...To be, or not to be... with mac... lol. Well at first I though of getting a mac just so I wouldn't have to pay for photoshop again. But then I thought "I don't know much about computer's... So if getting a mac costs more than getting photoshop for windows, Ill get windows photoshop and vise-versa". I know what your thinking. Im a cheap bastard. Right? Well if you were, your pretty much right... I don't think I would be if I actually had money, but photoshop costs $200. How am I going to get a MAC(assuming it costs more than 200) if I can't even afford photoshop. I'm still contemplating(sp?...Meaning? lol).

Hey man, I finally got your Havoc sig made, cheack out a page back :)

by the way.... that was back when i went by the alias Solidest Snake....

so that might make a little more sense....

My second sig, also made in paint! sorrry i deleted it, so this is a pic from the day i was level 30, so it might not look as good as it should... also, this is actually the third but just try to imagine it with instead of kid deadpool in that text, solidest snake in text... some dude asked me why i had a pic of deadpool in my pic when i was solidest snake, so i changed me name to Kid Deadpool just for kicks... there ya go, a story of my early days on the BBS

dedicated to the lack of good havok pics.... possibly also a triple post... and a not too good compliation, not bad, but not good

opinions?

I know you probley have alot of request for sigs at the momment, but could you make me one?

What i would like is a really dark gothic looking sig, with like a scary dark version of jack Skellington, from Nightmare Befor Christmas, like on the right side, and my name on it. That would be awsome, somthing like that, it doesnt have to be jack.

shall I leave an advert for the ASM in wheels' thread *snicker snicker* oh that would just be too bad of me...
You know I wondered where everyone went, I think he may be stealing SSM customers too... we'll have to show him the quality of our workmanship, then make him bow down before us...

here ya go, it was a quickie, your one now is cool anyway....

Wow, I'm at my dads house on his comp, and I now realise just how screwed my monitor is. It's getting worn out and going dark but now I see just how bright my sig actually is.

And I can't make any sigs this weekend as I don't have access to PhotoShop but sometime I may install it on this comp aswell.

well, my shameless plug in the general forum is done...

Welcome back, I thought you'd been abducted by aliens or something......

I don't know if you heard, or have been reading the posts from way back, but there was a tryout for the SSM, I got in and Silv3r came a very close second....

We have our eyes on you... don't fuck up I mean keep up the good work :)

Hey, I was wondering if you could tell me how to exract and image (you know, to remove the background) without getting that crappy, frayed-looking border around it? I was wondering because the ones you guys do are so cleanly cropped. Just need some help, thanks : )

There are a number of different ways, depending on your image.
You can mask a layer, this is too lengthy to go into here so maybe look for a tutorial ..... if the background is solid black you can use the lighten blend mode, or if it is white use the darken blend.
Failing that, zoom into your image a ways, use a soft edged brush and very carefully use the eraser tool to get rid of what you dont need.
In photoshop too there is an EXTRACT IMAGE function, but it takes a bit of getting used to to get any good results.

Yeah, I've been using the Extract thingie, but it comes out rather choppy. But thanks!

ive only just started makin sigs today, and i did this one for my friend in 10minutes, i was wondering if its any good for a completely new amateur to PSP and sig making??

I think it's good! I can't tell what the letters spell, but I like it! Kool!

Yea, the ASM is really taking off, I started posting about, a week ago maybe? And already I've learnt so much.

Y3llow, ur sig looks MINT!!

Thanx for the compliment, I think I worked out that it's my 6th sig in PS.

The creator himself has returned to us.

You have only just got PS? What have you been using up until now?

Thats really good for your first sig. I don't use PSP so I don't know if it's good for that but I understand it is easier than PS. So nice work.

Wow, the thread is dead once again! Are there really that many of us who have an actual life?

well sorrrrrrrrrrrrrry if i had to sleep, and then have my flying lesson....

i might make a few sigs today... but i dunno whether to do that, or finally getting around to making my geocities website where i can upload allmy sigs so i can delete em off my comp....

All good advice. There's also the Background eraser in both PSP8 and PS7 (could be in earlier versions of PS, I'm new to that program). Like Soho said, the key is to take your time, and practice.

devil may cry 2 sig... last sig for the day from me... big party tonight! ewooo! go alcohol (or ethanol... the thing that makes our body produce alcohol!)!
