Underwater Bass Feedin'

[Vabass22]

I'm thinking about getting my name on my cheek, that way I wouldn't have to introduce myself rofl, i I got it on the forehead, then my hair would cover it up.

[crankybait]

hell I want to get it done when i get into college. Its 3 symbols. Not for looks, just to remind me of my roots and my grandma... Then again,possibly an Om sign too.

[Vabass22]

I want to get a woodstock bird on my bicep, and on the other one, maybe a leaping bass

[ILfishinman]

those are wicked, i really like the hanya mask, btw is a geisha like a japanese hooker or sumthin?

[crankybait]

ROFL! no, not really... I had to read memoirs of a geisha for reading this year. They are basically like female nobility servants.

[ILfishinman]

oh ok, i thought they were hookers, im serious

[crankybait]

That's alright... on the back of the book it actually says "contrary to the beleif, geisha aren't hookers", well somethign along those lines

[JB]

the hanya(oni) is supposed to represent the "scorn of a woman"
and the geisha is a glorified man servant, if ya know what I mean!

[ILfishinman]

so they are hookers!! hehe

[JB]

well, they wear robes and start out by giving you a back rub, its up to you after that rofl

[ILfishinman]

haha lol we are gettin a bit off topic here lol. oh btw here is a sign i designed for my graphic arts class i want your opinoins on it.

[JB]

Nice..did ya use "curves" for the white / red design?

[ILfishinman]

uh actually i took the elipse tools and made a selection for the semi cercles and oi lined it up with the guides so it was all neat and stuff . and i made a new layer and colered the othe part left white.

btw it was done with photoshop

[JB]

simple but effective..theres so many ways to do artwork on photoshop and end up with the desired effect...I took online tutorials for a year plus had some help from a guy at work.

[ILfishinman]

yea thats how i learned, just doin a ton of online tuts and pretty much just tewachin my self messin around with it, im taking graphic arts to learn flash and learn summore stuff, plus an easy A lol im actually in graphic communications II cause i took Graphic comm I last year

[JB]

Its alot of trial and error, heres where I learned all the tricks of the trade, if you go through each tutorial, you'll learn..some of them took me a week or so to figure out

IL,you actually bought it?

[JB]

you can get photoshop on ebay for cheap

http://search.ebay.com/photoshop_W0QQfromZR40

[crankybait]

that isn't legal is it?

[JB]

if its sealed and from adobe, I guess ya get what ya pay for , legally..its illegal when someone makes a copy and sells it or lets others use it...each copy of photoshopCS2 has a serial number to enter on set up...of course there are cracks for all serial numbers if ya look on the net if ya get a used copy..

[crankybait]

there are other programs aren't there? i got inkscape for lure design, instead of correldraw

[Vabass22]

You use a program for lure design? Why, all you need is an imagination, and a band saw.

[ILfishinman]

um yea i "bought" it, if you wanna put it that way

not really... well, it's better like this. you get to design it perfectly, tune it the way you want, and make templates so you know what you are doing and it is perfect. I don't even have a band saw.

[Vabass22]

I just use a band saw and a dremel, I don't understand, unless your a corporation thats gonna make 1000000 blanks, why youd need to do that.
