just a thought but I always thought the scene where she says "Dodge This" would be a good frame to use. always thought that since arya came around :)

Besides, I have that statue ^_^

Ahhh, I got that screen shot. It just isnt the easiest to do anything with however - I was definantly considering it and tried except I couldn't really think of any good way to create a sig out of it.

If I get a good enough idea, I'll try again with that particular screen capture.

:: Goes away to stare at Dodge This and hopes he gets a good idea::

Oh yeah. Who's bad :D

Glad that staring at the pic while reciting "Dodge This" repeatedly helped ^_^

Not bad at all. Your sig-making stock is rising.

I hate how others who do sigs and stuff improve :)

I just wish I was genuinely graphically talented as Ogre and Eve are. I also wish I knew more about Photoshop, which is admittedly a highly powerful, but bloody complex tool.

Although this time around, I learned about manipulation of colour curves. What I'm trying to do with each graphic is find a new function and try it out and see what it does. I spend two hours just hacking around before I really got into doing Arya's sigs.

On Helenias', I spent 4 hours trying out different things, I did three different pics before I struck the final idea and even then, it took three attempts to get it right. That was about 3 hours in itself.

From this....

to this

There was a serious amount of work and hacking in between. I suspect if I was actually talented, the time taken would be a lot less.


Edit : Gah, that reminds me... I need to get Helen's under the graphical limit. x_x

Well my problems are the text and attention to detail. Two major factors :)

No point me asking for help either. You all use PS, I use PSP6. Wont change, I was even worse with PS :)

Just one opinion on the Dodge this sig. It's nice, my favourite of the lot, but I would put something in the big space on the right. But that's me

Marcus Telcontar
Feb 17th, 2002, 05:09:52 PM
Okay, let me go have a looksee and see if anything I have would be suitible.

Hey, why is it that they turn out darker after I have them on the server? the original jpg looks lighter all the time

Frank Harrigan
Feb 18th, 2002, 03:24:41 AM
A friend of mine had a similar problem

Marcus Telcontar
Feb 18th, 2002, 03:28:08 AM
Well, it's got me jigged. Maybe it's the type of server. I'm going to have to look into this

Frank Harrigan
Feb 18th, 2002, 03:36:35 AM
It could be your program versus your browser

Marcus Telcontar

No, it's definantly coming out of the server darker. I just did a back to back. It's like not much, but it's notible.

Given I do turn my LCD screen down in brightness cause too bright strains my eyes, it may be for everyone else the brightness is coming out right. But the weird thing for now, my server is definantl;ly sending out smeothing different to what's been saved locally. This has really got be puzzled, I'll have to find out why.

Edit : Oh wow. The whole lot looks soooooo different on a CRT screen instead of a LCD. Man, there is a world of difference!!! I use laptops only these days, this is the first time I have hooked up a CRT in like two months. Whoo, I had forgotten the difference in clarity.

Very good DT, Like them all.

Especially Helen's sig.

I am a sucker for Liv Tyler...

I think I have the darkness issue worked out. I'm just goign to do a slight tweak to the server and see what happens.

That's as small of a sig as I can make and be halfway satisfied with, still over the limit as a 33k.

And I use a prog named ULEAD >_<
