New Avatar and Sig thread.

[Ninjaa]

Heh. I know... it sucks being the lone ninja. Usually there are enough that we can cause misery and mayhem to the whole board... I can't handle it all by myself! :cry:

[Quatro]

> This is a picture from the same artist, but its not Dragonball.

ok...sorry bout that...

[chaosblade]

Damn that looks JUST like trunks . freaky :D

and well ninja .. quatro's right , grey ninja isnt like you .. its a little ... n00bish ? :O

[Phoenix]

Ninja, your new name, sig and avatar :spy:, please bring back your old image.
BTW, I remember you using that avatar before.

[Razor Blade]

Quatro, I did use real blood ... hehehe

And Ninja I liked your old name better. And your old avatar too! It made you look mysterious. I dunno if I see that picture of edge I always think of Ninja and Gamecube and NGEMU. Come on please!!!

[Ninjaa]

Alright you bunch of whiners. It's changed back. :p I still miss my old Janus avatar though. I loved that character....

[chaosblade]

Wb Ninja :P

btw , i couldnt seem to find that font u attached (folkard)
i did a search on all ngemu forums and didnt find it .. would u be so kind as to post it again ?

[Ninjaa]

Uuuuhh.. I attached it a few pages back....

http://www.ngemu.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=25552&perpage=20&pagenumber=23#post368689

Here it is again though.

[Strider]

heh, everyone confused about trunks and janus, well, if you'd change your name why not change it to Janus or Edge? i liked the janus avatar, freaky little pre-magus

[Ninjaa]

You know what? I hadn't ever thought about that. I have always been some variant of a Ninja.... Ninja_Fregon, Grey Ninja, Dark Ninja, Grey Fox, Clyde Arrowny....

I think Janus would be a pretty kick-ass username. But people would probably be upset. ;)

[Strider]

My grandfather on my dad's side used to have the middle name Janus, cept since it was Polish it was Janusz (sz in polish is sh)

[Ninjaa]

Hmmm... there already is a Janus.

http://www.ngemu.com/forums/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=294

Come to think of it, I used to go by the name Zeal in an online game. ;)

[Strider]

make Janus in l33t ;)

[Esturk]

Good to see you as yourself Ninja!

[Phoenix]

:lol: Ninja do you know what fregon means, in spanish it means something like a very skilled person in something, the best of his kind sort of thing it sounds hilarious. I imagine you putting Ninja Chingon :lol: a synonym.
Welcome back the old Ninja image :)

[Ninjaa]

Heh. I looked it up once, and I did find out what it meant. ;)

I was a part of an elite clan in Age of Empires once. They were called Fregon, and I changed my name to match. When I signed up for the Zophar's Domain message board, I was totally lost for an idea of what my name should be, as the Ninja name was already taken, and I didn't have so many alternates back then. In the end I just decided to use Ninja_Fregon. ;)

But why do you find that so funny? Just curious.

[Quatro]

hey, good think you bring back your old name ninja! well regarding your avatar, you can always use Janus if you miss it a lot :)

the name is what mostly important so members here won't mistaken you for someone else ;)

[Shiori]

He can't use "Janus" as a username since it's already taken by a user with 70 posts.

[Carnage]

Esturk,I REALLY LOVE YOUR NEW AVATAR:love: Natalie...mmmm...
anyway,I'm gonna do someting related with the gremlins,I have a few pics of them so it shouldnt be a prob...and I'm actually in the middle of my exams(not that i care)so I should make it quick...

[jegHegy]

that was Janus in Ninja's avatar? o_O dammit, i really have to play through CT PSX..

Heh heh, thanks Carnage. Bring on the gremlins!

[_E_]

"Grey Ninja has replied to the thread subscribed..................etc"

damn it, I thought another ninja joined the gang, but it seems that our good 'ol ninja was trying to prove the theory of evolution by " mutating" his name :lol:... heh, I think ninja's avatar is just fine, I dont like your sig that much, but its just my own opinion.....:)

[Phoenix]

But why do you find that so funny? Just curious.

Reading it as spanish mother language reader I am, the sentence sounds funny because of the Fregon adjective, just as many jokes in english and the way you manage your language that sometimes I don't got it.
Is like if I'd try to explain the variants of the "chingar" verb, it's used in lot of situations and has a lot of meanings

[Ninjaa]

Ah, I see... A joke I wouldn't understand...

