[QUOTE="spyke412"]All you guys with leopard are making me jealous. :cry:SolidSnake35

I've heard good things about it. I can afford it too so I'll definitely look into it.

Safari is a web broswer made by Apple. It's pretty good. But definitely firefox.

Well, it's not sci-fi, if that's what you're thinking. It's fantasy. By "alien" I mean a race from overseas. It's also told in first-person.

I don't think that first-person is really the best way to tell a story. Most of the time this means that the character doesn't die or he wouldn't be able to tell the story. I think your better of telling it in third-person, that way the reader doesn't know who's safe.

Sweet, thanks man! :DNitrous2O

No problem. :D

Would anyone like to make a No One Lives Forever (PC) sig? Or NOLF/Crysis?

Anyone using GIMP? I was playing with it for the first time last night, and came up with this:

I could have gone with the campy flora theme of NOLF 1, but instead chose the darker colors of NOLF 2. H.A.R.M.'s sub is in the background (not easily visible).

I definitely need to spend some more time with the program though.

I was using the alpha channel method for transparency, and the character (Cate Archer) image keeps coming up "washed out". If possible, I'm wondering if I need to cut/crop around her image instead and then paste it on the background instead.

The other problem I was having is that no matter what I did, I wasn't able to push the crosshair layer underneath the character and title layers, it seemed to always "float" to the top and thus overlap those images.

Anyway, I'd definitely be interested in what you guys can come up with :) Or any tips!

Hmm...that's really not too bad for your first attempt. I recomond going to gimptalk.com and doing some tuts there. If you keep with it, you'll be making awesome sigs like mine in no time.8)

Now to help with some of your problems. To crop, or render (you should probably become familiar with this term), the character try using this tutorial. http://www.gamespot.com/pages/unions/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=25732676&union_id=6873. I did not write this and I believe the user who posted it did. Your problem with the crosshair layer is probably that you didnt add an alpha channel to the bottom layer. To do this, right click the layer in the "layer's dialog" and click "add alpha channel." Now it should work.
