where to find good graphic images

[castlella]

lol.. i will make the first thread then~

i have become recently interested in graphics images..
but since i am new in this area.... is there any kind soul out there who can tell me where to find good graphic images?

it 's better if its anime related xD

thanks in advance!

[ichito]

what kind of graphic are we tlking :O?

[kimono031]

I agree with ichito, can you please clarify what you mean by graphic images?

For example, stock images, renders, effects, textures?

[Sora Kasugano]

lol, Every image is Graphics itself. But it when you customize, renew, render or whatever you call it, it's fit to be called Graphics already~

[deadshitsuji]

i know a few but some of them are NSFW /heh , but try http://safebooru.org/, its like danbooru, only safe :D

Try browsing Google about it in the 'image' search and then when you find a cool pic you can go to where that pic is originally from.

This is actually how I managed to find MangaFox a few years back.

Well, if your looking for graphics for a specific anime series then you should probably try going to it's Official website.

Try to go to devianart there is so many beautiful arts there

[Ragnarok]

Try sank-k-k-k naaah I better not mention this site. Try minitokyo (www.minitokyo.net) for anime wallpapers, indie art/fan art and scans... although you must become a member to view full size.

DeviantArt (http://deviantart.com)
Zerochan (http://zerochan.net)
AnimePaper (http://Animepaper.net)
MiniTokyo (http://minitokyo.net)

Currently, these are the sites that i only know.
/heh

The site that I use for image quality were mostly contain R-18 content so I cant post them. Anyway, you can also try looking at minitokyo and zerochan as being posted here by users before me.

thank you all o' kind people^_^...

well actually to be more specific
i want a picture that moves, jumps, flies,.. like snoozy and ragnarok's signature
or that glitters like kimono-nee chan's signature.. or chibi pics like in sora's signature..
or do i have to do stock , render, renew, effects ...etc (which i am hearing for the first time)after going to photoshop or something to get a signature like one of you guys ?

and i did try devianart.. but what i saw on the home page was only fan made pics or sketches O.o
yeah i know little too less when it comes to all computer stuff.. so i was wondering if i can find something like the signatures i mentioned "READY MADE" xD

Well first thing, that moving pics are .gif and it wouldnt be simple to learn how to do it. You can ask them how.About the sig, sora's sig is done by photoshop which deals with things that related to editing of pics at all. At kimono, it is also a .gif pic like the one on Ragnarok sig.

[knipyoko]

I go to Zero-chan and Minitokyo Imouto chan since the quality of the pics there are amazing. :)

[kimono031]

Image board sites like zerochan and konachan are sites that take images from sites, usually a site with a community of artists/illustrators, such as deviantart and pixiv. This means that none of the users (or at least none that I've seen so far) has posted images that they drew/painted/created themselves. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it frustrates me not knowing who the artist is and not viewing their other works.

Most of the amazing sfw anime art I found on konachan, minitokyo, zerochan, etc were found in >>pixiv<< (http://www.pixiv.net/), which in my opinion, is an amazing site to find anime artists/doujinshi etc. The great thing is, when you find an artwork you like, you know who the artist is, and you can then browse through the rest of their amazing gallery. It's a japanese site, however there is an option to change the language, and I highly recommend you check the site out :3

If you want me to recommend a few artists on there, I'd be more than happy to tell you ~

I usually just render images myself, but when I get lazy to, I head on over to planetrenders (http://planetrenders.net/) to find some hq renders. I also get my C4Ds and fractals from there too /no1

As for textures, non-anime stock, and other resources, I usually stick to trusty ol' deviantart (http://www.deviantart.com/) for that.

OH! If your'e looking for interesting gif animation pictures (ie. pictures that move, glitter, etc) then I suggest going to tumblr for that. Tumblr (http://www.tumblr.com) is such an interesting place ~ I found so many hilarious gifs there, including my QB sig :3

If you are looking for "already made" graphics, like signatures & avatars that are already pre-made and stuff, then just searching on Photobucket or google images should suffice. I don't advise doing this though if you want to get into graphics more. It's much more fun making something out of an artwork/image, and the best part is, it looks the way you want it to.

If you can't get a program like Photoshop to edit images, then I suggest downloading GIMP (http://www.gimp.org/) - it's free and easy :3

tl;dr
Pixiv (http://www.pixiv.net/) | Planetrenders (http://planetrenders.net/) |deviantART (http://www.deviantart.com/) | Tumblr (http://www.tumblr.com)
For "ready-made" images search on Photobucket (http://photobucket.com/) and Google Images

[ichito]

hmm i would of said deviantart but i havent been there in a long while so i dont remember if you get moving pics etc

[Mystical]

I mostly get my images from either zerochan and deviantart. If you want to search the whole internet, use google. An image board site is better I tell you.

[restpice]

Hahaha, feel free to use it. :) There's so many website's other than deviantart, tumblr, etc. but I won't share them~
Coz' some of them have "H" on it and some have explicity contents...~ xD

[MayonakaYami]

hm, I can suggest "PhotoBucket".. just type in Google search "Photobucket Anime Gifs" then there it goes..
You can be more specific in searching in photobucket too, like you can type in the photobucket search engine "One Piece GIF"
Then it will show you the moving pictures related to one piece...( Because of the GIF added to the word One Piece )...
If you want it not moving.. just type in the anime without the word GIF...
~Hope I can Help..
