Hello /w/, perhaps you can help me out? I've this picture I'm interested in seeing made into a wallpaper but lack the talent necessary to do so. It's Final Fantasy XII related, featuring both Ashe and Penelo. The style of the artwork is incredible, I tried to see if a wallpaper already existed on the original artist's site but it appears the artist doesn't even have the original image in their gallery let alone anywhere on the site. I'm actually a bit curious where it comes from but my own investigation of the site and various other searches turned up nothing. Nonetheless, I think the image would make a fantastic wallpaper or poster even, though it could use a few alterations.

Anyone interested in trying their hand at it? Try and see if you can come up with something in popular resolutions if possible, though I personally use a 1440 x 900 resolution. The smoke effect they had going is actually nice, but the text is rather annoying and out of place. Anyways, thanks for your time.

Take it to /wg/. Other video games don't belong here, I don't see why Final Fantasy should be any different.

20 minutes in Photoshop. It's a start...I wouldn't even think about messing with the colors, though. I'd fuck it up 8 ways to Sunday.

It definitely is a start. Thank you, Pikamitsu.

I apologize for posting this in the wrong board by the way. If it had been some screenshot from the actual game I wouldn't have bothered. However, I felt that because of the picture's anime-style it belonged here. Go figure, eh?

It's the non-posting wallpaper nazis that are responsible for my lack of video game ass on my HD.

It's Japanese, it's animated, and the woman's half naked. Close enough for me.

Did someone say something about Japan, animated, and half naked?

Would be awesome if it didn't look like she is about to go Exorcist on you.

I don't suppose there is a chance to add some kind of color or background or effect to the others? They are kind of bland just being plain white.

And if you don't mind my asking, how in the hell did you remove them from the original picture so perfectly? I know you didn't just erase ... or did you?

in gimp there's a "path" tool, you can draw a path by clicking on points on the pic and than transform it to a selection -> you can copy pasta the parts of the pic without the bg... i'm sure such a thing exists in photosh00p! :D

Yep, it's the magic wand tool. Click parts you want to get rid of, press delete, boom. Gone.

Thanks for the information, I did some experimentation on my own and using the magic wand and the eraser I was able to pretty much clean up the image like you did earlier. Very cool.

Now, if I could be indulged yet again ... I wanted to incorporate a background for the image to fall onto. How would I do that? I suspect it would involve using transparency but I have no idea where to begin or if I'm even right.

I've fooled around with the obvious but it doesn't seem to work like I figured it would. Using the magic wand to try and select just the characters seems impossible as well. The degrees of shading and variety of colors only allows you to select bits and pieces.

Oh yeah, I'm using Adobe Photoshop.

To sum it up, clean up an image until it's all white like>>178461. Then, magic wand all of the white areas. Here's the tricky part. In Photoshop, go to help: export transparent image. Select "i have selected the area to be transparent", then 24 bit color, and png. save it. Now open your background file in another window in Photoshop. Highlight all of the checkered areas in your transparent image, then right-click and select "select inverse" Then go to edit: copy. Then bring up your background and go to edit: paste. Use the move tool to move the person around and bingo, you have what I just posted.

Thank you for all of the help. I did some more tinkering and came up with this. It's hardly original and a completely amateurish attempt! But I did it following those instructions nonetheless.

I noticed that when I use that magic wand it seems to dig deeper into the outline of the image, sometimes it even cuts part out at some point. Is there any way to avoid or counter this? Or do you have to redraw the lines somehow?

i dunno about photoshop, but i use a program called paint.net and you can set the tolerance % for the magic wand. If its selecting too much of the image then reduce the tolerence.
