Um you didn't draw that yourself, you've just taken my grabpic from http://www.simpsoncrazy.com/wallpape...nning_1024.gif and cut out the background and made it all fuzzy and shitty.

The pictures posted in this thread people have made themselves by tracing a framegrab or other image themselves.
To you and Spider-Pig: see my tutorial at http://www.doheth.co.uk/codelair/design/grabpics to do it properly. If you can't get your hands on Paint Shop Pro, the method is pretty much the same for other programs, I hear Paint.NET is pretty good.

Wow, sorry to say but...WTF?

I have a tutorial on how t0 make grabs using Paint.NET, as that's the program I use, but it's on WBC which, of course, is still down right now...

Hi everyone,

I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this but if not please point me in the right direction ...

We've just launched a site which allows people to upload photos and add simpsons characters (amongst others) to the photos e.g. this photo.

We've got a fair bit of simpsons clipart on the site but if anyone can suggest more ideas I'd be very grateful. By the way some of the artwork which has been posted in this forum is very impressive :-)

Here is my first pic. Hope you guys like it.

**Solid Snake** · 01-21-2009, 02:48 AM

That is what you call a promo card, not a grabpic. You didnt draw that.

You might want to start a new thread about it in the Itchy & Scratchy Studios forum. From there you can post the pics from the site.

And a reminder to everyone, this forum is for fan-created art, not edited promos.

**franck** · 02-01-2009, 10:48 AM

2 of my favorite grabpics...

more of them at http://springfieldfiles.com/index.php?jump=grabpics

by the way, if anybody is still making grabpics, check out my "Frames" page, which consists of hand-selected framegrabs perfect for drawing grabpics!

good pic man.

**Disgruntled Goat** · 04-16-2009, 12:29 PM

mmm purple stuff

purple is a fruit

**czoom** · 07-19-2009, 02:50 PM

**grissom** · 07-19-2009, 04:18 PM

for future reference this is a thread for fan created grabpics like others posted above, not random pictures of simpsons related things.

**Solid Snake** · 07-19-2009, 09:50 PM

Well, I suppose I can post a preview of some future content.

The watermark wont be in the real thing BTW.

**dehodson** · 08-04-2009, 02:07 PM

My first grabpic. I used paint.net.

**Disgruntled Goat** · 08-04-2009, 04:14 PM

Heh. Not too bad. Are you using the "anti-alias" setting on the lines? They don't look very smooth.

**grissom** · 08-04-2009, 04:46 PM

pretty good for a first effort. scott's right though, anti-aliasing the lines is a must.

**dehodson** · 08-04-2009, 05:08 PM

I thought i was... next time I'll make sure I use anti-aliasing.

**Disgruntled Goat** · 08-05-2009, 02:11 AM

maybe thicker lines would help. do you draw it with the image enlarged? it's normally better to make the image really big (at least 1200px wide) and then shrink it down to ~500 at the end.

I draw mine with the image doubled, then shrink it down. Also I use the default line width. I dont know though, my homer doesn't look that great. In any case, thanks for the advice.

**dehodson** · 08-05-2009, 06:45 AM

Sorry for double post, here's my new one using Rich Uncle Skeleton's advice.

**ahiphippo** · 08-12-2009, 04:52 PM

Did This today

Awesome. What programs are you guys using to draw these pictures? Adobe Photoshop CS3?

**ukkid** · 09-02-2009, 11:00 AM

good pics

how do you do them stuff ?

**merzitar** · 09-02-2009, 11:55 AM

Ok, this is my first attempt and It didn't come out brilliantly but hey, I'll show it anyway:

EDIT

I thought I'd try another one and I think it came out better, but still not brilliant! lol

**Disgruntled Goat** · 09-02-2009, 09:49 PM

That last one looks like the framegrab was stretched. Not too bad otherwise, you just need to make the curves smoother and less jagged.

Thanks - hopefully the more I make, I'll get better lol. Also, it was the actually screenshot I used. I had ripped and transcoded TMOT for my .mp3 player and it did it in widescreen for some reason so it streched it. But I had that screenshot from it for some reason just sitting there so I thought I'd use it.

**Solid Snake** · 09-03-2009, 07:20 AM

Try to use MORE lines, the nose for example should not be constructed with only one line. I construct the noses in my grabs with two lines, and then curve them separately.

What program did you use to draw them? I can provide some pointers for Flash, I did even once record a video of me drawing if you use Flash.
