Topic awaiting preservation: **September Sig Contest Chatter** (Page 1 of 2)

I figured since this month's contest subject is now posted, that could be started as well. Obviously, in the hopes that it'll keep the bullshit outta the other thread.

If there's something in this month's contest thread that you have the urge to comment on, please have a little control and post it in here!

great topic... hehehe... Weee! *gets to work*

Well, let's see how this looks...

Looks great jung, but arnt ya supposed to post in the contest thread ?

Yeah, but I am not sure I was through with it and wanted some constructive criticism before I officially entered it...

Isn't that what this thread is about? I could be wrong, what the hell do I know. I still don't have a cell with direct sunlight, it get dark early here!

THAT^^ is very cool, Jung. Good Job.

I liked it.
Nice conceptually done. Oh yeah, how much is Photoshop there in Phil.?

How much is photoshop here in the Philippines?

Hmmm, tricky question.

But you can get a CD with just about every thing Adobe has ever made all on one CD for 100 pesos or so. That's about 2 US dollars. Trouble is it is a priated version and you will get no support or anything. I bought a regular version when I was back in the states and paid full price. That being said, I'm not a complete angel and do use some of the other software that I have bought on the Philippine economy...

oh very nice jung! and yes, this is the place to discuss/get C&C for any entries, so you're in the right spot

Jung; it looks very nifty, but I have two technical quibbles:

1) it seems you've used black as a matte color instead of the average of the forum's background colors; #4B0404
2) in the second-to last frame (I think it's that one) there's a 'blip' from a previous frame. You might want to fix that.

oh, i didn't think/know about the "average" forum color. usually when i make a sig i always make one on each color. not that that's a huge big deal or something, but it'd still be nice to only hafta do it once. i'm sure that lil tip was somewhere in the FAQ and i just overlooked it.
thanks for that!

^^You made one of each colour ? So what your saying is, you had to see what colour your post would land on and then post the appropriate sig ? Damn that sounds like too much work.

Actually... no. She just doesn't use sigs. She just makes them.

heheh GD is right. i just haven't been creative enough to come up with a sig that i could stand using all the time so i'm sigless
but... i'm also a layer freak...so, my first 2 layers are the 2 asylum colors. then i just save it twice and shut off the corresponding layer. and both are named the same...i just use "lt" or "dk" at the end of the file name to know which is which. it's really not rocket science (other wise i'd really fuck it up) but it's more of a pain than my lazy butt wants to put up with heheh
now though...i'll only be doing it once

*shapening the knife* hmmmmm....i was so impressed that for the first 5 days of the sig contest there were only sigs in the thread. i was so proud of yall... but now *sigh* there's more bullshit than sigs.
So, if those of you that posted comments over in there without a sig to enter could please line up in an orderly fashion, i'll be lopping off one finger from each of you! i haven't decided yet if i'm going to string them all together and wear them as a necklace or place them in a jar with pickling brine.

That is just too disturbing, something about seeing the name, Snookumz, on a finger just isn't right.

I've learned my lesson though, don't post at 6am after 4 hours sleep.

lacuna - shrink it down and string them together with a chain or ribbon with your name attached and you've got a sig
*wanders off giggling*

[edit-fix typo]

Ram: You forgot to close off the function in your sig...

*sigh of relief* Thanks for letting me keep'em, Lacuna!

Okay, I'm not a mathematician, so what exactly does RN3's sig mean anyways?

{x²±ªy¹×yº­1

Ok, I need papers to right all this down to memorize. ^-^
@_@

raptor...you nearly didn't get to keep yours... but i had a rethink

and yes velvet rose....i'm thinkin when i have more time i'll do just that. i'm sure i can get quite a collection going hehe

and for those of you who did lose a finger, there will be no wheelin' and dealin' to get it back (skaarjj) it's now MINE! it was only an index finger...i'm sure you can live without it and with enough practice your typing speed will be up to par in no time

Well my typing is somewhat, handicapped but i'll manage hopefully...

/sniff :-(

lacuna: would i get my finger back if i enter with a sig? i am sure master suho will find a way to get my finger back on my hand

mas: *sigh* you'd think you'd have learned your lesson the first time. should you run out of fingers for me to chop off...i WILL take other appendages!

three more fingers for my collection.

Lacuna: And what happens to the repeat offenders who can't help flapping their gums?

FAQs: Emperor

Ooh, Lacuna's working up quite a collection there. You can add MindBender to the mix, too

Emperor: I think we'll need to start chopping off some more *precious* parts

Oo... can mine be a toe?

(I didn't see this thread when I posted. At least I forgot to remove my normal sig, I'd hate to @%#$@#$ up and not do it right! )


It's only after we've lost everything...
That we're free to do anything...

woops. Commenting the sigs in another thread is less convenient but that's the rules ... I understand their purpose ( and would like to keep my 9 fingers left ) so I'll stick to them from now on.

Mea culpa.

Mathieu "POÏ" HENRI

poi: it's not actually a rule (yet). it's just extreamly annoying to pop in to look at the sigs and there's 57 posts of "hey man, that's cooool! how'd ya do that?" and only 6 sigs.
by the way....love your sig

mindbender: i don't have time right now...but will be collecting your finger later! and no, i will not take your toe instead. toes are gross!

emps: ozphactor is right... more precious parts will be taken



[This message has been edited by Lacuna (edited 09-22-2003).]

MindBender: "Hey man, that's coool, how'd ya do that?" Very nice.

poi: The transparency in your x-ray sig isn't working, or did you mean for it to be like that?

Well, I'm going off a guess, but it looks like a variation on mahjqa's fire/clouds technique.

But with a polar coords thrown in, to get the outward expansion effect.

Lacuna: Thank you.

ozphactor: The black background is to make the sig. look like a real radiography ( understand one the doc. can handle ).
Black is quite close to #240000 ( the dark background color of the Asylum ), which certainly explains why you missed the slight rotation and the tiny hole in the bottom right corner. Anyway, CTRL+A will reveal these details.

Since I used a black background, I've set the matte color to #240000 thus, it shouldn't look too bad on the lighter background color of the Asylum.



Mathieu "POÏ" HENRI

A second post to see my submission with the lighter background and in real conditions.


Mathieu "POÏ" HENRI

Thanks It's a variant on this:
