Galdor · #1 07-12-2004, 02:57 AM

I just made this. It's a golden ring =]
((... lmao.. take a few steps back from the screen and it will look good =P))

VeX_RaT_Boy · #2 07-12-2004, 03:00 AM

Did you pixel that? :O

xxCloudxx · #3 07-12-2004, 03:01 AM

In a not ms paint program..! It's good, like everything else you make.

When I say Pixel, I mean not 3D Rendered in some program like 3DMax, Bryce or AutoDesk Inventor...

But it's nice.

teshy2 · #6 07-12-2004, 03:11 AM

Galdor doesn't use 3D software for his pics (insider information) ;D

xxCloudxx · #7 07-12-2004, 03:12 AM

Well it doesn't exactly look "3D" so why did u ask if he pixeled it? It's not really hard to see ;O

Monkeyboy_McGee · #8 07-12-2004, 03:53 AM

That is amazing, galdor. You really are a whizz with that painter program. Do you paint irl with like real paint and stuff? If so you should try and scan in / take photos of some of your work, i'd love to see it!

Lol i took steps back and it looks worse than up close, i like it when it's up close; it looks as if it's got water on it, and so its a bit distorted, but glistening, and stuff.

Nitkizi · #9 07-12-2004, 03:55 AM

I like the sparkles in it...MY PRECIOUS..

Oh no! It's some sort of evil ring that's turned him mad! Quickly guys, throw it into that conveniently placed active volcano before we get invaded by short guys with hairy feet and shiny eyes!

Mykel · #11 07-12-2004, 05:03 AM

Dude...
I'm not ***...
But if I was...I would want you to have my babies.

(Don't take that the wrong way.

Galdor · #12 07-12-2004, 05:08 AM

mini ring =P

Mykel · #13 07-12-2004, 05:13 AM

Don't get me wrong, that is a million-bizzzzillion times better then anything I could make, but I found something I didn't like.

On the upper lip of the ring, just below the chain...it looks weird and doesn't match.

Galdor · #14 07-12-2004, 05:14 AM

mmk.. i'll fix that later

Galdor · #16 07-12-2004, 07:25 PM

Making a new ring =]
i will add some cool text on the ring later when im done with the coloring.

Zero Hour · #17 07-12-2004, 08:09 PM

Funky .

Mykel · #18 07-12-2004, 08:13 PM

I like the old one better. But still a good job...

Galdor · #19 07-12-2004, 08:36 PM

i hope you will like it better when im done.

Silver Knight · #20 07-12-2004, 09:56 PM

The Galdor strikes again with yet another fine piece of art.
The first one is amazing, the coloring on it is great, I really like the use of light and shadow on the various parts.

As for the second one, hurry up and finish!

Galdor · #21 07-13-2004, 02:24 AM

i dont like the style of the coloring so much =/
i hope the final version will be good.

Mykel · #22 07-13-2004, 02:46 AM

Preeeeetty.

*touches*

Monkeyboy_McGee · #23 07-13-2004, 06:29 AM

It is amazing, even in its unfinished stage. The front has that feel of rough bronze/brass to it...or something like that, gah, i can't explain.

You mean a smith-like hammered out texture?

Nitkizi · #25 07-13-2004, 07:58 AM

That blacksmith must've used a REALLY tiny hammer to hammer that ring into shape o.o

Nah most likely, when a ring is made what they do is take a peice of thick wire and wrap it around a coil. Then they hammer the wire flat on the coil so its round and flat and they probably smooth out the edges with a fial like tool. Then they weld the two ends of the ring togeather.

o.O was donald a ringsmith in a previous life?

teshy2 · #28 07-13-2004, 10:14 PM

They do? I thought they used molds and poured the heated metal into it.. sort of like with those military figures. Fascinating still.

Nitkizi · #29 07-14-2004, 02:03 AM

Yeah, I thought they used molds too.

osrs · #30 07-14-2004, 02:22 AM

Amazing! Very leet.

Galdor · #31 09-22-2004, 10:41 PM

made another ring

(drawn with free-hand. so it looks kinda deformed

)

Zero Hour · #32 09-22-2004, 10:55 PM

Nice, Galdor.

Skyerus · #33 09-23-2004, 12:48 AM

I like how you did the reflection.

Curt1zzle · #34 09-23-2004, 04:59 AM

Very very nice , Galdor. The reflection really adds to the quality, as Sky said.

alarid0 · #35 09-23-2004, 05:05 AM

My brother used a mold when he made his ring....

er...

anyway...

WOW This is an old thread? who revived it o_o

Why does it matter what you like about it? Quit trying to tell the man his art is wrong, it his, not yours.

Who cares? Obviously someone desperately looking for something to post about.

Galdor · #38 09-23-2004, 01:30 PM

wtfh?! i had made a ring and i didnt want to make a new thread so i used my old "golden ring" thread (found it in page 5.. so it wasnt that old =P)

Dach · #39 09-23-2004, 03:37 PM

Kinda looks like it has a lip..
That's awesome though, if you glance at it or see it from a slight distance it looks like a real picture.

yeah, there is this nice little feature that VB has, if you look at the upper left of a post, you can see the date which it was posted

You're quite quick to alienate people.
The thread, if you compare the post dates, was revived by Galdor himself to post his newest ring.

It's nice, Galdor. I like the way the grain of the wood overlaps the reflection, but you have yet to see my skills... (;
