@ Everyone: Thank you. <3
@ Master Link: Ack, figures I would of landed at the bottom of the page. maybe that's for the better, those are pretty big graphics I posted.
I use Photoshop elements, and I also use Adobe Illustrator/ and Open Canvas for certain things that are harder to do in Elements. (Oc usually only for very fine lineart, and when I"m in the mood.. shading.)
Blinking and stuff is pretty easy to do. First just resize your render to your desired signature size.
Keep in mind that each layer will stand on it's own once you save it. Meaning, if you have text in it, and it's on another layer.. it will first show the graphic, then the text. So merge it all onto one, then copy paste it a bunch of times.
Then, edit the eyes to a shut position, then go to file > save for web and save it as an animated GIF. Make sure that "loop" is checked, and there you go! Blinking.
@DK- I can kind of see the shadow on this background, but it's hard I'll admit. I really like the colors you used for that sig, it's really pretty. Congrats on another SoTW win!
and I agree that this isn't exactly the ideal place to put Non-signature art, but this really is the most suitable place for now. I luv your art, and it's awesome that you can look at pretty much any of your pieces and tell that it was YOU who made them. Keep up the good work!
I need to put up some non-siggie art here if that's where it's suppose to go.. but maybe after finals. >.>; ::passes out::
@ Guardian: That's an adorable signature... I wanna pet the kitty. ; ^; Only suggestion is to move the font to the upper-left. Not only will it not be all covered up, but it will compliment the movement that the glowing lines create!
