Damn. Beat me to it. stick out tongue

DarkWizard
We want a Reder! *holds up picket sign*

DigiMark007
I vote no new render...I don't mind cutting my own out, and I need any advantage possible over DW. stick out tongue

...dang, 200KB? Maybe I'll have to look into those animation tutorials sooner than i thought. Expect something wildly ambitious but utterly crap-tastic. sad

And what's that girl from?

Not a render.

As Lana put it:

A render is an image that has already had the background cut out so that it is transparent and is saved as a PNG image.

Is it a JPEG? Does it have a background? Then it's not a render, and it's no good for use.

As has been explained numerous times, and as it says in the rules thread: a render is an image where the background has already been cut out; normally they're saved as PNGs so that the background is transparent.

Edit: Damn you Saucy stick out tongue beat me to it.

Enjoy your sandwich Digi stick out tongue

DarkWizard
Mace, Do you know what a render is?

H. S. 6

mace=badass

It's not a PNG, but the background is a single color so it'll work.

So this is the guy we're working with? Fine by me...but what is he from? I like to have some sort of frame of reference about the image before I start.

DigiMark007
I honestly don't know what I'll be doing with 200KB. Sans animation (which I have yet to learn) I can't fathom a way to make a 450x150 that big. But at least I don't have to worry about going over anything. smile

DarkWizard
I'm out of Ideas. messed

DigiMark007
Well, um good luck then with that (or not, I guess... stick out tongue)

...as my sigs gets more and more ambitious and complex, they take longer, but I'm hoping to have this done tonight (Sunday)

I'd get busy, But I'm writing in my script.

DigiMark007
{Edit} loaded the render by accident...hold on.

DigiMark007
double post...sorry

Lana
laughing out loud having some trouble there?

DigiMark007
Ok, here we go.

Wasn't going to post it tonight, but I'll probably wake up too late tomorrow and be rushing to get to work anyway so now's as good as ever.

I found out the dude in the image is from Unreal, so I took that theme and ran.

And (you'll appreciate this DW, since I know you're a movie dork too) I have a hidden tie-in with the quote "The Brute Squad". Yes, Andre the Giant is hidden in the Unreal symbol....a subtle homage to his line "I am the brute squad" from the movie 'The Princess Bride' (a great film).

Super-dorky, I know (and kinda obscure). embarrasment But once I thought of it I had to do it.

Anyway, that's just the dinky crap...hopefully the sig itself is good too. smile
80KB, by the way...my largest sig ever though nowhere near 200KB. Couldn't fit his whole name without it looking bad, but I hope 'DW' is fine.

Lana
Princess Bride reference eek! that is one of my absolute favorite movies.

Notice the Flashing Light on the gun, for the Right image.

(I might just lose this one)

mace=badass
DW,
~cool background
~cool font
~I like the flashing light.

DigiMark
~neat background
~also cool how you added pictures.
~I loved your Princess Bride reference(excellent movie)

It was close but............

































DigiMark takes this one.

DarkWizard
sad

Nice duel.

Ya, I'll go with digimark.

smile Likewise. And a long overdue "HA!" for finally beating you, though you still have the lifetime series right now (2-1).

...I checked my Priness Bride DVD. The reference was slightly off. Andre says "I'm in the brute squad" and Billy Crystal's character replies "In it? You are the brute squad." or something similar. Still, I knew it was in there somewhere.

...nice duel though...a good warm-up for my eventual loss in the tourney. confused wink

DigiMark007
Wow. I was lucky to win this. From a retrospective vantage point, Dusty's looks a lot more polished than mine, and I wasn't even touching animations at the time so he was well ahead of me in technical skill....in Gimp, no less.

I guess Andre the Giant won it for me.

:dork:
