Sig request from the pros

Well my photo shop skills are marginal at best and I was wondering if someone would like to make me one. I have plenty of pics on my two sites listed in my sig. I would like it to only contain my 3rd gen and be the smaller type that is popular on TGO. Nothing huge. I will put the persons name under it so that they can be credited when ever any one looks at it. Thanks guys!!! I have more pics that are not on my sites if anyone needs them.

I'll toss something together in a few hours.. no need for credits, btw.. I genrally do this because it's enjoyable and a good way to test my abilities.. Fruity's probably the same.

As for the "something huge" .... now that you mention it, I'd like to point out to those who have been creating out-of-spec sig pics, there is a rule governing sigpic size. 400x100 @ 30kb max. Generally, most moderators will not follow the precise letter of the law on this, however, I feel that if someone is going to stretch the rules on their sigpic, they should do so themselves, not have someone else create an out-of-spec sigpic for them.

Shifty, two popular sizes, 400x100 and 400x75. Mine's 400x100, FruityOne does 400x75 ... could ya specify?

I haven't had to enforce the HUGE sig rule yet. I like your size a lot. If it has to go 400x75 that is fine as well. Whatever sutes your fancy. I really appreciate it. I like the sigs with just a pic and a ghost image in the back. I really don't care for words or thretening sayings. Model type is ok. Thanks man!

By the way I am in no hurry.

Fruity's 400x75 ones actually look damn slick.. but it's his preference on it. He's got a format he works with, they used to be 500x100, but to conform to the rules, he had to drop it, and went with 400x75 to maintain a close aspect ratio.

I don't think any of us can really beat his work.. I feel mine definitely can't, but it's getting a little closer

Let me double check his and see. I can't really recall a big size difference between the two off hand.

Well I checked his out and I have to say that I like the smaller 500x75 better. It it sleek and to the point.

Already finished up a 400x100. Lemme know what you think, feel free to request changes (most are simple).. I'll remix it to 400x75 in the meantime to let you see how it'd look both ways.

Ah man that looks great. If it doesn't take much time I would love to see others. That is awesome. Thanks millions :hail: :hail:

Edit: You pretty much hit it on the head with my 2 favorite pics. Can you make the c in upper case in Capone?

400x75.

Btw, I reccomend strongly against hosting these on cardomain.. they screw with the image size and quality to an obscene degree.

Really. I just did, ha go figure. What does it look like on your screen. It just seems a bit small to me. But I like it a lot.

EDIT: That cardomain plug just now appeared. When I first tested it on TGO it was not there. Ok, time to find another free web host. Uhg.

That looks sweeeeeet. Use readers rides to host the picture. No car-domain stamp if you do that.

Or I can host it if you can't find one. I'm limited on webspace though.

Nice color choices. Yeah, I stick with 400x75 because i used to do them in 500x100. So 400x75 is the same aspect as before, just on a smaller scale.

I used to do sigs that had a 600x300 limit at another site. Thankfully they changed that rule so its now 600x100.

Yeah.. the readers rides thing is.. well.. it's definitely the easy way out, and I've never seen any rule that says you can't (and mine's hosted there because I host from home, and my SDSL is going bye-bye in a few days probably )

I've got 25megs worth of webspace, and nearly 5megs of it it right now is dedicated to hosting signatures for other people.

5megs is a lot of 400x75 signatures!

In fact I'll probably start taking them down soon. The oldest ones anyways.

Unfortunately, no. The font doesn't recognize case (I tried before I even noticed you asked)... I can try some different fonts if you'd like.

Or I could rasterize the font layer and try to manually capitalize it.. we'll see how that goes.

That is perfect!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to do that. It is awesome. I just need to get some new web space to avoid any site plugs. :hail: :hail: :hail:
