    I plan on playing with it more and getting a better font with some streaks running through it as if it's getting blasted by the toon. I'm just not that good yet. I did try darkening the blast and going with a lighter colored type but it didn't make sense with the main blast being an energy blast which is white and blues....

    I really only do basic color corrections and very basic retouching at work and only when the main imaging guy isn't here. It's just something I've learned to do on my own when I was bored here at work. I work in a commercial photo studio and usually just get to retouch bad set building or match colors to merchandise.

    Anyway thanks for the great feedback everyone!

    Any Goons still around?


    More like this one, I think, Nancy.
  5. Technically, NYC is New York City, so it wouldn't qualify for anything but the city itself.

    I think for once I might be left alone long enough to get some game time in. I might be on my AoE blaster as well.

    PS. I DC'd last night and didn't hear if you still needed some cheap commons. I hope you didn't think i was ignoring or just teasing you.
    I have lots of emoticons.



    And a new sig!

    Friday TFs

    Planning on an ITF to finish off my blaster. 930pm EST, log in a little early so we can be off on time.

    Should be 50 at the end of the night.
  10. Hi Scoots! Welcome to my hangout where I drool and bemoan my lack of fundage. If you ever want to see a Viv piece, lmk.

    That's not a lot of space, man!

    Chat bug fixed!

    *dons a tinfoil hat*
  16. *walks in, the sound of her spurs jingling, her duster swishing*

    Howdy all. *sigh* It has been an absolutely miserable last couple days. My best friend in the world dumped me, and now I feel like this completely unpurposeful...thing. I mean, this was a person I talked to all day everyday, and now I can't. A person I spilled my guts to, and loved dearly, even if it was stupid to.

    *scuffs her toe on the floor of the Rookery to distract from wiping her eyes*

    I told someone on here that I couldn't have a super serious friendship because I didn't know if I had room in my heart for it, but now there's this gaping, bleeding, torn space, and I'm having an incredibly hard time dealing with it.

    *takes a hanky out of her pocket and blots the tears with with*

  17. Link to Viv is in my sig, if you want to try her out.

So I combined that with my City of Nuts character, and found a happy final... oh and then I had to center it. I only wish now I could make a 4 balloon linked one, but to do that would require some splicing and it would become too wide. I'd animate it, but then that would only annoy more people...

    Yes I am a Gemini.
    Wow, thanks! It's changed right now, but it'll be back.

    If you don't mind my asking Viv how did you do that?

    P.S. Yes these emoticons stink on ice as well as other things about the new forums... where the heck is the "view all" pages button?!?!? I prefer to have one page and scroll down, having to click next for each page is lame.
    Ahh...I start with a transparent background in Photoshop, and then type and manipulate the text/silhouette/whatever, from there. Test by adding a new layer, dump a dark color into it, shrug and be happy it works, and then delete the dark layer, save as PNG with 300 pixels per inch, and then upload to my photobucket.

    Let me find some more.









    Those are all meant for a light background (especially the Junglesnow one), but that's what I do.

It's a bit harder to find where there have been new posts as well, even if they have the little triangle thingies. I don't really like the new setup for PMs, either. I can't see what person sent them in the list of PMs, and I don't see an option to change it (let me know if someone knowsof one). Not sure I need to see all my sent PMs, but that should be a nice feature for some.

    Images in sig lines might be okay, though I think Des is going to make the Victory forums NSFW with his, heh.
    ...I could do worse, but I don't want to get banned.


  22. Come on, whips! I want one.

    I want these kind too:
