Lord_Gromit Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Due to constant flaming of my method, I've decided to just remove this. I might use it later, but apparently much of the tipit community doesn't appreciate the limitations of MS paint, and so will just flame me. A mod can lock this now.

hiimben Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I don't think you did much in ms Paint. It seems to me that you assembled it though paint. Getting a picture of Sauron, getting a fire bg and using a Font in MS Paint. If you did the fire its very good work, but I doubt you did. I personally don't think the image blends in well with the flames and the text could be a bit better :-k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaziek Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 1337 paint skills... but if u get hold of some better image stuff - try to blend the flames more in with sauron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_shadow Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 the flames obviously wern't done in paint... but im not going to glame you for that :D its pretty good, and you managed to get rid of the bg from the render (or was it taken from a render site with a pre-cut out render?) either way, its not too bad. generally good sigs, excluding pixel sigs, cant really be made in ms paint. id recommend dlding a free, legal program off the internet, cant remember their names at the moment, but you'd be able to blend the renders and do better things with the text.

Faelenof Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I'm not too skilled in the abstract/render department thing, but I'm bored so I'll give it a go. :P For a Paint image that isn't a pixel, it's pretty good - you either have some 1337 cropping skills (in Paint of all programs!), or you had a pre-cropped image. :P Respect goes to you if you cropped it yourself though - I'm terrible at cropping even in something like Photoshop. XD I realise there's not much tools to use in Paint, so I'll spare you the blending lecture. The background doesn't fit too well with the render, though, and the text is unreadable in the dark parts of the flames. As Shadow said up there, Paint isn't any good with much else other than pixels and random drawings when you're bored in a Computers class, so you'll want to get a free version of something that is better suited to this sort of thing. The GIMP is a good program, apparently - on par with Photoshop, according to some people, and it's completely free. If you Google it, you should find a free download easily. :) Not bad, overall. :) Pixel Artist - Former Player Mod - Former Tip.It ModNot taking sig requests - sorry!

Star. Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Allow me to state the obvious: you didn't do anything but add your name. He googled the pictures maybe cropped sauron and put them together and added the name. It's alright but you should use photoshop. It's good for MS Paint :thumbsup: ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadburys_egg Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Whaat? It's not good for ANY program. He's simply put a picture of flames behind a picture of Sauron. Thenadded some text which is pretty bad (not the font). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might use it later, but apparently much of the tipit community doesn't appreciate the limitations of MS paint, and so will just flame me. A mod can lock this now. Sorry, but you truly did nothing except a little copy and paste. You just cannot do anything which resembles an abstract on MSpaint, not within reason atleast. There are limitations with MSpaint, granted, but it is more suited to pixelling images. If you honestly expect us to give advice or how to improve, get a proper image manipulation program. Can you honestly tell yourself you expected a lot of praise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortress2000 Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 much of the tipit community doesn't appreciate the limitations of MS paint Limitations? Come on, masterpieces have been made with paint. And if you need an example (probably mentioned before), take a look at some of Terleys, or Misterxman's work. Great pieces. As for limitations of tools, everything you need is there. In essence, all that photoshop and programs of the likes are doing is making it easier (at most times), and a little more proffesional (at times). Limitations? I think not. Writing in colour was fun while it lasted...The Tip.It. Furry! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_Gromit Posted December 16, 2006 Author Share Posted December 16, 2006 If you honestly expect us to give advice or how to improve, get a proper image manipulation program. Like I said... And Fortress, those people are artistic geniuses. I don't happen to be one. Can you honestly tell yourself you expected a lot of praise? Maybe not praise, but certainly not this: you truly did nothing you didn't do anything I doubt you done any of that I was expecting more like this: 1337 paint skills... but if u get hold of some better image stuff - try to blend the flames more in with sauron. either way, its not too bad. generally good sigs, excluding pixel sigs, cant really be made in ms paint. id recommend dlding a free, legal program off the internet Respect goes to you if you cropped it yourself though - I'm terrible at cropping even in something like Photoshop It's alright but you should use photoshop.

Notice the difference? Some people gave helpful advice, some just started flaming. In fact, I wouldn't mind if everyone said that it stinks if they were to give some advice on improving it.

dark_shadow Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 lay off it guys, what is this place now, a slaughter house? Lord_Gromit just tried a sig. simple. its a tonne better than a lot of the stuff thats on here now, that can get comments such as 'awesome, perfect, 10/10". He dosnt have a program, like photoshop, and i can understand that cause its expensive. he probably never heard of GIMP and other free downloadable programs. he worked with what he had, and for the tools in paint, he did pretty well. paint is a program pretty much only used by pixellers (yeah yeah, like your fave pro's, MXM, terley and GS to name a few) as well as some fakers i suppose. no, its not used as a program for abstracts or similar sigs. so what if someone tried to use the program they had to make a sig? at least give the guy a chance and help him improve, instead of saying things like "i dont think you did anything", "you truly did nothing except a little copy and paste" and "you didnt do anything besides add a name". at least gromit tried to make his own sig, even if it didnt prove to be a 10/10 quality sig, instead of ripping one off someone else like so many others do. lately this forums been slipping a lot, you all seem like you want to slaughter any new people that come here and try sigs. we were ALL beginners, though we all seem to like to forget it. i remember i used to get flamed all the time when i joined the forum with my crappy pixels, that lacked shading, perspective and anatomy. i was one of the few that didnt turn away, yet you notice a lot of the new people comming on this particular forum now post a sig, gets flamed, and leaves. how is that helping them? GIVE THEM GOOD C/C and HELP them, dont flame and despise them, jeeze. im personally getting sick of this. done ranting now. Featuring in my sig: TURT, ma pet turdle!

misterxman Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Locked by request. Some people posted some great CC which hopefully the author thought was useful. Bad CC's with flames shouldn't be posted but if they are posted, ignore them because they're not worth much. If you think the piece needed way too much work, then just simply post it needs more work or offer one better program, but don't post multiple times saying that.
