My very firstest sig! - Page 2 - Final Fantasy XI :: Dreams in Vana'diel :: Community

In all my time in gaming, sigs have always been for style. Show off what you can make. I do understand your point with showing your own character though. A new sig with my stoopid warrior in scale mail is in the works. I'll still keep this around for the simple fact, it looks good.

As far as the sig itself:
I actually didnt put any borders at all in it, the border you do see is a result of drop shadows, various layers, and several other options used throughout. It isnt a skin, it's all rectangles, colors, and blending options. A great sight that has taught me virtually everything I know:

Here is my latest and greatest! I hope it's within everyone's personal standards, Id hate to get negative rep and cussed at again.

I feel like it's missing something, but finally just saved it anyway. Mature comments only this time.

I like it. It's a bit on the large size, but everyone's taste is different in that area. I think it works pretty well.

should try out what Taskmage said earlier about rendering big and shrinking it down. you'll get a much sharper image that way (see Strom's example).

I like the scenic background, but the boxes don't seem to do much for it.

I'd pull in the warrior further, and bring the name up under his eyes. You can list your jobs, missions, crafts, and such under it. On the other side you could pull a few more models out of the viewer and create some small scene. Something with you about to lethal drop tech whatever enemy you've hated the most thus far.

That's exactly what I did this time around. Does it still look choppy? It looked pretty smooth to me... I'll play with it some more.

yeah, see the edges on the GA shaft

I like the PLD one better. Who cares if you're not level 75 with relic armour? At least it could be considered one of your goals.

Melita · 08-15-2006, 09:31 AM

Nice man. I like the pose a lot. I think it looks better than your last one but a little empty in the middle. Mabey some stats? Anyway i think you should keep that char pose.

Actually I really like this newe one. Looks like YOU are going through and just slaughtering things.

Newbz · 08-16-2006, 12:52 AM