Originally posted by jegHegy

nyaa

Please don't. The game is positively painful to play on the PSX. I just took that picture from a scene in the Japanese version. (cause the US version sucks even more.)

[Esturk]

I agree. Play it on the Super NES.

[Strider]

if you set it to pc fps calculation you can actually get past the loading time problems... well, atleast its what ive been doing for a while

[Ninjaa]

NO! It still sucks. The sound is screwed (albeit not as much as Final Fantasy), and the movies have to be the worst conversion ever. Have you seen the Japanese version's movies? They are FLUID, and aren't jumpy.

PLAY it on SNES, but get the movies from the Japanese version. That's my advice.

[Quatro]

> He can't use "Janus" as a username since it's already taken by a user with 70 posts.

I mean he can use the avatar Janus he used when he switched to Grey Ninja...

[Ninjaa]

Woo Hoo! I finally got permission! ;) Edge will be back one day, but I am kind of sick of having him as my avatar for now. I just want to use my old favorite for a few days. Then I am going to make something entirely new.

PS: can someone post a picture of Trunks so I can compare? I have never actually watched a complete Dragonball Z episode :emb:

[Quatro]

try this link:

http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/9051/gallery.html

[Ninjaa]

Ummm.... you know what? I still have no idea who Trunks is? Is he the blue-haired one?

[Shiori]

Yeah, that's the guy.

I still have no idea how anyone could mistake him for Trunks though. Although both were Toriyama charas, they look significantly different.

[Ninjaa]

Hmmm... I don't really see much resemblance either.

[Quatro]

it must be the eyes and the hair that seems to make then look alike... I'll try to find a pic of trunk that pose like your avatar ninja so we could compare it...

[jegHegy]

the eyes are the same for every Toriyama character ^_^' btw, i've played through CT on the SNES (i' also started translating (http://www.animehq.hu/~jeghegy/cthun.php) the game to hungarian ^^)

nyaa

[Sera]

toriyama's work always have a spiky-hair main character on it.
where did the hell did he got that idea?
its not that bad during anime scenes but if it is used in real life its terrible.

[chaosblade]

Well, it looks like mirai trunks to be exact (mirai == child or small if im not mistakn) . try looking at dbz eps from 235-240 .. that when he is a kid .

[Chrono Archangel]

hehe Ninja'a avatar does look like trunks but i always thought it looked more like the guy in digimon. youknow the one with the worm digimon....i forgot his name...

[Ninjaa]

Alright, that's about enough of that. If I can't be Janus, I will be a Ninja! :D

[Shiori]

Was the reference to Digimon the last straw? ;)

[Ninjaa]

Yes indeed. I hate cheap Pokemon rip-offs. :D

[Phoenix]

Ninja, your new avatar is nice, it reminds me Ryu Hayabusa

[Ninjaa]

Heh. It is. Back in the day when he wasn't a sellout....

[Yeloazndevil]

well I found a Anime Avatar site http://www.db-unlimited.net/the1stdragon/

[Ninjaa]

hmmm... I guess he does look a little like Janus.... But Digimon was still the last straw. :D

[Strider]

that new one looks, a little odd to me, just the way he's running

[Ninjaa]

eh? Why's that? Is it the little pause while the GIF resets?

[Allnatural]

Originally posted by Ninja

It's not "resetting," there is a frame that's repeated. Here it is without the extra frame.:)

[Strider]

yeah. thats probably the problem

[Esturk]

Your new avatar looks way cool Ninja!:cool:

[Ninjaa]

Thanks Esturk.

Allnatural, thanks for the edit... I guess this quote is appropriate right now... I honestly hadn't noticed I had put an extra frame in there. :D

"**** with something enough, and you will screw it up."

[Quatro]

seems like your new avatar looks cool ninja... sorry for being ignorant but on what game you derived your avatar??? Ninja Guiden??? sorry, not familiar with it...

[Strider]

heh, thats better i guess ;)

[Kraiger Drago]

Tsk Tsk, just because he is Xbox exclusive (for now) and Bill Gates bought him A life-time supply of solid-gold Ninja Stars doesn't mean ol Ryu is a sellout.

