Sig/Banner Requests!

[Xollence]

Hehe wanna make me one?

[Kagari]

Write what characters, words etc. you want on the sig....specifics are good http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif

I'm actually learning photoshop for school, so I'm getting alot of practice, but I'm still kinda new. I can try, but if more expereinced people are willing, i'd suggest goin to them. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/laugh.gif

[lasaire]

Hey, I thought this idea would be fun!

Since there's been alot of nice artistic critiquing of banners going around, and since I've seen alot of people working on theirs, I thought we could try something fun!

I, and others I'm sure, like making sigs b/c it's a fun way to practice my photoshop skills on a small scale, in a relatively low time-required project. So, how about we use this thread as an open forum for sig requests?

If you want a new sig, just post a request here with specific suggestions as to what you want in terms of style and subject choice, and whoever (preferably more than one person) can then whip you up a sig and post it in reply. This way, more people get more sigs to have fun with, and us sig-makers can have fun practicing our skills and exchanging tips and hints along the way!

So, open call for sig requests everybody!

[lasaire]

Xollence, I'll do you one, but I'll need specifics first: what images do you want in it, i.e. what series and characters do you want to be featured. Also, what text, other than your name, do you want on it? You could even find some of your favorite online images, post them, and I'll take them and put them together in a sig. But, be specific as to who/what you want in it!

[Xollence]

Either the 1st or 2nd Hokage from Naruto, with a similiar color theme as the sig I have down there. Wording I want it to say Xeno Genesis the New Beginnning.

Thanks so much! http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif

[Kagari]

I like this idea...normally, there are a bunch of threads brought up individually....this thread would eliminate that, and also give everyone a chance to compare and rate different sigs. If I didn't just get a new kickass one (thanks, lasaire) I'd be the first to request!

(but if you want practice, and feel you can make an even better mist-nin sig for me, go right ahead....but you'll be hard pressed to outdo yourself http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/tongue.gif http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/cool.gif )

[AlbinoFury]

I havent made a sig in awhile, so ill make 1, and only 1. If more than one person wants it, ill choose out of the most original idea, or idea i wanna do more. Idea should contain, text, character etc, as far as colors and pictures though i get to choose all those(u can trust my judgement.) aight ill decide tomorrow night whos im gonna do, u can either post here or pm me.

[Toruxxx]

do you guys think we should use this topic to show are sigs aswell? to see what ppl think about em or is there one already like that? just thinking make it like that fan art topic but jus for ava's and sig's. or could make a new topic.

[Xollence]

Yes, there already is a thread like that in general discussions. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=3932 ('http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=3932')

[Anbu Girl]

Nice idea !! http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/happy.gif

[villin]

Well I've been trying to make a Berserk sig for a long time but I totally suck all forms of ass with reguards to photoshop.

If someone wants to give it a shot be my guest. I was particularly interested in including a screencap I made of episode 1 where Gatts swings his sword just before he kills the big snake dude. Its where he swings his sword in an arc stirring up a bunch of sparks. Although anything focussing on gatts would be cool. 'Bloodthirsty' for text.

If not I'll keep at it.

[lasaire]

Naruto, you want a new sig? Quite frankly, the one destiny made for you is one of my faves on the board!

Xollence, I'll work on a sig for you, give me about 24 hrs, though, I've got big school work due later today.

[Fox Fire]

Could you make me one with sasuke with the little bloody things like in your sig?

[Naruto]

no no sig ^^
im naruto http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/dry.gif he is uzumaki naruto http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif

[lasaire]

Xollence, I&#39;ll have your sig out later tonight, and then I&#39;ll make a Sasuke one for Fox Fire, since the wise KakashiSensei is making villin&#39;s Berserk sig&#33; (Thank you, Sensei&#33;

[snoogins]

Can you please make me one too. I&#39;ll give you a wide scope. and you can do whatever you want.

I wouldnt mind an Alex Rou )from Last Exile) sig but i know that will be hard so if it is just do what you want.

And it can include either of my names: Snoogins or my real name: Joe McCormick

[villin]

Xollence thanks for the link. My previous berserk pics are now working. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Thanks

[lasaire]

Ok, from now on, if I get a sig request, since I&#39;ve got so many going on I need submissions to include:

1) The images you want me to use. Esp. if it&#39;s a series that I&#39;m not familiar with, such as Berserk or Last Exile (which I have not seen), or an extremely popular character like Naruto, of whom there are hundreds of pics. Post the images you want me to use here and this will speed up my work greatly.

2) Please be specific on exactly which quotes you want me to use as well&#33;

Saying, &quot;Do whatever you want,&quot; or &quot;I want a sig with Naruto on it&quot; actually makes it alot harder for me to come up with something. Here&#39;s an example of kagari&#39;s request, which was very specific and made it easy for me to come up with a good design.

</div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'> was wondering if anyone would be willing to make me a new sig? My absolute dream is to get a sig with those Mist Nins (the ones who used the genjutsu against team 7 and kabuto in the forest) but I can&#39;t find any good pics, nor can i make a proper signature&#33; If someone could do that for me, with my name, the words lucky or unlucky ( ) and some cool pictures or quote, I&#39;ll father your children, I swear.</td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>

Right now, I have on my list:
Xollence (in progress)
Fox Fire
snoogins
animeniac

I&#39;ll get to you in that order. Thanks for helping, in advance&#33;

[lasaire]

Here we are, Xollence&#39;s sig&#33;

That took a little longer than I wanted, but oh well&#33; Hope you enjoy&#33;

Oh, and a credit to me underneath the sig would be nice, but I&#39;m sure you already knew that :-)

http://studentpages.scad.edu/~abcook20/images/xollence.jpg

I&#39;m not liking the text supermuch, if you have any suggestions/preferences I have the layers still intact and can easily change it.

[lasaire]

The other two teammates of the Third are now Village Elders/advisors. Not a big spoiler, they appear only very very briefly in the manga later on. Those with new sig requests, please read my submission reqs&#33;

Current request queue:
Fox Fire (in progress, will be quicker than Xollence)
snoogins
animeniac

yamisoodayamhot, I need you to pick out the images you want me to use for your signature..if you want Konohamaru, search the web and pick out three or four of your favorite images of him for me to use. Having a balance between shots of his face and full body would make it more interesting. I also need to know what kind of color scheme you want and what, if anything other than your name, you want the sig/avatar to say. I can&#39;t start on your sig until you do that.

[animeniac]

ok lasaire here r my specifics. I want a naruto sig with my username and the quote &quot;My Way of the Ninja&quot;. I cudnt find any really good pics but try these....they probably dont go together well tho...if i have any pics of naruto that u like better u can use those if u want.

[AlbinoFury]

lasaire im sick right now but as soon as im feeling better ill pitch in a bit and do a few so your workload isnt so massive.

btw if anyone was looking for a general naruto or neji sig feel free to use these i made below, but make sure you host em elsewhere, if you are unsure on how to do this pm me.

