Making Signatures

[Kalbintion]

After reading some blood effect tutorials, blood texture tutorials and testing them out, i think i got it pretty good on the blood-effect however the scars were done using the blood technique aswell, so if u dont like them i can redo them so their a lil more scratch/scar coloring instaed of the blood. also if u want any other changes to it let me kno, ill see what i can do

[End Result]

Edit:

The background image is of new york, so i gave u kinda a "mob boss" kinda like thing lol, seemed to fit well with what u wanted

 

[Ratherion]

Well.... I suggest going to deviantArt and dowlading some Bloodspatter brushes. Then zoom in and try to color in those stray yellow pixels around the blood.

 

[Palin_Twinblade]

i never used gimp but i have never heard of .png images giving an effect like that Rath.

and kalb can't use custom brushes witch is a bad thing totally.

 

[Ratherion]

oh, did not know. And that SUCKS!
Yea it's a bordering problem, mistake on my part.

 

[Kalbintion]

hmm, i can zoom in and color them in pixel by pixel, i didnt notice them until u said something rath ill fix it up!

fixxed, reuploading sig now
reupload done; should be fixxed now [note: if pic aint showing up correctly, clear ur cache n reload page usually works for me]

 

[Ratherion]

I still get nothing... what photohost are you using?

 

[Kalbintion]

Photobucket -- Like i said, clear the cache that your web browser has [cache is what is stored, pages, files, images, everything, used for faster access] below you can find out how to clear cache for FireFox and Internet Explorer. Once you clear the cache the picture should be re-loaded just fine but note: everything images, others signatures and all of that will be re-loaded into cache aswell, so page may load a bit slower than normal.

also palin, its kal plz, not kalb, thxs

Edit:
Heres a way to clear cache for FireFox
Tools -> Options -> Privacy Tab -> Cache Tab -> Clear Cache Now -> Ok -> Press F5 [reloads page]
Heres a way to clear cache for Internet Explorer
Tools -> Internet Options -> General Tab -> Delete Files -> Ok -> Ok -> Press F5 [reloads page]

Edit2: Besides whats above i changed the wording in original post to make it more clearer for some people

 

[Ratherion]

Here ya are Vergil:

I found it hard to incorperate the army, so I just put in a big battle/burning town. hope you like it.
(sorry about the pixelation on the General, there where some resizing issues that I could not fix for all my worth)

[Palin_Twinblade]

that sig would look nice with the warrior armor's blue face in the pauldron to be animated. just use adobe image ready that comes with photoshop check some animaton tuts, i can't really teach w/o looking at the program.

 

[Ratherion]

To bad I lack photoshop, otherwise I would DENFINETlY add some blue smokey flames coming out of the shoulder pauldron.

 

[Palin_Twinblade]

thats right gimp sorry

 

[Ratherion]

As much as I want CS3, GIMP is free...

 

[Palin_Twinblade]

cs3 is free if u use limewire or ares

 

[Ratherion]

True, but thats (illegal)... shhhh don't wake the admins!

I guess I should PM Vergil?

 

[Kalbintion]

he'll look back if he wants it that badly but lol, ye pming him is a good idea XD; and dont speak of illegals, its not good lol

 

[KnucklesMahone]

I havent put used a sig in a while, so i apoligize for this incredibly nooby question, but how to i put Kalbintion's sig he made for me in my sig. By the way thanks alot Kalbintion!

 

[Kalbintion]

how? take the code i had in their and put image tags around it

 

[KnucklesMahone]

Guys i have a question. When my friend saw all the amazing sigs you guys were making he was very impressed. He's a big mets and rangers fan and if somone could possibly make him a ranger/mets sig he would really be happy. If nobody wants to i also understand, but it would make him VERY happy. Thanks
Oh and his name is Henry if anyone would make it, if you could incorporate that into the sig that would be great
Thanks again (lol)

 

[VergilThazaar]

Thanks Rath, I had a few probs with my computer and the Wc3. It doesn't fit with the description I requested but it's very nice, almost glad you didn't work exactly on the request. Can you pm me the Photoshop ver?

[Plus Reputation]

EDIT: I noticed some "too much posts by certain people", wouldn't call it spam.

EDIT#2: Could you edit the text first, looking sideways and some effect on it if possible.

 

[Ratherion]

Hmm well I don't have photoshop... can you convert/open it from a GIMP file?

And yes I can change the text, do you have any specifications? If not I will just make it... fancier. What exactly do you mean by "Looking sideways?"

 

[VergilThazaar]

Rotate it or sth. I don't know if photoshop can do that, a try wouldn't hurt.

 

[norava]

ummmmmm so can you make my sig?

 

[RED BARON]

ummmmmm so can you make my sig?

You need to post more info, if there is anybody who's going to make it.
Pics also help.

 

[Palin_Twinblade]

it makes it alot easier is you list the color theme, text you want, links to pictures you want on it, and detailed information on anything else.

