Just draw corals and stuff under the water but when you colour it do it in a blue tint. Remember to save as png too. jpg messes up and creates artifacts

I made that pic lol in photoshop :P

Might look good as a tat :D

I Love lego. I havn't played with it for a long time but I used to play all the time. When i first got a set i'd build it as it was meant to be. Then after that id make something entirely new. I'm pretty sure ive got one picture of one of my creations, it was a fair ground with an ice rink and stuff. lol. I also used to make robots and cars and stuff. This was my favourite set and I had all the extras and stuff from the 95 sets ^_^ The Aquazone with the Aquanauts and Aquasharks lol ^_^ http://www.brickset.com/search.aspx?Theme=Aquazone Hows this for kick [wagon] lego tho heheh. The best Escher type thing i ever did was a penrose tribar and a billy basic most basic of basic version of the staircase in which Ascending is based on.

I cant remember exactly but it was the episode when Meg is a flag girl and the popular kids are all picking on her so they send Quagmire to her party. She answers the door and hes like "Hey lady how old are you?" and she goes "Sixtee..." and he buts in and goes "Eighteen! Alright" rofl.

:( 17 for me. But I like Rox :cry:

And this isnt related to piracy in what way? :-/

This doesnt however fix your problem. Have you contacted Cox yet?

Meh, its confusing to quote a person and then write a post directed at someone else. Thats the same as looking at someone else and actually talking to someone behind you.

Ok heres a non bad mood/cc version of why I was trying to say earlier I dont think you are bad or a rubbish sig maker, what I was saying was that they are a bit to repetetive and follow the same pattern of working. I know thats proably your style but it lacks originality. You can still have a style without everything looking the same. Photoshop is a great program, its what I use. Its by far the most powerful photo/graphic design package for most people, but people dont use it to its full effect. I'm not a big fan of pixel work and most vector is pretty rubbish so its proably best if you stick with abstract but there is a lot you can do to improve. Take out the renders and images, they ruin the piece. The background is pretty good and while perhaps a little plain right now its still the part of the sig that shows off your skill. The render is just poor and really looks just stuck on. I'm not a big fan of anime either (apart from outlaw star) so I'm proably a bit bias when it comes to anime renders in sigs too. lol As for the pixel font quotes, they're not really lame just unneccesary. The problem with them is that they don't relate to the signature. Some of them sum up the expression of the rendered character but it all looks copy and pasted and makes the signature look very amateurish. I dont think putting it under the main text of the sig is a good idea. The one you did of the beach landings boat is better in that the slogan is in the corner of the piece. Its purposely not just a gap filler and looks much better The text is ok but again is very samey. You've done the same effect really on all the signatures. Its come out very well on some pieces such as the brown/orange naruto one but not so well on the green boba fett one. try some different effects and ways of blending theres so many fonts out there thats good for abstract signatures. try and go for something a bit more unique. Ok now your backgrounds are good but they still fall on the beginners category because they are all pretty much the same colour and have no focal point. The one you did for Dominca is definitly an improvement with a few shades of colour but try adding a few more colours relevant to the mood of the piece. You'll want blacks and reds and oranges for a hellish signature and subtle pinks and blues and greens for a happy friendly piece. Try and make some kind of focal point to the signature. Instead of the render make a really bright perhaps even white area, and thats where you put your text. The text and abstract background will replace the rubbish pictures you currently have and it should all look so much better. I would post a few example but i'm at work right now and only have photoshop 5 and It cant do bugger all lol. If you want any example of what I mean or any more questions let me know and ill have a go answering. Matt

Alright, thanks for the links. ^_^ But do you have any idea how to get the comp to temporarily stop shutting itself down so I can manage the downloads? Thanks again. You can try in safemode, not sure if that'll work or get a mate to download them and put onto a floppy disk for you.

Log looks ok but you still havn't updated windows

Someone died in England recently from DVT after sitting down for hours playing games. Just losers if you ask me, theres more to life than playing games. This Korean dude for example quit his job just to play more games. Why did his family and friends now get him to a psychiatriast?

Newspapers would probably pay you far more than $75 for the rights to the story ^_^