Anyhoo, added my proud symbol of the Irken Armada. XAXAXAXAXAXAXAXA!

[_E_]

Ninja, nice avatar, but it looks pixilated a bit ( thats what you expect from 16 bit console graphics :p)

Kraiger,....looks good, althought i dont know whats it about.........

[Ninjaa]

Kingstar, the pixels give it character. ;) (And it's 8 bit, not 16. :D)

Quatro, it is indeed from Ninja Gaiden. The game was a 2D side-scroller back in the days of the NES. It kicked butt back in the day.

Kraiger, Ryu is a sellout damnit! I was actually *****ing about that on the Tecmo forums the other day. I wasn't the only one either. :D

[Strider]

16 bit actually wasnt that bad, just look what the later sonics did with it ;)

[Esturk]

Or look at Super Mario RPG, Star Ocean or Final Fantasy VI. There are so many awesome SNES and Genesis games.

[Sera]

nobody seems to notice my new avatar :(
Is it because i do look like kane??

[Cylinder]

Ye ol' Balrog & Gandolf. Feel free to use it.

[Sera]

what is that thing????

[Cylinder]

Tis the Balrog from Lord Of The Rings. Thou hath not seen it?

[Strider]

a balrogs a big demon in layman's terms

[Cylinder]

Made of fire and shadow, basicly.

i know that avatar, but i dont think that u were kane. the stars pretty much say who u r. IMO, that avatar is kinda freaky, but its still good :)

[chaosblade]

Yea, you make alucard look like a zombie .

and besides, im the kane look alike guy :P

[Strider]

i like how alucard looks in this picture ;)

[Kane]

That pic reminds me of Blade from SiN to be honest.

[chaosblade]

Blade Of SiN ? */me does the curious pose*

[Kane]

Blade is a character in the game SiN, They also did an Anime of it.

[chaosblade]

the game itself is called SiN ? i recall a game by that name .. was it an FPS ? maybe you have a picture of this Blade guy ?

[Kane]

It was an FPS yes. It was out about the same time as Half-Life, so it really couldn't compete and thus faded into obscurity. I prefer it over HL, but I lost my copy a year or so back....

[Ninjaa]

Since the time of the year that I dread has returned, I have made a new sig image. I really don't care if anyone likes it or not.

[chaosblade]

wow ninja , i like :D
who are those ppl in the sig ? :)

[Kellicros]

yeah, pretty cool changes. /me wondering who are those people in your sig too. :D

[chaosblade]

Ok. New Name , New sig, New avatar . i know ive been switching alot but ..

i have finnally found the char thats suits me well .. Magus ! (Chrono Trigger to whose wondering :D )

Chaoticlly evil , but on the good side . half-elf ( i always choose that in RPG games ^^ ) and a mage using shadow/dark magic ^^
and with a cool weapon too .

[Hanamichi]

Those are characters from Silent Hill2, and that woman is a creepy one. :eek:
ChaosScythe, who were you before your name change? And somehow I find three of that same faces in a post quite...disturbing. :rolleyes:

BTW, I need a new avatar/title/sig. Any ideas?

[chaosblade]

ChaosBlade -=> ChaosScythe .
you are welcome to find me a diffrent pic of magus for my avatar :)

never played silent hill 2 .. and id offer to base your sig/avatar on a char that best suits you :)

[Hanamichi]

Oh its you. :)
A char that best suits me... I can think of none. :heh:
Maybe Ill draw a face... anyone knows how can I make an image who's background color changes to the background color of the place I put the picture in?

[Cylinder]

Jumpin on the Splinter Cell (PC) bandwagon here.

[chaosblade]

Han, that means making the background transparant .

i do it by making a new image in photoshop and marking it as "transparnat background" :)

[Hanamichi]

Well I dont got photoshop. :heh:

[Strider]

post up the pic, ill put it on a new bg later and erase the white (or other colour) that is the background... its quite easy but i cant do it at the time of this post since im leaving soon, gonna go watch two towers finally ^_^

[_E_]

Chaos , nice sig, I see you upgraded your current weapon from "Blade" to "Scythe" :),...just make sure you stay away from me...j/k :D

BTW: Another way to do so it create a background colour/image in photoshop and they create layers on top of the background...

