The_Jeppoz

1st one is better. Maybe a bit 2 bright. Good job but don't use it here :P The link invasion will kill all of us !!! :shock:

can't find the screeny...however i think a money fake is easy to do... :roll: EDIT :Found it...looks allright but rune's screeny are so easy to edit.

There's already 2 sigs around with the EXACTLY SAME PICTURE...and colorscheme...so please don't throw another one in...

Try ad-aware or spybot to get rid of adware, minor trojans, highjacking stuff that norton lacks to catch. Else u can simply use google with "happy removal" or some similar keywords till u find one of the many forums where the removal operations are explained. Last resort is this : try to work in regedit and change the right string there (but u gotta know what you'r doing else...bye bye pc ;) ). This kind of stuff is pretty easy to neutralize from register however... Wrong forum btw...

Did he post a screeny ? where ? i kinda missed that then...however giving a mod the whole money before the competition would save us every problem and also avoid the sample stuff that , imo, kills pixelart :)

sorry to get into this but... I happened to check your Rs account, rs2k and i found out this : Skill Rank Level XP Overall 236,996 498 1,705,773 Attack 178,451 47 76,266 Defence 212,179 42 47,718 Strength 278,975 46 68,007 Hitpoints 291,063 45 63,708 Magic 314,324 33 19,015 Crafting 80,338 41 42,299 Smithing 15,691 61 311,323 Mining 12,561 73 1,048,093 Since the total money u promise is around 2.9 mils cash...i'm just wondering...do u realy have that money ? if yes, since this thread has turned into something serious and involves a lot of work from the submitters, what about u have a mod check or u give him the total cash before the tournament then he pays the submitters ? I personaly don't know you and have no particular reason not to trust you, but with those stats there's a reasonable doubt. You might be a merchant aswell or a staker, but we can't know for sure. Hope you get the point of this post. Sorry but i think it needed to be pointed out somehow. Bye -TJ-

Grandma if that belly is realy yours despite your username...well...would you marry me ? Back on topic...Link are you still keeping the breath like u did in that pic to prefent the fat rolls to show ? :P

Dunno dude...6 hours spent on that...i couldn't realy call it a lucky strike. You still tried and tried over and over and somehow got to a result. with lucky strike i mean...10 mins of messing here and there...w00t masterpiece...(still it's a 99% accurate opinion). About your siggy i might have missed your posts recently or you might have missed to post in the right threads :P and...well...i know there were smily sigs long before you started...but don't hide behind a finger...your lovely sigs turned it into a trend :)

Wish you read all i wrote more carefuly... However just to point it out once and, i hope, for all, i was talking about mediocre-average results. Every form of art has its good results, and they come trough labour, time and talent, no matter what platform/style u'r using. Good stuff doesn't come from nowhere or just for a lucky strike. Again please read all that i write before posting such things, not that i took it like an offence lol, just saves time to both. I keep stating these things all over the boards durning each of the common pxl vs abstract wars...About your sig...the tail + line zone looks glitched. fix it somehow cause it looks like the tail, there, has been faded somehow. to Azvi : Thx for your comment and i just noticed you finaly had that shrimp sig up and running, very nice :) And i didn't like those who flamed or ranted cause of the smily trend, even if u have to admit that, yes, u started it, but in the middle of the rush every1 tried a smily sig...I myself succeded avoiding the sigs but ended up making a couple msn display pics lol (Not achieving your results gotta say...).

as said ^^^^ there's already a sticky on help board (yes that board has many info about media board that lot of ppl has been looking and asking around for ages lol). Plus if i'm not wrong many uploaders were banned on the past boards so i think it's the same here. Nice work there but i'd personaly use only the ones that tip.it raccomends and allows (would also save you some trouble when u don't understand why your uploaded image doesn't work...). http://www.imageshack.us should satisty all of you however

Very nice sigs even cause i did draw many drags exactely the same way lol (not here, that's not a rant...it's just , ehi i like it lol). Probably the best of your sigs if you fix the anatomy of the warrior that's all messed up, expecialy the head that's sooo tiny and wrong turned. Remember that if a red drag bumps out and u've already scratched his face...it's difficult to be so relaxed so try to give some...mmm...phatos to the guy face :) About the mage...i think it's the worst sig of the 3, still being very nice, cause there's no bg at all but a sky and i presonaly love your grassy mountains. Keep up the good work mate !

Lol I add the beard because they all have it. And I've killed "the rune guy" so much I think I'm gonna name him Kenny. Yeah...poor Rune Guy aka Kenny...Rest in peace till next sig bro... 8)

As an MsPaint pure i'd say... OUTRAGEOUS !!! :P Plus u copied misterX's black knight...that's not good... 2/10 cause it's not pixelart 5/10 if we consider it as photoshop art, cause i find the bevel pretty...w00t...looks like some kind of 3d patch :)

I don`t see how you can say making a decent pixel sig is harder then making a good grunge or abstract sig. Most of the time yes it is, but thats not always the case. Decent and good ain't the same thing. Go back on my post and read it correctly. Again YES...pixel art in order to get same results is way harder. I discover nothing with this statement. That's simply the truth. I know that, you know that. So please drop the mask even cause u don't do "decent" stuff unless you've got 10 mins to spend so u shouldn't bother about that sentence. I know good and great abstracts (well i personaly don't agree with grunge coming along) take their time aswell and i strongly respect the good works in that teqnique and their makers. U should agree that while good artists make their own renders, their own Bgs, their own brushes and develop their own brushing tecnique, some1 not as good could simply work "hard" getting premade renders, tutorials and brush sets and copy some1 else work to get a similar result.

Lol Jeppoz they should make you a mod, or at least the Media mod, no joke. :) I agree about the abstract/pixel difference, and am aware some of my lines are not fully clean on diet. If I had more time I'd probably clean up more but I try not to make fat lines too often. I see it pixel sigs as more as art pieces instead of sigs, so I try to leave it with some "drawing" in it. To the person who said about me making sigs with my drawings: I already had a shop like that but it took too long to make the drawings, but sold 3 sigs. Pixel sigs are much faster to make and more efficient in terms of resources. I also believe pixel sigs can only be made by people who have had previous drawing/art experience for a long time, I know that if I didn't know how to draw I would never have started pixel sig making. Thx ... wish i were lol...i noticed that i realy love the fireman work here against flames and stuff like that lol...(ehi i'm here, any1 ? lol)...however...your "fat" lines stay nicely together with your hand-draw style that's pretty peculiar. I don't realy love them as you can see in my sig where every line is checked twice...but that's just me and my style. In your sigs they have a porpuse, plus i wish i could draw as quickly as you do (i'm not a bad hand drawing guy but i have the feeling you get your results faster than i do....well i used to draw a lot ages ago now i don't so maybe it's cause i'm rusty lol...however...respect :wink: ) Maybe don't recycle the black knight again and get rid of the usual bearded face lol :P . but you'r running a shop so i know that's actualy a must when u have so many orders and a life to run, 2. (that's also why i don't run a shop and i only work when i want to...lazy me...well...i realy have no time...sigh). However i strongly agree with you about the concept of the sig. For me they'r like artpieces i have to work and work on till i get what i like...no matter the time i use and, sorry audience, no matter how you could rate it. It's so nice once u satisfy yourself that even if your work is rated badly it doesn't even count that much...My luck some ppl still loves my work :) Well...bye...back on Paint... :shock: oops i wasn't supposed to .... :roll:

three simple words : Stop ranting , n00bs :P Lol Joking however...back on topic... You'r free to dislike pixel sigs or to prefer abstract ones...but opening another thread like this is pretty pointless. I myself don't like some of the pixel sigs that are out there, and i find them pretty useless sometimes but...guess what ? It's ppl work and they put their efforts making those...and it's way much harder to make a decent pixel work than a decent grunge or abstract (that means google --> tutorial --> photoshop -->10/15 mins ?, 0 skill). So respect other ppl work and go playing with photoshop instead, maybe you'r gonna create another trend with your sigs... About the guy that used the drawing examples...well i strongly agree with you about the quality, expecialy when some well known "pixel artist" don't clean their lines leaving the rough aspect i dislike...but it takes way more than 15 mins to clean all the linework in a well detailed sig... And remember...bad art is out there...may it be pixel or, more commonly, abstracts and grunge...

