Honestly? I expected fuzzy slippers.

You know, I think that'd be pretty funny to watch. Good luck next time. At the rate you're going, you're already in.

[1] No doubt. [2] Likewise. Lol, cute. [1] A week or so.[2] That'd be great, but we don't need it just yet. Still got lotsa things to figure out. [3] Contest? Hm...depends on how many we can get to enter.

Actually, that might've been in the shoutbox...I was babbling about the meaning of the word render and such. And trust me, I'm far from a graphic guru. Well, looks like you guys pretty much covered it. I'll close this, and you can pm me if there's anything you'd like to add.

Yesh, it is. And yeah, I'll try to remember.

Yeah, I'm not feeling his tablemabob, but I probably would just end up using the head anyway. What matters though, is that it's a nice cut of a pretty useable render. Nice job.

[0] [1] Seriously though. And s243a, Klass, Nils... X.x [2] [3] You hit the nail right on the head about hitting the nail right on the head. [4]

Sounds like a pixie. Powersurge noes! (That smiley has the greatest expression...he's just all... ) I wonder what my caption is...beautiful on the inside?

Yay! You don't hate it! @Frozen -- *props* (That's right. 6 whole <3's. SIX. Read it and weep. )

Ditto. And...make a list, dorko. Anyway, nice job Biskie. It ain't too shabby.

Sue me.) Notice from Johnny: 4-13-06 -- Edited for newer sigs

Here's the official list of the T17 graphics crew, and what they do (primarily). Heads: Saint Michael -- Sigs, Templates, Logos Johnny -- Sigs, Fractals, 3D Abstract, Renders Members: KuBi -- Sigs, Renders, Wallpapers Truefusion -- Sigs, Splash, Templates, Logos, Renders, Hand-Drawn Drawings Cool Freaker -- Sigs (usually abstract) Frozen -- Sigs, Wallpapers, Templates, C4D, Terragen Snlildude87 -- Sigs Phyre -- Sigs (usually grunge), Textures, Templates (To the crew: If there's anything you'd like to add or remove to the list, let me know. I've also added all your contact info to my list, and I'd like to set some "foundation", so contact me when you get the chance.) So, there you have it. Everyone on that list is in the crew, for now. For more information, see the individual bios. If we notice a member slacking off, or lacking in their work, they'll be dropped. Also, periodically, we will be adding new members, so don't lose hope. More likely than not most of the original applicants will get a spot at some point or another. OTHER INFORMATION: Now that the crew has launched, we'll be making a "starter pack", which will essentially, be a big zip file, with a ton of different art, categorized and indexed, free for use however you like. There will be Fractals, Free Sig PSDs, Wallpapers, 3D Renders, and some other stuff. Basically, any art that could benefit the community, that the creator wouldn't mind sharing, will be in it. Now, this will be a GFX Crew based pack, but I've decided to let the public contribute as well. If you'd like to donate to the pack, simply make a topic in the Current Projects section, and post up whatever it is you'd like in the pack. I'll add it when I start collecting everyone's donations. Teaser -- I've already been working on my own donations, and I can already tell you that there will be at least 60 fractals in the pack. To donators -- Remember, the pack will be free for any use. Don't donate something you don't want being used in a certain way. *side note* When I say heads, don't take it as "we're better than you". It's just saying that we're steering the group in the right direction. NOW, that's that. In the next few days we'll be settling everything down, and finishing up the sig tourney and SOTW. Soon after, we look forward to some really nice stuff coming out. Keep your eyes peeled. EDIT: Come one, come all. Come get your crew tags, made by Truefusion. I only did the colors. I've decided against the "color-coded expertise" thing, because some of us would have too many colors, and most of us would have at least 2. So, just take your pick of whatever color you like. // site for banners no longer exist

That's alright. At least I feel better.

Why am I represented by a two-headed ogre/troll? X.xNah...nothing wrong with them. Nice job Biskie. ^-^I'll add it to my gallery later. Thankies.

Okay, so it was 3AM, right? Here I am, about to go to bed, and then suddenly, BAM! Biscuitrat pops into my head. So I'm like, double you tee eff mate? You know, kinda like Australia? And so anyway, I just spent 55 in the wee hours making dear Biskie a gift sig, because um...well, I honestly have no idea. I'm REALLY hoping I didn't make it too pink, or too...blah. If it's too pink, or too...blah, I'll definitely make a new one later. The original had a purple background with pink techy stuff, and dear god did that look horrible. Now, making the gift sig now was a random thing, but I did have reasons for you being on my gift sig previously. So here they are. -- You're a really nice person. -- You make nice comments. -- You have your own style. -- You're teh kween of everything. -- You have a monkey, who I believe to be ebil, and Sandy, a clone of my best friend's dog. -- I give gifts to everyone and their momma. So ANYWAY, hope you like it...personally, I'm pretty satisfied with it. Wow, I believe this is the longest gift sig topic I've made, by far...you're special Biskie. (Oh, did I mention your sigs were the inspiration for this one? Tried to go simplistic...ish.)

Okay, just to clarify a few things...1. On Monday, Saint Mike and I, (or maybe just me) will close the app topics and tally up the number of yes votes. The 4-6 with the most votes at that time will be accepted into the graphics crew. Everyone else will simply have to wait until the next time apps come around.2. Soon after the crew launches, we'll be making a "starter pack", which will essentially, be a big zip file, with a ton of different art, categorized and indexed, free for use however you like. There will be Fractals, Free Sig PSDs, Wallpapers, 3D Renders, and some other stuff. Basically, any art that could benefit the community, that the creator wouldn't mind sharing, will be in it. Now, this will be a GFX Crew based pack, but I've decided to let the public contribute as well. If you'd like to donate to the pack, simply make a topic in the Current Projects section, and post up whatever it is you'd like in the pack. I'll add it when I start collecting everyone's donations.3. The current tally for the GFX Crew applications, as of about 5 seconds ago, is as follows:KuBi -- 8TrueFusion -- 7 (If Nguyen's reason counts.)Cool Freaker -- 6Frozen -- 6Snlildude87 -- 6Phyre -- 5Rvalkass -- 4Sprite -- 4 (Macdre just commented an individual sig.)Rejected -- 3DJLuki -- 2Moonwitch -- 2Biscuitrat -- 1Cision -- 1(Sorted by number of votes, then alphabetical.)So at the moment, it looks like the new gfx crew members might be KuBi, Truefusion, Cool Freaker, Frozen, Snlildude, and maybe Phyre.But don't give up just yet. You all still have a chance at this. There's still a day left, and if people vote like they have been in the tourney, you can rack up 6 or 7 votes before applications end.Good luck to you all. I look forward to seeing the new gfx crew.

I'm officially changing my vote, if not to get you into the graphics crew, then to at least redeem myself for my previous mistake.I now vote yes, because although what I said before stands true for the first stuff you posted, every single one of your recent stuff (starting from cmat's gift, to gmu/sandy's sigs) is perfect. Sure, they don't have grunge brushing and tech borders, but not all sigs have to be the same. Yours are perfect, IMHO.So there. That's my little speech.

Hey there. Not bad for a first sig, but just a few things...1. The animation -- While it's a cool idea, it doesn't seem to come off just right in the sig.2. The color -- Nice color, but slightly monotone.3. The brushing -- Very nice brushing for a first attempt, but it covers up the render(s), which would probably look cooler on top.4. The size -- It's not TOO big, just a bit on the wide side. There's a bit of empty space on the left that could be cut off, I think.But like I said, very nice for a first try. You're already getting the brushing, border, text, color, and render usage down, which is pretty impressive.

Haha, that's exactly how my friend got his Sandy. And she got way big. O.O She knocks people over, cause she's way goofy and playful and BIG. And she eats EVERYTHING. I don't know how many burritos and sandwiches I've lost to that....VACCUUM of a dog. =/

I do too, and thankies.

[1] Good point.[2] Not sure what you mean. [3] I doubt it'd be under style lines, that's just my name for it...and it's a relatively simple effect, so I'm not sure if there'd be any tutorials on it. But then again, people make tutorials on some pretty trivial stuff....

Okay, just try to keep it together next time.

One of the members (I forgot who) made a nice red pill image, that had a nice glass/plastic effect.

Whee, I get to get back at Nguyen for being so anal about off-topicness.ON TOPIC. NOW.
