Works In Progress

[Stryker82]

Well, this thread will be for anyone who has a Work In Progress, wether it be an Avatar, a Sig, or whatever else you want for your Graphics.

IF you need any help, any tips, hints, or Constructive Critisizm, then come here.

Right now i am working on a new Sig for myself. I'll post a GIF of it right now.

Remember, this is a Work In Progress, and is not fully completed.

I am stumped... Dunno what to do now... I need a background..

Help me out everyone:)

(Sticky Please, can be useful for a long time:))

http://pages.ivillage.com/stryker82//Stryker82Cloudinprogress.gif

And i also wanna know where the Stryker82 should go... Top Or Bottom?

[mlj2k]

nice! that looks good as it is stryker! well done! :tup:

[cHilli]

hmm, with such a detailed pic, i dont think a BG is necessary:)

[Stryker82]

So where shluld "Stryker" go?

And doesnt it seem kinda empty on the right hand side tho?

[[N]eto]

I need help with this.

Remember, I'm a newbie at PhotoShop, so please help me by giving me steps to make something cool.

I think that:

the sides are over done, where u can see the grains, or stains, or woot ever they are..:)

[[stick-jây-tee]]

i think the stryker82 should be on bottom, and instead of the little tab style thing on the tab where you have the stryker82 now, just cut that off and make it a diagonal type thingy...

also, i think the background should be a 3dsmax (or for you.. if you've figured it out yet.. since i sure as hell haven't) a Maya thinger... the kind with the tubey things flyin all over

If you are talking about mine, what do you mean?

Prince

[Stryker82]

Hmm...

Well, i completely re-constructed the top of Cloud's wing, but taking bits and pieces of it fro ma downsized Cloud picture.. Ican't find one with a decent shot of his Wing... so it looks crappy-ish...

Well, i did this b4 i rad ur comments etc., so lol

Wha td ou think now...

http://pages.ivillage.com/stryker82//Stryker82Cloudinprogress2.gif

Hmm... I kinda developed my own way of doing the Extruded Crystal bit... :)

Hmm.. Maybe i overdid the vectoring...

[Dark Realms]

why dont u do what i did with my cloud sig..?...i got a pic similar to that one, and i basicly re-construct it....using mainly PS and illustrator and 3D max ;)..if u have those progs ...llol

[Stryker82]

Cuz i am way to laz for that lol

And no i dont have those:)

Can u find me a pic of Cloud (this one) that still has a wing, weasily removable?

[~*BeAuTiFuL*~]

I think that sig u made is kool stryker!!!

[Dark Realms]

i can give u the .psd file of my old sig with just cloud in it...as i recreated it at about 600x400 pixels ;).....

[Stryker82]

Thats cuz i made the wing is why it suxxorz lol

Doon as i find a good piccie of cloud to take the wing form.. Well..

L33tNESS!!!

[Dark Realms]

i have only got .psd file of cloud. I can convert it to a jpeg and post it here if you want ;)

[Stryker82]

I got a good one now:)

Which one is better?

http://pages.ivillage.com/stryker82//Stryker82_2Cloud.gif
or

http://pages.ivillage.com/stryker82//Stryker82_2CloudWhite.gif

The white one gives more Contrast, and that make it better for some people...

What do u all think now?

[Wendy]

Decisions...decisions. They are both good, but if I had to choose just one I guess it would be the white.

[cHilli]

The plain white:)

[[stick-jây-tee]]

the crazy background one

[[N]eto]

The crystallized background.

:tup:

Prince

[Stryker82]

Hmm... Right now i have a vote of 3 - 2 for the White... :/

Hmm... I think im gonna use white, but i still need to find otu how t fix that damned wing... Its all pointy na stuff...

[cHilli]

Gimmie 5 mins:)

[cHilli]

any good..:)?

[Stryker82]

Thats a pretty sweet Red X, but i like Cloud more:);)

I got 4 - 3 for white BG now...

