Hopefully Dae will pop in here sometime soon and help me set up that Random Sig. :)

i think that it looks terrific

Thanks, took bloody ages. Trial and error, then changing some bits half way through. I did use a different picture for Figo on the right but Marcus pointed out he looked startled. I changed it and think it looks much better now.

The border was fun to do, now Ive figured out how to do it. Is there a place where you can download different textures for free?

Thanks for the positive feedback everyone and thanks for that link Dae. **Goes off to check it out**

EDIT: Random sig set up and seems to be working. Thanks Dae :)

Actually Have a stroll with a Google search and see what you can find. There's plenty around, that's all I do when I want something

I had a quick look on Google last night but couldnt find anything. Although it was late and the match sticks were giving way from the weight of my eye lids.

Your Welcome Ori :)

Now, since I'm using real life piccies...*nudge nudge wink wink* :lol

Now, are you just using Kate Blanchet (spelling??) generally or are you using her character from LOTR?

Man, your photo-editing skills are really improving! Good job on that one, Or.

Oriadin

Jan 16th, 2003, 03:19:32 AM

Thankyou.

Mainly its just a question of finding the right head to go with the right body. After youve got two that'll go together, its just a case of making it fit. Sometimes it can take 30 mins, other times it feels closer to 30 years!

Fat f****** chance

:p

Nah, if you saw what I was like a year ago, I'ld say there is a good chance of that. I hope he does.

You can only get better with practise. Right?
The better people are the futher you get pushed to do better and better and better and... well, you get the idea :D

Marcus Telcontar

Jan 16th, 2003, 04:54:53 AM

Exactly. Experimetn and practice, read and dont be afraid to take risks and fail.

After all, your supposed to be too old to pick up "art" and graphics at 33. Didnt stop me and I'm even going to do some course on this to round mself out some more.

Oriadin

Jan 16th, 2003, 05:22:49 AM

You could have at least given me a chance! :p

Marcus Telcontar

Jan 16th, 2003, 05:51:45 AM

Why, you think i'm going to make it easy? Nah!

Besides, there's somethign to be said for creating things like this. Sense of achivement.

Oriadin

Jan 16th, 2003, 06:18:36 AM

Yeah. It must be good to browse the forums and say, oh I did that. I did that one too. Oh, and that one.

Marcus Telcontar

Jan 16th, 2003, 06:36:56 AM

And then you see an early one and then you wince in embarrassment.

Seriously tho, the only real thing to aim for is pleasing yourself. If your happy with something, then in the end, that's the real aim. You can only do what you are capable of doing. Which is why I'll tell you how to do a technique, but I will never tell you what to put in a graphic. Tht's really up to you to decide.

Oriadin

Jan 16th, 2003, 07:00:45 AM

Good advice. Well, I guess I'll start practising with a new sig for lilya as soon as I get the answer to my question.

Cheers Mark :)

Man Marcus... you tick me off. You started this thing only not so long ago. Before that, I was raising on up! Eve was still great but I was nudging in for a poor man's Eve... Then you came along! My nemesis! You've surpassed me you scoundrel!!! How dare you? We duel at noon....

You think this is funny people? This is not funny. I am not a clown. This is not humor.

::Slaps Marcus with a glove::

You mock me?

::Eyes Marcus' Force Frying Pan::

Uh... Good job mocking sir.

::Picks up glove::

That almost reminded me of Robin hood Men in Tights...:)

Alpha, I had an idea for a character pic for you. The mad Yank in Reign of Fire.

Alpha

Jan 19th, 2003, 09:22:03 AM

Mad Yank from Reign of Fire...? which one is that?

Sage Hazzard

Jan 20th, 2003, 01:19:31 AM

Do you mean Yankie? Meaning northern American? Meaning Matthew Mcounheyhey-howeveryouspellit?

Marcus Telcontar

Jan 20th, 2003, 02:32:04 AM

Yes, that's him.

Sage Hazzard

Jan 20th, 2003, 02:49:23 AM

That'd probably be pretty kick buttish for you Alpha. :)

That movie... that movie could have been SOOOO much better.

Oh and... I forgot to mention... awesome sig. Should have said that in the first post huh? Ooops. :lol
