It's an interesting idea.. pretty original, actually. I just don't think the white background is a good idea..unless it was suppose to be a gif. That would look pretty sweet, to have it as a gif so the forum is actually the "wall". Sweet brushing and the font is awesome.
yea, you should take off the drop shadows and make it a .png or somtehing
make some grungy type frames for em, frames made out of bones.... muahahaa...
damn nice idea, and nice images mate.... Its not a white background on mine, it actualy looks transparent, not sure why considering its a jpeg. not 100% certain about the shadow, i would have lowered the distance. but other than that i reckon its a brillant job mate.
actually, metal, he paintbucketed the bg with the color of the forum, i'm guessing by using the eyedropper. (you can tell if you view the jpeg on its own page) anyways, it's a nice method only problem is you can't use the sig anywhere else. but good concept, and i like the drop shadow. don't get rid of it.
Try making an outline for the whole image maybe? might give it more of the art wall kinda look. !? jus a thought
BGK, you know any other, better way to deal with this? transparancy issues got me worked up once before...Quote:

nice works, I sure like the grunge feel it has.
hmm nice dont it look like "gothic" style very nice :rolleyes:
nice idea about the background paint bucket,,,, i allways use that lol,,, i really hate it when a forum has two background colors,,, like one in each post you know,,, but this one isn't so thats good :P
yea i used the eye drop tool and paint bucket
haha yea i suppose it does look kinda 'gothic' but i was just going for a grunge feel
thanks for the comments guys
there are a few other ways to achieve transparency. the most obvious is saving as the .gif format, which should be used when you have defined edges. for instance, a gif would be fine for this one if it was just a series of squares, but the blurred edge of the shadow might make a gif look pixelated along the edges.Quote:

the other way i know of is saving as a .png file. not too familiar with this because i don't use it often myself. people use this a lot for the "popout" style sigs because edges don't become pixelated. the problem here, however, is that while firefox may show these images with perfect transparency, IE will show a colored box behind the image which ruins the whole effect. i'm still not sure why this occurs, but anyways, those are the two ways i know of other than the old eye dropper and paintbucket trick.