1 Grapjical master says White, and another says the crystal one lol

(TMW on White, KF on Crystal, lol Morti)

[Popa§murf69]

definately white

[Stryker82]

I decided to actually open the PSD up again in PS (not doen fer a week a na bit lol)

Here is so far..

http://pages.ivillage.com/stryker82//Stryker82NewestCloudProgress.gif

:mad:

Damned Wing

[[N]eto]

Yes the wing is f'ed! Try fading it a bit, then apply a new layer under it...

:rolleyes:

Prince

[Dark Realms]

i dont like your sigs.... i dont like the odd shapes you use..sure they are distinctive but a bit strange...0_o

[[N]eto]

Well, add an inner glow or something, to have the wing blend with the background, because with the Cloud renders, the wing is more f'ed than ever!

:rolleyes:

Maybe an outer glow too. Just make it precise... And again, try the technique for a cool background that I told you about. It was a mistake at first, but after I used it on Joe's signature, it looked cool.

:)

Prince

[Stryker82]

Eh? uh.. How would inner glow make the wing belnd?

[[N]eto]

Just try it, numb nuts.

Prince

[Stryker82]

Ye, it does didly sh!t

U talkin bout tryin to fix the white line thing? It's suppossed ot be beveled an embossed.. Looks a lot bettr before it's saved as GIF:eek: :eek: :eek:

[[N]eto]

Why are you saving it as .GIF?

:rolleyes:

Prince

[Stryker82]

Transparency

Here, i messed with it a little..

http://pages.ivillage.com/stryker82//StrykCloudRevamp.gif

Whaddya all think? I'll post it in the other one too...

[Abaddon]

woah that one is way cooler the darker one

[[N]eto]

Now it's perfect!

:)

Prince

[[stick-jây-tee]]

i like how ya fixed up the background and that wing yo!:tup:

[Stryker82]

Heh, Ty Guys:)

I love this one:D

[[N]eto]

I played a little.

http://pages.ivillage.com/neto470//CloudMimic.gif

:rolleyes:

Yep, looks way better before saving it as .GIF. I'll have to figure out a way to get rid of that horrid line. This is just my copy of your signature, Stryker... I wont use it. It's mearly for experimenting.

Prince

[[N]eto]

Issue here:

http://pages.ivillage.com/neto470//MSv003.gif

1st: Need I explain? Perfect except that background shows up.
2nd: Background, but perfect quality.
3rd: Transperancy is working like I want it, but the quality is low...

Err... Well, any help or tips to make it better? I'm sorry if this is copying way too much of your style, Stryker. I'll just use another if you feel that way.

Prince

[cHilli]

Oh FFS, I can see Jeff blowing a fuse..

[[N]eto]

Well, now that I think about it, it's not his style - TGN (http://www.gamer-networks.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11332).

:rolleyes:

Prince

[[stick-jây-tee]]

your much better at your old style.. stick with it ;)

[[N]eto]

Nah, I like to expand my horizons.

Prince

[Abaddon]

Ye, and you bi.tched at me for fixing it.

ShadowPrince
1st: Need I explain? Perfect except that background shows up.

1) Not Perfect. You copied my style of Cutouts, and used the same fu.cking character at first. You're ripping off my sh.it, so yo ushift to a different character, bu basically the same.

2)Use Mozilla, IE Sucks for Gfx, It doesnt detect the Transparency in PNGs... Go visit my thread called Mozilla, IE or sumthing lie kthat for more Info...

ShadowPrince
Nah, I like to expand my horizons.

When yo usee someone else do something that is really nice, so just rip it form them?


ShadowPrince
Well, now that I think about it, it's not his style - TGN.

FFS, I havn't bee nto TGN for ages, excpet for yesterfday actually.. There was a thread for Ratign Sigs so i put mine up for Rates... And i made Cloud, and my other Sigs, long before yesterday :| So 3dgurl makes 3 Sigs with sum cutouts an u imply that im stealing style? You of all people should know thta direct linking to another forum is against the rules...

Posted by Legend
Love the new sig Prince
Ye, cuz you like mine, and he ripped offa mine eh;)?

And if this was actually an origional idea by you, like my Cloud was, then this is what i would tell you:

The stroke on Squall looks Horrid, get rid of it, or change it

You only made this cuz u had the PSD of my sig to work from huh?

