Yeah, it's gotta be about the actual design. Sometimes something goes through dozens of revisions to make it perfect and convey it's message wonderfully and the final result can be replicated within...

The arts section has been so dead lately, so it's awesome to see someone making signatures. That baghead design manip is also cool.

Naw, don't look back, it's to late now.

This is a forum for flash games anyways, what do you expect?

Looking through my old posts made me feel a little ill.

I mostly waste away my time on the internet. Tumblr, reddit, etc.

Of course, not signature's so much anymore, but all kinds of mixed up stuff. I'm pretty sure it was you that got me started in gimp some three years ago.


My holiday started like two weeks ago ;D...

Hello, there's almost no one I know here anymore so I never really post anymore.
But still, everything is just peachy.

I haven't played in a bit, but I'll try and have a marathon game next week. I ridiculously decided to name myself Orphandric, so you might see me under that name.

I've been playing for more than year. I highly recommend it, even though it can be really depressing at times.

Hello, and welcome to the forum.
Anyways, GIMP is free. I suppose most people think of Photoshop as free, but that is only when you are acquiring it in a rather not exactly completely legal...

Do you have a deviantART?

It's been raining and hailing here (in southern California) for the last few days.
I guess I like it, but only because having the same warm weather gets really boring. Some people get really...

Very nice, i really like the idea of the circle, very nice and compact design. There is just two things with the text, some of it is really hard to read because of the color. Maybe a shadow would...

I spent all day on this, so I hope you like it:

It isn't actually a tutorial, but rather a guide through basic composition and gfx jargon.
I changed some colors...

If you wanted it to look more realistic you could play around with bump mapping the effects and text on the brick layer.

Smudging is something that can be done in hundreds of different ways, so any tips are to get one particular type of smudge. There are tons of tutorials and you can find a style you like and try to...

It would be great to see some tutorials on web design.
Also, I'm thinking of dissecting the composition of one or two of my signatures if I have time this weekend.

That's pretty good, a lot like how I start out with my signatures before I add any blending, though I don't usually center my renders (I use the rule of thirds), and it's rather monotone. One...

I didn't use bauhaus.

I know you didn't, but it appears to be a very similar variation on it.

You should probably download a free fonts from dafont or pirate an expensive one. Bauhaus is a very distinct font. But then again, now that I actually compare it, how come the "e" is tilted?

Is anyone else tired of having so many useless smileys?
Why not simplify everything by breaking everything down to five or ten simple emotions (happy, sad, amused, angry, indifferent, etc) in one...

That looks like a really cool program! I haven't actually done much digital painting, but I'm trying to learn as much as I can about digital painting and traditional drawing so once I get a tablet, I...

The effect is almost identical to that created by the sparks brush in GIMP, though colored.

If you can't afford a tablet, you can make smooth, non-jagged lines with paths in gimp.

Yes, it would. I tried to use the same style that is used when creating a vector image even though it is made with pixels (hence the word "vexel").
I'm a bit scared of trying to learn how to use...
