Like I told Psycho,

trying to make THIS SUPER AWESOME DOGFIGHT WITH FLAK AND MISSILES AND LAZERS AND KRATOS AND LIKE OVER 9000 PLANES IN A HUGE (small) 450x150 SIG

like most of you do, won't work in most cases.

  1. trying to make THIS SUPER AWESOME DOGFIGHT WITH FLAK AND MISSILES AND LAZERS AND KRATOS AND LIKE OVER 9000 PLANES IN A HUGE (small) 450x150 SIG like most of you do, won't work in most cases.
  2. In Photoshop, you can save .pngs at a much smaller file size when you Save For Web (shift+ctrl+alt+s). THE CHOICE IS YOURS ON WHICH PNG YOU PICK
  3. sigs with planes look kind of cheesy.
  4. DONT BE QUICK TO SAY THINGS
  5. When your pentooling isnt that smooth, go to Filter>Liquify, and with the bloat tool, fix your line. Liquify can also be used to fix mistakes in drawings.
  6. As long as the stock matches the flow of your tag, it doesn't matter what it looks like. Don't stress about it. Almost any image can be a good stock.
  7. Dont go crazy with brushes. You may think it's cool when you do so, but we all hate it.
  8. Less is more.
  9. Constructive criticism, is a good thing.
  10. Constructive criticism is ALWAYS a GOOD thing.
  11. "Another unsettling element in modern art is that common symptom of immaturity, the dread of doing what has been done before." - Edith Wharton

1. What the hell is this about?
2. Who is making this sig?
3. Most important question: WHY IS THIS PINNED?

Don't look at me. It was pinned when I got online.

I'm hoping there'll be more tips, Bleh? Or are you wanting us to contribute, too?

Actually, your most important contribution to ACS is being insanely attracted to Zaku.

1. Bleh exercising her bloated ego.
2. She's making a derogatory blanket statement about nearly the entire community, despite the fact that we have some really accomplished artists out there.
3. Because she can, and someone was dense enough to give her responsibility for something other than a pet rock.

Going against the intent of the topic starter, I personally think people should post protips too. People come in all different skill levels.

I'm sure she is a pretty accomplished artist. Don't be so quick to say stuff like that. You leave yourself open for stuff like "f off you do so and so and r nub because of so and so"

That explosion in your sig, it was isolated by me. Nobody else did an isolation of that image, and im the the only one on ACS that does effect extractions.
When somebody uses something I did, my job's done, I've contributed something, and it was used.

Unless you have something good for the damn thread, then dont bother posting on it.

Oh, and in that case, for PS users,



PROTIP: When your pentooling isnt that smooth, go to Filter>Liquify, and with the bloat tool, fix your line. Liquify can also be used to fix mistakes in drawings.