MY Advice - Go fuc.k yourself, and stop stealing ideas

[[stick-jây-tee]]

chill dude.. so he liked your style and wanted to try it out... we've all done it.. nothing wrong with it... as he said.. its expanding your horizons.. helps you get better


they never said that you were a bad person for stealing a style.. they mentioned that the style was similar to the other guys...... lay off.. just a sig anyway

[Stryker82]

Ye, well, i get a great sig down, and then it gets ripped...

And look at it FFS.... Ah, f.uck, forget it

Check this Sig out, it's the greatest!

ViPeR-ReBeL's Sig at TGN

Goddamn, i love that lol...

Chekc it, i put my sig up for Rates:
(I posted 3 Sigs, Mine, My old one, and TDM's that i did... Mine was at the bottom)

Posted By Spiro at TGN
Bottom = 9.0 - NICE work man! very impressive, could of been more smooth along the edges

Posted By Fr[e]ak at TGN
VERY NICE i like bottom: )

Posted By ViPeR-ReBeL at TGN
9 for bottom, very secksi man... i wont talk about the other 2 cause... they are disgraceful to ur third one lmao

[cHilli]

chill dude.. so he liked your style and wanted to try it out... we've all done it.. nothing wrong with it... as he said.. its expanding your horizons.. helps you get better


Good graphics people make their own styles, as i and Jeff have..

Ye, i was gonna mentoin u before, how yo udon't like people rippin ur styles or makin a Sig like one u have for sumone or summit.... but i guess i forgot when i as posting..

Yea, i found sumthing i like to do to a Sig, and i don't want everyone goin around makin the same Sigs, cuz then stuff get's really boring looking, Like c's Sig he posted in Gold Sacuer like 2 years ago LOL, Remember thta c?

I dug it up an u closed it Rofl...

[[N]eto]

I'm sorry. It only took me 1 day to "copy" your style, so I guess I'll just have to take it off since you worked so hard creating it! Geeze, everyone here has copied styles before. This was mearly an experiment for me. I was looking for a way on how I could use this with my own styles to make "better" signatures.

I'll have to figure out a way to get rid of that horrid line.
Ye, and you - at me for fixing it.


I asked you to fix it, but did I ever ask you how you did it? I found my own way to do that! I still wonder how on Legend's and Dark Man's signatures, those grayish lines appear near the edges, that doesn't happen to me.

) Not Perfect. You copied my style of Cutouts, and used the same - character at first. You're ripping off my -, so yo ushift to a different character, bu basically the same.

Remember I said, "send me the file and I'll fix it for you." Well, that's one of the reasons I made the 1st using your character! Then, I remember I had an awesome Squall picture (and you don't like Squall!), so I decided to use it.

You only made this cuz u had the PSD of my sig to work from huh?

What the heck?! You never even sent it or provided it to anyone! How was I gonna get it? No, I made this signature all from scratch. Yes, of course, having your signature in mind. Now, if you say I "copied" your style, are you saying that my signature is equal to yours? Well, I really don't think so!

Ok, I'm done.

[Stryker82]

No, i made mine in a day, and then never too kany time to fix any of it.

@sttikjt - Ye, but it's like the same fu.cking thing as mine, it's alright to go for another style, but not if you fu.ckin make a sig just like someones elses. That'd be like me putting my name on yor curent sig, yo uwouldn't like that wold ya? Well you gith not care, but i do, i don't want that happenin to origional stuff that i've done

I never said i don't like Squall, i just like Cloud more... Plus i've beaten every FF game + KH, and.. Hey damn, im making a sig with Kain next:)

What the heck?! You never even sent it or provided it to anyone

Ye, i put it upo for d/l in this exact thread

I still wonder how on Legend's and Dark Man's

Ye i know why they there, i cna fix em, i've jsut already made em and there NP with em...

[[N]eto]

Oh, well, just to make it clear, I had no intentions of making you mad. This, again, is just an experiment. And, I did not download that PSD file of yours.

Prince

[cHilli]

Thats it..


Closed for discussion,

None of yee reopen, or reply, there will be consequences..;)


Neto - You copied his sig, a mortal sin.
