misterxman Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Lol, well glad I inspired someone. :) Those sigs are not bad for first time, but are too big. Work hard and don't give up. :) Also, a few of those sigs break the new sig rule prohibiting gore such as decapitation and such. Pixel sigs by me.Pixel Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eissob Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 well, you can do both, its just whish works better for you. When i made pixel sigs i allways start with the chars because mostly they are the main point of the sig, also how i make it it doesnt care, i use fireworks mx for pixel sigs this is just because its easy to make a background or chars first because you can work with layers, i often make background in 1 layer, char in 1 layer and other extra's in another layer, but thats just me, you can also just draw everything in one layer but this works better for me.

Raist-dark Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 Ok cheers but i still need to know how to make flashy text Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eissob Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 flashy tekst, you mean animated tekst? in pixel style or just animated teks flashing? for animation i use imageready, which comes with photoshop, but there are also a lot of other free programs like gif creator or something, just type at google or http://www.download.com and type ani gif maker or something like that.

Raist-dark Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 see how the name changes in the top right corner... how do u do that... and this is that same pic but i did a backround to it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 I have to say, this new one is much better. So much improvement in 1-2 days. Keep up the good work. If you want to get your name out there make a few free sigs, it's good practice as well then slowly work in a price for the sigs depending on the reaction. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raist-dark Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 And i have you ppl to thank for that :) i mite just open a free workshop or somthing eh, 1 problem still waiting for someone to give me a link to a place to download a flash text thing becuz i really need it.

eissob Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 http://www.download.com/3120-20-0.html?qt=gif+maker&tg=dl-2001 then download the barbarosa gif maker, when u have done that install it, its a trial version only, then when u have done that open it and youll get a menu where you choose the size of the sig, then the optimization and finally a menu where you can add the image which you want animated. after that you can start making an animation, their are 2 ways, or you make to images one with tekst and one with different tekst then you could just add 2 images and put then behind each other in the animation menu on the bottom and when done you just save the file as animated gif. or you could put the pic in without tekst and add the tekst in , barbarosa and copy the image and put there the other tekst and save it as animated gif, but just try to figure it out yourself is best way to learn it, hope this will help you.