 

[Kalbintion]

Knuckles, ill attempt that sig if no one else is. Norava, gimme more info and such and ill attempt it too [both of u plz post this request in my "Kalbintion's Request Thread" so i can get to the info faster, if u want me to do it that is]

 

[norava]

ok basically i want a woodland backround with a stream running northeast clipping part of the top left corner and a half kender(for images of kender go to the kencyclopedia for kender pics) with a somewhat dirty white robe on and a magical tower in the backround in the half-kenders right hand with his arm slightly forward holding a spellbook with his hood up yet light is still revealing his face showing that hes chanting a spell and in his left hand which is holding a fireball and his arm which is at a near 90 degree angle from his left arm and slung on his back is a staff that looks like a cross between the staff of magius and a hoopak and in a text similar to the kind used by blizzard's logo it says Norava with a sea tealish glow around it

descriptive enough? lol

 

[Kalbintion]

y, yes, yes i do think it is lol

 

[Black Orc]

Hey guys i just started sig making and i have a question. On my sig i have several layers (this is on gimp). Im on the rendering part, but first i have to input an image (im doing jack sparrow) but how do i put the image in the sig? i tried dragging it but that wont work. Please help. (Also could somone give me the link to some good gimp fonts, and plz tell me how to input them?) also some help on rendering would be great lol. Thanks!

 

[Ratherion]

Well let's see here.

In GIMP [which I use], I would open up the other Image file that you want on the sig, resize it to what you need, then drag a selection box around it and Copy-Paste it into the sig.

I get all my fonts at dafont. When you download the font it will be in a font format (changes for Windows/Mac), unzip the font zip file that you downloaded, then open up the Control Panel and go to settings, under the Display menu there should be a folder somewhere on the left (for XP) that says Fonts, if you Drag-an-Drop the TrueType file that you Unzipped into the font folder, you should get and "Installing Font" popup loading bar, when this is done, save your work and re-start GIMP, the next time you open it It should have the font in the font menu.

I think that about covers it. Please consider Private Messaging one of the sig makers next time you have a question, I mean I don't mind, and I don't think Herio does either, but this thread is getting a little..... posty?

 

[Kalbintion]

posty? lol, btw knuckles & norava, your sigs im still workn on, i unno how much longer

edit:
knuckles: heres your requested sig, after i spent 3 hrs deciding on a font out of my collection lol.... also this is an animated sig, gasp >.> prolly one of the few ill ever make it rotates from "GO RANGERS" TO "GO METS" and it loops

behind the icon of the team, theirs the home field of the team, rangers has a night-time view while they play a game, mets have a day-time and i didnt see no game going on. Any mods u need post in "Kalbintion's Request Thread" plz. Ty!

Norava, can u give me some base images im ahving trouble finding some, thxs

 

[Darkey]

I'd like to post a request for a signature, obviously:

I'd like the size to be 390x130
I'd want this picture included. Picture.
I'd want the color theme to be blue/white as stated on the picture.
As for any text wanted to be included there's nothing really I want on it.
A border/frame would be appreciated yes.

Thanks in advance.

Here you go Darkey. Use if you want or let me know if you need something changed.

 

[Ratherion]

Huh... that marking reminds me of my custom effect with tattoo designs.. like on my sig and others I have made

 

[Palin_Twinblade]

wonder if herio rly gets on anymore he seemed more active w/ school =P

 

[Zieg]

yeah the right hand effect is just from a tribal tattoo brush set. the left hand is a 3d tattoo of a grim reaper but i havent figured out a nice way to sign my signatures. The reaper will have to do for now.

 

[Ratherion]

wonder if herio rly gets on anymore he seemed more active w/ school =P

Ya I noticed.. well we can all be cool and keep up finishing the requests untill he gets back/tells us to go away.

 

[Black Orc]

Hey zieg did you draw that? Can one of you masters teach me the ways of the sigs! Mine are bad... Help me masters...!

 

[Zieg]

i do have my own custom brushes that me and a buddy who does tattoos made. i dont offer them to the public, but you can go to deviantart to find other tribal brushes. herio says its fine that i help with new requests.

 

[Darkey]

It's nice, but think you could get the background and Grimmjow a little sharper? Looks a little too blurry to me.

 

[Gath_Stormer]

Wow i havent posted here since forever hgow are the sigs comeing people.

BTW Darky where you get that Dota Hater thing.

 

[Palin_Twinblade]

http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t13/ziegslavric/Requests/Zieg_Avatar.jpg

Tried making the avatar.

 

[Ratherion]

That looks fine for me :|, I'll put you on the waiting list Palin.

 

[Kwaliti]

Hmmm, I could use a nice sig in res 500x80. It should have a nice transition from high across medium to low quality of nice color patterns ranging in bluish colors with my name in the middle in white, with Bart font. that's all I could use! Thanks in advance!

 

[Palin_Twinblade]

zieg whats that in background the red=P little 2 much red but for an avatar its fine =) thx ill put it on when rath can get 2 my sig, thx rath.

 

[Zieg]

i didnt make the sig, i just made the avatar and put an abstract brush behind it to make it. I would try the actual sig but i figure you wanted rath to do it.

 

[Palin_Twinblade]

well ive only seen1 of ur pieces so I wouldn't know if i'd like your stuff or not. other forums used to requesting from one person =P kinda just stuck wit me. you could try it you like It may even be better than raths I wouldn't know!?

 

[Ratherion]

Well uh...
How about you let me do this one Zeig?

 

[Zieg]

i wasnt trying to take your light rath. i have a sig request thread on another forum and not getting anything. i just need the practice. besides i just wanted to try it. the avatar i made turned out fairly well. if he doesnt use it i will.

 

[Ratherion]

Oh I know! I'm fine with you trying. Gl!