Aww, hope you feel better, Albino Fury&#33; I appreciate the help, but don&#39;t push yourself. :-) Get well soon&#33;


Anyway, several versions for Fox Fire....wasn&#39;t sure what kind of mood I was in. The difference between the first two is pretty subtle, just a little less orange.

[Uzumaki Naruto]

nice lasaire, i like the sasuke one it looks so kewl

[snoogins]

OK i&#39;ll clear mine up a bit as i just read it a thought ... &quot;Joe your a retard help them out&quot;.

Ok just been looking around the net for Alex Rou pics and i notice he is also called Alex Low (could be the dub name or just a confusion with the fansubs i seen because they sound very similar spoken by a Japanese person). Anyway pics are few and far between.

If that is out of the question could i get one focusing on Ban (Midou Ban) from get backers. Im not too worried about quotes or content this is what i meant by &quot;Do whatever you want.&quot; If you can get a picture of his &quot;evil eye&quot; into the background like you done with Foxfire&#39;s sig would be fantastic

Lastly if they are both too hard could you make a GALS sig for my girlfriend featuring Ran Kotubuki. With her username Jiro (yes i know Jiro is a guy) on it

Thanks in advance Joe

[Fox Fire]

Thank you soo much, I love it/am using it.

[Xollence]

Guys if you need space to host those sigs just go here ('http://www.mediahalo.com') and upload away.

[lasaire]

snoogins, unfortunately I am familiar with none of the series you have asked for&#33; Making a sig can conceivably take alot less time than searching the net for images of characters I have never seen before.

What to look for in a source image for a sig: Fairly large. It&#39;s easier to shrink than it is to blow up. Nice and clean. Try and avoid pixel art, and images that look blurry/jagged around the edges of outlines. Also try to avoid transparent gifs (where the color of the webpage shows through. It makes the outlines of the image all jagged). Also try to avoid bitmaps (.bmp) as they are large in size and low in quality. Jpegs and .png are better.

Get backers is fairly popular, and Last Exile is growing in popularity, I am sure there are image shrines out there somewhere. Try anipike.com as a starting point when searching. Also try and find pics where the character you want is in the foreground, unobscured by scenery or other characters passing in front of part of his body.

You can either post links to the pictures you find, or post the pics themselves on the board and your turnaround time will dramatically decrease.

[Kagari]

I like that signature alot, the blue hue is awesome. I think the text is alright, you don&#39;t need to change it in my opinion...and the faded pic of the first is super badass&#33;

Question, though...who was trained by the second? It looks like the third, bt do we anime watchers know who his teammates were? http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[joshdaaznboy]

Yo, i would greatly appreciate if you could make me one with gungrave. If you do, I&#39;d like the name on it to be: Josh da Azn Boy

thx, you&#39;re probably busy so anytime is ok

[yamisoodayamhot]

OOoooOO, i&#39;ve really wanted to find a new sig and avatar for a long time now... http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/sad.gif could someone find time to make me one&#33;?&#33; if you could make one for me it would be very much appreciated&#33;

i would very much like a sig and avatar that matches, and the main theme would have to have Konohamaru&#33;

someone please respond to my cries&#33; http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_w00t1.gif

[Xollence]

Hehe looks great man, thanks a lot&#33; http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif

[KakashiSensei]

Villin here is your new sig. I did two versions of it. Dont know which one you&#39;ll like or if you will even like either of them.

here they are:
http://www3.sympatico.ca/rob.manson/berserk3.jpg

and the plain looking one

http://www3.sympatico.ca/rob.manson/berserksig.jpg

[villin]

Thank you very much KakashiSensei. I will be using the first one when I find a reliable host.

They both look just awesome and I apreciate all you hard work. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[lasaire]

Nice work, Sensei&#33; I like the rough edges one&#33;

Villin, if you look back a page or two in this topic, Xollence posted a link for a good host for sigs.

Next on my list is either snoogins or animeniac, depending on who gets back to me with images first.

[yamisoodayamhot]

WOOOHOOOO lasaire&#33; Thanks for hearing my cries for a sig and avatar&#33; I have everything I want for it already http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif &#33;

[lasaire]

Ok, animeniac, do you still want a sig made? You posted image links but then your sig changed to a new one including the images you linked to. If you still want one, I&#39;ll do you first. If you want one that&#39;s different from your semi-new one, look around for more naruto images, there are soo many good ones&#33; Try naruto-kun.com, their galleries are huge&#33; I posted some guidelines for good images a bit ago, try keeping those in mind.

Snoogins, I need images before I can start yours&#33;

yamisoodayamhot, you just got bumped to the top of the queue&#33; Thank you for submitting a wide choice of images, and I&#39;ll make you an avatar to go with your sig.

joshdaaznboy, please read through the topic and see what we need from you in terms of input and how to choose good signature images. When you&#39;ve picked out what you want, then post the images here and I&#39;ll have your sig back within a day or so.

Villin, what you need to do for your image to show up: once you upload your image to your host, view your image in the web browser, so that you see no html, no webpage, but only your image. The address in the bar of your bar will be something like: &quot;http://www.yourhost.com/yourusername/imagename.jpg&quot; Copy and paste that address from the browser bar into the [Image] box in your sig, and it should work.

[KakashiSensei]

Villin I&#39;ll host it for you dont worry. If you decide not to use my host just let me know so I can delete it.

Hey, i was wondering if someone could make me a sig.
I don&#39;t really care what color it is just something kinda dark.
I dunno if i can really repay you. But i guess im a pretty good artist and if there&#39;s a character you want fan art of i&#39;ll draw it......

Here are some pics. Basically do whatever you think looks cool.

http://www.gtmanga.com/listofmanga/Vagabond/vagabond1.jpg
http://www.hkmania.com/Autreselec/images/vagabond1.jpg
Dunno about this image. Can you try to crop is so there is no text?
http://store.viz.com/images/p/VLI/pdGNVLI0005.jpg

I dunno if there is text like this, but i would want something like this. And just have my name with the name &quot;Miyamoto Musashi&quot; in small text in the corner.
http://www.otaku-tensai.com/img/dosss/vagabond.jpg

Ok, allthough no one requested a sig with asuma, I&#39;m just starting to use photoshop and decided to post my first attempt in this fine, fine thread.

Remember, this is my first try. ANY constructive criticism would be great...some of you appear to have great skills at making sigs. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[lasaire]

Nice job for your first try Kagari, your cutouts look very clean&#33; I would work on trying for a more interesting BG, that works more with the character, though that&#39;s nitpicking a whole lot&#33;

The leaf image is upside down, did you notice? :-) And the text is just a shade too small to make it easy to read. Other than those minor things, great job&#33;

[joshdaaznboy]

wow, thx alot albino fury, btw where can i host the sig?

