Re: Share your Graphix Link | by on 2007-04-29 07:44:44

Well that was what I originally thought at first. To make it similar with the BLEACH theme, but when I first started out, I didn't have any 100% guarantee on what I was actually doing so I played around a bit. The only thing that was kept since the first 'print' (like blue prints? XD), was the gradient and the image of Mikuru. Now, due to the 100 pixel/height limit, my first signature had to be thrown away. It was a good idea too, though it lacked space so I changed it up a bit and went on with a whole new different approach. After I started on a new signature, keeping the gradient idea and just moving Mikuru over to this canvas, I chose a different image of Haruhi and Yuki and laid them out. I changed how they look as well, so they all appear as if they're standing right next to each other where in reality, they were each on different images I chose. Now, the words were just something that popped up. I first decided to keep the SOS Brigade logo there, but then I was like "whatever" and tried out more things and this is what I came up with. The small animation, was just out of nowhere, too and it was really easy to do. The color of the font's effects and whatnot, was just my taste in matching. The signature, after it was completed, was too colorful to be turned into Gendou.com theme, but the avatar is ok since it's on its own border, matching the links next to it. So, from now on, I can either have a matching theme with color, a matching theme using Gendou.com's color, or my current theme now. It's new, so I experimented around a bit. [side note] I also can't make a signature 100 px/height exactly, because I use my new tradition (in sigs), using "-------", so yeah... XD -------

Wow, very thorough explanation...=o I see...^^ I wish I could do simple animations like that with no effort..xP But anyways, I like it. =) It still looks a little odd how the themes are different, but it's not a big deal. (Yeah, I like your new tradition of using -----.) How long does it take you to make a signature and avatar? My deviantART! Link (from LoZ) claimed by me! Current obsession: STAR TREK. REALLY.

@ Dangel: you use GIMP or PS? @ suzaku: you use GIMP right?          m y . L i F E . i . t r a d e . i n . f o r . y o u r . P A i N .

Suzaku:: How long does it take you to make a signature and avatar? Not that long, really. Every animation you've seen from me so far, I did on my own. No tutorials or anything, except for the yellow/gold one. I was "inspired" from a different tutorial, to make that neon flash effect. Avatars, for me, are fast to make. Rin:: I use Photoshop. -------

Re: Share your Graphix Link | by on 2007-04-29 08:50:14

@ Rin: Yeah I use GIMP @ Dangel: Woah, I just figured out how you did the bllinking effect. O_O Anyways... Wow, coooooooool...I've been trying to do really simple animations, and they work but they're so boring compared to yours. XP My deviantART! Link (from LoZ) claimed by me!

@all: who already own Adobe Cs3?(not just PsCs3) Any suggestions for a nice avatar and sig lol? XD I wanna make something that means "SMILE!"... maybe Haruhi can do it for me XD

Re: Share your Graphix Link | by on 2007-04-29 08:52:21

Show me some of your work. I'd like to see 'em and the blinking effect, for my 'first time', was really easy although... expect me to create a much more difficult task. Hint: A character's eye, will move! That's goin' to be tough! T-T -------

Re: Share your Graphix Link | by on 2007-04-29 08:56:02

@ Dangel: Show me some of your work. Ermmm...I don't want to. >_> I don't even like them myself. XP They're too plain. Sweetness. Maybe I should play around with the blinking effect. A character's eye, will move! O_o what are you planning? XD My deviantART! Link (from LoZ) claimed by me! Current obsession: STAR TREK. REALLY. Icons from here

Well what does it sound like to you? And show your work. There really aren't such projects classified as "bad" here. Sure you'll get comments that might be negative, but they help you learn and get better, which is important. -------

Thanks... I'm going to do work now~ brb later~

Re: Share your Graphix Link | by on 2007-04-29 10:25:33

I did a few changed to my current avatar. Which one do you thinks is better? I changed the brightness/contrast a bit and also adjusted the blinking's time a bit as well. -------

Re: Share your Graphix Link | by on 2007-04-29 10:49:34

@ Dangel: Hmm...I personaly like the top one best (lighter). xP I think the timing of the blinking is better than the old one too. I changed my avatar and signature...give me suggestions? My deviantART! Link (from LoZ) claimed by me! Current obsession: STAR TREK. REALLY. Icons from here

Re: Share your Graphix Link | by on 2007-04-29 10:54:42

スチームボーイ!! (O.O) It's pretty nice, though I never thought you would make something like this using this anime. It's pretty good though. The movie's great! o(@.@)o So you said you like the old avatar better, but you prefer the new timing of the blinking effect? -------

Re: Share your Graphix Link | by on 2007-04-29 10:58:59

LOL. XD The (O.O) made me wanna hug you. xP You mean...you didn't expect me to make an avatar and signature using that anime? Or? Thanks. ^_^ (Yeah the movie is amazing. :D) No, I meant I like this one the most. I seem to like lighter themes. My deviantART! Link (from LoZ) claimed by me! Current obsession: STAR TREK. REALLY.

Re: Share your Graphix Link | by on 2007-04-29 11:02:07 (edited 2007-04-29 11:05:29)

i think i like the lighter one better, it's easier on the eyes :) and, i think you should try slower blinking, like: first: eyes wide open second: eyes half open last: eyes closed =) like          m y . L i F E . i . t r a d e . i n . f o r . y o u r . P A i N .

Re: Share your Graphix Link | by on 2007-04-29 11:04:30

Yeah, I agree with Rin. The last two blinks were a bit quick... My deviantART! Link (from LoZ) claimed by me! Current obsession: STAR TREK. REALLY. Icons from here

Re: Share your Graphix Link | by on 2007-04-29 11:05:50

@ suzaku: are you trying to imitate the font used in the siggie for the ava? =) i think it would be more compatible if the text in the ava was as fat as the one on the sig =)          m y . L i F E . i . t r a d e . i n . f o r . y o u r . P A i N .
