Hey, just got your message. Sorry, it's been a long time since I've really done more than check how things were going. Finally after sending 10 screens back I've got a good one, so as long as my roommate didn't destroy the rest of my stuff while I've been at home, I should be posting more this week.

well, I got the new screen in the mail yesterday, so hopefully this one will work.

I could, but Rinku and Revan_Malak are much better at it than I am

I will think about it, it's just took a long time to set up. Can you tell me any of the issues you've been having?

I've been pretty busy as well, but i should have it in a few hours. The thing that will hold me up is the weapons b/c i don't have pics of them yet.

i did add them. I did notice you were on one time and i expected to see them, but when i saw no changes i thought it was weird. How long do you usually wait for things to upload?

do you have a full size image of your avatar pic? If you do, I'd like to add it to the website

I'm actually going to a university, and I'm not willing to disclose my location online, but it isn't in CA

I'll see what I can do, but I'm pretty pressed for time lately. I might be able to get to it on the weekend, it seems like all my homework is going to be due mainly on mondays and thursdays.

i'm kinda just watching from a distance. I'm pretty busy lately and haven't found a lot of time to do them. If you want me to do one personally, send me a message, otherwise it seems like everyone else can handle the requests for now

how is this

It should be the same, but i can't figure out how to approve comments

Hey, I don't mind if you post on the blog for it. Just don't spam it. It's a showcase for the commandos and i'd like to keep it there. Pick up a request if one comes, but don't ask for one and don't use it for chat, that's what the messaging is for.

i use the touch pad, i might've used a mouse once. it really just takes practice,... and a lot of undoing. I usually take it slow with a small brush size and undo it if i go too far

sorry, the squad one. other than being really bright (only say this b/c it doesn't really help to be bright in battle), the cowboy is good

It's pretty nice for early work. It could maybe use a little cleanup on the legs.

Me and M@RS use photoshop, Da_man uses GIMP and Lt Wolf uses Serif Photoplus. I'm not sure what everyone else is using, but there are links on my site for the free programs, and some tutorials as well http://sites.google.com/site/genliwarccp

it's nice

I actually made the avatar before i even realized I had a message. So it was no trouble at all

I always find symbols a little tricky. One way is to adjust the layer settings to "overlay" or "hard light" sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

Another method i use is the 2 layer version. The bottom layer is the symbol at say 40% opacity. The top is closer to 80% but wherever the armor switches plates, i use a size 3 eraser just down the line of the plating. giving the illusion it's all there but more or less pieced together over the armor.

And sometimes I combine both methods. I haven't found one way that works perfectly for everything. hope this helps

New sig for you that fits the limits. Just save the pic upload it to wherever you upload, and replace the img link

Hey, check it out. I've kept it going since you and THX stopped customizing commandos. http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=167373&page=27

I recently made a no gun model. I thought you might find it interesting
