I've made GIFs in PS elements. I was using an older version of the program, but I might be of assistance if you're interested.

tbh, all the things.

Well just how to become better with ps. I'm not bad but i'm not stellar either and I need to be close to stellar for work after school. Feedback and comments on work would be really nice too. i know not everyone is 3d artists, but we all see 3d art in games and movies, we know good models when we see them.

Thank you all for patiently waiting on us! I'm glad to get feedback on what you'd all like to learn. Haine and myself have been working on a few tutorials so those should be up soon!

Hm some animation help would be awesome. Especially making gifs from video.

Maybe painting tips? Some non-traditional tips?

Graphics in general. When I see the amazing graphics here on GC, I immediately go, "WOW! That's amazing! I would like to do that!"

In the design department at my school we don't cover these kinds of graphics. We cover graphics to communicate to the masses, but none of these types of graphics which I find astounding and would love to know how to make these beautiful graphics as well.

How do you make the cool borders on bumpers? like this one: 

Anything and everything.

For that specific bumper, I actually use a template I made myself. I'll write up a tutorial on it now.

Ooh thank you!  Everyone seems to have these kinds of borders around their bumpers.

I know how to add the border but I would like to know how you cut it to that lovely shape xD I would also like to know how people do silhouette graphics (I have some idea of how it might be done but I just want to be sure it's the right way!)

I want to be better at everything, because you can always improve! ^^
I really, really want to try and make a GIF.

^The silhouette graphics would be cool too!

I'd like to learn more about DESIGN. Maybe that's not really something you can teach, but I have trouble thinking up original ideas on what brushes/textures/etc to use and how.

How to put an animated gif into a signature?

It's often the preferred bumper shape among users XD

Pen tool can be helpful with it :3 & could you provide an example of one? I have a vague idea but I'd like confirmation.

There is a gif tutorial already in the guild! <3

ooooo challenging! There is a tutorial on how to put 2 animations on a signature already in the guild, you could experiment with that by just starting out with a single gif?

I just put up a Tutorial that people may want to learn about. <#

 Okay! I wasn't sure if it should be done differently. Thanks.

The silhouette graphic I meant is like this one

I'm also wondering how some people do falling leaves/snow/etc animation. I only know how to do a rain effect. :p

an easier way to make animations on gimp? i'm used to making them from ps. but i haven't made anything since then.

i wanna try to make a pop art like effect on gimp, i have seen various tutorials on it from ps, but maybe someone knows how to make something similar on gimp?

I guess coloring/shading is something I need some help on with drawings. And I wouldn't mind getting help on digital painting too.

Hey I'm curious if a tutorial got made about this one? If so I probably just missed it. Haha.

I plan to write more tutorials for this guild, so I'm bumping this thread to see what people would most like to learn. I can only help with Photoshop though.

Here is a list of available tutorials, so if something has been covered before, no need to request it again.

And don't say 'everything', that isn't helpful

I've always had a bit of trouble with a fading effect or like the rain effect. I can never seem to get them right. I've found a way to make it look ok but its just not quite right. 

Really i could use more help with making gifs, I think while i can do it, there are things that i'm not good with there, like effects. i'd be interested in those.

I'm still hoping someone can make a tutorial on the borders for the bumpers we use?
