ok i hope the title got your attention all you microsoft lovers.

 

 

 

anyways cc please. I like the outcome. I learned some new smudging techniques from nassul (<< he's awesome) and i actually tried a few gradient maps and some other stuff.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so cc is appreciated

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and yes i know this is like the billionth halo render used in a sig so don't cc my unoriginality pl0x :XD:

Bugger, no Halo 3 yet?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I rather like the outcome here, nice lighting, methinks. The left side is just a teensy bit bare, and there doesn't seem to be a border.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Otherwise, it's a pretty good sig. :) (feel free to ignore everything I just said up there as I have very little idea about this sort of stuff. :P)

not every sig requires a border :XD:

 

 

 

but thx for the comment, and yeah i left the left bare on purpose idk why i just liked it like that.

Look kewl, good job. Very well blended, and al that, what i want to know is how on earth u managed to get it as a png under 30kb :o My sig was like 50kb as a png, and it's only got 5 colours :uhh:

not every sig requires a border :XD:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And that is why I shouldn't c/c according to the norm and when I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about.

i normally save mine as

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jpeg on 75 quality

 

 

 

but for this one i needed transparency so i went

 

 

 

Png-8 256 colors

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

both of those settings generally give good quality for gfx sigs and are rarely above 30kb (at least the jpeg is almost always lower although the png format goes higher more often than jpg.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(and i know my sig isn't showing up it'll be back up in a sec so if you can't see it come back in 5-10 minutes.)

Lol i'd never even tryed saving it as png 8, always just clicked 24, didn't realise the difference :lol: Thanks for that, very cool.
