Title: Any cheap (free) artists around here?
Post by: ghouck on August 07, 2008, 10:40:04 PM
My kid is working on something and we just can't seem to get it right, mainly because neither one of us has any artistic talent whatsoever. He's making some t-shirts, but needs an image. What we're looking for is a cartoon-type lone drawing of a donkey standing on it's hind legs, in a boxing stance, with boxing gloves on it's front hooves (Yes, this is a "Donkey Punch" reference). If someone could sketch something up I would appreciate it. Thanks, Greg.

I know that RC is pretty good at drawing.  You might ask him.

Okay, I drew one but the file size was too big and I don't know how to cut it down.  Don't worry though, I messed it up by coloring it in, like many of my drawings.

What file format are you saving it in?

When you save it, just lower the percentage to get a smaller file size.

How big is too big? (okay, smartass; I meant the file size :tongueout:)

Thanks everybody, I appreciate the help. I'm looking forward to seeing REAL art, , as opposed to my "get shown up by a third grader" level of talent. When I was a kid, I used to draw all the time and my parents told me it was good. I now believe they were being sarcastic. Thanks again everyone.

Patient7, hat's the filename of it, including the three letters AFTER the . ?
Can you open the file your produced on your computer, and if so, what program opens it?

Uh, yeah, I think we can safely say that regarding English too. (http://5g8.net/smileys/mockery-022.gif) (http://5g8.net)

As ghouk pointed out, there should be an extension on the file (e.g. thisfile.jpg, thisfile.png, thisfile.tiff, etc.).

What is the extension following the file name?



In other words, what comes after the period? (http://5g8.net/free_smiley_generator/links/509190001218304481.gif) (http://5g8.net/)

If you right click on it and choose 'properties' you can get more information...

...including the artist's name, address, and phone number.
