[undeadorcjerk]

Hey guys, i was surfing teh net and saw some tutorials for making blocky sig icons and i thought to myself "why dont i try this?" so i tried to make some of the smaller ones.

Well here are the first two i have ever tried.

what do yall think?


if you want one of the lightsaber icons with a personal color, i could make you one.

I'm back, from summer class

Anyways.... about those userbars, there something missing, Cos of all "dota" or any userbars I have seen has a whit glow, or maybe a wind effect on the upper part to make look 3D, yours doesnt have that wind, Actually I dont know what it is or how can it be done, jus a reminder, If others have read this post......hope they answer bout the wind effect.

example:

look th the top part of the userbar, wind effect right~~??

It looks nice for a first, but try adding a background effect to spice it up.

@fragilous: Simply use a eliptical marquee (smthn like that) then create a white thingy on it; then set its opacity to something like 25%.


Here is an amazing tutorial by alzidaney which truly helps on creating user bars, (do not rip!)

No offense but color of the halo one makes me quesy, try to match colors to some degree

this is a 2 month old topic dude....
but anyway a monochromatic sig isnt necessarily a good one you just need a good scheme

 

[undeadorcjerk]

yea, i was surprised when is saw this had a new post on it. Yea the colors dont match much, but i've improved since then.
