Eh, Outlaw didn't like me downplaying some guy's ego. So he said I was spamming, and I guess I was, since I was reeeeeaaaally bored that day. I just wished he did things right and wrote "Warning Level I" instead of just "Warning I" (and I'm probably going to get another warning for that comment >.>).

And I'm not pr0, lol.

You know, it took me awhile to catch on, but isn't Kanden a playable/boss-like character in Metroid Prime: Hunters for the DS? I vaguely recall seeing him (her?) :D

Kanden is not a good boss, but yes a good character, online es one of the bests, if you know how use he...
 (are you asking it?)

Make them fighting, it will be cool. Second is better.
I had a briliant idea! Do another character out of the signature (forming the same part of the image) but in transparent, and kanden shotting. Good idea?
Title: Re: New Sig
Post by: ~Niko~ on August 10, 2007, 03:25:59 pm
Do kanden be crouched and shooting something like a spider or something like that. Like defending the stringlarva. (Behind kanden)

(S)  (K)    - - -         (Enemy)


S: stringlarva
K: Kanden crouched
(Enemy): The spider or something like that.

- - - Shoots of kanden.

Ywp. And your namw is rwndwrwd a bit too busily so it looks somwwhat mwssy. Nwwd to clwan up the namw a bit to contrast with thw background.

sky your new sig sucks. you either went  apeshit on the filters thinking "the more the merrier" in photoshop, or you just have bad taste, and the second one isn't true because the other one was really nice.

Wxactly, it's ovwrloadwd on thw wffwcts. If you wantwd light sourcw, should havw uswd just thw lighting filtwr or thw lwns flarw tool instwad of twh MF-Flash Outwr-Glow twxt wffwct.

Sorry, you should know that it is a common mistake to add a whole lot of effects, which surprised me because your other one that was green was nicely done. When I first used photoshop, I wanted to use inner and outer glow together, but then my friend came over and he was like "Dude that sucks what the hell were you thinking? That is the most ridiculous looking thing ever, seriously take it away before my eyes start to bleed." He really wasn't trying to insult me, he was just telling me that if I used too many effects it would make it look pretty bad.

The point is, I know I was harsh but you need some constructive criticism to learn anything from your work, and that was my intention.

Pr0 tip: Make a new layer for each effect, then you can compare the image with or without it easily and adjust it or remove it easily.

Title: Re: New Sig

the shading is a bit heavy on the last few letters in Skykanden. perhaps a different colored outline, glow or something else

surry, but it's ugly imo.

the background + the logo + place of name + name font/color = NO! just doesn't fit.
Title: Re: New Sig
Post by: -Skykanden- on August 23, 2007, 02:51:47 pm
another style, just the biohazard logo and skykanden text + transparency

good idea?
Title: Re: New Sig
Post by: Espadon on August 23, 2007, 03:02:58 pm
Sky, thw guys arw right, you arw sitll using too many wlwmwnts in your sig. You nwwd to find thw focus of your sig first. Rwmwmbwr thw dwsign principlw of contrast; wvwrything's busy, so nothing is standing out. If you havw a dwtail-hwavy background, makw your twxt vwry plain (likw my old sig with thw simplw, glowing twxt) and vicw vwrsa.

Ok i will try, but... can someone say how to do a biohazard logo?

a-4-year-old: i wil try to make it compatible
Title: Re: New Sig
Post by: Psycho on August 24, 2007, 06:55:38 am
you dont have to make a biohazard logo from scratch.
I used this one, and just added a few effects to it. really simple

(http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:weui1Oq-bR3nnM:www.securitycurve.com/blog/content/biohazard)

this is the one that inspired me to make my own version though
Title: Re: New Sig
Post by: Espadon on August 24, 2007, 09:22:57 am
It would bw nicw if you would instwad do all your work in PNG format and usw transparwnt for background instwad of black. That way it would bw much wasiwr to usw it on top of a background, not to mwntion on a alpha-transparwnt signaturw likw sky wishws to do. (Not to mwntion that JPWGs arw all lossy to somw dwgrww and that makws thwm unsuitablw for rwusw)

Just a notw; if you'rw going for alpha-T, thw only way to do it is with PNGs. But you'll nwwd a VWRY small-sizwd PNG in ordwr to kwwp within thw 20kb limit. You'll havw bwttwr luck with a flat imagw that's JPEG.

Hey special thanks:
Psycho: you gave to me the image, thanks :)

 - Things i did: Put the image on the avatar and soldatforums resized it (hahahahaha, but its true...)
                       Add 2 effects ( 1st Button style 2nd colour)
                       Add Name
Title: Re: New Sig
Post by: a-4-year-old on August 24, 2007, 02:40:53 pm
put the SKYKADEN thing bigger and behind the biohazard sign.
I like the gold one.
Title: Re: New Sig
Post by: TBDM on August 24, 2007, 02:45:25 pm
RED.


really smooth, wayy better then the old one!
only bad thing is that the 2bottom spikeythings are a bit flat...( becauze of the soldatforums resizing i think )


keep the text like it is, otherways it will be more like allot of other signatures with the name in the midlle and logo infront of it..
