lol mother that took me 10 minutes to get but that is hilarious.

lol did anyone watch south park last night? they had devil worshipping woodland creatures that were celebrating christmas by birthing the anti-christ, until santa blew their brains out. quite entertaining i must say......eric

yes i thought it was quite a good chance of winning myself, but i guess thats what i get for not staying up until 12 to finish a sig :( ....eric

nice to see you've made your 57th post about buying a sig, yet have never bought one yet. i posted one on a post a few days ago, that you can use for free if you want....eric

kinda sad i never even got to finish it. started on it last night after i saw your post, but guess i spent too long watching tv :cry: thought it was turning out quite well. sniff sniff.....eric drew the ant myself btw :D

you can either use gaussian blur on the black background or use a scattered brush for the stars. i kinda used a combo of the two, and then went back with bigger brushes for random larger stars. its a good start tho. and i dunno if that atmosphere should protrude that much into space, it looks kinda funky on the blue planet....eric

hope ya like it, ill change it if its in the running....eric

ill see if you like it before i try the avatars....eric

still prolly not good enough to make the likes of your sigs, but i sure gave it a try. I even drew the snow man by hand :D...eric

but it is less than 150 wide, and is just barely under the 30k limit. i may be wrong but im pretty sure im ok...eric

i went back and added some more clouds and shadows over the planets and tried a more austere font. o and i tried to add a sort of flare from the planet with the smudge brush. thought that was neat. thanks for the replys....eric

nice to see i already have a following that likes to emulate my work....and considering that the rest are prolly "borrowed" too. so ill go with a -1/10 for being not very cool.....eric

kinda new to this whole photoshop, but i stayed up late last night tinkering with all the toys, and i think these turned out pretty well....eric

well the red text totally takes away any and all effect the scenery would have had otherwise. it looks in now way realistic as there are just random splotches on this hill. its far off and distant and doesnt encompass the viewer in the piece, and the text covers up half the image anyways. just my thoughts tho.....eric

lol i see someone beat me to it, but i was going to say it looks exactly like simcity 2000, but i can tell its not because of the tricked out colors. Quite cool to think that you could make the graphics for an award-winning game, even if it was from 10 years ago. btw take a look at a map named 'Ceres' if you are interested in building another. Its a utopian city with some really cool aspects.......eric
