Just wanting to give you all the heads up... times have been rough lately for me. Recently my bank account has been declining due to me overspending... or so I thought... I have just been the latest in a group of victims of identity theft, having my entire bank account wiped out... every penny, and my credit card maxed out... $4000 limit. Not to mention numerous online purchases as well, meaning that I am on the verge of becoming a unfortunate 22 year old who may have to wind up filing bankruptcy... losing my car... destroying my near perfect credit score I worked so hard on, needing to give up my 2 adorable Ferrets because I won't be able to keep up with them, among other things. No timetable on when I will be able to return because God knows how long I will continue to have internet... grrr... Sucks to be me.... $9000+ left on my car, $4000 on Credit Card, $900 left on Pomeranian I purchased for my Mother during Christmas, 1 1/2 years left on a 2 year phone plan, etc... So I guess I will see you guys when I see you... it's been fun times for me here. - LeGioN
When bored I like to take peoples sigs and tweak them around a bit. :D First up - ZetoCloud Before After
I found this to be funny when I found it around 4 months ago... still funny today. This is why you don't drink and drive... you will only end up looking like a complete idiot. http://youtube.com/watch?v=m2g6dbzrgyA
No way can I be the only person here who enjoys this truly talented group. Not only is Singer/Song Writer "Ville Valo" a lyrical genius, but the group as a whole somehow puts everything together so perfect. Favorite Songs - "Sacrament" "Funeral of Hearts" "Poison Girl"

REMEMBER DO NOT POST IN THIS THREAD UNLESS YOU GOT A TUTORIAL! This I promise you is gonna be the easiest photoshop tutorial ever!! If you have Photoshop, Image ready, or any other type of layer picture maker you can do this... All it will require is : A pack that will be attached to this post which contains: - 2 Main Pics - 1 BG Pic - The final product - other really easy sigs I made An open mind to learn and 20 min!! only 20 min!! Lets start!! For starters you will be making this : I know this is not the best sig ever made, but it was quick, easy, and looks good. Also remember, this tutorial is not for making this sig, but for learning new techniuqes, and learning from others... To start out, you need to make a Canvas for the sig... I made mine 600 x 150. you can make yours any size you want but I wouldnt go smaller than 300x100. This biggest width this forum can handel without a scroll bar on the bottom appearing (or the pic not fitting in the window) is 750 (that is the closest rounded #), width can be anything, but I recceommend nothing more than 250 if you dont want a mod getting it out of your sig... :( Next you want a nice background... Do you see all the nice cut lines, and designs in my bg? i did some google image search the other day and came out with this : Now this had some color, but I desaturated it (or made it black annd wite) and it turned out great, now this is bigger than most sigs will be, but you can pretty much take any slice of this pic, and use it as a bg for your sig... So first find a peice of it and cut it out... Like so: I picked this peice for several reasons, you dont want too much white, or too much black, or it will turn out funny later in the procces... I felt this had a 50/50 of black to white... next you want to give your BG color... i found an easy way to do this, i make a square the size of my sig a certain color i like, in this case a light blue... I made this as my first layer... I then put the BG as my second layer with a 75% opacity... Finally to make the perfect shade of blue I copied the BG color layer (the blue) and made a duplicate layer or that exact same shade and put it as the 3rd layer, on top of everything... To keep the BG visable, i lowered the top layer of blue all the way down to 20% opacity... Now that may seem not that much of a change, but remember, you can toggle with the % depending if you want a stornger or weaker blue color... Now it is time to work with the real images... A nice place to find images for your sig is on google images, my theme was halo, so i googled "Halo" and I came up with the 2 pics you see in my sig... They both had fancy background that I had to get rid of, so it wouldnt interfere with my sig, but when I was done they turned out great... Now if you notice, on my first pic not everything from the BG was taken out. THAT IS OK!! Only worry about erasing the stuff around the place you are working with, erasing by hand can be tedius, and time consuming, but as for the first pic, I was only using the face, so i only erased the face... I placed those 2 images in convenent places, the 2 ends... and i had this : looks nice dosent it? now if you notice, just for an extra effect (not needed) I added a shadow... this is really easy to do... Make a new blank transparent layer, and place it under our 2 pics, but over everything elese... Then get a BLACK paint brush, and "outline" the pics on the transparent layer... When you outline you should have th paint brush circle, half way into the pic so that half looks as if it were drwing on the pic, and the other half, drawing on the transparent. Dont worry abput drawing on the pic, because you are doing this on a layer underneath the pics, only the "shadow" will show. now black it not a great shadow, and since all shadows are transparent, you lower the opacity to 35... Now you have this big ol space to do with as you choose... You can put a Halo logo, your name, somthin funny, or somthin meaning ful... I put my name. Find a cool font, a reasonable font size, and a good color... and there you go, you got your easy, but good looking sig!! wasn't that easy?
Yep, I am here... I am back!!! Ok enough... I am Mr. BuBBLeS, formerly LeGioN. Anyone who was here before the move may know me... some may not. Not much is to be known except that I enjoy playing Bubble Bobble in my spare time.
