[thegeneralpublic]

Yeah, clan pride is a great thing. Nice job! I like the first one with its cicular desgins.

[stolin]

yeah dude! its crazy and atomic!!!! :shock:

[Maleficent]

Haha the 1st one I have to admit wasn't really my idea, I didn't know what to make so I just tried to do somethin like Yusuke's lol. Oh yea and i made the banner I have now too :P

Not sure if this works, but it's a bigger version of my new avvy. Prettier too.

It still looks very slow to me, to much time for each frame... Or is it just me?

[FIRE REIGN 2]

Although, it is a little slow, I like the effect of that one better.

You can actually see the fire building up, and then blowing away. Whereas, with the other one, it just kind of goes Dragon, Fire, Dragon. Just my opinions, though.


~FIRE REIGN 2 :fight:

[Maleficent]

Yea I had to make it under 29K that's why it's like that.

[Yawgmoth]

A thought, maybe you could make the dragon frame longer? So it's like: Dragon, dragon, dragon, FIRE! dragon dragon dragon FIRE!

[Maleficent]

lol I suppose I could, although I had it short to make it more like it was hiding in the fire. Bah I'm having trouble making it faster. Ah well.

[Maleficent]

Oh by zee way, if anyone wants a sig or avvy done by me just ask and I'll see what I can do :mrgreen:

[Yawgmoth]

Hmm, could you make me a new signature? Something Phyrexian/Yawgmoth/Order stuffy..

[Maleficent]

Can do, just give me a bit to come up with somethin good :D

[Maleficent]

Hm... how's this?

http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/971/banner61yw.jpg

May be a bit hard to read... I have problems with that lol. I can always change the text though. Bah too bad you can't see the background, it's some weird machiney-people kinda thing lol.

[Yawgmoth]

Thanks for the banner :) I like the quote ;)

[Maleficent]

No problem, it's got the 3 things you asked for too :P. Haha yea I heard that somewhere before... lol

[Mors]

Hey could you make me a sig?
Please?
Something darkish?

[TJ]

WHat does the banner say? I can't really read it very well.

[Yawgmoth]

Mortality is overrated ;)

[TJ]

Man, thats really awesome!

Darkish I can do, any specifics? Or just your general, dark, evil sig? I must warn you it may take me a while though because at the moment I'm pretty busy with some other stuff.

Thanks TJ!

[TJ]

No prob man heheh

[Yawgmoth]

Maleficent: Maybe you should open a Bannershop in the Avatars&Banners forum?
(or go into co-operation with the rest of the Orders more "artistic" members ;))

[TJ]

Hmmm...could that be a hint or what?

[Maleficent]

Eh maybe but I'm not sure I could keep making stuff, kinda busy. Though I guess I could be a designer for Yawgmoth's Bargain, Inc. if I were good enough lol.

[TJ]

You are btw XD

[Yawgmoth]

A co-operation would be kind of nice actually, split the burden! (actually as there is no real request after banners and avatars, the burden is kind of really low) But the name of the shop maybe would have to change then.. Although I personally like the idea of having this kind of stuffthing thingy.

[Maleficent]

lol alright I suppose I could do that, don't see any reason for a name change though :P lol.

[Maleficent]

lol alright I suppose I could do that, don't see any reason for a name change though :P lol.

[Yawgmoth]

Well, hmm, how should we do it?

[Maleficent]

I guess if someone asks for an avatar or sig from Yawgmoth's Bargain, Inc., then either you could make it or I could make it (or whoever else is working there) or it could be a shared project. And the scrapmea- erm customers could suggest a certain person to do it if they wanted.

OR I could make my own shop as a subordiante or franchise maybe and we could divvy up our customers if one person has too many *shrugs*.

[Yawgmoth]

Hmm, well... Choose your destiny!

Also I took the freedom to edit the banner you made for me (I opened it in Ps and copied the layer and changed the copied layer's blending to Hard Light. Thought the contrast made it easier to the eyes)

[Maleficent]

Oh that looks good, I'll have to pay more attention to those lol. Well I don't think I'll open up a shop of my own. Don't have enough time to do that many right now... maybe later though. I guess I'll just work under yours for now if you wish :P.

[Yawgmoth]

Layers are fun to play with!

