Description Wanted to make another stamp similar to yumi-honamaru yumi-honamaru.deviantart.com/a… And test my skills once more in Gimp.

It'll always be peculiar to me why people take pride into calling themselves a color, as if Black, White, etc. represents an ethnicity. I wish people would cogitate on how they label themselves in this world. I don't want to be called Black or White, I personally prefer human. This is how I feel of course, I don't force my viewpoints onto others.

Edit: Finally made some changes with the stamp edges since the striped border didn't turn out so well. A huge thank you to el-L-eN and her lovely tutorial that helped with the shine through the text!: el-l-en.deviantart.com/art/Shi… I wish the quality was better for the little banner there where it says human.

Update - March 10, 2014/11:20 p.m. - I am disabling the comments from my stamps and removing them from the groups I placed them in. I doubt many individuals care since I have only read ridiculous replies in the comment section. I am not surprised since I know many individuals will never understand my message the what I view them.

- Designed in Gimp
- Fonts used: Impacted Condensed, Leelawadee, Constantia Italic
-Template belongs to Basti93 basti93.deviantart.com/art/sta…
- If anyone is interested, here's my other stamps - ayame18.deviantart.com/gallery…

What about orange people? Do they count? I don't like orange people. Except for Oompa-loompas. So basically, I don't like people whose normal bed is a tanning bed.

Orange makes me think of aliens that aren't green.

Just making a realistic skin tone and removing the lineart to make the drawing a little more realistic is what I'm having trouble with right now.

el-L-eN In reply to ayame18 [2012-07-24 11:37:02 +0000 UTC]

Do you have your lineart on a seperate layer? If so, you can simply delete that layer or make it invisible
Realistic skintone can be achieved with various methods: first of, lay down your palette > select a light tone and work your way down to darker ones that can be used as shadow. Also always paint on several layersso you can set a shine or shadow layer to overlay/multiply/darken/reduce opacity etc. And last but not least use texture brushes as well as textures to give your skin that ultimate realistic look (always on seperate layers and try the layer modes and opacity settings) ^.^

Thank you! One more thing to ask for now, I just wonder if I'm the only one having trouble accessing things in my account at the moment. I can't see comments to deviations or click much in my messages.

o.o I was hanging out on dA all day long, but didn't have any of those problems. I did have issues like that before though, but after not logging in to my account for like a day or two, all was back to working as normal. Otherwise, try to log out and then back in again, close your browser and restart it or maybe even restart you pc That worked for me most of the times if the problems were caused on my end, if not, you can be sure it's dA and you might have to file a help ticket

I see. I tried logging in and out and restarting the browser, but it's still the same. I've noticed some things changed on their own to like my privacy settings. I sent a help ticket explaining everything when I noticed the changes last night, so I hope everything is solved soon.

I really hope for you! I had problems today too, got a "internal server error" when trying to go to my message center, it worked only by chance now

Not for me. Whenever I block that site Quantcast who tracks cookies, I can't use the site fully. I don't wanna disable it since I shouldn't have to. This all started 6 days ago.

oh noes! Maybe look up on google why the current version of your browser is no longer fully compatible with it?

ayame18 In reply to el-L-eN [2012-08-11 08:43:32 +0000 UTC]

It's not really the browser, the person who made the add-on said it's sometimes the site itself who changes their cookies/tracking. He told me to be patient while he updates his plugin to hopefully adapt to devinatArt's changes.
