FirevsIce's GIMP Graphics

[Sage]

I'm assuming you wanted this as an avatar, so I lowered the quality a bit to use it, but if you just wanted it in general I have another version with better quality.

Thanks! It's awesome. Again, thanks. That was quick! :clap:

@Durion
I would suggest checking out this thread for some tutorial sites and some made by our own ZD forumers.

Yes! You recommended my thread! Oh and... GIMP tutorials has always given me troubles. I'll try to see that tut later. Thanks for the link though.

Hey, do you think you could crop the guy out of this picture and put him in a 100x100 avatar box with a cool red and black backround?

Sure. I'll get right on it. Expect it sometime tonight.

 

[Lord Death]

Wow, you're quick on the job. Thanks!

 

[Firice da Vinci]

Here you go Greed. I couldn't think of too many things to put in the limited background, so if you want anything changed let me know.

Some pretty good stuff you've got here. I've seen that Timeshift tutorial before, but never tried it myself.. Your results are really nice.

And if you don't mind my asking, how did you do the text in this signature?

 

[Lord Death]

No, it looks fine the way you did it. Thanks, you're quick!

Actually, I like the way you did it, but could you maybe use what you can of the original picture backround, still write "Greed," but try to make it a little lighter?

First make the text layer and go to Layer> Duplicate layer. Then you select the original text layer and go to Filters> Blur> Gaussian Blur. Now your text should have a "glow" to it.

Decided to make some more signatures, so I searched "advanced gimp signature tutorial" and picked out my favorite three.

Made with this tutorial. I wanted to give Meta Knight a second chance it turned out a lot different than I expected, but I still love the sig.

Made with this tutorial. The dragon was really a last minute thing. The black and white seemed different, but the result is awesome.

Made with this tutorial. I felt noobish for not having a pokemon signature made yet, so I went with Jirachi. The result turned out too bright with it though. I might do the tut again with a different render.

Your graphics are coming along nicely. What I would do if I were you would be to lower the size that you use. Some of your signatures are just a little too big for effects you are trying to use. I am becoming a fan of around 380x120 for signatures. Not too big, but big enough for what needs to be put in it.

Looking pretty nice!! I should look into getting GIMP someday, but I have to ask my parents before downloading anything and I'm too lazy to do that...

 

[Master Sword13]

Wow, FirevsIce, these are inanely good. I want to get into GIMP myself but I can't do it on any computer, so I'm all sad. Anyway, these are really cool and I also wanted to say thanks again for my awesome Sig. I love it!

 

[Firice da Vinci]

Thanks for the comments everyone. I'll experiment with the region sizes, but for now I thought I'd make my own planet.

Okay, so I followed the smaller resolution advice and got:

Instead of 400x150 I used 400x120.
