dude y cant u get it off limewire or somethin?...or have someone make a copy for ya

Check out my new sig & avatar.
This is the first time I kinda like my own work, what do you guys think?

Simple, clean, I like it. Just try to cut your images better. The avatar image still has some white around the head.

I made a background that's not done yet.



Because I'm a helpful guy, here's a quick tutorial for lightning (like the blue lightning in my BG)

Create a new image - any size.

Hit D to restore colours top default (F-Black, B-White), then use your gradient tool on default settings and drag it across your image roughly horizontal.

Now go to filter > render > difference clouds

Now hit shift+I to inverse your image. You should see bright white lightning down the middle.

Now you have lightning, but there's too much white around it, so hit ctrl-L to bring up levels. Drag the black arrow on the slider to the right until there is just a thing strip of white with a bit on the edges.

Paste this as a new layer onto your image and set the blending mode to screen.

If you wish to colorize the lightning like I did in my BG, hit ctrl-u. Check the 'colorize' box and change the saturation and hue to your liking.

^for the first month I had Photoshop I was obssessed with making lighting. It was the only thing I knew how to do. Did you find that in a tut?

Probably, I have good tutorials bookmarked.

That's just like stealing people's work, you suck at Photoshop!

j/p, I used tutoirals to learn how Photoshop works and to make my first few sigs. Plus, I like how you used those two efects together. It looks good

I just finished a new Tupac sig (yep, another). I kinda like this one. Can you guys rate this on a scale of 10?


What color would look good with that? Olive?

I would give it a 5-6. The font is horrible imo, a better font selection would help a lot, along with a different font colour. The cropping needs work, especially on the far right picture. Put some contrast on the main picture to make it stand out more.

What font and color would you recommend?

where do you see cropping mistakes?

I would use something simple or a script font in a white or very light colour. As for the cropping, look on the far right pic, his elbow was completely cut off.

Look a lot closer, that line is the cube in the background. The rest of the elbow is there, it's just at maybe 6% opacity.

That'd be a very recognizable signature, Mazzochi

Cool work there, people...

In my PS2 Online League for NBA Live 05, my friend made me a banner. Here it is:

Well, the T-Mac screen looks like he made a screenshot from Live 2004, and Dirk's screen is even from 2003!

Simple, clean, I like it. Just try to cut your images better. The avatar image still has some white around the head.

Thanks dude, I hadn't seen that yet since I'm basically on a too high resolution for my monitor.
Better now right?

ps. with simple and clean you hopefully mean that there not TOO much going on?

yeah i had to do a lot of *COUGH*Reasearch for that signature. Hard stuff but it payed off.

The resolution couldn't have been the issue, I run on 1600x1200. And yea better, and yea that's what I meant.

The resolution couldn't have been the issue, I run on 1600x1200.

I meant how I'm running 1024x768 on a small monitor, but if I pick 800x600 I can't see all Photoshop tools.

Anyway we gotta post some more art instead of bs

Limewire is a pirating program, its absolute crap though, lots of viruses. thats why i use Bitorrent

I tried Bitorrent or some kind of torrent to get "A Basketball Game" but I never could get it to work
Nor did I know what I was doing either, anyone in here nice enough to make a copy or send Photoshop to me somehow?
