I just about have tears of joy rolling down my face!

The only thing... I think the quote didn't go well on the picture. It's too long and hard to read. I think it'll be a lot better if I put that quote outside of that sig, in normal letters.

If instead you could simply put "tyrantt23" with some sort of effect (brushed metal, portal letters, orange-to-blue colors/embossing) I don't know... just whatever effect you think would go well and that doesn't take a lot of work.

In the meantime, I'll go ahead and put that for my sig... omg... seriously, I have no words to express how much I liked my little alien hugging the companion cube in the portal background!



EDIT:
Also, if you could make it a tid-bit longer horizontally, but if not, that's alright... I'm still in love with the sig!

EDIT EDIT:
Never mind about the width of the sig. It actually falls perfectly symmetrical to the rest of my sig.

EDIT EDIT EDIT:
If you can post that same sig, without the quote (just plain with the background, my avatar, and the cube), I'll try to play around with different variations of my screen name, inverting the picture (so that the avatar is on the other side), and maybe adding a shorter quote. I'm sure that stuff would be simple to do on GIMP if I play around with it a bit. You got the hard part done and it looks beautifully beautiful!

I was pretty bored and decided to give it a go...you don't need to use it, but I thought you should see it!



if you like it...then I could eliminate the weird shadow thing that I forgot to erase while making it...if not then (haha just kidding)

But now I feel bad about choosing one over the others... they're all so beautiful and companiony.

I'll pick Goldney's sig because it's not too cluttered even with the quote in there. I also really liked the font. It matches the alien...

KingOfGlass and Slayer, thanks for making a sig as well. I loved them all and would use all of them if I could.

Would anyone care for a cookie as a reward?

Dibs on the cookie!

Haven't used Photoshop in ages. I just made this for myself so if anyone wants a sig made i'll be happy to make you one.

Hello. So, I finally changed my avatar completely (for the time being anyway), and I think it's time for a completely new sig too. Ummm, I think the dimensions of my current sig are perfect, so I'd prefer a sig that's pretty close to this size. Uhhh, I'd like my username in it, and I do tend to like fairies. Hmm, that already sounds exactly like the sig that I already have, but I am looking for new one. Sooooo yeah. THANK YOU!!

Edit: Hehe awww what about with this pic? It's not a fairy, and I might not stick with it long, but it'd be cool to see one made anyway.

But fairies are good. *subliminal message*fairies.

I might ask for a sig sometime soon....

Just need to figure out what I want, heh.

I think there's an overdose of pink in this sig but it's all I could think of and I coulnd't find any fairies that are easy to cut out..
Upto you if you want to use it.

What's wrong with your current one? It's signature perfection!

Hehe thanks Terror!! It's really cute, I'd probably want something more perfected, bah I'm picky.

Goldney, omg yeah I know it's quite perfect. I just need a change! Ahhhh dunno what to do.

I must agree. I had the pleasure and the arrogance of editing it, and I must agree it's a great sig. A fairy, a tale in cursive, a name. Simplicity, delicacy. Art.

Enough praising xD

Maybe we could develop another one but based on the same idea? A fairy, something fairy-tale like, preferably one that matches the beauty in Mes' current avatar, if that's ever possible. Will come up with something when I have more time

Hehe! Dammit you guys! Okay fine, can I get a color change or something? Honestly, it's stagnating.

Are landscapes ok?

I might have an idea.

Sweet, that's easy enough so that even I can try something.

Here are a few color-changed versions... and it's alright if you don't use them. I'm just trying to play around a bit with GIMP so it was a bit of a learning lesson to me... that and it only took me 5 minutes.

Sleepy Cyan:




St Patrick's Celebration:




Color Enhanced:



And my favorite - Simplicity:

Haha this reminds me I have a folder on my pc filled with Mes avys and sigs. I guess they reproduce on their own there.

btw mes I made the red signature you asked but you never replied lol

-----------------------

Tomorow, free afternoon. Then I'll try my artistic rungs on a new sig for Mes. For now, let's behold the amusement of different coloured sigs. They're like different coloured Yoshis xD

Anyone feel up to a Taosaur sig? Anything incorporating maybe a dinosaur image (not a raptor, but maybe a t-rex or one of the big herbivores) with some kind of black/white yin-and-yang theme would be great.

Maybe incorporate any one of these quotes:

You are that vast thing that you see far, far off with great telescopes.
Alan Watts

God is what nobody admits to being, and everybody really is.
Alan Watts

When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.
Lao Tzu

Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.
Lao Tzu

Alternately, something with a lizard by a roadside and the text: Taosaur Lizard of the Way.

hahaha... different colored Yoshis.

I was thinking more like a rainbow, but I like the Yoshi analogy.

ps. How did you do to change the color of just "Mes Tarrant" and the fairy clothing? I assume you're using photoshop, but would it be similar on GIMP? And yes... I'm a complete newb on these picture applications.

GIMP?
That's not nearly as good as Photoshop.

Get Photoshop!

Photoshop costs money. GIMP free!

Thanks Kromoh!! Yeah I got that PM, but at that time I was I think already contemplating getting rid of the avvy all together. Meh. But thanks! And yeah I already have these color changed ones saved on my computer. Hehe I had forgotten what a variety you gave me!

Thanks tyrantt!! Omg that last one is beautiful.. brings a tear to my eye.

Edit: Whoa, 3 's in one post. Ohhh wait, that makes 4. I must really like this smiley or something.

kromoh, I love the silver one it's gorgeous

I'll see what I can work up for Mes and Taosaur, if I have any free time. I still have to finish a story. Got three pages to write tonight.

Well, I actually have an erm... free copy of photoshop.
It's under my Windows OS though, and I've been trying to make the switch to Linux more permanent lately. I didn't want to boot unto Windows just to play around with photoshop, so I just played around with GIMP instead.

I've actually read that GIMP can be just as powerful as photoshop. The only difference is that the interface might be a little bit different. According to what I read, most people who are used to photoshop don't like GIMP because it's a bit foreign to them, a little bit different to work on. Feature-wise, though, GIMP is just as rich as photoshop... according to what I read.

I'm a newbie on both, so take my words with a grain of salt.

tyrrant, I'll explain it simple:

First, you select only the bits that you wanna change. Then, you invert the selection, and copy those onto a new layer. You will have:

- pic with holes on the parts that you want changed
- base pic

Then, you create a colour adjust layer, just above the base layer. That way, it will change the colour of the whole pic, but then the topmost layer will correct the parts that you don't want changed:

- layer to mask what you don't want changed
- colour adjusting layer, making the fairy the way you want it to, but messing up the rest
- base pic: pink fairy, black background

If you want to e.g. change the hair to a set of colour and the dress to another one, there may be various ways of doing it. But I myself recommend doing it in two steps. First you do the step above with the dress, save the image into one layer, and then do the same process to adjust the hair.


Note that this is surely not the only way of doing it. Things like this are like a language: there are thousand ways of saying the same thing. You just need to know a bit of gammar and be creative.
