my iBook consistently(forced to power up by Power+Command and typing 'mac-boot'), but for about 5 months it ran like a workhorse for peripheral office and home use, as well as a great...
