Title: Isoryu's Beginner Sig's (updated)
Post by: isoryu on August 24, 2009, 03:31:30 AM: Hey this is my first time trying to make a sig (or any gfx for that matter). I used one of the template things I saw posted. Figured that would give me a good place to start. I decided to post it to see how any of you might feel about. Let me know how it is for a first timer. Thx

That'll help us give any tips etc.

Post by: isoryu on August 24, 2009, 04:32:07 AM: I used gimp 2.6 because its free. It seems to have a lot of useful features.

One thing I tell everyone when they start out with the templates is make sure to clean up your image.
you have some gray spots below/left of the diamond and there some bits sticking out which need to be removed on the far right of the image.

This is not a bad effort for you first one, I'm sure that gimp has tools and lets you add effects (I've heard it's a good program) so keep practicing and trying new things :)
Title: My second Sig, First animated
Post by: isoryu on August 26, 2009, 06:21:51 AM: I have a whole new respect for anyone who messes with these animations. This was a lot of tedious work. Let me know what you think Thx.

Note: I did not originally create the character art, template or animation. I simply modified them together with Gimp 2.6(I'm still learning and trying to get a sense of things)

PS I am already aware of the gap in the upper left part of the animation. I did not notice until I uploaded onto the internet, I will fix it later.
