^Meh wrote this before I saw Jopies post. Indeed simple. So let me guess? You added a C4D, made some lightning/erased some parts to give it a lightning effect, added a text with shadows. Sorry we can't really C/c this as it's way too simple. I think this nearly goes under ripping too as you barely did anything. If something I would consider this one as a WIP.

1. Shading looks quite good on the first one but the lips, hair and beard looks quite unrealistic as it's just one colour on them. I'm not a fan of the yellow things in the back though because of the shading. Really good job in my opinion, looks great. 2. Large :D. Simple shading on this one, it doesn't have to be a bad thing but it makes the ear stick out as you used more shades for it. Lips yet again look weird. I think you found what your good at :thumbup:. I assume you used photoshop? May I kindly ask if you used a tutorial of some sort I was thinking of starting myself? If you did may I have the link through a PM?

1. I love the colours on this one but the flow feels slightly downwards with the "swirly" stuff in the background. The tail looks sharpened and it's supposed to be far away so you should understand. The piece is to bright which makes it hard to look at but the contrast isn't eye killing :thumbup:, lower the brightness and I'd say it's your best. 2. It's way to dark where the focal is and it's overcontrasted which gives it a really awkward look. The light on the right ide stole all of my attention which is a bad thing. I can't really point out what you've done or not as it's dark and chaotic. 3. Good looking effects and good flow but all of the vines are behind the waves which look a bit awkward and there are too many star dots in my opinion. 4. Colours go well together but the glow is really randomly placed in my opinion, border and text is meh but I shouldn't be talking :P. 5. Looks quite good but it feels tad to bright and the black line is distracting. Not much more to comment though, smudging on the left side/circles looks "ok" but could be better if you get what I mean. LP. Nice smoke effect and colours but it's overcontrasted/to bright again :|. Can't really come with more as I'm not too experienced with stocks and I'm not sure how I would comment a couple of them.

Good use of wireframe but the colour is a bit meh.

Flow is good but I think you could have erased a bit of the motion blur up at the torso/head, the arrow isn't needed either because the flow is fantastic without it. Cool use of bubble C4Ds but bad use of that lightning in my opinion, doesn't look to good if it's that strong there (steals attention), scan lines are a bit meh on this one as well. Other than that it's a decent job, I could possibly add some effects to it if you want, I'm not extremely good at it though (If it was a collab from the start).

It's 2 metal plates that's on the fat monitor if I'm not wrong and it's easy to get dust in there i you don't handle it properly. Just to warn you.

You don't really have to backup anything on your memorystick for the psp to work but I highly suggest that you backup your flash0 if you ever want to change your theme, though it's not really needed now with cxmb, I just flash my psp themes because I can mix and match between different themes and I'm way to lazy to make my own ctfs. Flash1 isn't really necessary though as it just have your personal settings but you shouldn't have to change anything there though, same goes for flash2-3 (contains different files though). You should do a nand dump as well with dc7, I doubt you'll ever use it but it's just in case.

ebay = big no no, I highly suggest gamestop over it as it'll save you both time and patience (a lot of fake batteries on ebay). No you don't need a recovery folder in game on your memory stick for the recovery menu to work, the recovery menu itself is placed in the flash0 that you wiped out, so your only option is Dc7 (Or lower of course) just remember that you shouldn't use the right trigger when installing your dc as it'll go straight to the recovery menu if it's functional.

Pretty hard to perm brick it or destroy all it's functions because of dc7. Also I'm not sure if you have a fat or slim PSP but I'm fairly sure it's not possible without some serious "modding" of the screen to make it fit properly.

Looks really plain at the moment but you nailed it with the text. 5/10 Not bad but still "plain", the avatar is also quite nice but it's shaded on a weird way in my opinion 5.5/10.

My friends, my mother, my mums dead fathers cousin, my cousins cousin, etc. I don't care what program he used. So it's good just because I didn't use that program? I hate people like you.

There aren't any major bugs in 4.01 m33 like a missing recovery menu and yes it should work on a card reader. Don't install time machine it's pretty much useless as all of the "good" homebrews have been ported to 3.xx/4.xx kernel already, it's just a waste of space on your memory card to be honest. Upgrading directly with Dc is the easiest option, but if you insist you have to upgrade to 3.52 first and then apply all the patches in order (-2,-3 up to -4 if I'm not wrong) before you can upgrade to a higher firmware but you can use hellcats recovery flasher to upgrade from 3.52 (without a patch) to 4.01 or 3.71 PS: you can't install 1.50 if your on a slim.

