You kidding me? It took forever to do that graffiti one. It was all nasty colored, and a little blurry, and crooked, and the two sides of it were in two seperate images, and....yeah... Most of my sigs take at least an hour to fully complete. Some are easier than others, but most I have to do a lot of tweaking to get them to look good. I think the new sig is -okay- but it could use some work...the whole thing has bad resolution (do you have your quality settings really low or something?) and the predator is not nearly visible enough, the 3d render looks out of place with the predator, the colors don't fit very well (especially the text), the font could be a better one, and the text could use anti-aliasing. You said you wanted to improve any way you could, so I'm being critical. And btw, you're improving. Keep it up, and maybe in a few decades you'll be as cool as me, Lord Awesomepants. j/k

Yay, thanks! I appreciate the positive feedback. I also appreciate negative feedback, as long as it's constructive, so if you guys ever notice anything I can fix about a sig, lemme know.

Good job, but it could use some texturing, and it's not very detailed...If I took about a half an hour in C4d, I could probably reproduce that easily...But nice try. I hope to see improvements.

Well, this is just a battle, and I'm not trying to do anything too time-consuming. But you can see the rest of my stuff (well most of it) at http://forums.xisto.com/topic/9816-never-fear-johnnys-here-to-save-the-photoshop-forum/ Lol, masterpiece? It looks pretty....simple. Some text with effects, and slight brushing in a corner. X.x And please, don't put your sigs where they don't belong. Only sigs from me and damann, and comments from people, should be here. Your post is technically spam. And yes, it looks a little better on a black bg, but not by much.

Hah, me too. Since I joined, I'm -always- on T17. Just can't get enough...

OMGOMGOMG. Fight Club was great. I watched the movie, and then saw the book, so it was a little easier to picture all the things in the book, but it was basically the same thing, word for word. I absolutely loved Fight Club, and I really don't quite know why...

Now, I didn't really want to post it, because I don't think it looks that good, but I don't like to leave sigs sitting around on my computer with nobody to see them, so here's another one. But I don't think I'll call this a battle sig... Which brings me to a new idea. Instead of just randomly posting sigs and comparing them, why don't we make an actual battle by posting up polls for each round, and having people vote? I think it would make it more of a "battle" than a "compare and contrast". What do you say?

Alrighty guys, it's time for one of my slick oh-so-inelligent replies to life situations. And hear me out. I'm not typing all this for nothing.When I was younger, I tried internet relationships. I "went out" with one girl, named Jessie, internetly known as foxfire. Anyways, we met on a Pokemon Yahoo group, (yes, that's right ladies and gents, Johnny was a dork, can you believe it?) Anyways, we met there, and we also hung out in this game called Graal (http://www.graalonline.com/) which is now totally lame. So we started chatting, doing the whole childish "I love you" "I love you too" "I love you more" game and basically all we did was talk about how cool Graal and Pokemon were, and how nice it was to do so with each other.Anyways, so a couple months go by, and eventually, she told me we had to "break up". So that happened, and we pretty much never talked again.Then my next 'net "girlfriend" was a girl named Scarlett. Oh dear Scarlett. (We're still friends btw) We met in Graal again, and Scarlett was a little different. She actually was my friend for a LONG time (4 years, maybe?) until we "got together" and basically, the ending remained the same, except that we recently got back in touch, and we've been chatting about how dumb we were, and we plan to go to an anime convention together this year, because I happened to move near where she lives.Next story, is my last girlfriend, who was actually my girlfriend in real life, we got together a couple years ago, just after I moved from New York to Houston. Everything was great (oh, btw, yes, real life relationships are SOOOO much better, and not just because of sex, kissing, whatever. I'll get to that later) anyways, everything was great until I had to move here. Then things got weird, and she basically told me she still wanted to be together long-distance until I came back (I'm planning to move back in a year or two), and so basically, it turned into a 'net relationship. We talked and such about when I'm visiting and all that good stuff for a month or two, until she broke it off, and said she thinks I'd be better off with someone close (which, I think, is a total lie, and she just didn't want to tell me that I was a total loser, which I was.) and so yeah, that ended.Basically, what I'm trying to say, is that internet relationships don't work, regardless of if you're going to or have met the person in real life. They simply don't work. It may -seem- like there's love, but there really isn't. You just want someone to talk to, someone to say they love you. A real relationship is totally different. You can literally feel one another's love, and express it in ways that actually show that feeling, even without kissing, hugging, or having sex. Just being with that person physically makes all the difference, and I'm not joking. I can just be out bowling or something with friends, and still be giving and recieving more love than I ever would on the 'net.And about cyber sex. Cyber sex is nothing. It's "ooh" "ahh". Nothing. Sex is nothing until you can actually feel the other person's love, which you can never get through the internet.That's my story(s), and I'm sticking to it. Take my advice. I've gone through this more times than just those three, and it always results the same. There is no real love through the 'net.(I better get some frickin sweet credits for this...)EDIT -- Oh, but there is an exception. If you KNOW, I mean KNOW, that the person is right, you might have a chance. But you still can't date solely on the 'net.

Oh, is there a trial version out too? I didn't know that...I have the full one...

