Hows this Darth Sion?

 

I tried making one by resizing his whole body, but he came out too small to really see.

 

EDIT:

I made another one. Hows this one?

[Jeff]

Here ya go:

 

 

EDIT: @ Lion, how did you get that text effect?

[Bob Lion54]

Well, the red glow is just "alien glow" under script-fu.

 

I bump mapped the text and added a drop shadow.

 

Finally, I used the "change perspective" tool to make it look slanted.

 

My idea was to make it look like it was emerging from a red cloud and pulling some with it. I don't know how well it came off, but I still think it looks kinda cool. hehe

[Jeff]

I love it when people don't use the sigs I make them. Don't you Lion?

[Bob Lion54]

I donno, maybe he didn't like them?

 

Oh well.

[Samurai DD]

Great, just the thread I was looking for.

 

Can someone make me a set of sig banners (one for each character with his name in glow) with these images, the gif being like a little box in banner, and with the SW logo, please? I know it's a lot, lol.

Thanks a lot.

[Bob Lion54]

The logo link dosn't work.

 

Other that that, I think I could give it a shot. Adding the gif shouldnt be too difficult.

[Samurai DD]

Strange, it works for me. ???

 

It would be awesome. Thanx.

[Bob Lion54]

I got it to work in IE. Strange, the link would not work in firefox. Oh well.

 

I'll see what I can do.

[RC-1162]

[Archon II]

[RC-1162]

thanks archon, but i would like something from the game, like a geonosian terrain background or something. thanx again for taking the trouble to find it.

[RC-1162]

on second thought, dont waste your time, i found a suitable pis. sorry.

[Bob Lion54]

Hwy Samurai DD,

I'm done with Obi-Wan. What do you think?

 

If you would like any changes let me know. I was planing on using the same format for the other two, with Christopher Lee's being red. I was also thinking of putting him on the right side of the pic.

 

Anyway, let me know what you think!

[Jeff]

Could somebody give me a good idea for a background to add to this vader pic:

 

 

I was looking to make some kind of (possibly animated) background, but ideas have all run away from me.

[RC-1162]

maybe a space back ground with the death star in the top right corner? i dunno, that sounds good.

[Samurai DD]

I love it!!! ^^

 

Wow, great!!! It's almost perfect! I'd just like Obi's picture to have a little blue margin like the gif, that would be great. And leave Ani and Obi on the left, while Dooku would be great on the right with a red bg.

[Bob Lion54]

Alright! I'm glad you like it!

 

Now for all three!

 

 

 

 

How do you like them?

[Samurai DD]

OMG!!! They are simply perfect!!! Thanx a lot man!!!

[Bob Lion54]

Cool. Glad you like them.

 

Always happy to fill a request when Darth Moeller dosn't beat me to it. hehe

 

As a side note, getting the gifs in was alot easier than I thought. Once I had the first one done, the second two took about 5 min each.

[Jeff]

Always happy to fill a request when Darth Moeller dosn't beat me to it. hehe

I'll beat you next time... XP

[Samurai DD]

Just for curiosity, with what program do you make them? I am curious about this, because I tried making some, but didnt get them right... I am not artistically challenged, I paint and draw digitally and in "real life", I even make Flash anis, but somehow, I cannot make cool sig banners and animated av's. :/ I suppose you use PhotoShop...

 

BTW:

Could somebody give me a good idea for a background to add to this vader pic:

 

How about moving dark clouds in a red sky? Like this: http://www.stickslaughter.com (On top of page.)

 

BTW2: Bob, it's strange the logo link didn't work in FF for you, I use FF and it works fine. ???

[Bob Lion54]

I use gimp. Its a free program simular to photoshop.

 

I really just got into this a few months ago. If I have an idea or request that I don't know how to accomplish, I just google for a tutorial. Check the photo album to seem my first attempt at making a lightsabre. hehe (its pretty crappy)

 

Also, I just play around with it. My "Bob Lion54" in my sig is a result of playing around with text. I liked it, so I tacked it on to my sig.hehe

 

I don't know why it didn't work with FF. Oh, well. It worked out in the end. hehe

[Jeff]

A good site for p-shop tuts it http://www.tutorialoutpost.com. I go there for most of my photoshop needs.

[Samurai DD]

Kewl. I'm downloading it now. If it's interface is similar to PS, I'll master it in no time! lol I think I am going to add "SDD" to my banners, and after getting the hang of it real good, I'll make sig banners for other ppl too, lol.