I've seen a couple of your posts and it seems like you hate sony without a reason (Except for the monitors) :|. The screen is a great addition, might get one for my slim and if the faceplate have something to do with it as well I'll just get one (If it isn't too expensive), shouldn't be to hard to make it fit for the slim. But I have to agree overall it's a worthless update and if someone like the theme you could probably copy paste the .rco files from future firmware updates. And you get to ask Littleboy to make you more PSP backgrounds :P And what does that have to do with anything? On topic: Well it's probably just a release to prevent Pandora, It's just one Pandora proof slim at the moment but there is still a lot of older versions out there so they probably released this one to get the attention from the older slim models to this one but I guess it's just wait and see until they bypass the pandora block, if anyone remember the "unhackable TA 82" you get what I mean. I guess it's time to get back to software exploits though :roll:.

^Did you even read his post? I found this really easy pandora installer for a computer Pandora-Deluxe-No illegal files inside (Only windows), I suggest installing dc5 or 7 so you don't fill your memory stick with all versions (Should auto boot your PSP with your pandoras battery), time machine isn't needed really as 1.50 homebrew is pretty much dead now days. And if it only bricked because you messed in the flash0 you should use this one Recovery flasher v1.21, it reinstalls your firmware via the recovery. I'm going for a while now, supposed to link some more things that could help you but my brother have a magic show I need to see.

Try formatting it via the xmb, it should work, can't really explain the other part as I haven't used the pc programs.

Well I can't really stand the fanboyism either, But I'm pretty sure the sales went sky high because of that exclusive release of "tales of vesperia" or something similar. Also can we care less about the exclusives that come to the ps3 are late?

What made you stop? Because I cannot stop doing it. I used to do it myself and eventually stopped as it was boring after a while, only remember one trick now :-#.

Woah, thanks a lot Uno :D, I'm going to write this good stuff down. I don't know too may different effects so I'll probably train using a couple of tutorials before updating it, I'll also do a update with Dsavis tips. I have to say I laughed at the hannah montana part it was rather amusing. Also I don't really like "real" renders, puts me off somehow :(, going to practice a lot with "real" stocks to remove this weird fetish though. And welcome back. PS: Credits to red for borrowing me the render, forgot to mention it :-#.

Nadril posted? that's something new, he never post on my things :(, are you sure that you didn't mistake this thread with a different one? And yes the text was just slapped on was in a hurry :P.

Nope no uniforms :D. I was going to fix the points you made there but I really like the idea you gave me with the blending, text was (as mentioned) slapped on but I keep that tip in mind. I spent like 15 minutes in photoshop this week and probably 30 minutes on my computer in total*shocked?*. Also I got pretty popular because we have a lot of PSP users in the school and my knowledge about them is endless (Nearly).

So one week of a new boarding school, new classmates and new roommates you can guess I've been social and guess what? I flirted a lot xD. So I only have a signature I made on 7 minutes and 37 seconds as I had a train to Gothenburg to catch, It's still a WIP but I'm working on a new style so I decided to post what I have so far, It still needs better blending and more C4Ds. C/c is worth it's weight in gold this time, I'm slightly tired on the "It looks nice"/"cool comments" or comments with only criticism instead of constructive criticism but of course you can post your personal opinion what you think about it without something constructive, I don't mind I'm just tired on the mindless comments :P. ^Long messy post is messy. Don't mind the bad text as I just slapped it on quickly (As I usually do >_<).

I dont wanna be a git or anything, but can we not have stuff like that posted please? Sorry "buddy" but the whole community can't change after your liking ;). I'm just kidding about that part but you need to understand the "not so serious" part of the internet. Little I'm going to post a thread with a signature and I could enter it in this one if you'd like.

Meh, I can't understand why I'm the only one that comment :|, but you can count me in whenever it's time to vote.

Don't be ashamed. I have ps extended and Gimp and use Gimp over it. Most of the Gallerys best sig makers use teh gimp. One the sig though. Bad colours, and the flow is abrubtly barred by that random line/Change of cloour. The other bad thing is the fact it is internet explorer. Use Mozzila. Please. It's because your used to gimp but I have to agree with you, gimp is at least as good as photoshop. Also I'm starting to like the interface + that my father think I should use gimp and gave me his +800 page book about it and no cracking photoshop had nothing to do about it :roll:. I also agree about the firefox part, internet explorer is pure [cabbage] to be honest. @Little no waiz, those filters and tools aren't needed, at least not for our signatures.