[Strider]

im gonna be making a new avatar and sig now myself due to my new hype in the two towers, saw it today and it was quite entertaining, especially the parts where gimli speaks, that guy is so funny :D

[Ninjaa]

The character on the far right of my sig is Vanessa from Silent Hill 2. She's the foundation of my sig though, so the others are less important. I wouldn't expect many to people to recognize the others.

[Strider]

i have 1 question for anyone, does anyone know where i can get another copy of the desktop which is in the rigth side of my sig ... i need to use it again for another signature image, i remembe i got it from a link someone posted in the perpetual desktop picture thread, the site i think had a black background theme and had a lot of wallpapers

[Hanamichi]

I spent like 20 mins trying to draw something nice, but I couldnt come up with anything. :heh:
I guess Ill just remain avatarless.
Ninja: there are others in your sig? :eek:

[Ninjaa]

If you want Han, I can make stuff for you. Just tell me what you want. I can't draw, but I am fairly good at image editing and picture finding.

There are actually 3 seperate pictures from 3 seperate sources in my sig image. There were actually 4 originally, but I didn't like the way the 4th blended, so I scrapped it.

[Hanamichi]

Make me something that makes me look stupid. Like a smiling face. ;)
Well I must say that your sig looks good, albeit a little dark. :)

[Ninjaa]

Yeah, I sucked most of the color out of it, and then decreased the contrast and brightness even further. It was a pretty dark picture to begin with.

If you are looking for something happy, I don't think I can manage that... Right now I can only manage dark things.

[chaosblade]

Strider, Did you mean this ?

[Hanamichi]

A smiling face is just an example. Anything silly would do. I wanted to make something silly but it turned up plain dumb.

[Ninjaa]

Well, here's the silliest thing I know. The Ministry of Silly Walks... (Thanks to Gamer1 for erasing the white when I was too drunk to be able to.... ;))

[Kane]

Ah, Monty Python at it's finest.

[Ninjaa]

Heh. Bet your ass. Monty Python is the finest thing to ever come out of England! :D

[Hanamichi]

Ah. That will do. Thanks. :D

[Strider]

>Strider, Did you mean this ?


hmm, it was like that, but the colours were better, the reflections on the ring were just plain awe inspiring, the letters on the ring were also less... flamboyant and on the picture it said "one ring to rule them all one ring to find them one ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them"

[chaosblade]

Or, In Other Words, Not it .

[Strider]

well... how do you guys like my new sig / avatar combo

[(F)ragnarok(F)]

it looks great. even better than the previous one :)

[Strider]

thx, tried to make it look less complicated by reducing the number of pictures in it and the blue theme fits in well, and that blonde girl is also a good thing to look at when youre bored

[Ninjaa]

Yeah, I think it's better as well. The far left picture is stretched a little too much, but it's great otherwise.

[Carnage]

/and that blonde girl is also a good thing to look at when youre bored/
that indeed,that indeed:love:

[_E_]

yeah, i agree, much better than before..........it doesnt need any more editing,....just perfect :)

[Strider]

>Yeah, I think it's better as well. The far left picture is stretched a little too much, but it's great otherwise.

technically it wasnt stretched it was squeezed :p i took the original pictures and made em 100 in height since i though i could upload them to my websites server but it didnt work so i squeezed it and put it up here :)

[chaosblade]

Ok im having second thoughts here .. im starting to dislike my new setting here . i think my name istoo long :P

[Ninjaa]

I was actually kind of wondering why all the pictures seemed so stretched, but the far left one was the most noticable. Post the original pic here, and I will host it for you.

[Strider]

actually i kind of like it like this, besides, i forgot to save it in psd format :heh:

[Ninjaa]

Well, if you change your mind, here's what it would look like stretched again.

Check my new sig... Can you guys tell how to improve and critique it...

Thank You

BTW: I had to use Image Ready 2.0 because Photoshop 5.5 decided not to run in Win Xp anymore for some odd reason...

[Strider]

>Well, if you change your mind, here's what it would look like stretched again.


heh, thanks but it looks cool in this little "compact" state its in now :) besides i could always make another sig whenever i felt like it ;)

[Ninjaa]

Alrighty. It's your choice, but the link is still there if you should ever change your mind, and if you do come out with another sig-image at some point, let me know and I will upload it for you.

