You wouldnt happen to know a good way for metallic text, I keep trying some things from a pslover tut but it never comes out right.

I'm what one might call a Photoshop-newb.
Here's my latest and greatest:

And an avatar I made a while back:

As you can see, I'm still a ways off you guys. But give me time

I will offer up my services for anyone who wants a sig, just send me a decent screenshot of your charcter/whatever in the post you want.

Flash is for animating and making interactive site designs/games.
Fireworks is an animating program, used to make animations.

Fireworks could be used I guess, though Photoshop is the best option for things like this by far

Those are some cool looking sigs that you all made. I know how to use Photoshop, & ImageReady. I use ImageReady to make my animations, it's works just like Photoshop.

Again cool sigs.

I'm using the gimp, is it any good?

Gerbill · Aug 07, 2005, 02:42 PM // 14:42

I don't know gimp, so I can't tell ya, sorry.

I made another siggy, just for fun.

Omega Complex · Aug 08, 2005, 12:45 AM // 00:45

Whadda think about this one, any feed back is greatly appriciated!

ZenRgy · Aug 08, 2005, 12:54 AM // 00:54

Looking awesome, the cutout ones always look good.

That's what I use. I can take the backgrounds out of images and make them transparent easily, but that's about all I know how to do. I don't know how to make those cool backgrounds using it, but it's probably possible.

(anyone want to try and figure it out? gimp.org for download, but you gotta download gtk+runtime environment as well).

Gerbill · Aug 08, 2005, 02:39 AM // 02:39

Omega complex looks nice 2 pointers though:

- there is a bit at the Monk's neck and 2 bits under his shoulder pads (whatever you want to call them) that aren't cutout.

- the rectangle signature part could use a border.

@Weezer_blue: what is gtk ?

Weezer_Blue · Aug 08, 2005, 02:46 AM // 02:46

No idea. But you need it to run 'The Gimp'. You can get it off the official site.

Omega Complex · Aug 08, 2005, 03:35 AM // 03:35

Ty Gerbil, I don't see the parts at his neck but I will fix the stuff at his sholdurs. I agree on the box too, I should have done that originally.

**Edited to avoid double posting**

How about now, I actually changed some things cause I liked the gradient, and I imployed a sneaky work around to get it to show up right. Otherwise I'd have to use some directx shaders, but I'll get to that another day...

OverlordTyrael · Aug 08, 2005, 06:14 AM // 06:14

Looks much better now that you've fixed the borders and put a glow around him, though I would suggest changing the background/font to fit the theme, and perhaps making your name a bit more legible. Otherwise, great start!

while we're at it..

and lots more where that came from lol..
