I don't use PhotoShop. I use Paint Shop Pro too. I have version 7, which I am so accustomed to that I don't even want to update it, even though I have setup for version 10 available.

It just feels more intuitive to me. I don't think after all these years I could get used to Photoshop, so I'm like you.

I used 7 all the way up until 2 years ago, then I bought 9 and then X2. While I like X2, I miss Jasc. When Corel takes over anything, the price multiplies by 5 and improvements are few and far between. X2 is nice, though. It has a lot of nice features. I just got standard, though.

Thank you both so much!! I am happy you like them!!

ITL, you should see my work when i first started....actually... I would prefur if you didn't... HAHAHAHA

I have worked in PS for almost.......10 years now... and I still think half of my work is crap.... it just take time to get use to it, and practice, practice, practice.

Is Photoshop easy to use? I use Paint Shop Pro X2 and from what I hear, Photoshop has a lot more tools. I'm too cheap to buy it, but I was just curious.

By the way, don't be modest. You do an excellent job. With your permission, I'd like to save a couple of these as wallpapers, but only if you're okay with it first.

Oh, and don't let ITL fool you either. If you need a spectacular space vista for a message board, a gorgeous mesh of science and fantasy, that is the person for the job, too!

Umm, it's fairly easy to use once you know your basics about PS. I am actually still learning PS too. It seems like when ever I get use to it, they bring out a new version. I have CS 3 right now, and I won't get CS 4 I don't think.. i am still trying to wrap my brain around the last one.. haha

I also have PSP, 6 i think... I haven't use it in awhile, but there are so nice tutorials and stuff out for PSP so it's nice to take a break from PS and go play with the new kid on the block. lol

ANd J, you're more then welcome to take any of my work. If you go to my site, there is a crapload of wallpapers and stuff there too if you want to take a look

But yes, you don't need any permission from me, I love the fact (and honored) that you like my work enough to use it.. hahaha :P

And something I did earlier this year.. thought it came out kinda cute ^^

Belana, you're doing fantastic work! I really like those "down to Earth" scenarios with Star Trek crew.

That one of Kim and Seven is spectacular. The only thing is... you need to give Harry a Star Trek sideburn.

This one is oldie (I made this months ago) and it is called "Shut Up I'm Driving". I am not very pleased with Beverly in this one, but oh well.

The original pic had this comic-like feeling in it so therefore the bright colors, etc. {snip}

Tachyon, that's great work! I really like the concept and the facial expressions are perfect for it. As for Beverly, I think she needs a little more neck and Picard a little less of it. Otherwise, I think it's splendid.

Really funny stuff. Now you just need one where you've got both Cliff and Norm, and put Morn in Norm's clothes.

But he's on the wrong side of the bar!

I found a good resolution image where I could change up a few things, so here's Quark Claven and Morn Peterson. I hope you like it.

Tachyon · May 5 2009, 03:56 AM

ZOMG! Morn one is absolutely great!

Ziz · May 5 2009, 03:57 AM

All: "MORN!"
Rom (behind bar): "What have you been up to, Morn?"
Morn: "..."

All laugh.

Thank you.

Quark was harder, because there were no images of him at the angle I needed, so I had to adjust where necessary, and had to create flesh where none existed. He sits a little too high and over to the left. So I'm not completely satisfied with him, but I still love the picture overall regardless. It's all in good fun anyway.

Edit:

I did a very minor update, but I think it looks a little better:

I also replaced the original above with this one.

Now all you need is "Saavik Howe" behind the bar and you'll have the set.

I wouldn't even know where to begin on that one. I'd probably just slide her into one of the previous images somewhere.