Also, could you give me a list of url:s for the works you've made? I could put them up with the examples and previous work in the first post of the Order-bannershop. And then change the other texts and stuffs,,

[Maleficent]

Haha I only started recently thanks to Yusuke, I put about all the stuff I made so far in this thread so um if you quote the ones with pictures it has the files for them :P.

[Maleficent]

OK, how's this Mors? (I know the text sucks, but I couldn't think of anything better :P. If anyone has a better idea I'll gladly change it):

IT MOVES!! YAY!

[UnknownKnowned]

haha that line sounds like something from a cheesy 80's horror movie
DEMONS ARE AMONG USSSS!!! *gets killed*

very spiffy, it moves 8)

[Maleficent]

lol be afraid, be very afraid...

moving banners > you :P

[TJ]

They are y'know. Thats pretty cool man

[Streetz]

That moving banner is really cool. I haven't read the entire thread.. but what did you use to make it?

[UnknownKnowned]

he sold his soul to yawgmoth.

It's just that easy, anyone can do it!

And more exactly, I searched google for the pictures (except for 2 which were given to me), put them in adobe photoshop, messed 'em up a bit, and made it move with uh what's that thing called... I saw someone mention it in these forums... bah I'll figure it out when I get home I guess. The program isn't that great (I have to do some sets of movingness slide by slide in photoshop) but it gets the job done).

Thanks for the comments! Oh just to let people know, I can't make anything else till after Christmas or so (which isn't that long though).

[Maleficent]

ANIMAGIC! That's it.

[Maleficent]

Another.. uh.. something :P (I had this done a LONG time ago but never posted it because it's not done, ah well.)

[img=http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/3302/something21ey.th.jpg] (http://img38.imageshack.us/my.php?image=something21ey.jpg)

[Yawgmoth]

Good picture! I would suggest working somewhat on more "sharpness" in your pictures, you could try opening it in Photoshop and doing a paintover on a new layer or something. The Yellow area in this picture is quite lacking IMHO, but I really like the vines/roots looking things on the bottompart :D

What sort of pens/crayons/something are you using?

[Maleficent]

Yup the yellow part is where I wanted to add something but couldn't figure it out. Hm, sharpness, eh? Yeah I get that problem a lot. Any idea how to help it? It's colored pencil by the way.

[Yawgmoth]

Use a pencil sharpener a lot? ;) Otherwise it could be the quality of the pencils... I don't use colored pencils very much. One thing you could try would be using Photoshop, it's great :D

If you're doing them with ordinary pencils you could use a copiator or something to make the coloured pencils not smudge as much.

[Maleficent]

Bah I probably should, I need an electric one *nods* and a better job to pay for 'em, I think the brand I have is the best one (Prismacolor, though only have of that is with those lol). Eh I don't have a hand-held thing for Photoshop, so nah.

What's a copiator? A spray or something?

[Yawgmoth]

Prismacolors.. Hmm, those should be good, hmm. And keeping them sharp is very important. Hand-held thing? Hmm? I mostly use my mouse for painting in photoshop nowadays, the only available example would be the Nephilim/Solitude thing I made. I could edit some suggestions on your picture if you want to?

Sorry for my English skills, but in swedish a "kopiator" is a... machine that makes copys of papers/photos/etc? I don't know what you call it English :/ But those are good when you want to colourize a drawing. Since then the ordinary pencilwork will not be all smudged out when you use coloured pencils over them.

[Maleficent]

Eh I'm not so good at drawing with a mouse, so I'll just stick to the pencils :P.

Hahaha I was way off, in english it's a copier and with that drawing I hardly did anything with a normal pencil anyway lol. Sure I'll take suggestions for it if you want :P and by the way I sent you my so-called 'critique' of your pictures a little while ago in case you haven't gotten them.

[Yawgmoth]

Well, training makes you better (hopefully :P) I sucked at drawing with mouses before, but I'm starting to learn now. I'll try to do a paintover in photoshop today. And post it here.
Also: Yes, I got your critique on the pictures, and I think I replied? Did I not?

[Maleficent]

Eh I didn't get a reply. Yeah I should try that if I ever get time lol I already got a new idea for a picture er 3 actually, 2 for those contests and another one :D