[animeniac]

yea lasaire i still want a new sig.I will go look for some good images of naruto but im kinda grounded off my pc...btw my sig changed cuz it was my sad sad attempt lol.....it was my first time with crappy prgrams....i will go look for images and get back to u asap

Hehe Lasaire should get the title &quot;Great Sig Master&quot;. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif

[Kagari]

Ok, I got some help from a friend, and we just practiced and threw together this orochimaru sig...I think I&#39;m almost ready to help lasaire, the sig master, with his work load. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/laugh.gif

http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/userpics/16914/oro%20copy.jpg

[joshdaaznboy]

thx AlbinoFury, but i got it figured out, i just went with mediahalo, thx tho

[lasaire]

Looking better, Kagami&#33; Your blending is getting more smooth, which is key. You&#39;re improving much faster than I did when I was first learning photoshop. :-)

Oh, and just a side note, I&#39;m not the sig master, I&#39;m the queen of sigs&#33; http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/tongue.gif

Edit: I just noticed the new version of your Asuma sig - having the faded larger face in the background really, really improves it, great work&#33;

Edit 2: Animeniac is done&#33;

Hey lasaire i dont think u saw my earlier post.

Nvm u hadnt edited it with my sig yet thanks.

[lasaire]

You did notice that all those links point to leeetttle bitty thumbnails instead of full size images, right?

If you want it to only say exactly &quot;My Way of the Ninja,&quot; that&#39;s cool, I&#39;ll change it. The images I had to get creative with to make them work.

[animeniac]

Sorry bout those images i guess i could&#39;v linked them bigger but i wasnt thinking really. Btw the sig is fine no need to nitpick over slight details.

[lasaire]

Yay, glad you like.

Dang, who&#39;s next, I have completely lost track&#33;

[Kagari]

I like that gaara sig, except the picture on the left looks a little out of place... http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/wink.gif


edit: By the way lasaire, thanks for the comments. I&#39;m just gonna keep practicing, as it makes perfect&#33; Keep up the good work, by the way...the sigs you&#39;re pumping out are all epic.


We should start a petition to get your rank changed to Queen of Sigs....it worked for Animemaster in the Boobs thread&#33;&#33; http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_laughbounce2.gif

[Toruxxx]

lol could try and see if we could lol here&#39;s a Asuma sig i made about a day after ep70 came out

http://toruxxx.mediahalo.com/image/fi68895cf3.upload/Asuma.jpg

im still trying to get the hang of makeing sigs so they aint all that good

[lasaire]

Wow, Toruxx, that one looks good&#33;

Animeniac, the main problem with that one is not the programs but the composition. Having all four characters in a row like that, all at the same level of facial closeup is boring to the viewer.

Try varying the layout of the images, and varying all those facial close ups with images of some of the characters from the waist up and full view.

[lasaire]

Toruxx, thanks for posting a sig&#33; It&#39;s nice to have both sig makers and people in need of one posting, that was my idea when I started this thread. The picture on the left looks out of place because the edge is jagged and antialiased. Take a bit more care with your selection when you&#39;re removing it from it&#39;s bg and it will be better. Try feathering your selection before you delete the bg, or blurring the edge after you paste it in with the blur or smudge tool. Try to avoid the magic wand to make selections.

Other than that, the brown BG with those smudged eyes sticks out a bit...try texturing it some.

Hehe, it&#39;d be nice to be the Queen of Sigs, though I really only made that crack because somebody referred to me as a him. :-) Heh, I&#39;m all excited about hitting the 100 post mark and making genin soon&#33; Gonna head to bed and do Vagabond&#39;s some time tomorrow evening.

Edit: Looking at your Asuma sig, Toruxx, be careful of beveled edges, they tend to say &quot;Look at me, I&#39;m a novice&#33;&quot; I try to use them as little as possible. Also, the pic of Asuma on the left, you can tell the screencap you used for him runs out before the top of the sig. Go back and either crop the sig to look like he overflows the edge (this draws the viewer&#39;s eye around and is more visually interesting) or resize him so that he touches the edge.

[Toruxxx]

thanks lasaire i will listen to what ya say http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif i would go bk lol but i didnt save the layers for that one lol im dumb sometimes, but any how thx for the tips ill keep em in mind o and i av a question how do u make a pic sink into the background if ya get what im saying lol if u dont thats cool it is 7:20 in the morning here and im tired lol.

[lasaire]

Sink into the background? The closest thing I can think that you mean is making the background show through, i.e. be transparent.

In your layers palette in photoshop (assuming you don&#39;t use paint shop pro, which I have never used), there should be two silders: opacity and fill. Crank those down and see how they affect the image. You can also add a bit of gaussian blur to the image to soften it a bit.

[Toruxxx]

woot&#33; cool thank u http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif yeah thats what i meant lol wow u actually kinda understood me when i havent slept not alot ppl can do that lol http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/laugh.gif

Edit: lol i just realised i missed the you out of *i will kill* supposed to be i will kill you too lol opps best fix that and try making it better

k this is the new one with out chibi gaara in

http://toruxxx.mediahalo.com/image/fidf902a68.upload/gaara2.jpg

still not sure if it looks right http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/dry.gif

[ZeRo786]

How do you make those cool multi-coloured backgrounds for your sigs, i always wanted to know and if any of u want gifs in your sigs just ask

[animeniac]

Hehe your previous list.

[lasaire]

Thanks Xollence&#33;

Ok, joshdaaznboy was done by AlbinoFury (thanks so much&#33;), and snoogins has yet to give me any images. So, next is VagabondLBD.

[animeniac]

My new crapass sig...It&#39;s a Hokage/Naruto one

here&#39;s a gaara one i made if any one is intrested i can put a name on it if they want to as i save the layers.

[Vagabond]

No problem, take as long as you want.

[ZeRo786]

Cool site, thanks r3n and many thanks to the sig master lasaire.

[Toruxxx]

ok just made a new sig any comments would be cool but dont be to nasty if your gonna be lol. the reflection on animeniac sig you done zero was pretty cool how did u do it?

[Kagari]

I like that, toruxx. For me, it&#39;s a little busy, because i prefer simplicity. But I do like what you&#39;ve dont with it, cool pic of oro&#33;

[lasaire]

Zero, sorry about forgetting to comment on your reflection&#33; I totally didn&#39;t mean to leave you out&#33;
In terms of constructive criticism: the reflection is nice, but if you&#39;re truly going for a water-reflection effect, what you need to do is not add a gradient, but add a bit of a ripple effect to the reflection, but keep it soft. Then, lower the opacity just a bit, make it a touch blue with hue/saturation, and lower the contrast in brightness contrast to make it a little grey. That&#39;ll give you a much better water type effect.

Toruxx, I really love that Oro. sig for some reason. Really really. The only thing I don&#39;t like is the text for your name. That bevel effect always just irks me. Try removing the bevel, and making it a different font.