[Zapages]

Thanks Ryos for the merge, I was in bit in a hurry when I posted this topic...

[Zapages]

This was my first sig, like two years old... Now compare that with my skills I have now... I think I have slightly improved...

I was bored at the drawingschool(in the artacademy),so i dicided to draw an evil gremlin,I did it without any examples or fotos,it came straight from my head,I posted it here because somebody might be able to use it,i tried to use it as avatar but I couldnt resize it properly...

[Omega]

There's a guy with Gizmo avatar :D

[Carnage]

I know,but nobody can resist the power of the dark gremlin:evil:

[Omega]

Yeah, you almost scared me Carnage...

[j1188]

I just got a DVD drive for xmas, so I decided to make a new sig from a movie!

ive noticed that we are all scared of eface's pic, so in order to overcome that fear, we have to see it more often. so would u guys mind if i changed my avatar to eface's pic? im serious here :)

[Ninjaa]

GOD NO! If you do.... you will be punished. I guarantee that. If you dare, then just try. ;)

Take that how you will. ;)

[(F)ragnarok(F)]

if i dont do this, he'll continue to torment us with his pix. he has one already loaded n waiting to be posted! do u want to continue living in fear?! ;)

[Violineb]

I won't change my avatar yet. But here's another Ani GIF I made, fell free to steal it :) Not usefull as an avatar unless I edit it. But it's funny. AHHHHHHHH Kill the clowns!

anyway..she's very hot..her music is cool too. Listen to it =p

[Ninjaa]

I love your new sig Janus. ;)

[Kraiger Drago]

My old Avatar started to bother me, so I went and made this shiny new one, whoo wee.

[Sera]

too bad i dont have a sig...could someone create one for me?:emb:

[_E_]

I can make one if you like to....I just need 2 days and i ll finish it up... what pics or figures would you like to see on that sig?

[Finalbuster]

Hum... Do you like my new avatar? I think it has determination...

[GSDragoon]

I made mine using ZSNES's Super 2xSAI Engine. BTW, does anyone know how to make transparent stuff in a pic? I want to make the white backround transparent.

[Strider]

i copy the image to a new image with a transparent background, make a new layer, paste it, and delete the white with a usually a little feathered or smoothed magic wand

[GSDragoon]

So i need some other program to do stuff like that?

[Strider]

well, i was describing the adobe photoshop way so i dont know how you'd do that in most other programs

[jegHegy]

it would be easier if you'd simply set the transparent color to...well, to the color you want transparent ^^

nyaa

[Kraiger Drago]

Here you go [FF]Dragoon- all transparenty. Why? because I am a nice guy dammit.

[Ninjaa]

Originally posted by Strider

A feathered magic wand.... why the hell did I never think of that? I always traced the damn thing manually. Thanks Strider.

[Kraiger Drago]

Personally, I reccomend the magic wand settings to be on "Contigous" with a really low Tolerance setting (less than 15). It creates a very, very crisp outline that doesn't eat away at edges of the image like having it set on anti-aliased can. And since Adobe automatically smooths it when you resize it, having smooth edges to start with makes the finished project look Bad. Double Smoothing can be very, very ugly.

[Sera]

thanks, maybe i'll want to have FF8 characters on it, especially squall, and just my name.

hey dragoon, i think it is easier if you just convert it to GIF, gifmaker have the transparent options in them, then your ready to go!

[T.O.F.K.A.Z]

-- testing my new sig img --

So this one will do :)

[jegHegy]

it would look quite nice if it weren't this pixellated...resize with a bilinear filter, or draw the entire pic in a higher resolution. or don't scale at all.

nyaa

[T.O.F.K.A.Z]

This is how it origionally looked.
Problem is it's to little IMO

I like the blond girl, but the original blue hair girl made us to download the image ASAP. :D

[Kane]

What's it from? Looks like it was drawn by the same peeps that did Azumanga.

[Sera]

It doesnt look evilish...

[Kellicros]

>> What's it from? Looks like it was drawn by the same peeps that did Azumanga.

