Hmm, have you tried playing other CDs, and got the same error? Cause, like you said, that Tony Hawk game is rented. And, rented CDs usually come really scratched up, sometimes to the point that renders the CD unplayable. Even if, the ps2 is better at reading CDs.

The color is a bit odd for me, but at least it's not monochromatic . Usually, patterns over the render isnt a good thing, but i guess it supports the text. The text: "create", could be better vertically centered.

I believe this is a good place to put this topic. But, i've made 2 avatars for Admins and Mods. Encouraged by Wassie. I'm not really sure how to post images from the gallery here at Xisto into posts, so i'll just provide a link to my gallery and hope that's sufficient . My Gallery.

In photoshop, open up the GIF image. Make a new layer (transparent one), and move the GIF image on top of the new layer. Then, use the polygonal lasso tool to erase any white spots from the GIF image. Then when you save for web (file > save for web), make sure transparency is checked. The only problem with GIFs is you might see small white spots on the image, when viewing it through on a web page that has a background color other than white. That's when you'll have to go back and continue editing the GIF image.

8 different color balance layers?! Hmm, looks like you used like 3-4 only.

Impressive work. I love how you blended the text into the render's hand on the 3rd one. And i see you're fond of pixel stretch.

I like the smallness of it. Everything is good, cept the thing that bothers me is the render. The green doesnt seem to go well with the colors of the render. But, i like how the grunge looks like smoke, perfect hiding for a ninja.

I'd just like to mention, that eventhough Internet Explorer doesnt have the extension 'AdBlock', you can still block sites. Though, it would require more manual work to block a site.

I, too, was a dial-up user so i know how it is. Because of that, i always try to design for 28.8k users. I use which ever image format, and different methods of compression that will help decrease the amount of time needed to download the image(s) while still maintaining a nice amount of quality. I browse the forums with signatures turned off. Though, i too, like to see other people's work and achievements. I mostly see it in the show-off section, or i view one's profile.

I'm liking the first one, n00b. It has nice depth, and nice brushing. Coloring isnt bad either. The second one is ok, but could use more white brushing, and maybe more color.

I must say, you have an impressive work of sigs. I see you're fond of making animated sigs. Keep up the good work. I hope to see more activity from you here at Xisto...(?)

Hmm, still no voting done for sotw 12. Hopefully, there'll be at least one vote before it ends.

Hehe, again glad to have helped. Like samma metioned, it is awesome. *Puts it in my 'gifts' chest.*

We're fine here as it is. We'll let the others take care of their own problems. We dont need to get involved. Also, many people here have gotten better, and i expect that to continue. Plus, everyone has their own way of making sigs, even you frozen. That may be why they all look the same to you, but that goes both ways.

I had noticed it late, but his sig passed the maximum size by 50 pixels.

Discuss SOTW #13 here. Please, dont flame. Thank you.

Here are the rules for SOTW #13: Sig size min: 175x75 max: 400x150 Brushing: Tech + Another Style of Choice Text: Must have at least your name. Render: Any Theme: Hi-Tech Entry due date: Entries will be closed for voting on Sunday, November 6.

Congrats D3moxx, reward will be given. Winning Sig:

SnlilDude87: Saint_Michael: Reaver: Truefusion: Avalon: Must have a reason for votes to be counted. Also, please try to keep the scores at the end of your post. Notice from rejected: Opened topic and removed Hmmz entry.

Seeing that the link you provided is broken, i believe i was still able to gain the render you wanted to use.

Agreed with the text still being hard to read. Instead of adding a ghostly effect to take up space (which the outcome isnt good), you could have placed like the M&M logo under the text, or something. Also, your sigs could use more combinations of styles. It seems like you use just one brush set.

Not bad, i like your trendy styles. Just one little thing that bothers me. The scanlines over the dude's face. He seemed to have a 3d feel, but the scanlines makes him look flat.

Is that your first? But, i must say that's very good. I like how you acknowledged the light and added a shadow behind the render. Also, nice use of the pixel stretch, and good call on that dotted pattern.

First to 5 votes wins. //Saint_Michael + Samma]: //Truefusion + Reaver]: Give a reason for the vote.

Hehe, can you say "ownage"?