[ZeRo786]

thanks lasarie and could u pleez make me a sig seeing as i suck at making them. here is my latest attempt. This sig was made thanks to r3n. To do the refecltion effect.

1.make sure u have enough canvas space so u can fit both identical pics in. then on a new layer draw out a black rectangale next to the pics.

2.flip the bottom pic and put its opcaity down to 40% and then merge the black rectangle with the bottom pic.

3. you can either do it the way i did or the way lasire told me. i did it using the gradient tool. and make sure u use the 2nd preset the one that goes black to transparcy. or add a bit of a ripple effect to the reflection, but keep it soft. Then, lower the opacity just a bit, make it a touch blue with hue/saturation, and lower the contrast in brightness contrast to make it a little grey. That&#39;ll give you a much better water type effect. Now merge the 2 pics together

4. Now go into edit&gt;transform&gt;distort and put a perspective on it like i did with animemac. holding down the shift key move the top point down a bit and the bottom up a bit.

5. if the black rectangle looks outta place draw out a marquee around it and using skew tuck it down to give that 3d effect.

i think that is it

http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/userpics/17061/onemoresig.jpg

[Toruxxx]

k i changed the font i think it looks alil better now http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/happy.gif thx for liking it lol ill pay you later lol http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/tongue.gif

[Uzumaki Naruto]

anemiac nice naruto sig i give it a 10/10 nice

[lasaire]

Toruxx, looks much better now&#33;

Zero, I&#39;ll make you a sig, but you need to find and post a selection of good quality images for whatever character you want me to make it out of, and tell me exactly what you want in terms of color scheme, quotes and exactly how it should read. Once you post the images, I can get started on it. Right now, the current queue is:

VagabondLBD (in progress)
snoogins (assuming he ever gives me images)
Zero786 (pending images)

[animeniac]

How bout this Orochimaru sig? Give me some comments and suggestions.

http://www.webpost.com/kyubi/_myfiles/images/oro_sig_copy2.jpg

[lasaire]

Vagabond is done&#33; Hmm...somehow not satisfied with this one. Vagabond, if you find a font that is closer to the font on the source artwork, please, PLEASE give it to me and I will change your sig, it&#39;ll be very fast to do so.

http://studentpages.scad.edu/~abcook20/images/vagabond.jpg

Animeniac, your Oro sig: That scatter, sketch effect on the right is very nice, I especially commend you for preserving his yellow snake eyes. However, the left hand image is obviously dropped in with no editing...there needs to be alot of work blending that part into the other part of the sig.

[ZeRo786]

Thanks lasaire, i gonna try and find some pics for you. Animeac have u seen the effect i put on ur sig, and finnaly what do you think of the simplistic kakhasi sig

[littlecooldude]

Great thread you guys. Seen some good work.

[ZeRo786]

Thanks for the site downloading a couple of those brushes as i speak, but i wanna know how you do the effect on uzmaki naruto sigs. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_dribble.gif his sig is just too good. Anyways i have been playin around with photoshop and found out how to do a refelction effect looks kinda kool. I have used animeac&#39;s sig as an example. (Hope he wont get mad at me, neva asked for permisson)

http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/userpics/17061/refelction%7E0.jpg

woot&#33;&#33;&#33; were trying are best and thx to the Queen of Sigs and woot Lasaire u got ur Queen of Sigs ranking woot&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; anyway im working on a hyuga hinata sig now post it when im done.

EDIT: k heres the hinata sig not that good i think but its still ok i guess lol

anyone know where i could get some evil ryu pics or strider hiryu pics

[Vagabond]

Wow.......... thanks lasaire.
If i find a font i&#39;ll tell you. I kinda like how it is right now though.

[SirCharlesIII]

man, lasaire, keep churning them out, your sigs are definitly some of the best on the forums, nicely done http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif

[lasaire]

WooooooO&#33; I didn&#39;t expect to actually get made Queen of Sigs, that rocks&#33; To whoever changed my rank among the admins, thank you&#33;

Toruxx, I like the Hinata sig, very nice. You&#39;ve shown really rapid improvement since your first try. I still like the Orochimaru sig best, though. :-)

Zero, hate to say it but I have no idea where you could go for those. Try looking under the Image Gallery section at anipike.com for some links.

SirCharles, thanks alot&#33; Practice is helping, I feel alot more confident now after churning out a half dozen for other people than I did when I started this thread, and that wasn&#39;t even two weeks ago.

Edit: Vagabond, glad you like it, though if you run across a font you like better, send it my way. :-) It&#39;s not showing up though, if you&#39;re having hosting issues a couple of people have posted nice hosting links on the earlier pages of this thread, give those a try.

[joshdaaznboy]

hey lasaire, do you think you could attempt a GunGrave sig for me? i mean, i know i got one, but your sigs look awsome (no offense AlbinoFury http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/tongue.gif , you&#39;re still awsome) &#33;

[lasaire]

Better, animeniac, I think the blend is much better. Though I didn&#39;t necessarily mean the choice of image itself was bad, just the blending. Cutting out that profile from the blue/yellow background would have been just as good, and the difference in view (i.e. profile and head on vs. two head on) might have been nice. Good work improving it though.

Joshdaaznboy, you posted images already didn&#39;t you? I can go ahead and make you one with those.

AlbinoFury and I have a different style, I think. His is cleaner, more graphical (if you know what I mean) with nice interface-style vector art on it. I tend to use alot more blending and texturing with lots of layers on different blend modes and customized brushes/fonts. The blue sky/Neji sig he uses for himself is I think my absolute fave of all the ones I&#39;ve seen.

SirCharles, do you have some sort of script running that changes out your sig on each page view? That&#39;d actually be pretty cool to have, that way people like josh could have more than one sig and change them out at random.

Edit:
Well, Vagabond, while I was working on joshdaaznboy&#39;s, I found a font closer to the one on the sourcework, but now that it&#39;s added I like the first way better&#33; :-P Why do I always to that?? Anyway, you can pick which one you want.

http://poop.mediahalo.com/image/fid8f1a84d.upload/oro-sig-edit2.jpg

[lasaire]

Yep, that&#39;s what I meant&#33; Much more visually interesting.

Now I think what you need to work on for future sigs is to grab some new fonts from online. There are lots of freebie font sites out there (try 1001freefonts.com) and using something other than the defaults can really jazz up an image.

[AlbinoFury]

i made a new sig for myself, thought id try kimimaro for awhile give neji a rest for a bit.

and yeh i agree lasaire and I have completely different styles which i dig, I tend to have a dislike for chaos in my work, its gotta flow or im unhappy with it. thats the cool thing about sigs, different people can get greatly different overall feels from their work. So this one was a bit hard for me i had to mix a degree of chaos in yet maintain a flow, hope i achieved what i was after.