It's Gu from Jungle wa itsumo Hare nochi Gu (http://www.animenfo.com/anime.php?id=222), and it's a must-get for those who like funny and crazy anime. :D

>> Ah very manly
:heh:

>> It doesnt look evilish...
:evil:

[Exodus]

i don't know if its evil, but its definetly creepy. yet strangly fun to watch.:eek:

[Violineb]

YAY I finally had time to make me a new sig. It will be my first one on this forum. So tell me what you think. And yes the text is meant to look that plain. If you use your brain and think what company uses that color text and those characters then you'll see why it makes sense. IF anyone has a way to make the text look more authentic then plz tell em. :D

[Violineb]

uh why don't img tags work in my sig?

[Kellicros]

>> uh why don't img tags work in my sig?

because they are not images url, the url must be ended with the extensions of image files.

[Kane]

Look man, just make a sig that is 500x80 and use the boards in built sig hosting.

[Adair]

Actually I was going to use this myself, but I don't wanna steal your style so you can use it if you want.

The only thing that i wish I could fix is that the shadows on the gun appear at the wrong time. You'd think it would be lit up when he fires, but the animators shaded it at that point. Wierd!

[Adair]

I also made these sigs. I'll probably use these on some other board, but I thought you might wanna use or see them.

I combined these 2 sigs real quick in MSpaint, the real ones are better quality.

[Kane]

Ah, don't worry, when I get some decent Samurai Deeper Kyo pic, I think I'm gonna have a change of style

[Violineb]

wonder if my sig works now :p

[Kane]

/me slaps Violineb with a large trout.
Use the boards built in sig hosting.

[Kellicros]

Or upload the pic to an alternate webserver.

[Violineb]

uh built in? in my controll panel right?

[Kane]

>uh built in? in my controll panel right?

yup

[Adair]

Cool avatar, Kane. So that is Samurai Deeper Kyo? Do you recomend this anime? highly?

[Kane]

>Cool avatar, Kane. So that is Samurai Deeper Kyo?

;) Yes it is

>Do you recomend this anime? highly?

I'll have to think about that one ;) (http://www.ngemu.com/kane/anime/anime.htm#Samurai%20Deeper%20Kyo)

[Kakashi]

Wowi Kane....sugoi avatar you got there...

But Squall....I think your new ava. is a shame to the one you had before...

But that's just me...:rolleyes:

[Kakashi]

BTW...

Is there any possibility to change my nick?

[chaosblade]

you could ask a mod/admin to do it for you .. if he is nice enough .

Guys, see my avatar ? i messed around with Phothoshop and ImageReady for hours , and i cant take that white yuck off it . can some one try to take it off and still keep it transperant ?

[Kakashi]

Hmmm....a mod eh? :)

Will do....

BTW...this white junk is quite difficult to "erase"....:mad:

[chaosblade]

I cant explain it .. when i use the same pic at another forum , which has a grey background , the white stuff dont apper . its not that i cant see it because it blends in , its just not there .

[Kakashi]

I'll try some more to erase it....BTW how do you change the text beneath the Ava.?

[chaosblade]

Beneath ? what text ? you mean like you have 'Member' ?

Just go to your control panal and write something in the "Custom User Text" box . it used to be allowed after 400 posts , but i think the post min was removed .

[Kakashi]

Might sound stupid....no...it is...where is that Custom User Text box?

[chaosblade]

Userp CP => Edit Profile or Edit Options => Custom User Text

[Kakashi]

Well....it seems as if I don't have that option yet...thx anyways.

I belive its cause you need to be registered for atleast a month and have 50 posts before that is possible:)

[Kane]

So what you think of my new sig and avatar combo. They are from Samurai Deeper Kyo, a quite excellent anime (if the ending is a bit fecked up). The sig was provided by Strider ;)
BTW, if yo don't see them, press refresh, as I couldn't be bothered to change my sig code everywhere, so I just uploaded it with the same name.

[Adair]

Quite nice, Kane :nod:
Nice work, Strider
I need to work on some photoshop skills.

:yawn: now I'm gonna have to do some searching to see if I can get my hands on Samurai Deeper Kyo.

[Kane]

Thanks

It's been licenced, so it should be out stateside before too long.

[Shiori]

About time you made a change. ;)

[Kane]

Well I might change again in about 6 months, if watch another anime with a cool swordfighter/ guntoting psycopath in it.

