Topic awaiting preservation: My sig (Page 1 of 1)

I was trying out some new things, (new for me anyways) and I made this from a screenshot of my character in Everquest.

Lost my reply, so this's gonna be a short one:
The good: colorscheme works. It's got transparency, it's not a rectangular banner
The bad: It's quite a bit too big. Signatures are often made with own material, not with screenshots.
The page with pointers for sigs: http://faq.ozoneasylum.com/FaqWiki/shownode.php?id=934&sortby=rating
Welcome ML, hope you'll enjoy your stay here.

Well here's something I made from absolutely 100% my own material:

And here's the rest of my sigs on a site:

<a href="http://members.lycos.co.uk/masterlink/">sig gallery</a>

mind you some of them are old.



EDIT
I just read through the sig rules, and wow that's a pretty small width, I dont think I even have anything that small. Erm....but I'll edit it down or make a new one to fit the standards.

I personally like to have room to stretch out on a sig, put a bunch of pictures y'know? Give me a big canvas. Oh well.

Those arn't rules, but guidelines. The idea is that the text is suppose to be the body of your post, not a signature. In general, I don't think a sig should ever be bigger than the text in your post, and if your post is only 1 or 2 lines, don't include the signature. I actually like the second image you posted, but I'd hate to see it more than once on a page, it really takes up a lot of room, for no other reason than to identify the poster.

I made a new much smaller sig, though I think the colours clash with the board....

Erm....the transparencies didnt work...

I dont much care for this one either, something to be said about sigs being too small.

Older sig until I can be creative and think of something new.

I'll get a cool sig for these boards, I swear it!

Ok...IMHO, these sigs...well...they aren't sigs. And for the most part, aside from some good qualities, they suck. (The ones that you made from scratch, or that I think that you made from scratch (your art) aren't sucky, though). (Mostly there sucky because they looks like unorganized banners)

I'm not a great PS Guru, or a great artist (although I strive to be), but that CG art you have on the bottom of the page looks pretty damn good. Try making a sig out of those, or, possibly, new art.

People here are big sticklers for good sigs, which is the reason that I don't use a graphical sig, but you've got some good starts.

Try using your own artwork/graphics and accomadating to the Asylums color scheme.

welcome to the asylum, hope the strait jacket fits.. for a change of pace, you can visit the basement

looking forward to your new asylum sigs!

heh, that's smaller....

^ Now that is definatly something that I wouldn't want to look at when I come to the Asylum

Now you've gone and made me spew coffee all over my keyboard.

Yep. They're smaller... Oh! you meant the sig.

Ah I will never get tired of the reaction to that sig.

:- Yikes :-

What does it say anyway?

^ Do we really want to know?

Strangely enough, it says "The Happa Group" (or "team" or whatever). It's strange because you would think it would say "The Yatta Group," wouldn't you?

that sig is truly wonderful...

And I'll bet you find gay porn to be heavenly, no?

Yes. I too would like to say. . .WTF?

I was reffering to bastards comment.

Umm...yup. That seems pretty clear.

But uh....

???

He said that he found a sig consisting of 9/10'ths naked middle aged men to be "wonderfull."

So, how would he react to a sig consisting of 9 to 10 naked middle aged men?

uh.....what?!?


"He said that he found a sig consisting of 9/10'ths naked middle aged men to be "wonderfull."

That doesn't make a bit of sense, first of all.

2nd of all, just because the shock value of naked men in a sig is something he finds enjoyable, doesn't say anything about sexual preference.

3rd of all, so what if he *does* find gay porn heavenly? It is, of course, a very real possibility.

...

I'm really sorry. It didn't make sense really. But it did make sense in my head.

I was being an ass, and I apoligize.