Oooh, I like&#33; 2 Thumbs up&#33;

[Kiba'N'Akamaru]

Hey whats up? As you can tell I&#39;m pretty new to this whole message board and I was wondering if i can get a sig made. It doesn&#39;t have to be exacly what i want cuz i have no idea really what it should look like all the way done, but i might have some cool suggestions... I&#39;d like a Kiba one with him on one side and Akamaru on the other. It would be cool if you could get a clean pic from the manga of the two headed dog that they do and stick it in the middle. Also if you can work in &quot;Gijyuu Ninpou, Shikyaku No Jutsu&quot; in there it would be cool. thanks to anyone who wants to take it.

[ZeRo786]

[lasaire]

Go for it Kagari, I&#39;d love to see what you come up with&#33; You&#39;ve improved greatly lately.

One thing I like about Photoshop is that it&#39;s so flexible that three people who know the program fairly well and are comfortable with all the tools can take the same 4 source images and come up with a sig that looks completely different according to each person&#39;s individual style. (Hey, now there&#39;s an idea for a new thread&#33; :-) )

[Kiba'N'Akamaru]

Kagari your awesome, I can&#39;t convey my thanks. I can&#39;t wait to see it... http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[animeniac]

Hey lasaire hows this one for a Naruto sig?

Somehow the lil quote on the bottom seems a bit odd... http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/dry.gif

well here is it...

http://poop.mediahalo.com/image/fiedd35ec6.upload/ramen-sig.jpg

[lasaire]

Animeniac, isn&#39;t that from the Meow Mix commercial?&#33;

Yeah, that&#39;s a little strange, I&#39;d definately change that unless bizarre humour is what you are going for ;-) Other than that, your composition is very nice&#33; Good clean cutouts and a variation between all kinds of shots, you&#39;re really advancing&#33;

Now, what you need to do is perhaps add a stroke or outer glow to the blue text in the top left to make it a bit more separate from the background, and start adding some careful texturing and opacity changes for more interest&#33;

But really, this sig is a huge improvement from your first ones&#33; Nice progress&#33;

[lasaire]

Zero, the sig I made for animeniac doesn&#39;t have any brush effects on it, but four layers with images:

1) Very faint layer with kyuubi&#39;s eyes. The opacity is turned down very low and it&#39;s on top of all the other layers.

2) Black and white fox-naruto from the fight with Haku. The layer mode is set to screen and the opacity is low.

3) Red fox naruto. This is actually two layers that are adjusted to be red and orange monochrome, with the top layer on color dodge and the opacity low.

4) Layer with Naruto&#39;s determined face. This is just a simple cutout from a screencap. Nothing special.

VagabondLBD, I&#39;m working on your sig right now, sorry I didn&#39;t get to it last night but I was out all day and got back home very late.

R3n, that Orochimaru sig&#39;s really nice, and it lends itself well to the addition of text and other customizations for general use. Nice job.

[lasaire]

Zero786, the textured background I use in my personal sig is done with an assortment of downloadable brushes for Photoshop. Try VBrush ('http://veredgf.fredfarm.com/vbrush/main.html') as a jumping off point for downloading. Thanks for the gifs offer, but I have imageready, I can do them myself.

Animeniac, still showing improvement, good&#33; The Shikamaru one is very nice, though that background image looks oddly distorted. I can&#39;t stress enough though, avoid that beveled edge&#33; Resist the temptation&#33;

[r3n]

[AlbinoFury]

ill make karma a shikamaru sig, if thats what u want karma?

[Kiba'N'Akamaru]

It looks awesome&#33;&#33;&#33; But now i feel stupid because I can&#39;t figure out how to get it on there. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME&#33;&#33; oh and Kagari, I&#39;m in your debt&#33;&#33;

[lasaire]

Ok, since you asked for a critique, I&#39;m going to get nitpicky&#33; :wink:

Good choice of nice clean images, I esp. like the one on the right, but the edges of his hair are a touch jaggy, take your blur tool and gently go around the edges and that should fix it. You went a little too close with your lasso tool around the edge of Kiba and Akamaru on the left and cut out a bit of his outlines, more practice with selection tools will make you more comfotable with them. Don&#39;t be afraid to zoom in really obscenely close&#33; I think when I was doing Vagabond&#39;s I was at 1600 at one point.

That gray background is just a touch...mmm...I don&#39;t want to say cheap, because I definately don&#39;t want to come across as insulting at ALL, but it is a bit bland. Try to avoid filter effects in general, they tend to be recognizable and non-unique. Give a bit of texturing, maybe have fun with some customizable brushes (says the Brush-Addict herself) and don&#39;t be afraid to download fonts, but watch out for the 3 font rule: Using more than three different fonts will make your piece too busy. Adding glow/gradient/stroke effects can sometimes count as a different font, so be careful and subtle with them.

Above all, play play play&#33; In every one of my sigs there&#39;s at least two layers that I stuck in to experiment with images/composition/effects/brushes that I ended up turning off in the final version I posted. Just fudging around with filters on top of images, brushes on top of layers, etc. can sometimes give you cool effects that you would never figure out how to do if you specifically said, &quot;Hey, I want to do this....&quot; Plus, that&#39;s half the fun&#33;

Great job, this thread is beginning to turn into what I hoped it would: an open forum with an equal number of sig makers and requesters&#33;

Edit: Kiba, you need to have the image hosted somewhere, or have someone host it for you (littlecooldude will if you ask) and then put a link to the image in your signature.

[Kagari]

Well, to get it in there, you have to go to your profile and choose to edit your signature. The host i&#39;m using is pretty reliable, so you can just copy the link&#33;

If you want to wait, however, I might revamp it a little using lasaire&#39;s critique. I&#39;ll work on it tomorrow. Glad you like it&#33;

Oh, and lasaire, as always, your nitpicking is indeed appreciated...I already feel like my next one is going to be alot better. I did download those beast fonts, though http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/wink.gif Thanks for the criticizm. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif

[Kiba'N'Akamaru]

I&#39;ll wait until tomorrow and check it then, and also with it send me the site so i can put it on there. thanks for all the help its appreciated&#33;&#33;&#33; I can&#39;t wait to see what you&#39;ll do with it&#33;&#33;&#33; http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_w00t1.gif

[lasaire]

Yay, sig happiness. Such a warm, fuzzy feeling I have now.

Now what I really want is that script SirCharlesIII seems to have that changes out his sig on every page view&#33;

You can get most anime pictures and screen caps here. http://www.xenogenesis.com/browse/entertai...nga/screencaps/ ('http://www.xenogenesis.com/browse/entertainment/animemanga/screencaps/')

[Xollence]

Hehe, congrats on your new title lasaire&#33; http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif

[lasaire]

Thanks, AlbinoFury, and I&#39;m glad to hear you&#39;re feeling better&#33; :-)

The best place for Naruto pics is either naruto-kun.com&#39;s galleries or littlecooldude&#39;s site nartuopix.littlecooldude.com. Littlecooldude has the largest screencap collection, but naruto-kun.com also has calendar art and other manga artwork.

