Johnny

Exactly who I was referring to.

So wait, you just proved yourself wrong.

Well, I made 1 sig from the render already. What's glomp?

170672[/snapback]

Yeah, I noticed.

 

Glomp is what you do to someone, it's somewhat a mix of assault and hugging.

You want us to open all of these? You may want to put an "or" in there...

 

Anyway, nice tutorial, but the use of the blur could have been more creative.

170653[/snapback]

Lol, I'm sure you know what was meant.

 

What's with all the sig tutorials now? *sigh*

 

Why does it say Carnage though?

170655[/snapback]

There's "all the sig tutorials now", so noobs like you don't stay noob forever.

Just smile and nod your head.

 

It says carnage because the red one is carnage. Not spidey.

That's why he's all bulky and such. And has Gene Simmons' tongue.

 

Mike, I think it'd look better if the blur was turned down just a bit, and the text was different. The way you have it now ruins the "motion" in there.

 

Not a bad tutorial though.

Yeah, he rendered the megaman one, and I pointed out it's already been done on gamerenders.

That's actually normal for a last name. Brooks for a first name sounds like a girl's name.

*cough* Do I have to remind you I hawk these forums like mad?

 

And do I also have to remind you...I have admin powers.

Heh, those are classic. Nice job.

johnny you be looking at these sigs to hard. me thinks you have something going on...

 

but anyways thats not a bad idea i would have gone more gamer like wow or even starwars.

170464[/snapback]

With Becca? Psh. We're dating.

 

And WOW or Star Wars wouldn't fit with a diablo site.

how do you do the contrast color thing? i don't know what you're talkinga bout when you say that...

170317[/snapback]

color balance layer and brightness/contrast layer.

 

but on topic with multi coloring i can't seem to get it right, and i read enough stuff on it for it to work, but it don't come out as good as i want it to be.

170451[/snapback]

three words. leap of faith.

thats where abstract brushing comes into play with fractals, you can do alot with abstract brushing and the right grunge brush to get the right depth in sigs.

170442[/snapback]

Hush mike, hush.

 

You're partially right, but it wouldn't work on these two fractals, as they're vortex-style.

i like to respond on the comics thing comics have vaule games do not, where do you see a super mario bros got for $10-15000 a shot. comics now are about collecting forget reading them collect them.  now only if i had a time machine i would buy like 100 issue #1 of some of the old stuff, i be like a freakn millionaire off of them.

170363[/snapback]

Nah...collecting comics requires too much time and effort. I could care less about "preservation" and all that junk...I just get them for the reading value. Some have GREAT storylines, and cool stuff.

 

But I've been wondering, how do you guys do those cool pictures in your signatures, like the metal dude in this one?

How long does it take you guys to complete one of those and how did you learn it all.

170367[/snapback]

[1] That'd be a render. Try looking up some tutorials on adding renders to your sigs. I have a really old one, I believe, but I'd recommend other ones over it.

 

[2] I've been doing sigs for several months now, but if you mean how long it takes per sig, I usually spend anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the level of detail. It averages around 30-45 minutes though. And I've learned everything I know through reading tutorials, watching better designers, and experimenting.

anyways like a said slap a milky way arch first and then blend it in with other star brushes, and thus you got your outspace iron man, curious though how you change the colors with out screwing it up, i wonder about that cuz when i do it, it sucks big time.

170344[/snapback]

Thanks for the suggestions, but you don't meet the required cool levels to change render colors.

@Johnny - whoooo! Thanks so much! I think it's my best one ever seeing as I never try on anything I do. Funny thing was that it took me twenty minutes to draw my monkey. Twenty freaking minutes.

170503[/snapback]

See, put some more effort into it, and you'll be awesome. That one totally blew me away, so obviously you've got some skills.

 

And hm...twenty minute monkey huh? I hate when that happens.

My vote goes to Luki. It came down to text and overall flow.2-1. Luki up.

not bad but OMG everyone is copying my ideas :D

170455[/snapback]

There's a surprise.

its good for a beginner to start off with since all your doing is brushing slapping a render on and changing the color.

 

make it more indepth and you could bring it to the next level.

170469[/snapback]

Don't forget slapping some text on.

Yes, I do mean Half Life-y. God, I'm so confused today.

170159[/snapback]

Don't worry...sometimes I feel I'm in a constant state of confusion.

 

like isad earlier these tutorials are good for the beginners, yeah i agree that brush would look better with a camo style going with it.

170446[/snapback]

Well, the brushes aren't bad, but like biscuit said, they're too busy for the render. And making brushes that look like that is easy.

This will be a seperate topic for discussing the week's entries. Remember, do not post anything but entries in the entry topic. This avoids clutter and makes it easier to set up voting. No flaming or whining in either topic.So, get posting. Talk about your entry or others...whatever you want. Just keep it nice and clean. Don't wanna go banning people over graphics, right?

Okay, as described in the pinned topic, here are the rules for the SOTW contest:

Problems:

If someones entree has a mistake or breaks the rules, pm him/her, post in the discussion thread, or pm me. Pm me also if you have questions or concerns.

 

Winnings:

The winner of the SOTW will win a prize.

 

Rules:

1. The entry must be your creation. You may use outside brushes or renders, but no ripping sigs, and no collab sigs.

2. One entry per person.

3. You cannot change your entry.

4. Animation optional.

5. Flash sigs (.swf) not allowed. Use only jpg, gif, bmp, or png.

6. Keep the size reasonable. No wallpaper-sized entries.

7. Your name must be on the sig somewhere.

8. Nothing but entries in the entry thread. Discussion is for the discussion topic. Any other posts will be hidden, and your entry may be disqualified.

 

When entries are finished, a new poll will be created where you may vote on your favorite sig. There will be no replies allowed, just votes. The people with the top 3 votes at the end of the week each get recognition, and the person with the most gets a prize.

 

There will be one week of entries, and one week of voting. While the voting week is

underway, the entries for next week will also be going on.

So have fun, and remember, entries only here. Any other posts will be deleted and you will lose credits.

 

Like I said on AIM, that one's awesome Biskie. My personal favorite so far...But, my opinion is just another vote in the crowd. There might be an upset. :DGood luck. I'm still working on mine. ^-^

Hm...you're off to a good start, just not quite there yet. Work on text and backgrounds, and you're rock steady. Nice job so far.

Anyways, point is that the backgrounds a bit off, I'm not loving the bevel, and the rest is OK.

 

6/10

 

And yay! I found myself a spelling nazi friend! I before E except after C!

170140[/snapback]

Yeah...forgot to mention I'm not loving the bevel either. Good call Biskie.

 

(I'm a spelling Nazi too. )

Already told you on AIM...nice job KuBster. I think it's a bit better than subzero.

I think frozen and Saint Michael have the best sig right now. Isnt today the day that all entries are due?

170099[/snapback]

Sorry about that...we've changed some rulings since I posted that. I'll be finishing entries sometime tomorrow.

His toes and knee are a bit choppy too, but meh...I doubt I'd use the lower parts. I've already used that render in a sig anyway, I hate reusing renders.

 

But regardless of what I'M gonna do with them, they're nice cuts. Good job.
