My first pattern. It's Naked and Angry!

I've been experimenting with making patterns, and here's what i've come up with- i'm pretty pleased with it for my first attempt.
I've subbed it to Naked and Angry so, if you'd like, go over and vote!

I got some there too.. naked and angry page sorry about this piggy back.. : )

WanderingBert on Nov 28 '07 at 1:23pm

Thanks! all :)

Mezo-
I basically drew a block of critters, scanned them, then in Photoshop I cut the edge of one side to get a nice straight edge and pasted it to the other side, keeping it exactly in line, and deleting the unwanted overlapping areas. Then did the same with the top and bottom.

Does that make sense? It was my first little experiment and worked much better than i'd expected!

nice job, looks pretty great!

mezo on Nov 28 '07 at 1:31pm

Oooh, bert. Have you ever tried using the Offset filter (under Other)?

To make a good seamless pattern, I made an action that copies the original art 8 times, then I use Filter - Other - Offset (set to transparent), and then can overlap or space out the layout as much as I want.

WanderingBert on Nov 28 '07 at 1:38pm

ooh! That does sound exciting. Ima have to try that when I get home. Thanks Mezo!

WanderingBert on Nov 28 '07 at 2:00pm

Give it a go Tora! It ended up being heaps easier than i'd first thought.

Torakamikaze on Nov 28 '07 at 2:03pm

but what if I think I made some awesome pattern and then Naked&Angry is all like "You winzors! Give us yo pattern file!" and Im all like "Sweet! Here you go!" and then they're all like "What the fuck is this shit?" and im all like "It's my pattern" and theyre all like "You dolt... that's not how you do it at all! Now pay us for the incovenience!"

CharlesFesta on Nov 28 '07 at 2:06pm
