Don't humiliate him with cheap jokes, he's Mxm.. :P It's not his greatest work for sure, the last one of his I liked was the vault one, or maybe the begginer mage one. But there's somthing on his newest ones I don't like at all :? What nadril said is a part of it, but there's something else I don't know how to describe...His sigs had an extra before, now they are pretty much normal.

Thanks for the tips people :) Nuzza, what exactly I have to do to clean my lines? You mean removing double ones and such? I'm gonna work on this avvy later today, or tomorrow morning, I'm trying to finish today a sig I have been working on for the last 3 days :) EDIT: Posted sig :)

I'll upodate the avvy again later :wink: Currently I'm working on a sig, when I finish it i'll post for c/c. Thanks for the replys :D

Thanks! :D I'm really impressed with people's reaction, I wasn't expecting such a positive feedback :)

Thanks for the c/c Terley :) I made a little update on the mouth, and added a more visible border (the first one was 1 pixel large and was almost the color of the sky), it's not 2 pixels, too big? What you think of it?

Blazer and Stevester, I have made the legs and feet little to make it a little bit more funny, and to make sure you understand the human proportions aren't a priority :wink: How about the shading I used? Is it enough, or shall I shade more? I'll begin working on something else today, and will post WIP soon for criticism. Thanks for the replys :D

I like it, it's different of anything I've seen in this boards before. Also, it has a fun factor, wich is important and makes any sig much better :) When you have time, add a cabbage farm to the background and you'll have a perfect sig :wink:

There's a timer thing under the little images :wink:

RS rocks: I have :P Even my dad found it nice when saw it (he usually can't care less about my comp.. :lol: ).

Yeah yeah yeah, I know pixel is outdated, but I decided to give it a go anyway :wink: I made this little to see how hard it is, and as I have problems with human dimensions and proportions, I made it really cartoony, also, it's non RS related as you can see :P Here it is: Little update: UPDATE: I've been working on this sig for the last 3 days, about 2 - 2 and a half hours per day. It's about my character enjoying his extra free time, as now I'm not playing Rs as much as I used to:wink: Here it is: PNG full version: Gif a little compressed: What you think of the sigs? Give me constructive criticism and hints on how to get better please :) If you don't like it, please post and tell me what's wrong with it. Thanks :D Now I see why you owners of sig shops get so mad about requests! It's a load of work to make a pixel!!

Whats pillow-shading? :oops:

Dude, stop getting mad when you see people don't like your critics. If you can't beat them, join them, just set that as your wallpaper. :wink: It looks even nicer there :P

Let me give an example that might clear it up for you. Let's say a blue phat costs ~70mil right now and that you can buy steel bars ~550gp ea. That means you could buy ~127K steel bars with your blue phat. However, if you would make all those steel bars into steel plates you would get 900gp per plate, or in other words, 180gp per steel bar back. This (intrinsic) value should be subtracted from the total value of the steel bar, because it has nothing to do with what people would be willing to pay for a steel bar if it didn't have 'mysterious high alch values'. So a steel bar would cost ~370gp then. The blue party hat doesn't have any mysterious high alch value, thus its price is still 70mil. Now dividing 70mil by 370gp ea, shows that you can buy ~189K steel bars with your blue phat. Your blue phat can buy nearly 50% more bars then it may seem in the first place, thus the worth / buying power of rares is actually a lot higher then it seems too. Oh i got it now thanks :D As there's no money return on rares, their value is really what you pay for them, while with things like bars or bows there's a return by high alching, wich makes it cheaper :) Thanks for the explanation, thinking stuff like that prooves that you really deserve all your wealth, and shwos what a real merchant is like :wink:

Intrinsic - alch value, the amount of gold pieces it represents if you convert it to cash real - it's actual market value minus alch value Might be a confusing use of word. I understood that, thanks :wink: I just don't get why duke says it means rares are even more expensive than they seem.

Then the real value of rares is like 0,000000001% of the value they are sold. But why that means rares are even more expensive as they seem :?:

Looks even better on my desktop :wink: Thanks loads :D

Have my babies. They need to learn how to be teh uber l33t :lol: It's just incredible. Can I use as wallpaper? :)

How come it is your first? The shading is perfect dude! I really like it, hope to see some of your work soon, you'll get really good I'm sure :)

It's fairly simple, still, looks good :) I'm against the use of renders only when the render is the only good thing at the sig, if they are surrounded by a nice masterpiece, it's OK, even tough I don't use renders anymore :wink: Anyway, I'm sure many people will flame you by having used this render, people will say your art is over, you are now reduced to that, etc.

Takes a while to figure out...but yeah :lol: I liked the japanese princess better, Princessa. I don't really like the expression of this one, still, it looks amazing :) Again: Parla!

I asked for cronstructive criticism lol... J272, It really looks like a new program now, loads of new features :) The blue is there...hmm...I don't know why :P It would look weird if only using grayscale :wink:

Really nice source of brushes Chunk, thanks :)

Well, I usually use a lot of brushes on PS to make sigs. This time I decided to make it different, I used no brushes, just filtering (really little amount), a lot of pencil drawing and some blending. I loved the way it got, looks much better than when I make sigs just with brushes and blending, I feel that I finally found out what photoshop can give me :) Here it is: What you think? Please give me C/C and rating :)

Exactly, that would look much better. The squares placed as they are doens't look really simplicity effect, look more like randomly placed draws. If there were large and small squares not placed in that regular order it would look better in my opinion :wink:

You can do wonders even without great brushes if you read some tutorials. good-tutorials is where i got started :)
