I'm working on a giraffe image right now. It's pretty much done except that the giraffe has a black strip on its neck. I tried painting over it myself in Paintshop Pro but my results were less than satisfactory. The reason I can't do this very well is that I use the computer with a stick held between my teeth due to no arm usage from a neuromuscular disease. My mouse pointer is controlled by the number pad giving me only eight cardinal directions, making painting difficult.

Would someone be willing to have me e-mail them a full size version of the head/neck section of my image and paint over the black strip? I also have two other images that need nostril glare fixed.

Thanks in advance.

How I use the computer.

The full image.

Jason, that is awesome and very humbling, to see that you can do graphics even with this condition. Wow.

I'll take a stab at it with Dogwaffle. Email me the fullsize image? (I assume the one you posted here is not the original size, or is it?)

The dark strip by-the-way is the shadow from the animal's left ear. You could - if available - render with soft shadows and reduced shadow intensity, that might help. What program did you use for this render?

Actually it's not a shadow. It's a tear in the texture.

IM me your e-mail address and I'll e-mail you the full-sized head/neck section. It's about a meg.

Thanks,

Jason

here's a quickie on the one you posted. I hope I did get this right, was it the ear's shadow indeed you wanted removed? or the dark shade along the left edge of the neck and body?

ah ok, looks like our posts crossed eachother :-)

I'll IM you

Jeez! And I thought I had medical problems.... Hats off to you, Jason. You must have patience of Jobe to work like that, and your work is far better than some of the stuff I've sen around here. Congratulations on that!

I can see the trouble you are having, but where did you get the Giraffe? If you bought it, I'd send it back. No way should it have a tear in the mesh....

Hi Jason... 

I believe the mark that was removed was a shadows...   but then I could be wrong....

yes it is the shadow of the ear. I was able to still see the skin's pattern in it, albeit very dark. If you have too much contrast or poor gamma setting on your screen it might appear all black but it is not black. The skin pattern is in there, consistent and where it should be. I don't think there's a defect in the texture.

well, here's a small version of my post work version. It's all yours Jason (check your email for the big one)

It appears it was a shadow, but it was way too dark. Here's the postworked version.

Thanks so much.

Wow, Jason ... really nice image.  Very realistic and the composition is supurb.

Jasoni like the image. Mate i am totally gob smacked after looking at the picture of you and how you do your artwork. here i am unable to use one arm/hand and getting frustrated, gee i can't imagine what you go through.

Also mate hope you don't mind but i showed your picture to some people on a game site that do nothing but constantly whinge/complain about not being able to do things cause they suffer with minor pains...it stopped their complaining very quickly :biggrin:

My wife Ehlana(on here) said to say hello and she can't wait to see the image when you have finished it..

Take care bud
