That on top of one of his customary backrgrounds with the name and crab symbol. Pretty simple stuff, but its amazing what can be made in Photoshop.

    I think you're right Grimm, I added a glow to the text too.

    From Hida:

    <b><i>Wow those are some great sigs! Makes me wish I could have more than one posted at a time. ;p

    For the sigs themselves, Grimm's two are looking mighty fine. I like the first one with Kisada most at the moment. Everything fits so well in it. The colorful background is better than before though a more metalish, Japanese, or NSy might be better.

    As for [Legionnaired's] "decepation" one while I like the sig, I don't like the words as decepation isn't that much of a Crab trait. Change that and it rocks. [Legionnaired's] twin pistol one is cool. Don't know what needs changing and I love the "Perfection is only an evolution away" quote in any of the sigs. The thin one is efficent and to the point. Very nice. The only major nitpick is I like Hida Tsuzua rather than hida tsuzua.

    Dubbilex's made me do a double take as it's so beautiful. While I didn't expect it, the subdued nature sets the piece. I would like the H and the T capitalized though like I mentioned about the thin sig. By the way, can I get the text of the words in the background? They look great but I'm curious to what they say.

    And thank you all!
    </i></b>

    Alright, I've made the changes requested:

    The text has no special meaning that I can myself ascertain-here it is, verbatim:


    <i> "All the acquisitions or losses
    wrought by nature on individuals, through the influence of the environment
    in which their race has long been placed, and hence through
    the influence of the predominant use or permanent..."</i>


    I'll do my very best in fixing the name-I don't know how easy it'll be, however. I'll post the image again when I finish <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    The ones I've created are a bit too far back, I'll post them here to make it easier for everyone.

    I changed the first one to fit a more Japanese style by adding the bamboo background and the red pillars with the crossbeams (I don't know the correct term for that structure). I also changed the size of the font a bit to see more of the red structure, as well as the pistol outline. Although I must admit that is looks a bit cluttered now, I may have to tweak with the glow effect on the text a bit. I changed the background on the second one as well, adding a more metallic texture as opposed to the stone/metallic one that was there before.

    Well the first one dosen't suck imo. Hope the gifs don't suck with dark backgrounds.

    Edit, they do suck with a dark background...
  • GrimmGrimm Join Date: 2003-04-13 Member: 15448Members
    Wow. Very very cool, I like all the reds (my favorite color), and the style/setup is very nicely done. One thing you need to fix though: The text in the last 3 is barely legible, you'll probably want to make the font larger.

    Sadly I don't have anything planned for P1k (for risk of being too spammy). So this is my thread for that (next post is either here or "OMG NS2.0 is OUT!!!!1111).

    As for sig pics-

    Grimm- I agree the top pic looks too cluttered now. The older flowery background was better, though a simpler background along the lines mentioned above might work.

    Legionnaired- I like the caps better on the bottom thin one. As for the top once, much better. I like the etheral quaility of it.

    Tseepra- The last three with Kisada I don't like. Don't look right. However, the first one with Ronfar rocks. Love the quote (very meish in game and somewhat in person) and the way everything works out. The I in the it in "it is all or nothing" needs to be capped. By the way, what's the pic in the background of the rat/fox/wolf guy and bird?

    Dubbilex- Looks much better now. Can't think a way to make it better and the words in the background fit and look great (I also wanted to make sure it didn't say "Hida suks" or something back there also.

    Thank you all! I've gotten a better turnout than I thought and all the pieces rock (yes even Mr. Pink's <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->).

    All three sigs took me a combined 45 minutes of time, we're not insane, we're just good with the shopping of the Photos.

    Sirus, how did you make your sig?

    It was Legionnaired's work.

    Wait, I'll compete, but what's the blackmail Flayra pic? Is it of him coding in a scorpian? 'cause if it is...
  • LegionnairedLegionnaired Join Date: 2002-04-30 Member: 552Members, Constellation
    I say we all make a pact, everyone make sigs, then we share the pics with everyone who made sigs? I'm already planning on showing Grimm and Tseepra the pics, if, of course, I win.

    **Edit: Back to the colorful background (my favorite of them all as well). Didn't make a new post because I don't know if I should do sometihng for my 100th post (altohugh its not that big a deal).

    Well I've broken the 1000th post mark (for those curious it was me thanking everyone for NS 2.0). Grimm, I definatly like that background more. Can you move the 1911 so that the barrel points to the "Nothing can save you" like before?

    More than happy too, moving the gun makes it a bit more open. I'll admit that nobody wants to stare at an infested wall for too long, having a portion of it visible makes it a bit cooler.

    Forgot to mention, you can see it up there because its still close enough. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I like the infested wall background as I'm a major alien player. And remember kids, Kharaa do <i>not</i> have the taint just like the Nezumi.

    Edit- The reason I wanted to move the gun down was to put emphasis the "Nothing can save you" part, funny that way.

    Edit 2- I've been thinking that the colorful background might be best. None of the others have fit as well as that one.

    Man, I just missed my 1337th post. Should've done the same. Anyway, Legionnaired will win, hands down. Or is that up, because we're cheering for him?

    For the pact, do you want me to try to send the pics to everyone at the same time or just send them to the winner and they can send them off? Either way, I'm fine.
