Red, yes definitely. Is that hand drawn?

It's rouge for sure!

As for your question, no, that isn't hand drawn. (I would have to have TALENT for that to be true.) It's from ep.33 where Jer is tied up on the floor and is calling Kiwi to go for help. It's just a toy ball in the original. The only thing that's hand drawn is the little smile at the end. (Well, I also had to re-create part of the ornament, which was cropped off where I stole it from.)

And, say, Kag-kun! Very cool, your Santa-hats avatar addition! Geez, do we have spirit!

Everyone's getting in the Christmas spirit! Nice!

Based on the ides tha kagetsu likes Yumi and Sissi, he should like this! Sissi dressed as Yumi!

[kagetsu]

I loved that scene, the whole Sissi as Yumi thing made that episode.

But it's still Sissi on the inside when she belts the kid for calling her Eliiiizaabeth.

(I was thinking mistletoe but it just didn't work well, though there are Kisses to pick from )

Kags: Your new "Yumi" sig is tops! You're really a master of those "misty" effects you use....

CS, can you get me a pic from when baby Aelita was opening her present on Christmas?

Would you believe they(misty=transparency fill) are the easy part? The text is what I have to do over and over and over again using three different programs. But I really love the effect of her Lyoko Warrior personality laying beneath her normal self. Like first impressions are not all that she is/

Chloe's is cute, I especially like Yumi with the messy hair. I'll have to look for that one

I want to make a little signature banner thing, but I don't have any ideas on what I want to put in it. Can someone help me out?

[kagetsu]

Sure, I love talking about images. The whole run down for me is generally start with a rectangle 667 pixels wide by 200 high. this is easy to work with and can be resized to my favorite 500x150 or 417x125. You don't want to go much below 400p wide, but the height can vary for what you like and the images you want to fit.

Select a character and find a set of images that will work. The larger the image, the better it will look.

Then I try to think of phrases that fit that characters,,, character.
Some times an image just jumps at me and screams "this would make a kewl sig"

Then a background that I can blend with. I have an advantage here because I've saved several images for backgrounds when I was making skins.

Then it comes down to what can I do and what do I want to try.

Start with this, change what you think might be good, and then we'll go from there

To me, a perfect sig says , user name, and expresses a feeling. I don't always attain that.

This may give you ideas. It'ts stuff I began with and really should update with my better sigs.

I 've been thinking of a Jeremie sig but can't find what I need to make it work.

"Jeremie" in computer looking square text, then images of Jeremie at the computer, and images of Aelita in danger, with text as Aelita in danger, expressing "someone to watch over me as I walk into danger". Giving a feeling that Jeremie is always there protecting her.

[garooob]

Let me see if I have any pictures.

Here are some!

[kagetsu]

hmm, this is a beginning.Since I think of Jeremie in relation to you, not sure why, I've started dark digital with a green tinge. I'm thinking fat green text for Garooob across the bottom left, I'm still looking for fat text, and I'm thinking a larger Jeremie facing forward and an Aelita on the other side. They are giving me some trouble at the moment so I'll see if you hate this idea and want to go bright red instead and maybe have other things to add. A Code Lyoko could go somewhere. XANAeyes don't seem to work well. It's still big, so it will need to be smaller not to stretch the board.
Maybe a SouthPark theme?

[garooob]

I'm sorry, kagetsu. I didn't realize you were making a banner for me. I feel bad that I didn't pay more attention. You have been working hard to create something cool and I didn't give it the proper respect. I hope you can accept my apology. I'd be glad to use the banner you created.
I think what you have so far is good. Green is one of my favorite colors (my car is green). You're right, it may be a little large for the board. Maybe one of these pictures would be good for the right side:

[kagetsu]

No need to apologize, though I did think I'd missed the mark completely

It's still at the 667x200 for image working, with big images it works best. My standard is to shrink finished ones to 417x125 (my usual) or a larger 500x150, I never go over 500 or it stretches the post.

That "ignored" rant was I'd been crawling around graphx forums the past few weeks, and can't get anyone to explain anything, and there was a girl at UMSD that started asking about making avy's and sigs and I started to try to talk to her and giv the info I'd already come up with,,, I was lucky to get "I use Photoshop" as a reply. Clearly I'm just not part of the clik, I need to get back to that other site and take down my sig and avy, usually I replace them with black squares, but if I can ever find Yumi looking sad wtih her face turned away, Ive got some cool ideas for "I'm lonely" sigs and avy's You wouldn't belive how hard it is to find sad animation images.

**this space reserved for kagetsu's banner**

That's cute but if you do like the other better, it would be easy to add a name to it, it could take me weeks to get this one to where I'm happy with it, I really only have time on the weekends

Here're some Yumi pictures, though a few may need a little creative editing.
If it'll be weeks, then I'll put that other one up until then. I only made that one because I couldn't think of anything better to make.

[kagetsu]

I still wanted to get Aelita for you,,, maybe another if you like, but Jeremie turned out well. I needed him facing forward since the othe is from behind and everything else I added made clutter. I can still adjust things if like the neaon is too much,,, I was playing



Sad Yumi looks good too, but I need to find a sad phrase.

[garooob]

Dude, kagetsu, that's awesome! As you can see, it's already in use! I like it.
As for graphicking, you can probably find some tutorials on the internet. That's where I've gotten my instructions, but I haven't looked for much.
Good luck upgrading your computer, kagetsu. WinME was horrible. I would gladly have gone back to Windows 95...

[kagetsu]

I am happy you like it, Sigs are such personal things. Jeremie goes so well with your "Helpful Guiding" board personality.

I am just starting to get ideas of upgrading,,, I may want a whole new system when I do. I'm still on pentiem 3

I've tweaked this and found some intresting stuff to try for Yumi. I won't be able to use this as a sig except when I feel awful. A few people have figured me out enough to start asking questions when things like this show up. Course my post sometimes get darker sounding too, when they haven't disapeared altogether.

[garooob]

That Yumi signature is pretty neat, but I hope you don't have much chance to use it... No offence, of course.

[kagetsu]

Ooo, a new avatar but pouty Aelita is gone, hmm trade offs. Vertical text is hard too.

I've never found an Aelita on the screen that I could use, that looks cool,,,, wait a sec??? I spelled your screen name wrong didn't I???


I have the same problem, I can't for the lifeofme get the K capitalized. Most likely need an admin to do it,,, (side note, did you know your "member using" name is orange?)
(That darkYumi is likely only to be used at one place,,, some people I like very much, but feel like an outsider. though I was recently quite shocked as I added a second person to the "actually notices me" list)

[garooob]

I made this new avatar to kinda match the signature. It's just a crop and resize job with some text.
Nah, you didn't spell my name wrong. The capitalization doesn't really matter, but these are the official approved capitalizations: garooob Garooob GARooob
I'll use the first one with Garooob on it. In the avatar, I figured I'd use the 3 capital letters since I was going to angle it in the corner like that.
Your K is supposed to be caps? I thought it was supposed to be all lower case. Mine's lower case on purpose. Yeah, I know my name's orange; it's because I'm an administrator. On that note, I should figure out how to do administrator things. Maybe I can fix your K if possible.

[garooob]

I'm hijacking this thread to be about all kinds of graphics! Let me start with some things I made and want to share with you!

it's really beautiful !!
I love the signature kagetsu and garooob, your creations are really great

[garooob]

Thanks, Clem! Sometimes I'm able to make something good.
