AS3 or AS2?

Doesn't matter as long as you're not coding.
I think Nae uses AS2 though

Cupcakes are so cute!

This should be in the art section!

Anywho, there's no category for collabs? Well then, just go "other"

more tutorials of high quality

For this

It's hard to tell the aliens apart; There's no colour contrast. Try adjusting the colours slightly for them, or perhaps add a slightly thicker line marking the edge of the alien body parts.

Otherwise great!

This, with delicious signage

Save for web & Devices
Set the dithering option to something other than pattern
set colour selection to adaptive or something
check filesize
if large filesize, turn the # of colours down
if just slightly too large filesize, turn up the noise slider

Some portal.
There's four slots on the top there, only one of which as an orb.

Well, my computer can't handle it ...

anyway you only have to draw a textue, the use of blender if you want to check how your texture is going on

Yeah, I know, but I'd like to test the texture frequently to check if everything works. Aw well, I suppose I can manage without ...

anticipate it

Actually, I'll send you the font when I'm done with the numerals sometime ...

Excuse the delay

Anywho, here's some material testing/experimenting, nevermind the strange shape thing, that's just to get something other than a simple sphere going.

Well, what I did was to do a whole bunch of photoshop tutorials on photo manipulations. I learnt a whole lot of how the photoshop interface works, as well as a bunch of helpful tricks.
You can find heaps of tutorials here.
Try learning the basic shortcuts, as well as getting a good overview of how the program behaves.

I also spent heaps of time just experimenting. I'd take a random image of the internet and see how it would behave when I applied different image adjustments like colour balance and gradient map, as well as different blending modes.

I've also learnt heaps from the art community here. All from small shortcuts to handy tips and tricks and good-looking effects that can be applied and played-around with.

If you want tutorials that directly applies to drawing, you can check out this, and these

I would join this, but my computer crashes instantly when I try to launch Blender :(

I don't really like signing things, so something small will have to do

Lucky you, I've tried for a time to do that, but I never really realize I'm dreaming till I wake up.

From what I've read, the best way is to start out changing small things and then gradually do bigger stuff. The brain will still try to apply sense in a way, like gravity and the fact that you cant lift things without touching them. I don't really know though, as I haven't reached lucidity at all :(

On the note of dreams, anyone heard of lucid dreaming. It's basically a single player Inception type sort of game, only it's real.

It's really all about finding out you're dreaming whilst in the dream. When you've done that, you can control practically everything from laws of physics to the colour of the rocks.

I agree with Vonschlippe, but if you really don't feel like colouring, I suggest putting your work up for colouring over at the art collaboration thread.
