Do you want to become an TG Artist? Good idea! Here is how to. TG Captions What pictures am I allowed to use? A lot of pictures on the internet are licensed. If pictures are licened, you need to watch out and look for the type of license and what it allowes you to do with it. BUT, for a license to become active, the picture needs a watermark/logo/... , so if there is nothing like that, you can use this picture for whatever you want. (same thing for copyright) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creative_Commons_licenses#Original_licenses Pic sources used by some artists: http://suicidegirls.com/ http://www.only-opaques.com/ http://www.labatidora.net/ http://lingeriemodels.searchella.com/ http://flickrbabes.com/ (already dead but pics still there) http://www.babepedia.com/ (big archive and list of babes) http://babes.coolios.net/ http://www.only-opaques.com/ http://www.definebabe.com/ http://www.themaidstore.com/ http://www.onlytease.com/ (pay) http://www.badgirlsblog.com/ http://www.only-secretaries.com/ http://www.kindgirls.com/ http://www.fastdates.com/ http://www.digitaldesire.com/ http://www.mastasia.com/ (giant boobs) http://www.captiveculture.com/ (pay) http://www.onlycarla.com/ (pay) http://www.onlymelanie.com/ (pay) Other pic search sites: http://www.sxx.com/ http://www.asktiava.com/ http://de.freeones.com/ (large babe archive) How to create the caption? Open the picture with "Paint"/"Photoshop"/"Gimp"<- my favourite Select the whole picture and copy (Ctrl+C) Create a new document/picture. - While doing this, edit the witdth or length of the new one. Paste the old picture (Ctrl+V). Edit the backgrould layer if you want. Choose the colour your text should appear in. Create a text layer (clicking the text-symbol) Start writing.- When finished- Save. (For creating the story look below) Create a new post on you blog. Use the blog-intern picture upload to add it to the post. Write something about it if you want. Add some taggs if you want. Post. Finish. Creating the story: Three ways to mention: 1st way: You think of a story, then search for matching pics. 2nd way: You have an idea about the (style) of your story and search for pics like eg. "shy"(looking woman) and create your story based on the pic and the objects and scene there OR create your own one of course. 3rd way: You have no idea what to write, search for some pics, get inspiered by a special one and write a story to the pic. There are more ways, as those are some common ones. To make your story less boring in reading and set a few highlights, you should support it with pictures. For the ways to create pictures, look into the TG Comic section. HINT: If you use firefox. This addon makes every url clickable. TG Comics There are many ways to create comics or comic like creations. Several ways of creating art: First way: TG Rendering Art In the TG Comics Forum (second), you can find some educated help. An alternative is to use software, that is not meant for rendering in first place. For example: Sims 2 (also good for creating whole movies) Hint: There is downloadable (cheat) concent, which allows to apply every possible pose at every time and place everyone everywhere at every time in Sims 2 and 3. Sims 3 (also good for creating whole movies) IMVU (same as sims but no cheat and buyable for credits) (There are several ways to get free credits.) Second Life (there are more) Place the characters in poses you need with the set you need, make a snapshot and then edit it with software like GIMP, Photoshop..... To finally morph pictures you can use morphing software like: Fantamorph (best one) or look here Second way: Drawing it yourself. You need a skill to draw stuff at first. If you don't have this skill yet, don't worry. Most people think that they are just to stupid to do so. There are thousands of drawing tutorials in the internet. Hardware like a drawing/writing pad can be useful to draw stuff dircetly onto pc. Otherwise you can also scan it, edit it with programms like GIMP or Photoshop... and then upload ;) And the speach bubbles? Eighter you do it with your editing software or you try to use special software like: http://plasq.com/products/comiclifemagiq Or use the educated help again. LINK TG Stories Also here, there are several way of creating. The easiest one is to ask another artist (of a caption for example) if you can use his or her caption as base for a larger story. There will be hardly anyone negating this request, I guess. Another way of getting an idea is to think about your life or recent happenings; people you don't like or even like and what fate would match them.- How they would react and so on. DO NOT steal ideas from other stories, comics or captions. People who know both could report and those artists can get very angry. If you have bad luck, they can even prosecute you. Also, your story would not be successful, because -in this way- copied stuff always sounds boring. You can also create so called "CYOT"-Stories, where the reader has the option to choose between several sequels of the story. "CYOT" means "Choose Your Own Transformation" or "Choose Your Own Tale". Those stories are seperated into parts with end with two or more (ends) the reader can choose between. Both or all have to be written out. You can also do more complex structures. TG Movies Creating a movie takes, in any case, a LOT of time. First of all, you need a story. Step one (of course): Think of a story. The story needs one or several climaxes, tension, and needs to affect the viewer in several ways. Animated movies: The easiest way: You can create animated movies with Sims 2 or 3 (or 4 when it comes?) There is a lot of downloadable content that can make your set and story individual. Hint: There is downloadable (cheat) concent, which allows to apply every possible pose at every time and place everyone everywhere at every time in Sims 2 and 3. The hardest way: Creating an animated movie with rendering and posing software is most expensive and most complicated. If you are a real absolute pro, you may try. Step two: Get an overview about the aviable content you are able to use and download. Step three: Write a script. A script contains all dialogues and "stage directions". Step four: Create the movie (longest part) Step five: Post production. Use morphing software to for example make transformation sequences look better. Step six: If it is a free movie, upload it to Youtube or other video-hosting medias and spread the link to it on the internet (for example HERE ;)). If it is a payed one, you need to search for a way to release it savely and then release it (also spread the release note). Real movies: (for the average human) Step two: Search for vouluntary actors and actresses. Make sure you can trust them. Step three: Search for a set/places you need. Step four: Write a script. A script contains all dialogues and "stage directions". Step five: Make your actors and actresses learn your script. Step six: Create the movie. Step seven: Post production. Use morphing software to for example make transformation sequences look better. Step eight: If it is a free movie, upload it to Youtube or other video-hosting medias and spread the link to it on the internet (for example HERE ;)). If it is a payed one, you need to search for a way to release it savely and then release it (also spread the release note). |
