warhawk 0 Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 (edited) I sat down last night and hacked out a first for myself. A sig soley designed by me. Now I know I am not ready for sig awards yet but I would like to hear what everyone thinks about this new one. Before I go "live" with it that is.

Specter 0 Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Can you lose some of the distortion? Other than that, it looks great bro.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
warhawk 0 Posted August 10, 2003 Author Share Posted August 10, 2003 If your talking about the distortion on the bird I can by changing the sig size. Problem is it no longer becomes long and sleek if you will rather tall and fat. That really wasn't the look I was trying for. The reason the bird is getting distorted like that is because I can only use a portion of him and I wanted the head and part of the body in the sig. But again it depends on what you mean by distortion. Stout Hearts Warhawk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

warhawk 0 Posted August 10, 2003 Author Share Posted August 10, 2003 @Phantom No worries. I went ahead and decided to go with the new sig as is for the time being. I will of course still take any suggestions that anyone might have into consideration. Stout Hearts Warhawk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stinger 0 Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Tis a good sig I like it. And I entered my current sig into the sig awards and seing how urs is a bird and kinda nature and all I don't see why you couldn't submit it. You should grab EyeCandy 4000 for photoshop it's a great tool makes all my graphics on my site and there is also one called xeno something. If you want 'em send me a pm. @RS lol, I wonder how long these jokes will go on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Syncopator 0 Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 @WH I like it. One suggestion would be to change the font colour (or color..) from black to a lighter tone (text in top right). Also perhaps make the Warhawk ever so slightly bigger and maybe add drop shadow to it. Other than that...v nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
warhawk 0 Posted August 11, 2003 Author Share Posted August 11, 2003 To those that have leant constructive ideas to my new sig: Just so you know I am watching this post and am currently working on a few of the suggestions. Since I am new to this and still learning I will be using a huge curve to get it right! Keep them coming. Thanks again. Stout Hearts Warhawk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stinger 0 Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 (edited) @Stinger We are talking about freeware here, correct? yeah it would be free to warhawk...show us some more sigs warhawk! You should try a bald eagle to match your avatar. Edited August 11, 2003 by Stinger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
warhawk 0 Posted August 11, 2003 Author Share Posted August 11, 2003 @Stinger I think I will pass on the bald eagle for myself. Wouldn't go with my nic. Stout Hearts Warhawk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stinger 0 Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 @Stinger I think I will pass on the bald eagle for myself. Wouldn't go with my nic. Stout Hearts Warhawk Ah good point. Maybe shrink this down http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=hom...DUTF-8%26sa%3DG and make it into a sig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Velocity 0 Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 @WH My personal suggestions would be to include a border - just a 1 pixel thick border should do it. Try out different colours until you find the one you like the most. Also it would look slightly better in my opinion if you added an outglow to the text s it stands out more from the background image. Especially on the 'We Will Not' bit. I say to our enemies God may have mercy on you...BUT WE WILL NOT Anyway, its up to you, its your work. Looks great though, nice job Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Parabellum 12 Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Man, you Navy guys and Marine guys shore do like to brawl, don't you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zebb 7 Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Well, they dont have much else to do when their on board ship together for weeks on end, in fact there is one more thing they could get up to but i dont think this is the forum to be exploring those deep dark barrels..... Lol *Disclaimer* This is just a joke before anyone gets offended.... " Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Specter 0 Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 @Zeb No offense taken mate. Youre pretty much clued in. But I will say this. For all the brawling and joking, and mock insults that fly around between our two services, when the crap hits the fan, there is no more comforting sound than to hear a couple of Navy jets coming in to cover your 6, or the artillery barrage from a handy battleship to clear a path to your 12 and make sure you walk out alive. For everything that the USMC does, we couldnt do it all without the USN. But dont let it go to your head Squid Boy. Im not gonna let ya off that easy ! The sig is turning out very nicely.

Zebb 7 Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 No argument from me mate, i used to co-ordinate Navy and Jet Arty target fire and you knew that once you got on the horn and told them where you wanted it, thats where it went and in double quick time...

warhawk 0 Posted August 12, 2003 Author Share Posted August 12, 2003 It's the old "we may fight amongst ourselves but woe is to the outsider that steps in". It will be a cold day in an unmentionable place before I let one of my brothers or sisters from another branch of service, or my own, go down while I sit on the sidelines and watch. Back on topic...... I have yet another update to my new sig and you may view it below. @Velocity I didn't see your suggestion before posting this new version. So it's back to the drawing board for me. One thing about it this new sig design is giving me some good pratice with photoshop. Seeing how I don't know ###### I am doing with it in the first place.

Specter 0 Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 I would still lighten the Hawks face a bit on the left side, and choose a brighter more standout color for We Will NOT. But looking very very good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
