OHSNAP. If you're one day older than me... One day younger. And the trail off? :-s Anyways your new version looks really good. I feel my eyes trailing to the lightest area in the center of the sig just to the right of the render instead of the words. Personally I liked the words a bit off center but aside from that it looks great.

Try checking out the FAQ sticky at the top. It has a list of a lot of great guides. For pixelling I would reccommend the ones by Terley, Quer Skull, and Punkage (sadly some have broken images :( ) For any other kind of sig, well sorry I don't know where to start. Just giving a little vocab on the way: Pixel: Any cartoonish looking sig usually done with MS Paint or other programs suchs as Flash. Example: See my Avatar, done 100% by me in MS Paint Abstract/Grunge: A sig with a render (picture) placed against a background. Some blending and lighting effects may be added. Example: My signature Photomanip/ manip: Photograph Manipulation. Changing a photograph to give it different colors, lighting, and blurring effects. Fake: Any picture that resembles Runescape but is made up. For example a 'screenshot' of Elvarg rampaging through Lumbridge. Hope this helps.

You hear that? :-s It's the sound of you, digging your grave deeper and deeper with every post..............

Never said it was either. :shame: If you have nothing to hide just say with definity that it's yours. Face it, you have a history of not posting your own stuff. I'm thinking of a mage with a staff and blue fireball thingy. Lets see if we can find it........... EDIT: Nope, must have been deleted in the great Media Market Purge

I really like the idea and everything but here's my two cents worth (1.1 pence for you funny people across the pond :roll:)*mutter*Stupid higher-valued British currency *mutter* Now I'm sorry if I don't understand the whole "blurred across the canvas line" thing because I've never even tried these kind of sigs before, but it seems a bit too blurred to me. I especially notice it on the to between her right (our left) arm and her head. Is that blurred hair or something? I like the whole kinda frosted look to the BG but I feel the reds blend in a bit too much to the reds and oranges of her outfit. The text catches the eye a bit too much IMHO. When I look at the sig I see past the render and straight to the text which, not knowing any pictographic languages, I don't have the slightest inkling to it's meaning (I know it means Cad but only because you stated it). I think maybe a softer pink color or grey instead of the white would do the text good. Don't get me wrong, I really like this sig and I think it could be one of your better ones. Remember, I'm a complete n00b at these sigs so you can take my opinion as that of a crazed lunatic holding the cardboard sign on the edge of the road saying: "The world has already ended, you're just in denial." :wink: Off-topic: *points to Cad's sig* My birthday is on the 4th

I like the idea but it just seems way too empty. As for how you maniped it, it seems a little too blurry on both and the text needs work.

My experience is only as a pixeller, nothing else. I don't pretend to know what file types are better for what sigs so you're going to have to take my opinion knowing that I have little knowledge about abstracts.

Under mith mining you neglected to mention my favorite spot; Lumbridge Swamp Mine. It's a long way from the bank but it's infrequently crowded and has 5 spawns of mith ores and 2 spawns of addy.

I point thou to this guide http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=521963

Yes, check the file size of the sig. The inevitable next questions is how do I get the file size smaller? the answer is to make the sig smaller or save as a different filetype. Please try saving as a .gif first and then save as a .jpg. Both will lower your quality but the .jpg will lower it much more than the .gif.

Eeeeeewwww a jpeg...... lol..you do know that you need to save abstracts as jpegs (the png was at 180kb) No I didn't. I don't do abstracts. Still though, it contains cartoonish figures and they're ruined by the lowering of quality. Don't ask me how but some people have an apparantly magical way of shrinking file sizes without changing the file to a .jpg or other quality lowering file type.

The tree looks wierd although I understand it's near impossible to do trees really well in MSPaint. The guy's left (closer) shoulder seems a lot higher than it should be compared to the other arm (or the far one is too low depending on how you look at it). Even with perspective it still seems a little wierd although it might be better once you add a head. On the subject of the table. I think that the angle up to the guy's arm is different from the angle on the rest of the left side. Also the length of the far side of the table looks like it's the same as the length of the closer side which kinda ruins the illusion of depth. Finally the table legs seems a bit too rectangular and not square to me. On the plus side, excellent shading on the arm and D chain.

If you press Alt then Print Screen (both at the same time) it will only take a screenshot of the window you currently have selected and nothing else.

Not bad. The only fault I can see is in the quality: Eeeeeewwww a jpeg......

The anatomy is all wrong but considering how consistently wrong it is, I assume that's your style..........I which case I like :lol:. The one thing I can say, and I suffer from this myself, is that it seems like you've used dithering a bit too much. My eyes are really drawn into the middle section of the chest of gold where you used dithering on a very large area and, IMHO, the whole effect just looks bad. Go for more colors with less dithering and try using different texturing techniques besides dithering.

I like it a lot but I noticed a few things. I'm no expert at these kind of sigs though (grunge, abstract, whatever you call them). First off, the light section is only in the lower corner but then entire right side of the sig is lit up and it looks............unbalanced to me. The extent of the lighter area going to the left is much smaller than the area going up which doesn't really imply a sphere of light like the rest does. I like the render near the light but to its lower left it doesn't seem to be blended quite as well and it looks a lot more 3D (almost like a picture of a model). The left arm (its right0 and left sid3e of its body just seem a bit too shiny compared to the rest of the render. Aside from that it looks good and I really like the render.

Uuuuummmmmm.....I don't get it and it doesn't look like you did much. :-s

It all looks a bit.......stretched. I suspect that you pixelled over the drawing then stretched it to fit in tip.it size limits. Generall that's ok but it seems you only shrank it vertiacally, making everything seem a bit too wide.

I like it. Not quite sure what it's supposed to be, but still :).

Make something for yourself to do. Set a goal for a skill (85 mining for example). What I did was I started a mining company which consumed a lot of my time until I handed over ownership recently.

Ok, first off let me say this, 'tis not bad. Not really bad at least. Here are a few tips: You saved the avatar as a low-quality .jpg. This is a big no no :shame:. Always save pixels as a .png like you did with the sig. You also use the pencil tool to make the pumpkin but didn't clean up your lines. You want the lines to look like this: .....@@@@ @@..........@@ Not like this: @@@...@@@ .....@@@ Congrats on being a reasonable first timer who uses off palette colors =D>. Off palette colors that have a little bit of grey in them are good. Moving on to the sig, the sky is really bad. Night skies aren't grey, they're dakr blue (ever heard of midnight blue?). Your stars are really badly done and it looks like you got lazy with them. For all intents and purposes of pixelling, stars are symmetrical. The mountains aren't bad but the give no sense of depth. It looks like one big zig-zag line. Extend some of the lines to make them look more overlapped. Finally shading. Please, please, please shade. I see you shaded the mountains which is good but the shading is a little light and could use a larger contrast of colors to get a better effect. The pumpkins in the sig are shaded but the shading is inverted, it should be darker in the furrows and lighter on the main part of the pumpkin. The sky needs at least a littl bit of shading even if there is no moon. For the pumpkin in your avatar, please shade at least a little. 4 or 5 colors should do it good.

That's amazingly incredible. I wish I could do that. I tihkn I'm going to save up some money to buy paint and try.

The firebat..........please :pray: Lol, jk. This actually inspired me to do another starcraft themed sig.

Looks really good. Because it's a logo I guess it doesn't need a border. BTW you double posted.

I found a glitch. When you get the popup that says there's a battle, you can still click around it and upgrade buildings without clicking the "to Battle" button.
