How to make a sig, NLSC style... (tutorial)

I thought this might prove useful to people who are learning about making sigs, I've taken a look at the vast majority of sigs made by people here at the NLSC and I've come up with this tutorial. I would like it if one of the mods could sticky this as it might be useful for other people.

First we have to start with the base for your sig. The limits here at the NLSC are 450x100... these limits are strictly enforced, although if you have two sigs that are combined under 50kb you can probably get away with having both of them, at a combined 450x200. Throw in a quote just to rub it in a bit more. Now, your base should look something like this...



Now we get to insert our first picture! This is where it gets exciting, now at the NLSC there seems to be some rules regarding which pictures can and can't be included in your sig. They are something like this...

CAN BE INCLUDED

Rapper
Bandwagoned NBA player

CAN NOT BE INCLUDED

Anything else.

Alright, now to elaborate on that further here are a list of the acceptable rappers and bandwagoned NBA players...

2Pac
Josh Smith

That's it, no one else is deemed acceptable. Now for the purposes of this example I've gone slightly out of the circle and put in a rapper of my own choice, after you've inserted your picture it should look something like this...



Looks cool! Keep it up this way and people will be worshipping you in the Request a Sig Thread!! Now we need to add some text, and the most common text here at the NLSC is one of the following...

Corny song lyric
Corny slogan

Now, most of you will realize that a corny slogan doesn't really go too well with a picture of 2Pac, and a corny lyric might not go as well with Josh Smith. You can however mix and match, it doesn't always completely fail. Anyways here's one I prepared earlier...



We're almost done, a few more minutes and you too will have a sig of your own! Now most good sig makers need some credit, whether it's added onto the sig or whether it's added under the sig doesn't matter as long as they get their dues! Sig makers aren't usually egotistical people the credit on the sig is generally discret and not very easy to see, here's an example...



We're finished! Now you can upload it using Mazzocchi's sig and avatar useage tutorial in the NLSC Issues section, congratulations you've now made an NLSC-approved sig! I hope this has been helpful to people.

WTF?

Could be possible, because he said "dude".

For fucks sake. It has been stated that it is Vanilla Ice the rapper you stupid fuck.

I know that it has been stated. I just wanted to point that out.

P.S.: Oh, it's really Vanilla Ice The Rapper? I thought it was Vanilla Ice The Policeman.

How come Jowe get's away with 3 sigs?

You didn't point out anything though. You were implying that it might be Jae, when it was clear it was Vanillia Ice.

How come Jowe get's away with 3 sigs? Surprised

I did it originally as a protest against all the people who had 2 sigs just because they were in the reality show thing.. But turns out. Its not in the rules that I can't have more then 2 sigs or 3...

Great post Jae That ought to teach them...
I do hope that it's sarcasm though, I'm not too sure...


By the way, would only alowing one image in the sig be a good idea?

hehe...nice Jae
but only rappers??....i think here are some Rock band fans too

Sarcasm is my middle name. After the one my parents chose.

ONYX continues to reign supreme over the Kingdom of Wankhood.

But yeah, I think only having one pic as a sig is probably better... despite the fact that Jowe blames me soley for people in the NRS having multiple sigs

Anyone know if Paintshop is ok for sig making ?

I've got it installed and ready to use...

You mean Paint Shop Pro? That's what I use for graphical stuff.

Yeah thats what I got, got a site for tutorials Jae ?

Nah I just taught myself how to use it, I'm sure there's some decent tutorials around somewhere though.

Nice tutorial, but I thought the limit was 400x100.

damn i have to get a new sig now
