Chicken

You put that together very nicely. Excellent job! My only criticsm is the text could use a little work (not that it's bad or anything), other than that it's great. -Chicken

lolz... -Chicken

The one you made is good. -Chicken

You should mention that the payment in rsc... Um, all this commotion over lil old me? I wouldn't say I'm the best at animations...I'm just ok.. here are some of the best animations i've done- http://members.aol.com/chicken925/silent.gif http://members.aol.com/chicken925/chickensig3.gif http://members.aol.com/chicken925/flumm2.gif http://members.aol.com/daniel2341/letter3.mov I like using huang smilies in animations lol... I'll see if I have time to enter this contest...we'll talk on msn j4k3... -Chicken

Just a little proof that he's not a scammer ;) -Chicken

He's paid me for sigs on multiple occasions. You're simply wrong. -Chicken

My first try at this style, I hope you like. I think it looks better on darker forum skins. -Chicken

Oh yeah, and he changes his mind about what he wants very often lol, so bare with him. -Chicken

You clearly misunderstood me. I don't think you'd know what I'm talking about anyway, it refers to the first several months of nad's sig making, many months ago. -Chicken

After your first 200 sigs, I don't know if you're in any position to be critiquing other people's text, regardless of how bad it is. lol :P -Chicken

Yes, he has paid me a ton of money for sigs lol. You can trust him. He is pretty picky though, so don't expect to make quick buck without a fair amount of work. -Chicken

That's a neat lookin sig...but why not leave it static? animations like that hurt ppl's eyes... -Chicken

Pfft, beveling just trashes the whole vector concept...seriously... But bevels are so pretty... -Chicken

Yes, all vectors. Glad you like it. And thanks for answering my question wyrm and keiph (on aim). -Chicken

I don't mean if you recreate it by accident...definitely on purpose. For example, one sig customer of mine wanted a picture of the playboy bunny logo in his sig. I looked at a picture of it, and I drew it. I didn't trace it, I just used the picture for reference. Is that alright? Here's the sig btw- -Chicken

Alright...I know it's illegal to use a copyrighted image, but what if one recreates, from scratch, an almost perfect replica of a copyrighted image. Is that legal? It's an issue of intellectual property I think because it was the original creator's idea. Anyone know? Thanks -Chicken

I'd like to join this too :D -Chicken

Just take the basic round fuzzy brush on size 2. Make the size jitter high, the opacity jitter meidum-high, the count 1 or 2, and scatter high. Then just brush all over... you can add a small glow to the layer if you want, and use a slightly bigger brush if you want bigger, brighter stars. Greg Martin tutorials are fine too, I don't like his method of making stars...it seems needlessly complicated with all the noise filters and junk, and I don't like the blue hue the final product has (if you follow the tutorial word for word like most people around here)...although, his pieces are amazing, so maybe that's the way to go. -Chicken

I've ask them many many many times and the answer is always the same. -Chicken

Thanks you all for so many nice comments. About the font- I've never been great with fonts, but I personally think this one fits for this sig. If you have some suggestions for what I could change it to, I would really appreciate it. I would also like it if someone with a reputation for being good with text (*cough* wyrm *cough*) would voice his opinion, perhaps give me a few pointers... And about it being the same as my other sigs... uh, it uses the same chicken I made for my animated sigs and wallpaper, so I guess that's the same... I don't really know how to respond to that. I guess if you make a stretch, reusing the Chicken could possibly be compared to reusing a render in multiple works, but it's not like I'm gonna start making rabbits or ducks or anything...my name is Chicken so I think it's fitting to have a chicken in my sig... If you are suggesting that I make different types of chickens or something, you could check our my devart page for a couple other styles. Uh...I'm sorry for disappointing you... Thanks again for everyone's comments! -Chicken

For real yo. It should not be taking you guys this long to figure out who he is... Especially not after seeing a few of his posts and, by god, even his work! Jeez guys, shape up. Btw, I even posted who he was seconds after he made that intro post in the Name Changes thread... (I've since removed it lol) -Chicken

Yes, yes...I was right, like usual. What a shocker. btw Danabis vs Ryan?! don't you mean Danabis and Ryan? -Chicken

lol like with text as in my buddy icon haha? silly wyrm... -Chicken

I seem to remember another clan... in fact, I believe it was this other clan that complete whooped all your arses in the competition. It wasn't even close. ...but what was there name? Oh yes, Subtle Epiphany, consisting of IDPUP, unknownmasterofnothing, and yours truly. So get down, all y'alls! -Chicken

wowza, you needed a tutorial to make that...? The smilie itself is fine, but the mouth isn't even at all, so it doesn't fit with the minamilistic qualities that smilies exhibit... It's alright, I guess. -Chicken
