Cleaning by blennz

here is the file its in photoshop like you want

-Deleted- Test passed! =)

Congrats Blennz!

eee?
that's the page used for typesetting test, not cleaning.
but i see no text at all..

hahah yeah, the images you should have done are in this thread:

ok i did it click the link

dude. i don't know if it's just me but you forgot to join the pages

this may help

hey, now it looks way better!
I'll post my comments about your clean tomorrow since it's already bedtime for me.

near perfect!

but you still need to check out the straight line.
there's still some 'gray line' at some point: helm, shoulder, SFX & arm.
btw the arm/elbow need a bit more redraw.
maybe the ear & helm too.. (though most ppl wont notice this details... -_-)

wait for mathi's comment too...

yeah, there's still a faint line where it's possible to see where you did the joining for the two pages. if you had gotten rid of the greys on the white part of shinozaki's shoulder, and on shinozaki's arm (and drew a few more lines from the elbow down) it would have looked correct.

also, kurosuke's helmet (top left hand corner) was done mostly fine, just get rid of the white line you included there. kurosuke's EYEBROWS though got shaved off lol. please redraw that.

attached is your clean with red circles drawn on top so you know which mistakes i'm referring to:

not much to add.
just level it a bit more. the blacks could be a bit blacker in my opinion. there's too much dust in them (but it might just be my laptop).

also upload your .psd file, so I can take a look at how you clean (position of the layers and stuff.)

so, please apply all said changes and we'll take a look at the result again.

btw, well done for your first try with photoshop!

Hmm, I got a video off from a person of another group. It is a youtube video on how you do both redraws and cleaning.

Further proof that NCIS is amazing . Cass is the other main editor for NCIS and THE only editor really when I'm off being MIA.

You probably rotated a page wrong which is why they didn't align correctly when you merged them. If you wanna still join by the time I get back from NY and still need some help I'll teach you.

BTW: Next time include a PSD. Don't touch the background and do everything on a new layer. It'll be easier to see where you messed up especially on redraws.

i cant do that kind of redraws... @_@
if im gonna redraw the feathers, ill do a copy-paste. (speedy redraw)
i cant redraw that manually....

Yeah, he's the one that private message me on IRC. This video will help us in upping our standards in terms of graphics if blennz would to pick up these skills.

You can always go to #cleaners on IRCHighway. Some groups put videos together to help each other out. I know editors from Illuminati-manga and NCIS are there along with some other groups. But since it's been a few weeks since I've been on IRC I couldn't tell you any other groups.

I know quite a few of these channels. I got these links from a channel that he and I regular often. #Cleaners, yeah been there once or twice. I will call blennz to go there, the next time I see him online.

...he definitely owns a graphic tablet

ill try get another done on monday or maybe tuesday

Cheers Blennz! ^.^;

i did another 1 theres the link in the first post i did go look

it's already good.. i think..
i almost can't tell where the straight line was.

some staff asked the PSD. upload it for them ^^

i think you did a great job. now just for the cleaners to come in and check your work.

Blennz, the links? 0.o;

I can't see them at your post.

Hah saw it! Waiting for both Kaze's and Ge4ce's inputs.

I already rated his clean. There're still some things left to improve, but that'll come with time. I'd say he qualifies! I gave him some pages of Hanagata to clean, to get some exercise with redraws.

Ignoring the dust on the sfx...:

Good job!
