I don't care for superstition. I've broken 2 mirrors, I always walk under ladders and I live near about 4 black cats. It's kind of ironic that I was pushed through a window today though.

Reminds me of the Schumacher incident. He supposedly broke down on the final corner, blocking cars from passing at a racing pace.

:P - - - - - I assume this was an attempt to sort of resemble the actual in-game part? If so, it's very well done. The planet though almost looks like a mountain (created by terragen) with a sort of bubble around it. o.O The text is nice, fitting and not too obstructive or INYOURFACELOLS. Though one thing i'd be weary of is it could be easily ripped. There is no anti-rip or your name on it. The glowing, lines (I assume meant to be what is the spirits of the shot) looks quite sharp and doesn't seem to fit with the smoother signature. This is quite possibly your best signature, but then again I haven't seen most of yours. :P Off topic: If you haven't played FFX, do so now. It is an awesome game. Great graphics, characters, gameplay and a really nice story.

Wrong forum (not much point moving now, but that's not the point) Also, I remember there being a rule about no referral links to anything.

PNG does. Terley did a quick example well, make sure you see the chequered background.

But it's a .gvi file, you need the Google player downloaded to play it anyway. I also tried converting .gvi to .avi, didn't work out well :wall: Download the version for PSP/iPod. That's an .MP4 file which can be converted to a different format.

These do what exactly? :-s

Yay, another person who fails to grasp the concept that YouTube won't be "disappearing".

Here you go http://imgsrc.hubblesite.org/hu/db/2005 ... ll_jpg.jpg There are many more images of that kind on Hubble's site :) Awesome. :shock: I just could not find that darned hubble site anywhere. :oops: My bad. Forgot to add link (I kinda hoped you'd figure out by the image url :-w ) http://hubblesite.org/ http://hubblesite.org/gallery/ You over-estimated on my skills. ;) Thanks, Zargo.

I smell burnt troll?

I find that post ironic looking at your signature. how so? the middle two are requests that the requesters decided not to use, and the other two are compleatly un runescape related...? also, i havent played ruenscape in 4 months, so please, before you make yourself look like an idiot again, think before you post =) have a nice day. kthxbai. Sorry but if you want to get so pedantic, they are all Runescape related. All of them contain something which is in Runescape. Of course they also exist outside, but you are claiming they have nothing to do with it. Requests they didn't want? Why are you using them? You don't have to do requests, do you? Stop shooting yourself in the foot. Besides, the things he drew could have nothing to do with Runescape, most MMOs contain capes/amulets/metal armour/boots. I haven't played RS in a month. So what? That has nothing to do with it. Stop trying to sound so smart by attempting to "pwn/own" someone. :roll:

Well, considering this is the first time I have even considered doing anything of this sort, do you have anything constructive to add? No? Okay, bye then. He gave plenty of constructive information. Just doing the same thing over again, in this situation - just doing a filter, doesn't get you anywhere. I, and i'm sure JR, do not think that this being your first "manip" is an excuse. You can learn things before you post. It's true, I can learn on my own, but I'd like to get help from a community. Mainly specific things to add/change in my work, and definitions to this lingo you artists use :?. Also, Cad, I've seen some of your work, and it's quite nice. Would you happen to know of a tutorial or something of that sort? Perhaps someone could post links to different sites that have topics like this. No, I haven't attempted a photomanip tutorial. Mainly because I would need to explain how to use levels/curves and how to effectively colour etc. I may try one day, just not now. ;) If you are confused about any lingo that I or anyone else has used, don't be afraid to post and ask. Or alternatively you can always PM me if you have any graphics questions. ;)

Yeah, they earn alot of money. But look how many sponsored adverts and google adverts are on the internet. With all of that, how can they NOT make money? Have you noticed when you play a Google Video that it fits the window? YouTube doesn't do that. Just make the window you are playing a Google Video in smaller. I thought that was obvious. @_@ QFT. YouTube is just going under Google's jurisdiction.

