[quote=Samoh]@Wayne It's important that your border either blends in with the sig, or heavily contrasts it. Also bright bold colours like red and blue (IMO) don't look that great for borders. Not when they haven't got a blur on or such. Although with a higher quality image the sig woulda probably been much nicer, I do like the flowy text xD[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]I know. Green and red are two colours that are very present in this sig, I chose to go for a red border. I think a green border fits it better though. Turns out I wasn't too lazy to do it again with an image with a higher resolution. Also, I just took a random font and colour, not the same as the last time but the main thing is I redid it for the border and because I used the image that is supposed to have a good resolution. I know this text doesn't look all that good :P [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/851/vladimirb.jpg/][IMG]http://img851.imageshack.us/img851/7607/vladimirb.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Edit: have to say I still don't see that much of a difference, but that's probably just me.[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]I'll post more random things I try soon btw, I'm just trying to work with all kind of different techniques atm, still need to improve a lot in terms of using simple techniques. Even using brushes is something I don't do often, really need to work on that. *leaves to look at some GIMP tutorials* (yes, that's right Amanda, I look at them)[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]Its all practice practice practice. Just gotta keep at it and it'll get easier and easier.[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]True, I just need to start working on some specific techniques and improving them instead of randomly fucking around doing different things every time I guess :P[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]I started with screwing around just to get a feel for the program. Then I started looking for for things to specifically achieve. Then I started refining it.[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]The thing is I always have specific things I want to achieve whenever I see an image. If I see a sort of frosty image like Janna's Snow Queen skin, I want to add snow effects, icy winds and all that stuff (though in this case the original image actually has some effects already, probably a bad example :P). If I see a dragon, I want blazing fire coming from his mouth while smoke erupts from his nose, I want burning buildings on the background etc. And then I realise I can't get stuff like that done :P[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]Also, rendering is hard :( [img=http://i.imgur.com/1AfKg.png] His legs are not supposed to be like that, I just screwed up and had to erase more of the original image to make it look slightly better. Those legs are really a terror though D:[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]doesn't look too bad. It's usable ^_^ And if all we worked with was the torso ad arms it works out.[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]Thanks ^^ I tried changing the legs and reuploaded my latest effort, but I give up :P that original image is just a bit vague (yes, that's right, I blame the artwork and not myself huehuehue)[/quote]
