Where's the text? What's with the "3-d" render of Mickey? It really ruins King Mickey when you tried to make him look mirror-listic, and the text isn't even visible (or I'm just blind? >_>). The background is decent, I give you that. All in all, the render is horrible. This is the wrong time to make him look like a mirror, 3D thing. You should really consider on how to blend the text, and how big it is. I can't find it at all, and that's bad: it should be able to be find at a snap, since this isn't like trick-sigs. or whatever. The background color should be a bit more colorful. Just the render there, and some brushes, and maybe like three layers was it? Hell, I don't even see a border on it. :/
I don't see your signature King_Mickey. =/
First Sig - nice, but the render is a bit on the blurry side.. Have you learned how to render yet? If not, then sharpen the render up a bit. The background is nice, but you should really concentrate on adding some smudges and filters (whatever you like the most, I'd duplicate the background, then grussain blur it by about 4. After that, make a transparency layer, and filter it with some Clouds or Plasmas. Overlay both, with the original background as the base. And for your render, don't ever merge the render til you're done with it, like sharpening, etc. Also remember to play around with the layer settings like opacity, and such.) If you're going to smudge, then use the brush name "Vine", and with around 20% or 40% opacity. However, duplicate the layer first before messing with the smudges. Possible, you should dodge the Riku render a bit so it can stand out a bit. All in all, pretty nice. Second Sig - I see you learned how to make a pop-out now... but your attempt lacks depth. The thing is, when people make pop-outs they just let the render be the center of attention. People ALSO pay attention to the background! So make sure the background is as good, and have the background to have similar colors to the render. As I said for the first sig criticism, needs more works. It seems to me like you're using abstract brushes. Try to broaden the brushes you use in any artwork (but if you want it to specifically just be abstract, fractuals, etc. theme artwork then just use brushes classified as that), and mess around with the brushes to yield better results like disortions.
Oh, so it was a stockphoto then? I see, I see. Still, the text matched! :P
This is what I made in less than ten minutes. This? Wow, I really go to get some sleep. Too tired to even bother making it good, sorry Kingdom. =/ Oh well: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y179/ThatOneGuyRulez/Signatures/Kingdom_97.2_Sig.png Next time, ask at a better time to request something and be more specific to what you want on the signatures. >.>
The final boss should've been all of the organization members!
What exactly do you need tutorials of for what image-editing program? Paint.NET or Paint Shop Pro? I'm going to assume you're asking for Paint Shop Pro tutorials. Here are some links, and I checked through them to see if they got a nice list of tutorials to save you the grief. Pinoy 7 - Has a lot of tutorials I see... Check it out! Baycongroup - Um, since you said you want to better your skills, the basics are always good. Corel - Well, lookie' here even the creators has a tutorial section. Some basics and intermediate I believe... PSP Links - Has a whole array of websites of PSP tutorials I think. About - Good grief, even about.com has tutorials. Well, check these out? Sumrallworks - Try this out too! BTW, there are a lot more tutorials out there. Just use google, askjeeves, yahoo to find the tutorials! And FYI, if you want better help then you should really specify the PSP version you're using.
I'm not sure if it's allowed to link to another websites, but this website is a must for renders and tutorials on how to render. If this isn't allow, please edit my post I guess... www.planetrenders.net - just join up, search around and you'll find your answer. However, I'm going to warn you: it's not an easy task to render the good stuff,
lol... what I'm telling you is a basic way for pop-out signatures. Also, this is assuming you have a fresh start on making pop-out stuff. If the steps I told to you didn't work, then just ask! 1) First, make your background. Save it as .png or .jpg (usually .png for better compression and better quality). * 2) Then go to file > new. Set the width and height to be BIGGER than the background you made. WAIT! Before going on, press the + sign beside "Advanced Options" and in the "Fill with" box, fill it with transparency. Press OK. ** 3) Now go to File > Open as Layers. Pick the background that you save as .png or .jpg. Your background should appear now, with the checkerboard as the background. 4) Now get the render you have, and just move it over the background you have (if the render is too big, resize it. Left-click the render, go to Image, then pick Scale Image. Then just scale it down.) until you like it the way it is. 5) Now go to Layer > Anchor Layer (or Merge Down, whichever is enable). 6) Now save the pop-out sig as a .png or .gif! I'm pretty sure you can save it as .png (or .gif, but .png is better for its compression). *** * - If you are new to GIMP, then finish up your background with everything (text, effects, etc.). ** - How big to make your transparent background depends on how big you want the render to be. For example, I got a 350 x 120 signature. Then the transparent background is going to have to be about 450 x 150. (Usually, I add 100 to the width and +30 to the width if I'm making a pop-out signature). For the render, you got to scale it down til you like how it is, move it around, and etc. (it's basic, you'll get what I mean once you try.) *** - For the checkerboards to go away, you must save the image as a .png or .gif. Go with .png for compression, or .gif for animations. However, most pop-out aren't meant for animations, so save it as .png. Save it as any other, and it won't have a transparent background. No ands, buts, if, whatever.
I prefer your first work; it really is good. Your latest signature looks like you just smudged the crap outta' the image with some gradients flares. However, that's a good thing! It's just, your signature is far too bright. Perhaps contrasting it could help, or darken the area where you have that face of some dude (I'm not sure if this is just all perspective, but I swear I can see a face in your signature that looks like Sephiroth near your text).
Possibly the greatest moment for me in KH1 was when Sephiroth appeared. lol, I went "Oh ma' gosh!!" 'cause he's the coolest villian I have ever seen!
My favorite Organization XIII member is Roxas.
True, but it's a hassel since I usually play KH2 more often than not without the computer on so.. =[
Hey. Could anyone give me some codes for Star Ocean 3? I got the USA (NA) version, and could you put it in AR Max format? Codejunkies isn't working for me. BTW, is it possible to convert codes from version 7+ Codebreaker to AR Max then to older cheat devices like GSv3? If so, how? Thanks!
Awesome! Thanks for the codes! However, I got a question. Is it possible to find the music, like Passion for the music mod? Or is it just world-and-battle related songs?