If somebody who&#39;s not planning on competing wants to start the challenge thread and pick out 5 or so images for all us contestants to use, go ahead&#33; Let&#39;s get this thing started. I vote it should be one of the mods who&#39;s not actually going to submit, it&#39;s more objective that way.

[ZeRo786]

heres another siggy ive done,thanks again lasaire

http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/userpics/17061/siggy.jpg

[KakashiSensei]

hey that is actually pretty cool. How did you do that effect

[AlbinoFury]

maybe we should decide here though what we want the pictures to be taken from for our little endeavor, we need to consider what anime? what characters? if we are gonna limit it that far. and then we can have someone submit pics or choose some images.

[ZeRo786]

for kakahasi the effect is called light beam ('http://www.excelsium.net/portfolio/tutorials/lighttutorial/')
takes time to make but looks good.

here is how the beam should look when u finished, the rest is just imagination. as you can see mine is very limited. so what do u think of it

http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/userpics/17061/hado.jpg

[lasaire]

Oooh, thanks&#33; I&#39;ll ask little cool dude about it. :-)

[Toruxxx]

karma if u like u could have this naruto one i could put ur name on it if u want just say or one of the other guys or me will make u a new one.

[KakashiSensei]

looks good so far http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/tongue.gif

Hey I actually was doing a strider Sig for you, even though Lasaire is doing one as well. Its almost done just need to add something more.

I&#39;m looking for a good pic. Hope you like it

EDIT all done and here it is:

http://www3.sympatico.ca/rob.manson/stridersig.jpg
If you want to use it and cant find a host let me know

[Power PMV]

Hey I propose a contest similar to the one in which Albino Fury got his title. Making a banner, sig or something like that for the GW website. (Mods gimme your opinion about this). The final showdown between the Sig Master and the Queen of Sigs, or any other contender who wants to defeat the ultimate duo of Sig creators.

What do you guys think about this?


P.S. Of course we have to wait until good ol&#39; Albino is healthy and full of chakra (if you are still sick). I&#39;m sending Tsunade to heal you right now (and provide any additional services if neccesary http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/wink.gif )

[Toruxxx]

damn kakashi thats very good i think zero will be happy with it its really good

[ZeRo786]

http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_dribble.gif what do u mean hope u like, looks awsome espically that particle effect.

[KakashiSensei]

http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/happy.gif
gee thanks guys. Was skimming through all those tutorials and mixed two together, I still wanted to do more though http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/dry.gif

And incase you cant tell, I really like using the monochromatic colour schemes http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/happy.gif

[lasaire]

I think it&#39;s a good idea, though I&#39;m a bit leery of contests since people can get easily offended and sometimes hurt in the process. :-( That&#39;s not cool. Plus, in terms of my time on the GW boards, I&#39;m just a genin in comparison to AlbinoFury, KakashiSensei and the other sig sennin-sama-tachi. I make sigs because they&#39;re fun, good practice, and I can crank most of them out in under an hour.

What I think is perhaps a more fun idea, that would allow for more creative input without the risk of hurting feelings, is to have a Sig Challenge. What I propose we do is this:
Somebody picks out between 4 and 6 or 7 high quality images of a character that lend themselves well to sig making. Then whoever is interested in the challenge has a set length of time to make a sig from those images, and those images only. The only customization would be through actual photoshop techniques (including use of brushes and fonts). I think it&#39;d be fun to see how many different sigs we could get out of the same set of images.

I dunno, it&#39;s up to whatever everyone thinks. If we had a contest, I&#39;d for sure participate. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/cool.gif It&#39;s just I&#39;ve seen contests in other forums turn into flaming wars, which I really hate. Really really. If it could be done without that, go for it&#33;

[Kiba'N'Akamaru]

Thanks Kagari, I&#39;m at school right now, yesterday was last night for me. But awesome I can&#39;t wait until later to see it, your the coolest&#33;&#33; http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/cool.gif

Yeah, I see what you mean but it has been done before in this forum (like when Albino got his title) and there was no flame war. Everyone is cool in this forum, people who flame are put in a room with Michael Jackson and Gaara together. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[lasaire]

First off, KakashiSensei, I love your sigs and I appreciate you helping out. The more people we have making sigs on the board means more creativity to be shared.


Secondly, Naruto: It was really REALLY rude to acuse KakashiSensei of claiming something as his that wasn&#39;t. I have no problem with you saying you don&#39;t like a particular sig, but give a more intelligent reason than just </div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>cuase some sigs u posted doesnt really looks so cool. </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>

When you can spell and capitalize correctly, and give constructive criticism, come back and I&#39;ll take you seriously.

An example of good criticism is: &quot;I don&#39;t like the dark blue.&quot; &quot;I think you should have picked different images to use.&quot; &quot;I think the background is boring.&quot; etc. NOT</div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>did u really made ur sig by urself? cuase some sigs u posted doesnt really looks so cool. </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>

On another note, Josh, perhaps what we should do is host a poll first on what series and character should be the subject of the challenge. It would be better for someone with some graphics experience to choose the actual images as they will have a better idea of what to look for in terms of good images to work with.

[AlbinoFury]

aight so Ive been pondering this contest thing, and I think ive come up with a format that kinda would be entertaining and not too agressive.

My idea is to kinda do it in a 3 round tournament fashion, the first round having everyone that wants in do a themed sig of a certain character(probably from naruto-fits this sites mo best) then after a week say we vote for the top 4 sigs.

Then those top 4 sig makers make a new sig on a new subject(another char, series etc.) then we take the top 2.

Then we have the championship with a really hard subject or obscure character. Then the victor is proclaimed etc etc etc. what do ya think?

Oh and i think the everyone using the same base pic for the sig for the first round is a good idea, then after that lets open it up to the creators so they can search and open up their creativity.

Anybody else got any ideas as to how to do this thing? and oh yeh lasaire dont worry bout a flame war this fanart forum is one of the most creative and laid back environments on the net ive seen.

[lasaire]

That sounds good to me&#33; Having something in several stages allows the real masters to come out, and more people to have fun with the contest.

I also definately agree that it should be by popular vote.

[AlbinoFury]

Ok pending further approval of this method, our next step would be to make a poll topic with possible topics for the first round, does just a naruto character sig sound good to everyone for the first round?

So if this sounds good for everyone maybe lasaire or I can put up a poll tonight with like 10 characters from naruto for the masses to vote on.

[KakashiSensei]

Sounds like a good Idea. If we decide to make it a specific Pic to make a sig or Charector, then let the masses find thier own pics.

[lasaire]

Sounds good to me&#33; Maybe 10 choices of character from Naruto, then a mod pics the images once the character is decided for the first round.

