I thought the same thing and it put a smile on my face!
Snowily that did come out really very cool! Kinda hard to see the BG at first though with the blur and all!
LOVE the font though!
lol that first one is soooo me too! 
TY so much for doing that!

I blurred it partially because when I scaled it, it was Very pixely and blurring was the fastest way to take care of it. Then I worked on other parts for a while and unblurring got lost off the history window and I didn't feel like recutting a new unblurred and smudge sticking the whole thing so... Lazy.. my excuse is lazy. >.>
The font was fun. I've done lots of metallic fonts before. found a cool technique for the lightning though.

...Hexy isn't the only one think gutterally today. 
Btw: those are some sweet manips.
I have to say a little too much dark for my personal liking, but with the material you had to work with it turned out very cool.

Me too
lol why is that not a suprise?
I dunno, should it be? hehe
the big problem I have found doing this kind of work is that you do one or two that come out wmgawesomesauce, and then everyone expects the same quality from all future work (not saying anyone here does, I just used to do this sort of thing for my guild a lot. One cool sig and everyone is "zmg! I want one!!!!" then you do a few that are good, but not as good and its 'er. gee thanks. mine sucks.')
The problem with not being skilled, at all, with actually drawing anythign is you are limited to the quality of the pieces you start with to a large extent. Yea, I can do neat stuff with hair most of the time, and baggy clothes, capes, scarves, etc. However, not everyone has these features to mess around with. 90% of screenshot manipulation is just that, manipulation. I'm not someone who can take your screenshot and make something totally new and uber out of it I can just touch it up, add some shading, maybe give it a painted 'look' but I'm not actually painting it, just manipulating the image to Look like I did.
Its all an illusion, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't
That said, I have a lot of fun Trying to make it work, and don't mind sharing those attempts with you guys, or making those attempts on your toons. Just keep in mind, I don't think of myself as an artist, just decent with special effects and makeup If you are looking for original art, talk to one of the many fabolous artists on these boards. I just make cool shots look cooler. (I hope.) This isn't a complaint post by any means, but I just wanted to state it for the record I guess.
I've had issues in the past where I volenteer to make someone a sig, and it doesn't come out as good as the last one, and their dissapointment is palatable. And I feel guilty cause I didn't deliver.
Its easier I think, if you imagine what I do to be more along the lines of scissors, glue, glitter and construction paper, than actually drawing anything.

Seriously though, thanks for letting me practice on ya TA. I learned that I will NEVER AGAIN use someone in solid black as a subject.
Evar.
meh, I'm not really happy with it, a lot of what I do is shadow retouching and highlighting. for a character in a hood, who's one solid color, this what what I came up with.

Well he does have blue highlights and a blue electris aura running all the time, also he always has the charged armour on so it's not a completely black character, the wire running under his armour are all blue also. I have seen many artists use the electrical effects to make the character pop alot and it always comes out great!
But yeah with a screenshot manip I guess it would be hard to work with. Sorry bout that!
>_>
TA screen shot artz

no?
ok fine.