im tyring... but first i must learn to make the simple ones You see...it's not a matter of complexity...i'm talking about the idea behind the sig....if u succed showing us something new or not boring (not that the sig is boring...i mean we already saw many rangers killing a mage...if u get what i mean) you'll get way better results. drawing skills will come with time...but a nice idea is something that u can already develop.

not bad for your first tries....tech speaking at least. But such sigs have 0 originality. Just look around...ppl have already done like 4 or 5 sigs of the same kind of each of yours... Next step is to find a new way or addo something realy brilliant and original to this kind of sigs. Keep it up

just wondering...dominic's thread speaks about some kind of rules/prizes while here i see different ones...Since in the other thread it's said that you can join only by submitting a sig of each subject while here i can read u don't need to submit both...which one is correct ? which are the correct prizes ? (moreover i think the RS related sig should be paid more than the other one since it looks harder and more ppl are submitting that...)

That's pretty disappointing coming from you. Thought you had been around enough to know how to rate stuff, but it looks like i overextimated you. Just to remember you how things go, u can't rate a pixel sig comparing to an abstract. U gotta rate a pixel one comparing it to the pixel stuff that's around, and according to that , rate it from 1 to 10, not from 1 to 5 or something like that just cause you don't like the style. Else your rating is pointless and kinda dumb, not considering the great impression you make on those who put their effort in the pieces u rate. U don't value the content of an oil barrel in meters... :roll:

it's 3D :shock: :P :twisted:

Erm...some1 is drunk lol... Cash in RS = item Sig = Service lol

Dude that's pretty a nice concept developd in a decent way. Nothing great yet but the good thing in pixelart is you can fix it little by little. Might be worth a try ? :) Keep it up EDIT: THE ABOVE SIG ^^^^^^ IS OUT OF THE LIMITS :evil:

Is there any type of book I could read to learn more about these things to improve? You have lots of good critical things to say about my sig but I think it would help more if I had more of a hands on type thing like "Paint for dummies" or something like that. Edit: Another thing what does IMO mean? :oops: Sorry but i never used a tutorial on pixel art and i'm not even sure there's one out there...Well there should be some guidelines but i think only experience can give you better drawing tecniques. I personaly made all myself without even looking at other peeps works or tutorials, i only developed my taste/skills using a lot of time in each try. That's the real key in pixel art, the time u use on each work...About my comment i had to go eating so i couldn't write all i wanted to. Hope that can help you a bit, forget the rating, that's not something to be scared about at first tries. Feel free to PM me about this or that within the range of reason.... EDIT: IMO = In My Opinion

4/10 main problems are : bad design: well i think you can compare your work to other ppl in pixels and see yourself what i mean. Good thing in pixel art is that you can work on slight details and fix the image pixel by pixel...For example the pickaxe is very bad IMO. You should spend more time in the shaping process (like you draw the full thing in B/W then u colorize and add final details) bad anatomy :that's one of the most important things in a sig. weather you make soft rounded guys like MisterX , pretty realistic guys like link91 or cartoonist like mine, the anathomy must have a certain armony in the shapes, proportion, typical of the desired style. Much work here 2. poor bg : Lacks of detail bad colors/shading : nothing much to say...check more complex sigs to have an idea of what u need to improve another shoulder look very similar to your previous one...: face should be on screen...IMO at least... it totaly lacks a meaning : u should work on a brilliant idea or a funny meaning beyond the pixel work. That greatly helps in making a good sig. Keep up trying however. I think u've got the will to improve