Then maybe for the second round, the character/series is decided but images are up to the artist&#39;s free choice, and the third round is completely free for all. Sound good?

[Power PMV]

I think that&#39;s a good idea&#33;&#33;

Way to go guys http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/wink.gif http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/wink.gif

[Kiba'N'Akamaru]

Though I hold no sway what so ever in this matter, i thought you might like an outside opinion. I think it sounds great&#33; You pros are gonna come up with some awesome stuff. Another idea for the whole deciding on characters thing if you wanna make it all Naruto-fied is that you can pick someone that is a Genin in the first round, then a Chunnin in the second, and a Jounin in the third. Well it sounded like a good idea to me anyways. Sorry for kinda butting in... http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/unsure.gif

[Kagari]

I like where this contest idea is heading&#33; sounds like it&#39;s gonna be fun.

Ok Kiba, again, i&#39;m still new to photoshop, but I took Lasaire&#39;s advice and mixed around with colours and effects.

http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/userpics/16914/kiba23.jpg

you can use whichever you like, or if you want the background to be a different colour than red (like blue, or grey) I can change it for ya. I tried to improve, but i still feel shaky in photoshop&#33; http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/wink.gif


to put it in, you take the address

http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/userpi...6914/kiba23.jpg ('http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/userpics/16914/kiba23.jpg')

and go to edit your signature in your profile screen. Once there, click on the &quot;img&quot; button, put in that link, and add comments if you want. What you put in will be your sig&#33;

[r3n]

yeah that sounds like fun. ill join in even though im quite new at PS&#33;

[lasaire]

Ooh, Kagari, much better&#33; The red really is a big improvement over the gray. It ties in with the red on Kiba&#39;s cheek-marks and the text and gives it a more unified feel. Yay&#33;

Ok, since the general consensus is that the first round, at the very least, will be Naruto based, I&#39;m going to go ahead and post a poll for the first round character selection. Pick what char you want to see&#33;

[animeniac]

Hm i know this contest thingy is gonna start soon so how bout so more practice lasaire?My friend wants a nice sasuke or kakashi sig. For the username its Uchiha Sasuke.And for the sasuke one he wud like the quote to be Power of the Uchiha.
I&#39;ll go look for some images and post them soon.

thanks

[lasaire]

Hmm...sasuke sigs are popular, and I&#39;ve got lots of images lying around, so instead of searching for some, how about giving me more concrete ideas on color scheme and general &#39;feel&#39;. For ex, does he want Sasuke with the Sharingan on, with the curse seal, what?

[Kagari]

haha kiba, thanks for the shoutout, i appreciate it. I&#39;m just glad you liked it&#33; And thanks to lasaire, as always. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Can&#39;t wait for this contest to start, gonna be great to see everyone&#39;s different ideas.

i wouldnt mind doing that sounds like fun and like Lasaire said if its gonna turn into flaming war i wont do it. but everyone seems really cool on these forums so i dont think there will be a flame war but im up for it.

But I&#39;m sort of starting at the bottom of the list, what with getting new sasuke pics and what not...but once NomoZ&#39;s is done, I can take over for you no problems....who&#39;s after that?

EDIT: Haku, maybe post some pics / quotes you&#39;d like on your sig, or some specifics that you&#39;d like to see?

The links in question are at the bottom of page 12 of this thread. Just those two right now, thanks a bunch&#33;

We really need a thread that contains submissions quidlines and an automatically updated queue, to make it more organized and easy to keep track of. :-P Thanks Kagari, I really appreciate it. If you could handle any new requests between now and this weekend, in thanks, if you don&#39;t mind waiting three weeks from now, I will either do two new sigs of your choice or draw you a fanart.

I&#39;m currently in the middle of finals for school, and I&#39;m soo busy that I can barely take the time to read the new posts, let alone make any new sigs until this week is over. Once Sunday hits, I&#39;ll be done with the work and have time to do sigs again.

[NomoZ]

hmm...specifics eh?

-sasuke in new costume
-doing chidori(if you can find a cool pic i.e. charging it on the wall)
-a quote isn&#39;t neccesary but if you find one that&#39;s cool and hasn&#39;t been used by someone else put it in
-my name

aside from that go nuts&#33;

karma ive been messing around with that shikmaru sig, if you want it i will add a couple of more pics and text on it

[lasaire]

Karma, pick out four or five high quality, nice clean images that you want made into a sig and post specific links here or the images themselves.

Right now, I&#39;ve got Zero786 up first, then Karma. It&#39;ll be a couple of days til I get to you, though I&#39;m swamped with school.

[Kagari]

Okay, this is my attempt....the layers are all still intact, so anything you want/need me to change, just lemme know. What do you think?


http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/userpics/16914/kiba%20copy.jpg



EDIT: Animaniac, Definately change that quote&#33;&#33; Unless of course you really like it, in which case, feel free&#33;&#33; http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/tongue.gif

http://toruxxx.mediahalo.com/image/fifb18e3be.upload/sasuke1.jpg

well Uchiha Sasuke u can have this one if u need a Sasuke sig.

[ZeRo786]

well here is a shikimaru sig i made but it crap, any suggestions

http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/userpics/17061/coward.gif

[lasaire]

I&#39;m not sure about the quote in the middle, and teh bright colors of the pixel animation tend to make it pop out too much, you may want to up the opacity of the right hand image to make it still a touch blue to tie in to the bg, but brihter to link the animated. Also, go back in and smooth the edges of that right-hand cutout with the eraser, or blur, so that they aren&#39;t all jaggy.

[ZeRo786]

i&#39;ve added the changes

http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/userpics/17061/coward%7E1.gif

[lasaire]

Much better, but now that the text is removed, you can see that the far rear image of shikamaru, the screencap you chose for that cuts off his shoulder sharply. I try to choose screenshots that do not do this, or crop or otherwise arrange the picture so you can&#39;t tell. Remember, seamlessness is key&#33;

Edit: I didn&#39;t necessarily mean take out the text entirely, just the quote seems a bit off. Shikamaru&#39;s far from a coward&#33; Maybe &quot;Number One Slacker&quot; would fit him much better.

[ZeRo786]

well he called himself the number one coward, in one of the episodes think it was 70.

[lasaire]

Are you a mangareader?

Actually, he called himself number one and running away. The newest story arc in the manga certainly proves Shika&#39;s no coward, that&#39;s for sure.

