Well, I was bored. So I watched Master Fisto's tutorial on adding lightsabers to a pic.  It's quite addicting once you get the hang of it. lol So here's my creations and what I've done so far. By all means, please give me pointers, tips, thoughts...i'll take them all gladly. *cheers*  The below pics are from my other character on myspace. [glow=red,2,300]Deinaira Fey[/glow]    p.s. I didn't at all draw that last pic. I'm not that good of an artist. HAHA! *cheers* |

These look really good. The one thing I noticed (and not a big deal) is that you might want to try "Masking" the blades to the saber hilts.
It's pretty easy, I'll explaing for those who don't know what that is.
Masking is making a copy of the original picture and putting on a layer on top of what is being masked. For these your duplicate goes on top of the saber. Then with that layer highlighted hit the mask button on the bottom of the layers window (looks like a square with a little circle in it), this should put a square block next the the thumbnail on that layer.
Now, with that block selected (if it's not just click on it, you must click on the block and not the picture because you can still manipulate the picture, but what you want to do is manipulate the mask). With the block selected paint black on it to reveal the saber and blend it with the original picture (which is the one on the bottom of your layers). Use white to cover the masking again if you do too much.
Doing this will make the blade look like it's coming from inside the saber hilt instead of on top of it. From there you can tweak it by using a large soft eraser brush and sweeping at the color behind the hilt so it doesn't look like it's just being covered up by putting something on top.

Other than the blades being a bit too blurry in some of the pictures, you're doing really good so far. Keep it up, I look forward to seeing more. ;D

...Bored again. So I went off to see if I can add a glow effect to the eyes, instead of for a lightsaber. I think it turned out pretty cool. (Ummm) [glow=blue,2,300]The Force[/glow]... ?  And next up, is what I believe most of the Sith here would love to see... A Sith version of Soul Ry'thm.  hope ya enjoy. |

That's really good. I like the saber glow effect in the eyes, makes it look better than just a color glow.

I like the light side version better. ;D Blue is my favorite color & always has been. The dark side version looks a little creepy.  |

I did these sabers for my other character (Deinaira) over at myspace. I'm very proud of myself.  And since my character uses two sabers.... Here's the completed work:  *victory dance* ;D |

They look great. Simple, yet elegant. Just the way I like it. |

Which tutorial did you use to make these lightsabers? I'm pretty sure she used Kit's tutorial, the background is black. I do believe that she left the lense flares as white, though. She also used an overlay layer on the hilts, to darken them. All this is a hypothesis, of course. |
