PKZeppelin's new signature!

In fact it's only second sig made by myself, so it's beginner-level. : I used GIMP 2.4, choosed retro-style font, some tricks with blur and distort, going to sleep now :sleeping:

Here it is

Very nice. Much better than anything I could pull off!

Great signature! Where did you find the tutorial for the letters?

 

I did it by myself with wind effect...

 

How do you get it to work. I tried letters on mine, but for some reason, it doesn't load right when I download it on from image shack to the forum. It comes out pixelated :\

 

Awesome sig! Welcome to the Zerg if you are!

 

Try to use antialasing filter and save your image in .png format. I tried to save mine in .jpg, so rounded corners was pixelated, but .png takes more space.

 

I have to say Its awesome, especially for your second one.

I coudln't draw a stick figure well, or for that matter, a sig.

So I won't

 

Lol, watcher. Sounds like you have as much experience as I do. I've tried to make one, but the only access I have to make stuff is paint, and I'm having trouble getting it to work. Yeah, I'm a noob

 

I actually don't like the text too much, it is counter flow. Your sig has a left to right flow with the head and tail while your text goes up & down.

 

Great! You're very good.

 

looks great!

 

my best achievement as far as graphics go was redrawing 8-bit characters pixel by pixel
Laird's note: pixel meaning very little square, about 2x2

but it's pretty much the same as retyping a piece of text ^^

 

There is no transparency in jpg format and the one in png is not done properly (displays plain white) in older IE browsers. Since your signature doesn't have a lot of colours it might be a good idea to try saving it as a gif.

 

dude, the text effect was awesome

 

it's pro-talk ursa, they see it on different level

 

yeah ursa...i think that guy is a software designer/ computer application thingy..

dont wanna mess with tha proz =P

 

I tried to save in .gif, but rounded edges looked bad, dunno why. In other hand, if dude is using IE6, it's his problem that he don't update it to IE7, not mine.

 

Transform everything into png huh? Well I chose a random hosting site (imageshack) and that doesn't do that. In fact I'd say very few sites would do such a thing ;D

But each to his own I guess. I like gif sigs because they occupy less space and it kind of shows that you can do cool stuff in a small image. Tip: you can preserve the smooth edges if you stroke the outside of the image with a darkish grey. Here's an example.

That's the worst attitude towards constructive criticism. He may know a lot of stuff... so what? The aim of the picture is to entertain/look nice. It did that to PKzeppelin so who cares about 'flow' and all those fancy stuff? I'd also like to add that there haven't been too many images around that SD liked as they were.
