Hey there Becca. Nice to see you around my part of the forums. ^-^ BTW, just to let you know, your site's down? O.o

Yeah...try there. And sorry, but I can't help you on that one...I suck at realistic modeling, especially advanced things like animals.

Hehe, yupyup. I'm growing FAST. Getting better and better...still not up there yet though. And yeah, those Pros are psycho. You and Phyre should do some more sigs sometime. I'd love to see more of you guys' stuff again.

Heh, thankies CF. I'll keep that stuff in mind next time.^-^

Displacement maps?

@SM -- Haha, if you say so Saint Mike...@Phyre -- School's out. I have no life. Nothing better to do. ^-^

[agree] And how did I hurt your feelings SM? O.o

Better. Try using colors a little closer to the render (you don't have to have the same EXACT color though) and adding a few layer effects to the text (shadow, stroke). You did good though. The brushing's not bad, the render's pretty good, the text isn't too bad. You even did a 3px border, which, believe me, is something people around here need. :rolleyes:Great job. Keep it up.

Haha, trust me, when you first get into the game after reading a few decent tutorials, you think it's easy, but when you get up to my level (sorry, not trying to put myself above you guys, but I'm being honest when I say I'm a little more advanced) you realize that things aren't enough, and you have to constantly strive to make your stuff better. I've been improving MASSIVELY recently, but I'm still just a blip on the radar to some of the pro designers. It gets harder as you get better. There's my dealie. (BTW Nguyen, are you ever gonna get over my big spawn sig? )

People have asked about the little logo: Took this: And modified it.

Shhh....don't point out the fact that those scanlines are the only thing covering up the blank spot on the right side.... Thanks for the comments guys. The brushing problem you're seeing is probably how none of it's really black. It's mostly just a darker orange. Or, that's what I see anyway.

Haha, that's one of the things I can't teach. I have no frickin' idea how to use the pen tool. Guess it's just one of those things you gotta have a natural knack for.

This is the first grunge sig I've ever truly been proud of. Took me 40 layers and an hour. (There's a helluva lot more brushing and color in there than you might think.) Rate/comment/criticize.

Alright. Sounds good. (There's a tech border tutorial in the How To's section. Search for topics made by me.) I'm probably gonna post up all your suggestions (or, at least the ones I know I can do) up in a day or two, along with some of my own, then have you guys pick out your favorite few, and then a day or two after that I'll start on the tutorials. But until then, keep the suggestions coming guys. ^-^

Ah. Sounds good.

Erm...work on the text...the bg is still white...and move iron man down so his flag isn't cut off.

That's kinda funny how you say to put some logic behind it...You do realize that Playstation is still pretty new itself? Nintendo and Sega had been around since the seventies (probably earlier too, I think?) and Playstation just came and wrecked Sega's sales, and Nintendo's a shadow of it's former self right now. If Playstation (which has been a little lacking since it came out) can do that to Sega and Nintendo, I have no doubt Xbox could rip it apart. It has superior hardware,it's owned by MICROSOFT, and it has more advanced features (Xbox Live, for example.) I don't own a PS2, or an Xbox, but I know that as soon as more companies put faith in Xbox, it'll be top dog in the console wars. But, regardless, GO NINTENDO! ^-^

Cool Freaker got most of it...maybe try blending the render in a little bit with the bg, and using a little lighter bg with more brushing, and the size could be a little nicer as well.

Alrighty guys. Suggestions noted. Keep em coming. BTW, I have a render blending tutorial...it's kinda old and not that great, but it gets the job done. Search in the how tos section for topics started by me.

@leiaah -- Suggestions noted.@Nguyen -- 1. Haha, thanks. I'll be sure and remember that you were in fact nice to me. I appreciate it though. Thanks a lot.2. Well, I try. I really do.3. I'll see what I can do. ^-^

Wowza. Spoken like a pro. Break up a lot? j/k Anyway, here's my bit: I've only dated one girl, and it only lasted for about 6 months. It was the end of our sophomore year and we had just gotten to know each other a lot more. We started -going out- a lot just after school ended, and eventually one thing led to another and we were actually -going out-. I was ADDICTED to her. Couldn't get enough. So, things were good for a little while, until suddenly my mother decides we have to move to california. (financial problems, don't ask.) She said she didn't want us to break up just because of a temporary move (I'm planning to move back in a year.) so we stayed together long distance. Needless to say, things didn't work out. Eventually she told me that hey, this ain't such a great plan after all, and so we broke up. So, the point of that whole spiel is to get to this: At first I wasn't phased, because it wasn't either of our faults, it was just bad luck with the move. When she told me I was just like "Oh, and my day was going so well too..." but I didn't really mind, because I sorta already knew it was going to happen. Eventually though, I started missing her, and I still kinda do. There's a new girl in my life now, but my ex was an amazing girl, and I loved being with her. But we're not friends anymore, really. It's more like acquaintances. We still talk very often, but it's just not the same as even before we started dating. So, yeah, for my one breakup, it was easy at first, but I still can't really get her completely outta my head. I guess that's just the way it goes.

Okay, first of all, slow down, I know what you're thinking. "OOH! JOHNNY'S MAKING TUTORIALS FOR US! I'M GONNA BE A PRO NOW!" Heh, trust me, it's not like that. I'm no pro myself, I just know a few tips and tricks, and now I think I'd like to share some. It's up to YOU to learn your own style and produce some nice sigsSo anyway, I've been getting NUMEROUS requests for tutorials, because (for some reason) people seem to really like my sigs. So, I'll go ahead and make some tutorials (but not a ton, mind you. I have a life, and tutorials take a while to make.).So what this topic is for is for you guys to suggest some topics for me to go over in some tutorials. I'd like to start with some general stuff first, so you guys can get the basics down, and then I can move on to more advanced stuff. Again, I don't know everything there is to know, so I can't TEACH you everything. I can only teach you what I myself know.So go ahead and suggest. After I get a good number of suggestions, I'll make another topic, I guess, where you guys can rate them, and I'll make them in that order.Beware though, that there's simply some things that I do "spur-of-the-moment", which isn't really something you can teach. I'll try to explain to the best of my ability though.Have fun guys. I look forward to some nice suggestions. (Feel free to suggest more than one thing.)

Don't believe I've made any tutorials for text...Planning on making a bunch a tutorials sometime soon though. Keep an eye out.

Ah. I see. Wellup, thanks.

Blue, no doubt. I hate poop brown.