Here's a short explanation. Straight from the Dooga's mouth. Hope that clears it up. ^-^

Good point. Using a medium that is mainly directed towards younger audiences is quite appalling, really. I mean, sure, what guy hasn't checked out porn (I have), but it's not meant for younger children, and that's where the line is drawn.

Okay guys, guess who got Photoshop CS2 yesterday (and forgot to post about it.) Yup, I did! Don't ask how though.Anyways, CS2 is pretty cool, it has a couple new features, but nothing too "WOWAWESOMEMGOMGOMG"-ish. The smart objects and such aren't really anything too special... They did, however, make the history and layer box into one, which gets annoying, switching back and forth, but I think you can change that...What I did notice right away, however, is that CS2 still takes just as long to load as CS did, only now it takes even more memory. Every time a dialog box loads it takes about a minute, which is a LONG time for a simple box to load up. It's almost sickening how long it takes to load up the filter gallery. Seriously.So, my advice to anyone looking to upgrade from 7 or CS, don't. If you already have those, you're fine, and you're not missing out on anything much. All you're going to do is spend more money on a slower, very very slightly modified Photoshop.***Oh, and also, for some REALLY stupid reason that I don't know, my keyboard shortcuts no longer work. That means everything from copy/paste to creating new layers to deselecting. I'm probably gonna get totally irritated and move back down to CS sometime soon.And this is all coming from a guy who, 72 hours ago, couldn't wait to get his hands on it.EDIT -- Hurgh, I accidentally started a new topic about this, because this wasn't in the Photoshop forum, and therefore, I didn't see it. I wouldn't have thought to look in Software...EDIT2 -- My Adobe "Bridge" also doesn't load at all, it just gives an error and closes. I'm sure it doesn't do this in the "store-bought" version, but still...it sucks.

Sorry, it's not up to me, and if it were, I still wouldn't do it. Hosting security issues. (thought to self - hm, I bet snlildude will be here in a jiffy with an explanation) Yeah, someone else will probably go into detail about that later. =P And about the sig, sure you may have used different brushes, a render, and color, but it's the same positioning, same text, and generally the same look. You gotta be original man, that's what makes it fun. Anyways, I'm off to work on a new one now. Laters. ^-^

Halo 2 - All around good choice Splinter Cell - Aw yeah, totally. I haven't played it on PSP though. Prince of Persia 3 - Haven't played 3, but I've played one and two. R0xx0r. Lineage 2 - Haven't played it. Decided to go with City of Heroes instead. Don't really like GC games - WIZZY WHAT!? You haven't played more than 3 games for Gamecube, have you? Gamecube has awesome games...it's just that it also has a lot of sorry games to blur it out...

Yeah, listen to Freaker. He's cool an' stuff. If you like FF, you'll like Kingdom Hearts. It's basically that simple.

K, guess this battle is another good idea from the magical world of Johnny. Lots of response. If anyone else wants to battle as well, feel free to pm me, as I have way too much spare time anyway. Anyways, here goes... Anti-aliasing. Magic word. And thanks for the compliments and suggestions, I kinda realized after I put up the Gundam one that it does look sorta odd, but I didn't really bother. I'm thinking of adding a border and changing the text's inside color to red, before I add it to my sig gallery. Heh, no, I definitely didn't do that myself. I only did the subtle 3d in the back (yes, it -is- 3d.) and thanks for pointing the edges out. That's another thing I'll have to fix later on. And yeah, I did slap some text and a pic on, but it's all about making it look good. ^-^ Thanks for rooting for daman. My competition needs some fans too, right? Lol, you can't just remake your sigs, that's like...lame. Yupyup. Make sure you've said everything before you post, since you guys can't go back and edit your posts, like us cool kids. Thanks.

And here's my round 3. Have you posted a round 4 yet? If so, I'll post mine tomorrow. I'm kinda tired. BTW, thanks snlildude, I hadn't realized the name thingy.

Hey, every child fumbles with speech. It's the same thing with n00bs. But not really.

Daman, don't just slap text on a background, and pray it'll look good. You have to -make- it look good, which doesn't seem to be the case in almost all of yours, excluding your actual siggy. That said, I'm not quite done with this, but here's round 2: I'll post round 3 in a bit, or maybe tomorrow. In the meantime, slow down. Spend more time making one sig look good, instead of making a bunch of sloppy ones. I'm guessing you use Photoshop, right damann? Check good-tutorials.com if you want some cool stuff. I find some neat tricks every time I visit, no lie.

Notice from Johnny: Come on guys, pay attention. This was in a completely wrong forum (Army System). Report things like that when you see it, don't just post. I'm surprised no other mods saw that either...) BTW Admins, we don't have any sort of Anime section...can we add one?

Okey day. Take as long as you need. Thanks. (Sorry to toot my own horn, but I really like the little face I put in there. )

*ahem* Referral.Hey Daman, welcome to my realm...*cough* um...the place where I help cool guys like Nils, OpaQue, and m^e.

Okay daman, here it is. Anything goes. ^-^ I just finished a graffiti sig, so I'll use that. Notice from snlildude87: Changed "daman" in the title and description to "damann" because there is a user named daman in this forum already, and he will be confused once he sees this.

You took a NAP, with your hand still on the keyboard? Amazing.

Posts like that are usually considered spam. Watch it. You may want to post a list of reasons why you think so.