[Adair]

[chaosblade]

Yea, i like your new avatar aswell Kane ..

I should watch SDK myself .. i heard its pretty good , and ive also read your impression :) but anime in israel ? ill wait a long .. LONG .. time .

[jegHegy]

sugoii desu, Kane ^_^ i like high contrast images with lots of white, black, and red *_*

nyaa

[Kakashi]

Hey Chaosblade...looks nice now ^^

Oh and thx for the info Naru!

[Kakashi]

But to come back to this lil text beneatch the Nick...I can't change it, tho I have 50 posts...

I checked everywhere but I can't seem to find it/don't seem to have it...

What's wrong with me? ^^;;

[Kellicros]

I like your new combo, Kane, gotta get SDK soon. :)
Kakashi: Can you please tell me your old nick? d'oh... I am kinda confused... :heh:

[Adair]

Kakashi=Lord Alucard

[Kakashi]

Thx ^^

[Kakashi]

How the heck do you guys make your great banners btw?

Like Kane's...which I think is one of the best...

[Kane]

Don't you just love Alucards over the top guns.
Gods Alucard is so cool.
I so wish they'd make a new series of it, even if it doesn't follow the manga.
In case you can't tell, I like the sig, Adair.

>How the heck do you guys make your great banners btw?

I asked Strider nicely. My last one was done by CKEmu.

[Hydra]

Just make em yourself. :p

[Kakashi]

OH! CKEmu!

Of course...

Whats that? :eek:

[Kane]

He don't seem to hang around ere anymore, but he's still at Emufanatics.

[Kakashi]

So...you don't do em by yourself?

[Kane]

Hell no, I'm about as good with PSP as you are with nuclear reactors.
I probably could come up with something if Photodraw 2000 ran on WindowsXP

[Kakashi]

So you're a pro...^^

Well I guess I keep my site banners then...

BTW...to come back to the text beneath the nick....I CAN'T CHANGE IT!

HELP!

[Kane]

Like was said before, you have to have been here a month.
Think yourself lucky. In my day we had to get 700 posts before we could change out titles.

[Kakashi]

OH and I thought it was 50 posts OR 1 month regged...well ok then...I'll wait...

*stares at watch...*

[chaosblade]

I think thats two months Kakashi ..

Titles: when i joined it was 400 .. but Kane has much seniority over me , so he would know best .. the word 'omniscient' comes to mind again :)

[Kakashi]

Hehe...

Where can I actually see the EXACT date I joined in?

*still staring at watch...*

[Recca]

I had that before the month was over at that time:)

To Kakashi
Beneath your signature in the tab called profile and you registered at this date
27-01-2003
So you still have some days to go before you can change your nick?.

Bet its going to be something with the Sharingan or 1000 skill Kakashi

[Strider]

>>Quite nice, Kane
Nice work, Strider
I need to work on some photoshop skills.

heh, thanks, it was hard to make cause all three pics had parts of it cut off, so i had to layer it one over the other and blend, which can be very hard to do properly

[Kellicros]

LOL, now we have Kakashi, Naruto, and Sakura (http://www.ngemu.com/forums/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=17199) here, I think I am gonna get my Sasuke avatar back up. :p

[Adair]

Judging from the finished product, I'd say you handled the difficulty as Aragorn would handle a single orc:
[list=1]
gracefully
with ease
in his sleep
all of the above:p
[/list=1]
The history of my sig:
I got the images for my pic out of the 5th episode of Hellsing. If anyone remembers that scene when The Angel of Death(aka Walter) gives Alucard the new gun and the view sort of pans down the length of the gun as Alucard holds it and takes aim for the first time. Well that's how I got that great shot. I just took some shots of the gun as it panned and then editted them into one shot of the entire gun. Luckily the end of the barrel was before a black background which made it easy to add the pic of Alucard on the left. So in essence that's Alucard pointing the gun at himself.;)
Maybe its a bit more of a technical achievment than it looks like at first, but it's nothing compared to the pics Strider is producing.

>>In case you can't tell, I like the sig, Adair.
Thanks, Kane. (LOL, these new smilies are great:shock: , but the one with the finger poking is broken. You just get this :oi: )

[cooliscool]

New sig.

Enjoy it now. :D :loopy:
