Title: Green Orc Recolor
Post by: war_machine1982 on April 13, 2009, 01:21:39 PM

Ok. This is my first resource, so i think it's in the correct area (if not, move it please).


I was looking in the charas generator, and realized that there was no green orc :/ so i recolored it

And a face for it

and a gray body so you can recolor it (instructions at bottom)

To recolor it in photoshop, use the magic wand tool (uncheck anti-aliasing and set tolerance to 1) to select the background green. Go to Select -> Inverse to select just the body. Now cut and paste a new layer with the body in the same place (must be cut for this to work). Add a hue/saturation layer, but check the box saying colorize. At this point the background is also changed. Now move the layers like this from top to bottom: Green Background, Hue, Bodies. If you did this correctly, it should work.

Criticism is appreciated :)

Not to shabby, but not super impressive ether. I'd say it's a fair recoloring job. Good work, I like the ehad, it look's oringinal. You should try it in blue with that dutsty shade ahir if you want to improve it.

I couldn't find the real one. IT was that ugly little orc that Tree Beard squished. That kept trying to eat Merry and Pip. He didn't have a name so that made the search more difficult.
