That looks great, but you should try to remove the white space on the left and make it transparent if you can. I think that would improve the overall look of the image. Still, great work as it is.

I agree. Great sig but it needs the transparency on the left.

Well, using an unflattened .png or .gif file it brings up the size to 2xx KB
Example of unflattened .png(NOTE: Do Not use this as a Sig, oh ya who would anyway)

<--too big
The transparentcy doesn't work with a flattened .png, so I try to match the colors as best I can.
For some reason a CRT and LCD monitor's colors display differently, so I see evrything in a differernt shade.
Example, The forum BKG is only grey to me, but slighty green on a CRT.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I will try some new stuff to make it work better ASAP.

Sorry for the PW on my CGI creations link, but I am developing some new stuff that I would like to remain unviewed until I get approvals form certain people.

Can someone get these two images to colectively be under 50.0KB, while maintaining transparency on the first image.

together (like i want displayed)

separate( so you cna see they are 2 diff images)

NVM, I figured it out.

I will keep this post here to show that anyone can make transparent sigs really easily.

If anyone wants a custom sig made, I'm all ears. I think the new 3D look rocks

crud, NVM, i did the math wrong, back to the drawing board.

I figured it out again

<-- Weighing in at 49.99Kb

I dunno why you're having a hard time with transparency and size. It doesn't make it a much larger file:

.143 Beth© · 11-30-2005, 10:02 AM

How did you do that? The main problem for me was maintaining the transparency while converting to .gif

**Vulcan** · 11-30-2005, 12:25 PM

Not to hard, if you keep transparency in Pshop, just go to Save for web and use the gif, it will automatically make it transparent.

.143 Beth© · 11-30-2005, 01:56 PM

TY, all who helped, vulcan and cing especially. I got it under control, and my current sig (11-30-05) is the one I am satisfied with. So check it out.

poe, can I add constructive critisism?

Well, if so, here it is:

1) The addition of TG to his head is flawless, but for a more real effect, possibly add a small, soft, and very transparent maroon/red glow to the tg logo. this would look more like a tatto/cattle branding.

2) It might be just my EXTREEEMEly high screen res (1680x1050), but the words look a little choppy. maybe add more AA, add more glow, or make the words bigger.

3) Keep making banners, because I am getting lonely all by my self, you rock, keep up the good work!!!

poe, I really like that.

That's not a photoshop! That is a picture of the back of my head. It has not been "just branded" and needs no red glow!

Just kidding!
