I tried using gradients on this sig:
Evidently, I still have no idea what to do. I like this one though. I think I might use it for my own sig!

:O Ohnoez. I bet you your sigs are going to ge better than mine in a short time, cause I have been slacking off and not working on mine ;o I love the sprite, btw. Looks different than a Nintendo sprite, but I think it looks better. |

You've had months more experience than me, and you have Photoshop; it pains me to say it, but it probably IS a better program than GIMP. Still though, you never know... If I can just find a way of emulating that cloudiness effect that the best artists have on their sigs, I might get a little better. dragonite wrote: I love the sprite, btw. Looks different than a Nintendo sprite, but I think it looks better. I know. It uses more colours than allowed on a Pokemon sprite. This has two causes: 1. I don't know exactly the limit of colours. 2. I couldn't bear to make the clothes identical. BTW, anyone who notices a difference in my sig, that's because I updated it again. It now has a back-glow. |

Eheh, I know it looks odd. That was a pretty old sig, come to think of it. Maybe, he's wearing camo armour? Charizard Hierarch wrote: I didn't know you played Warhammer. I've played about four games at my cousin's house (he's the chap who got me interested in it), and I've played Dawn of War a few times. I can't really call myself a fan, to be honest. I DO like the whole background and stuff of 40k. |

And also, I think the limit the number of colors in a sprite is 15+1 transparency. Hmm... maybe that wa PS1 colors, I can't remember. Possibly it's 31+1 transparency... |

EDIT: You mean this as a transparent layer? YES! That's it exactly! Could ya please tell me how you did it? Just descrbing the tools and settings you used should be enough, I can tranfser them to GIMP. |

What do you mean by transparency? In photoshop, to get a clouds layer, you go to Filter>Render>Clouds, but I've never heard of transparent clouds. |

Transparent clouds are when you place the cloud on 1 layer, then make the layer transparent. Simple. The primary colour and secondary colour determinges the colour of the cloud. |

Yay Edward! You should have made one with their cat. Anyway, all of your sigs just keep on getting better and better. |

OMG. I. LOVE. THE. FMA. SIG. I like the soft, faded effect of it. And I told you that you were going to get better than me eventually ;o |

Well, I couldn't find a Scar render. 
I like this anyway. It's Vincent Valentine, for those of you with eye and brain problems. |

OMG, triple post. 
Newest sig. Uses the same background and render as the last one, but less sucky. |

Whoa... Hey, how do you create that blur/foggy effect? |

A combination of the cloud render effect, changing the opacity and using the eraser tool liberally. |

New siggeh: 
The first real experiment with the different Layer modes. |
|
| Author: | goldenquagsire [ Tue Jan 30, 2007 1:09 pm ] |

The latest model. I made a version with a Dusclops render, but I hate that one. Oh, and yes, I finally have grasped the basics of gradients. If only I can find out about those bloody blending modes. Edit: 
I still have a weird feeling of dislike for it, but it's an improvement. |