[Kagari]

I noticed that Zero made a shikamaru sig....maybe it was for karma? There doesn&#39;t seem to be any more requests, so maybe I&#39;ll make up one as well. Unless there are any that I&#39;ve overlooked.... http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif

for you, zero, all I can suggest is fixing that cutoff shikamaru, and maybe fiddle around with some different effects. the watery style is cool, but doesn&#39;t really work for shika&#39;s character....I like the pic on the right, though....it looked cooler when it wasn&#39;t as blurred http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/cool.gif

[lasaire]

Whoa, Kagari&#33; That Nomoz sig is FABULOUS&#33;

I hereby pronounce you journeyman-and-then-some sig-maker. :-) Dang, I;ve been using photoshop for 5 years, and I go to art school, and I KNOW I didn&#39;t improve as fast as you have been. (lasaire is majorly impressed) Rock on, and if you don&#39;t enter our challenge, I&#39;m gonna be disappointed in a major way&#33; I&#39;ma ll pumped&#33;

[NomoZ]

OMG thanks Kagari&#33;&#33;&#33;

[Fox Fire]

Could someome make me a udon sig?

[Kagari]

haha Sure foxfire, I&#39;ll make one up tonight.

all phear udon http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif

[lasaire]

What is up with this Udon thing on the boards? I feel like I&#39;m missing out on an in-joke.

[Haku no Fuyu]

WOW&#33; I couldn&#39;t have done better myself&#33; It&#39;s got a moody tone, and my name *giggles*. Thanks&#33;

[Kagari]

Thanks for the compliments, Lasaire&#33; Coming from you, it means alot, I&#39;m glad I can make you proud, Lasaire-Sensei http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/wink.gif I credit ANY and ALL advances in my sig-making to you&#33; And don&#39;t worry, I plan on entering the contest, it seems like it&#39;s going to be alot of fun&#33; I can&#39;t wait.

As far as the next couple of sigs, I&#39;ll get to work on them as soon as I get home from school. I have a cool idea for Karma&#39;s one...

Oh and Toruxx, I LOVE that haku sig you made, it&#39;s really great&#33; I like the effect in the background.

[AlbinoFury]

The udon thing is in response to all the itachi and whatnot fanboys who kept saying that &quot;insert character&quot; is god and will defeat anyone. So a few guys mess with them by saying that udon, konohamarus math ninja friend udon could own them all, and they in turn photoshopped some pics to support this etc. quite funny.

They made me change my sig http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/sad.gif btw, it made me sad, but i agreed, back to neji&gt;&gt;&gt;

[animeniac]

When will the first round of the sig tourney officially begin?
I might have a go at it although im sure im gonna be a drop out http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/dry.gif

[lasaire]

Littlecooldude is picking images at the moment, he&#39;s going to create a new thread and sticky it when the tourney is ready to begin.

Subject is Kakashi-sensei, so that&#39;ll be lots of fun&#33;

[animeniac]

Btw lasaire i took ur advice and went to 1001freefonts.com and i downloaded one or two but now what do i do ? http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/huh.gif

i feel stupid......but it was too be expected http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/tongue.gif

[lasaire]

You&#39;re running windows, correct?

Go into your C:/WINDOWS/ folder and there should be a folder called fonts. Drag and drop all your .ttf files of the fonts you downloaded into that folder to install them, and voila&#33;

[animeniac]

Thanks lasaire u sure are smart&#33; or maybe im stupid? http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/wink.gif Well this just goes to show that u learn sumthin new everyday

[lasaire]

Nah, I&#39;ve been using Photoshop for 5 years, since version 5.0, so I learned all this the same way as you.

If you are downloading brush files, put all the .abr brush files into your brushes folder (it&#39;s in your Photoshop program file, in the presets folder) and then open up your brushes menu and select the little top right trangle to load the new brushes into your pallette.

[lasaire]

Toruxx, that looks really nice, good job&#33;
The only thing I can think of to improve is to go gently around the edges of Haku&#39;s hands making the seal, and soften up those jaggies with the blur tool. Otherwise, very nice. I like the softer color choices especially.

[Uchiha__Sasuke]

hey lasaire im Animaniacs friend so wat time can u get the sig done .... no rush i can wait.

thx http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_gap.gif

[Toruxxx]

thx lasaire trying to fix it up now http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/happy.gif should i use the blur tool or smudge tool? to do it im thinking of smudge but u know more then me lol

[Uchiha__Sasuke]

http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_gap.gif thanks alot toruxx http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_gap.gif

[lasaire]

Blur tool simply does just that: blur the edges.

Smudge tool actually pulls pixels..it almost feels like finger-painting, and is directional. I.e. the direction you move your mouse, the pixels will follow.

[Toruxxx]

k well i did what yah said any better? i edited the last pic.

[lasaire]

That&#39;s the idea, but you blurred his hands a bit too much...let me make you an example.

Edit: forget the example, taking too long :-)

What I mean was, take a really small blur brush, like maybe 2 pixels, zoom in to like 300-400 times and just touch the edged of his hands and hair, the very very outlines, and those jagged edges will soften, without actually blurring the interior of the image.

[lasaire]

I switched out my sig...what does everybody think?

Once I make a decent number, I want to do the random-switch thing that littlecooldude has going on.

[AlbinoFury]

nice lasaire.

ive already finished a first draft of my round 1 sig, I used one of the pics in a pretty cool way, but now that ive toyed with the images i hardcore wanna see what everyone else comes up with. of course im gonna hold off submitting mine till i polish it to a shine.

[lasaire]

Same, I&#39;ve got some rough ideas but I want to get something really unique out of it. I&#39;ll definately be tweaking it right up to the last minute.

[Kagari]

I like much...


ok, I started a shikamaru sig, and the vision i had didn&#39;t quite turn out, and I KNOW much is missing from this sig. suggestions are always appreciated.

http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/userpics/16914/shika%20copy.jpg

[AlbinoFury]

its not bad. i think its trouble though is it tries to have a focal point but it doesnt know which one to use so it ends up a bit jumbled. also the font isnt very clear. but ur premise is good it just needs tweaked.

[Kagari]

I actually think I&#39;m going to drop the sig and consider it experience. It didn&#39;t turn out like I imagined, and I&#39;m gonna start over. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/unsure.gif

Thanks for the advice though, I&#39;ll remember it. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Fox Fire]

Unless you&#39;ve already starded nvm kagari.

[littlecooldude]

Any suggestions of sites with good brushes?

[lasaire]

Vbrush ('http://veredgf.fredfarm.com/vbrush/main.html')

I got almost all my favorites from here. It also houses the brush search engine, which I, not coincidentally, used to find all my other ones.

Have at it&#33;

[SirCharlesIII]

man i hadn&#39;t done a sig in several months til today, here it is, a request from StoicDan..

True strength, I or many others on this board will make you one, but you need to first:

Find the images you want us to use and post them up here. Try to pick images that are clear and large in size, and that aren&#39;t animated or transparent gifs or bitmaps. Images with .jpeg or .png extensions are the best.

Secondly, we need an idea of what you want in terms of color scheme and general theme, and we need to know exactly what you want it to say.

Littlecooldude and various other free providers will host your signature for you once you get it made, and then you will just link the image in your controls to have it show with each post.
