Yes, he is shiny now.

Is this any good SwingMan? i was not 100% sure what you were looking for for let me know if its completely wrong also i will change the size if its right.

If the last one was not your taste then maybe this, let me know

**Stygian** · 03-02-2010 12:29 AM

And, if I may ask, what software are you guys using? Is there anything of quality that is also free to download? Nothing that I'd have to pirate, of course >_>

**MementoMori** · 03-02-2010 12:37 AM

we use GIMP/PS CS4/Fireworks

GIMP would be a good place for you to start... it's free of course

**Stygian** · 03-02-2010 01:41 AM

Excellent thanks. Any tutorials you recommend specifically for making sigs and such? Or at least something that will get me acquainted with the necessary tools?

I just want to give something new a shot, and maybe be able to contribute something of my own down the line.

**SwingMan** · 03-02-2010 01:57 AM

I think that the size is fine.

**SwingMan** · 03-02-2010 02:05 AM

i haven't found a better icon for a dreamy nighttime beach girl...
open to ideas...

**Kuhnada29** · 03-02-2010 02:57 AM

thanks

**Stygian** · 03-02-2010 03:22 AM

I scrounged a few tutorials together from googling that I will look at on a later occasion. I didn't find any in-depth beginner tutorials for the latest version of GIMP. And thanks for the GIMPology link. I'll check that out later too.

**Tarsier** · 03-02-2010 04:54 AM

my name should be first on that list, i've been waiting the longest.

**Xedan** · 03-02-2010 05:46 AM

Okay, I gave the sig a major facelift, and I think I more or less captured your second sketch:

The emanating wave is much better. My picture was just sort of a rough sketch. There's not too much one can do with paint. But this is a better representation of what I think would be best:

The black bits represent people. The fuzzy black areas are disintegrated bits. The energy hits the first wave of people and disintegrates all of them, and some slips through the cracks in between people and hits the ones behind them, and then more behind those. I'll try to sketch up a better view from the front.

And if you need a model to work with to make a more action-oriented pose for the main figure, you can try Starkiller, from these:

http://www.videogamesblogger.com/wp-...-artwork-2.jpg (without the lightsaber and maybe tilted back to the right a little bit)

If you can't use that one, try:

http://www.freewebs.com/theforceunle...20troopers.jpg

And zoom it out a bit so you can fit in the entire figure, plus more people.

If my idea is infeasible or I'm just too picky, don't be afraid to tell me to shove it up me bum >_>

EDIT: From the front:

The very first sig I made myself, so simple and basic though

As a notice to the designers of this thread, and all who constantly view this thread:
I iSee_iBelieve, am going to join this group; but before I do, I am going to take a stab at the banner for this thread.
If you guys don't like my work afterwards then I will re-do it until you guys are 100% satisfied with it.

Edit: I have completed a beta banner. I have PM'd it to MementoMori for a confirmation.
If any other gfx designers for the shop want to take a look at the banner just send me a PM.
