No problem. Just duplicate the layer your art is on. Use the Radial Blur filter, set to Zoom and to 100%. Then erase the center of that layer so that the blur is only on the edges. I also used the smudge tool a bit afterwards to smooth the rough edges out.
I love your Sagat/Adon BTW, especially how he’s blocking with one hand and reaching back for a punch with the other. Double body language like that is incredibly tough and you did it perfectly.
jettmanas: It’s all tablet.
two more;
like Muskau said, just add ?? to the end of the url if they don’t show up.
transformers
this is a trnasformers pic i drew, im currently working on color
its based on the optimus prime from
transformers energeon
tell me what you think!
cool stuff glass, i like 
i think they would look great colored i’ve been lazy lately and haven’t been drawing, plus a lot of work for school.
here’s my crappy website with my fanart check it out
And a Darun. Nobody ever draws Darun. He’s twice as great as Zangief ever was.
The white lines are the sketch guides. I still have to paint in the hand and fix the legs.
Whoa! Nice color on Darum- a charcter almost no one probably has drawn. Maybe the face couldv’e used a little tweaking.
That O. Prime is very- structured- machinelike! Did you use a drafting program?
Tablet is a consideration- $200 for a good one, right?
Maybe I’ll throw a darker line on the Dudley and Maki drawings.
I might be one of the few to have drawn nasty ol’ Chang.
Haven’t seen many Maki’s out there either.
I have a seperate post of wacky sketchbook art.
O.Prime
no i didnt use a drafting programe, but thx anyways, i used a ruler and a compas…and a few hours.
the coloring is coming out great, i want to make sure i get that metalic feel to it.
oh and BTW, its based on transformers energeon #19
Streetfighter doodles
Far out Vega-X thats MAD!!! Very very cool coloring skills.
Here’s some brain storming for the next Udon Comp. Done on the Bus Back from doing town missions. Good tips SFMC. And ZMan. I rushed my last entry I thought I had no time. How silly. I might do the multiple entry deal this time.
I hate drawing Guiles hair. I always have trouble with it. I don’t know why.
More posts from Everyone. ZenMaster your thread is almost has the most posts. Congrats.
I’ll post some more stuff on my thread too. (Being a thread slut and all) before I head thousands of miles away from my computer and off to dirty arty ground work as soon as Spring breaks in.
Keep posting more drafts. I can’t get enough of the rough as guts planning pics!!!
thanks a lot. i will try it out and tell you how it works out. very nice darun. you seem to know a lot more about ps than me and use the colors and effects very to your advantage. i also think darun is better fighter than gief. i love when he says “unanticipatable kick” --which is actually a throw btw.
hitshiro: nice site dude. add some color to your work since you’re good at it.
hoaxe: cool pic. its too bad no one draws transformers anymore.
cpt: thx for the congrats. i only started this forum, afterall. everyone who submitted work needs to be congratulated.
finally, this is a sketch using pen-etching. enjoy.
At the airport.
good at coloring??? me??? nahh i suck, i can’t really find time to color my stuff, i’ll probably make a day where i color everything that’s on my site, i need to learn more coloring techniques.
great sketch!!! zen, i love seeing other people’s life drawings, i suck at it, all my life drawing stuff still looks cartoony and non realistic
great stuff show more
oh yeah what are tablets? is it a program or markers???
ok, i ran into a couple of problems trying to do this. i got the duplication thing right as far as i know. but the radial blur does not produce “clean” results. my pic turned out to be very grainy and i saw that that was not the case in your balrog image. also, which smudge tool are you refering to? i know about the one in “liquify” under filter–cant seem to use that tool properly.
this is how i was told how to do it:
please specify exactly how to use it thanks.
OK, let me clarify that a bit:
Your art should all be on one layer. If it isn’t, Flatten the image.
Duplicate the entire picture. You should now have one file with two identical layers. Perform the rest of the steps on the top layer.
If your background is a single flat color, Use the Add Noise filter to get some grain.
Use the Radial Blur filter at Maximum strength. (make sure it’s on Zoom, not Spin)
You should now have a series of lines radiating out from the center. If they are not strong enough, use the Unsharp Mask filter with a small threshold and a medium radius. This will add more contrast between light and dark lines. The higher the threshold, the less grain you get.
If it’s still too grainy, use the Median filter to smooth it out.
Now set your top layer to 50% opacity so you can see the original image underneath. Erase everywhere you don’t want light lines. Put the opacity back to 100. Flatten the image.
Then just touch up. Use the Dodge tool to brighten the area around your figure. The Smudge tool is also known as the Finger, you can find it in your toolbar under the Blur tool. It’s used just for some manual smoothing.
…
If all that fails, you can send the file to me, and I’ll save you a PSD with all the steps in place.
xcellent stuff vega!!!
thank you for that extensive and informative explanation of the entire process. it clears up the confusion i had earlier. i dont have a spudge tool under blur in my ps but i found it elsewhere. and i changed the smudge tool’s opacity to get some pretty nifty results. thanks dude.
thanks again, this is a very basic pic i made using your technique.
Cool, you seem to have gotten the hang of it.
If you, or anyone else for that matter, wants to pick up some more unusual filter tricks, check out my website which has some new tutorials -

There’s a section called ‘Photoshoppery’ which contains the articles in question.
O.Prime