Yeah, that's the main reason why I hate the water. Never learnt to swim and thus I keep away from it. The only type of rain I like is that misty stuff that gets you soaked, even though it doesn't feel it.

Watch who you talk to.. He is one of the best designers here. (Aside from me, of course) :P You lie. :anxious: <3 u Metroid. ;P

Yeah, for this piece I used some new experimental brushes. Rather than normal brushes they're quite grainy and sandy. I used them because it had a feeling of paper, thus calligraphy and thus the chinese characters. It does look a very flat colour, but I can assure you it is varied. I shall make it more varied. ;) What I mean is that I blurred it with a canvas that wasn't big enough. Since nothing past the outside of the canvas is shown, PS chops it off to save virtual memory, then when I made the canvas bigger to show the whole render - the blur doesn't extend with it. (If that made sense, whoo. Otherwise, i'll post some pictures to help explain.) The whole point was to blend the render a lot, get the feeling of a ninja in the shadows (not that she'd be too good with reds and purples ;P). I mainly used purple because it is in her outfit. I had already used reds for the brushing etc. so I wanted a differential colour. But it may just be you aren't accustomed to seeing chinese characters and thus are fascinated by it. But I will try what you recommended and put the opacity down slightly and tint the colour more towards red. OHSNAP. If you're one day older than me... I can see why, it's usually quite common to centre it height-wise. But I wanted it to be more-or-less the same height as the render. However, I can try that aswell. The whole point is to blend the render. :-s Using the colours from the render just adds to it, why is it "eww"? After taking the CC of the quoted posts: - I think the text colour-wise looks easier on the eyes, i'm not so drawn to them as before. Thanks for that imhomer :). - The colour is more varied and no longer looks flat. Darker colours flow slightly easier into the darkness and create a nicer gradient. Thanks for that Nadril. ;) - In my opinion the text looked a bit better when it was just below centre. Does anyone think it looks better? Thanks anyway, Ape. :) Sorry to those whose CC I could not change. Blurring is... well, pretty much impossible to undo to a certain extent. However, I may do a remake with less blur and make it a pop-out. Thanks to all who have posted. It's really helped. :)

They sure can, it's a shame not in this case.

Looks pretty good, you don't see many animated pixels. The only other one I can think of is one of Beamo26's signatures. - Choppy water animation. - Text only appears in 2 frames, in different places. - Text is baaad, never underline your name. Put it in white. - Back wall is... a solid colour. Add some bricks/wallpaper style to it. - Treasure chest has no top, or atleast looks like it. Perhaps make it resting on the wall? - I agree, his neck looks quite fat. Pretty good pixel otherwise. :)

Wow, so soon after your last first pixel? :roll: Seriously, you just copied your signature, added some brush stroke, spray can and text. There's no sense of movement, they look frozen solid. They are almost exact copies of each other, except one is darker skinned than the other. No real shading. No background. Bad anatomy in places. Boots look like socks. This could go on and on...

Who says you get dropped off? Who says it's a boat? You could be the only survivor of a jumbo jet crash due to engine failure. Then what you gonna do? Shoot the wreckage?

So very hypocritical - - - - - - It looks good, the colours are well chosen. The is a definate sense of flow along the arm, but it just goes to random shards in the background. A 'blast' C4D would've looked really nice over/below the fist. I've never watched FMA, so I don't understand why he has a metal arm. An alchemist is someone that turns lead to gold, not sprout metallic arms. :(

I've explained why it looks "a little smudgy". The canvas wasn't big enough so it just stopped when it hit the edge. Why should I make the text bigger? Just because there is a black space doesn't mean I have to fill it with something. A "what he said" post is a cheap way to post. Atleast give some of your own input.

That's just the Pope's way to get all the chicks for himself. :P Than I wish to be the pope :lol: . Be careful what old scripts you quote then. :P

The signature limits here are 450x175x30kb. My signature is 400x120x50kb (not using here). Bigger is not necessarily better. I love people who don't have a clue.
