Ok, so I'm stupidly proud of myself for this, but I just made my first Userbar. I couldn't find one for Lambert and Butler on the actual site.

I have no skills with Photoshop as I tend to get more than a little frustrated, but I thought I'd have a go using a tutorial I found and I did it!

I'm sharing this with you while I have the taste for making these, so if any of you wany any specific ones made that you can't find on the site, just ask.

I demand you make me one that says 'KMC User' with a picture of my avatar on it mhm

I will offer any particular services in exchange dodgy

Of course I'll make a KMC one, I was just looking for a suitable logo.

Just made this in honour of the fabulous series;

Yep, except because I still don't know how to cut something out of a picture (rendering? Is this called rendering?) it means I have to use already 'rendered' images with transparent backgrounds.

Currently working on it

Of course, once I work out the above problem

Of course, once I work out the above problem

Rendering is simple; just unlock the image layer (double click it in the layer pallete) and cut it out. You can use then pen tool or the polygonal lasso (hold down the lasso tool, it's the second option). It takes lots of clicking and is time consuming but easy.

Ah so...

Well, I made this one;

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v624/Syrenna/Userbars/photouserbar.jpg

Using this camera image;

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v624/Syrenna/Userbars/camera.gif

All I did was select the edges of the camera using the Polygonal lasso, then used the Quick Mask (did I need to do that as my camera image ended up being so small that the edges really didn't show?). Then I clicked the Standard Selection button and chose the Move Tool, then transferred the camera onto my userbar and shrunk it down to size.

Was all of that necessary?

no2

Well, I just made this.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v624/Syrenna/Userbars/dnbuserbar.jpg

What did I do wrong before?

wow

Thanks chick

Right, you wanted a Poetry one and also an Infamous one?

I'll get on it

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v624/Syrenna/Userbars/poetryuserbar.jpg

If it works, it works

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v624/Syrenna/Userbars/infamoususerbar.jpg

Exactly, Lana.

You think it works?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v624/Syrenna/Userbars/infamoususerbarsyren.jpg

My version

Just a little note, if anyone wants one of these, feel free to ask. Just provide me with an image of your choice and let me know what you want on the userbar, colours and text. I'm also putting them in my profile

ooo. very nice!

Did you see the poetry one?

Lana - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v624/Syrenna/Userbars/lanauserbar.jpg

w00t

I shall nab that one and stick it in my profile

thank you.. xx

twitta??

Twitterpated, as in head over heels in love. Enamoured, obsessed, blissful

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v624/Syrenna/Userbars/mooseuserbar.jpg

but not obsessed,

added it.. you will be swamped.. you shud have a user bar under your sig telling peeps you make thm.

I could do... if I can fit anything else under there.

I'll make a userbar stating that I make userbars

Would you mind making me one that says "Fanboy Slayer"?

Not at all. Anything in particular on it? Theme-wise, I mean.

i made one.. look in my profile.. its for myspace.

Wicked! Did you get the font then?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v624/Syrenna/Userbars/creatoruserbar.jpg

Latest one, which I'm using as my sig.

yuppa n thanx

No problem. Have you worked out how to make it look like the other ones?

Ok, I'll see what I can find.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v624/Syrenna/Userbars/cordyuserbar.jpg

It was difficult to use a sword in a way that kept it looking like a sword, if you know what I mean. So I used the image twice

The font looks kind of wrong... Might just be me though.. Other than that, they're fine and dandy.hmm

Mine: w00t

http://img343.imageshack.us/img343/3045/backgammoncopyhz0.jpg

The font's exactly as stated in the tutorial... do you use Visitor TT2 (BRK) on 13pt, no anti-alias and with a 1px black stroke?

Edit; I just noticed, the letters on mine are more spaced out hmm

Yeah... That's what I use. hmm

Well, blow me.

I do sometimes amend the size of the letters... actually. Anywhere between 10pt to 13pt. That might be why, because I'm making them smaller?

Possibly... I take it you're using photoshop?

Yep, I think that might be the reason, actually. The first couple I made I stuck directly to the instructions. But the text seemed too large, depending on the wording... so I changed some of them before adding the stroke

Supernatural one for Sarah;

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v624/Syrenna/Userbars/supernatural.jpg

This time I used a border.

I must demand that you, the lovely and sweet Syren, make me a userbar for being pierced & tatted or one for being #1 Dad. Think you can do it for little ol' me?

I can do both, if you don't mind waiting

Not at all. Thank you. hug

First one, for your tattoos. Using a crop of the image below

Hey do you think you could make me a few??

I want one of faries but have them be dark fairies, and one with super mom or something like that.

I'd like more but I dont want to ask for too many all at once. I know you're swamped with all these other requests so the others can wait

I've actually completed all requests so far, so I'd be happy to do the ones you asked for.

Dark Faeries - check.

Super Mom - check.

I'll get on with those and depending how long it takes me, be ready to let me know what else you want

Could you do a "sexy sig" lover?

sy.. mine suck.. so can you make me a stop the violence one..

Hmm, is there any way you could flip supergirl so I could see her face?

Well, I had to shrink it down as it is so you could see certain areas of her, I'll flip her round to see if that works better. Hang on.

Is this a little better? She was a difficult subject, both ends are attractive

Half of those are probably already on www.userbars.com you silly rabbit. I started making userbars for people who couldn't find the one they wanted on that site.

Have yourself a little browse and then let me know which ones you still need

Jedi, I'll make yours soon as I get the chance

I've already looked for those, hence me asking mhm

None of them are there? Fark, they seriously need to work on updates.

I'll submit mine to the site, I think. They need me eyes

Ok, I guess I have to respond to your desperate plea. Just give me 6 months

Last time I checked they didntsrug

So they'll be ready tomorrow? Good..leftright

I've submitted all of the ones I've made so far. Hopefully they're good enough to be accepted.
