Does anyone want a free sig?
 
Well, I am pretty bored and just wondering if anyone wants a free sig. So for those who want one and can't make a very good one, let me know... I'll make one for you. Just post some pictures you want to be on your sig and tell me what and where to put those stuff.

PS: Do you like my new sig?

Re: Does anyone want a free sig?
 
Hook me up with a sig. Put a bunch of crazy stuff in it please. Check the writers guild... Can you possibly make that jimi hendrix picture smaller or something? thanks


oh, and your sig is pretty good man. Keep it upo.

Ok, this is what I have in mind.





and...

Some cool neon text.

Ok, I need to know how big you want it to be. Do you want it to be the size of my sig or bigger? My sig is 402 x 62 Pixels... Tell me the exact size. Also, do you want any game related stuff in there? Just tell me the game's name and I'll start making it.

If you ever do want to make anymore, I'll take one. You dont have to though.

Give me the details first.

By details I mean:

Pictures
Colors
Size
and some other things you would like to include...

GameKinG 07-20-2003 06:54 PM

sure make me one that involves TWW charachters, including the link in your sig.

Make that picture whatever size you want! Just as long as it is legal.. yep.

Maybe put "Joe+iss=Joeiss" on the bottom of it... That is really old school.

Well, sorry, I finished before I read your latest post, but I made it. Hope you like it, but it was tough since I wasn't 100% sure how or what you wanted... But do you like this...?

Re: Does anyone want a free sig?
 
Make me one using my alien avatar, I don't want my name in it though. Something simple, yet chic. Whatever, you're the artist. Standard signature size is fine.

And wow stu! that is SICK. I have a huge dilema in front of me now.. lol.. Damnit!

DeathsHand 07-20-2003 11:07 PM

I'd like a sig... Preferably in text form... White Stripes lyrics, maybe? Perhaps from that song 'Lord Send me an Angel'... I think that'd be swell...

I had to delete every pixel that got in the way. I love the theme of this one. Hope you like it too, GameKinG.

I wasn't 100% sure what to do, but is this alright?



If so, cool, if you don't like it, let me know.

So... I'll continue tomorrow... Too tired and have summer school tomorrow. So whoever else wants a sig, let me know.

Edit: Yeah, didn't see that, sorry it took long but the first one I made for you started out awesome and ended up as a piece of s**t. The reason why it took so long is because I had no clue what to put in there... So I put your avatar like you said and checked your profile and saw that you're a fan of Sci-Fi... I hope you like that whole Matrix theme. :)

Happydude 07-21-2003 01:10 AM

Re: Does anyone want a free sig?
 
if you don't mind make me one too please :)

something with a the Viper in my sig, and my name, and all kind of crazy stuff like form the matrix and final fantasy 8, like the gunblade and all sorts of cr*p :p

good luck ;)

GameKinG 07-21-2003 02:14 AM

Good job!

Dylflon 07-21-2003 02:16 AM

I'd like one. And I know exactly what I want.

It has Luigi on it. You can do whatever you want to make it look cool. I'd like it to say Dylflon in the bottom left corner.

I'd also like it to say on the right: Vote for Luigi in the Gametavern Character Battle.

And maybe you could also fit the words "mama mia" in there somewhere.

Thanks in advance.

Here's my entry, Dyl.



Crono_Link, you're work isn't bad. But there's one thing that bugs me.. you're not cleaning off the images that you paste and shows white noise on the edges of things.. now what you can do it either put an eraser to it, or blur it to get rid of it. One good example of it, is this sig.. the boat's outline is covered in it, and you can see it on the tip of Link's cap.



And around Sephy.



The edges of the alien are very unsmooth, probably a blur would work here as well:



Now your sig itself can use some touching up. There's tons of evidence of white noise around the pastes, and your text isn't lined up very well.. it's cut off at the edge of the image... if you're having problems with the automatic placement thing, just zoom in, because then it renders it useless.



Here's a touch up idea, but since I don't have the original, it probably looks bad. What the problem with sigs is, most of the time you want to cram it up with a lot of stuff you like, and sometimes it isn't very clean. What you want to do is, either have one or two main subjects, or have everything in the same colour scheme or theme. Also, a border wouldn't hurt.



Overall your work is not bad but you can do better. I know it. :)

Oh, and Stu.. you're getting there. Keep it up. :)

TheGame 07-21-2003 03:55 AM

Re: Does anyone want a free sig?
 
Hmm, got skills... hmm:

-I would like it to be the 450x125 limit in size.
-Keep the color tone green and black
-On it is should say my name ('TheGame') and somewhere it should say 'supermoderator' or 'supermod'
-and work these pics into it somehow:



&



if you can do this and make it look good you got skills ;)

Dyne, the left part of Sephy's face isn't noise... It's his hair... It's supposed to be like that.

As for Link's hat, I zoomed in 1000% and deleted all the pixels. That "tip" that you see isn't Link's hat... It's actually a star near the moon.

Also, I don't really like to include borders. I used to before, but now it's just... sort of useless. But thanks for the help, Dyne.

Ok, I'll try. But I really like Dyne's sig, it fits in perfectly, but I'll try to make one and you can decide.

Rndm_Perfection 07-21-2003 05:38 PM

Game, I went ahead and decided to make something very basic for you. If nothing else, it'll be a way for you to give further ideas of what you want done with those two pictures.

In Green:



In Black:



Or, if this is similar to what you were looking for, then feel free to use it.


Hmm, in the green one, he looks a bit like The Hulk. It at least points out the green and black theme a little better.

Well, here's the one I made Dylflon.



I am pretty sure you'll use Dyne's. But I made this anyway. Hope you like it though.

Heheh, what's in the background for that one? Backgrounds are always the "funny" part of sigs. For instance, I used a telescope's image of some funky gas for the back of The Game's ¦¬Þ. Whatever works.

GameMaster 07-21-2003 05:56 PM

Re: Does anyone want a free sig?
 
Some many unknown web artist's here at GT are making their premiere today, Dyne sure has a lot of new competition.

Where do you guys learn how to do all of that? I have Photoshop 7 but I don't know how to make anything that cool looking as the stuff I've seen today and yesterday.

Hehe, yeah. I used a ghost for the moon on the top left. Yeah, very random, and the middle is a ink outlined half of a castle. I also used Lens Flare near Luigi's face.

Yeah, thanks. It takes practice and all... I took Graphic Arts and read some online tutorials.

No problem guys, and sorry for not making a sig for you Game, Random beat me to it. Besides that, Random is really talented with stuff like this.

I think your going a little overboard on rating Chrono's sigs Most of those white's you don't even notice. Not every gfx design is perfect. I make pretty good stuff meself (like the anime junkies sig, boredom, heh) but it may not be perfect. I think Crono's work is very good and i give him congradulations on a very good job.

Rndm_Perfection 07-21-2003 10:53 PM

I started making banners with paint. When you do it with paint, you have to go in and delete every freakin' pixel. If the characters aren't cartoony and have black borders, then they don't turn out too well. After making it in paint, I would select all and paste it into a weak photo editing program that came with my computer to change it into a jpg.

The last banner I've done on paint was for an online RPG:
http://www.geocities.com/ssjkakkarot/pics/SJPBanner.jpg

After that, I joined a Web Page Design class which introduced me to Fireworks, which - obviously - is superior to paint. It has options similar to Photoshop... but I particularly dislike Photoshop.

Glad you liked the sig, Game.

It's just constructive criticism. If CrOnO were to go "pro" with his graphic design, "clients" wouldn't like any white dots. With the right tools and technique, however, white dots can be easily overcome. Pointing out little flaws can help one's overall technique. Dyne's words should be seen as a little bit of help for CrOnO's future graphic design.

Still though, good choice of colors have been made by CrOnO.

Well, yeah... It does help me to do better and not leave any pixels open, but, some of those white dots were not left or pasted pixels... They were Outer and Inner glows I used to highlight the pasted object. But if it helps, I'll get rid of every unwanted white pixel on a sig next time..........

By the way Random, that reminds me, is there anyway you can teach me the basics of Fireworks? Online tutorials almost never help me, if you can help me through AIM or MSN I'd really appreciate it. (Been trying to learn it for years).. So if you can, let me know. Thanks.
