  1. by starting with good quality pics to begin with....find good quality and high resolution (if possible) pics to use, and your sig will be much better.... anyhoo, here's a few someone can use if they want...
  2. it usually depends on which one i see first....GW i like both ways....same with most of the Ronin Warriors characters...Anubis and Talpa sound better in English, but i like the others better in Japanese.....SM i can't say b/c i haven't see the subbed....Eva has a good English dub....but if you want something funny, listen to the Spanish translation of Eva....Auska sounds like a 30 year old woman...*LOL*......
  3. Pirates are the smexy Now, I got nothing against ninjas. Nijas are totally cool. Awesome moves, the whole kick-every-ass-in-the-room-without-being-seen thing is really sweet. But pirates are better. Why, do you ask? Two very simple reasons: 1. Pirates get to blow big shit up. 2. Pirates get loot. Lots and lots of loot. Yeah, I wanna be a pirate. *nods* Anyways, Happy Birthday Lady!

    Harold goes boom

    my biggest problem in writing is putting what i'm thinking down in words....a lot of times i know what i want to happen.....but putting it in words that convey that thought is sometimes really hard....
  12. no....layer effects are stuff like Multipy and Screen......you can download filters and brushes, but i do just fine without them.....not to many people make filters and brushes for PSP, so i learned how to work around them.....
  13. hmmm....since everyone's talking about their sig-making process.....here's some of my favorites that i've done.... Supposed to be a yin/yang type effect....didn't quite work out that way.....about 9 layers.....some blurring and random effects... Ban-chan! About 8 layers, mostly to make the background....i made one for Ginji-kun and Dr. Jackel as well....same way....wanted a matching set..... my only .gif sig i've got. I'm rather proud of the colors, considering it's a gif file....(needed for the transparency effects).....that was basicly taking my two favorite pics of her and putting them together... About 12 layers, another part of a set....i prefer to make my own backgrounds rather than just find some random image online....i think it looks better.....it may take longer, but it gives me more of a sense of accomplishment.... This was only a few layers, but the challenge was putting both Marv and Goldie on there and keeping it balenced. I also wanted it to be reminiscent of the movie and comic style. I've always been rather proud of this one....it was hard getting the right balence, but the highlight on the flag was definatly a good choice. Not quite as good as my other banner from then, but it's worth sharing. Made after Enterprise hit the air. Didn't watch to much of it because shortly before the first season was over, my hours at work changed, but i love this sig. It's got every major vessal named Enterprise up to the one in the show in there. As well as the moon landing. I thought that was pretty important. There's probally at least 12 layers there, and it took me forever to get them arranged well! Made for .hack//sign. Was trying to combine the anime and television look with insanity (and static). This one took the most layers (almost 30 i think), and the most time. If anyone wants to download it to their own server and use it, you're welcome to! man, that was longer than i thought it would be........i have lots of other favorite sigs, but you'd never get to read anything else if i talked about all of them.....my biggest thing to use is layer effects.....i've used all of them at some point, it just all depends on what kind of 'feel' you're going for....my biggest concern in making sig images is making them balenced.....sure, you can stick a couple of images together and slap some text on it....but if you don't take time to pick a couple of images to go together well or pick something to balence them out, it doesn't look good.....
  14. i dotn' use photoshop.....i hate photoshop....i use Paint Shop Pro.....version 7.....i've discovered taht anything you can do in photoshop you can do in PSP....sometimes eaiser....
  15. ideas are always the worst part.....i just don't worry about.....when an idea strikes me, i work.....if i can't think of anything, i don't.....*shrutgs*......almost all my sigs are fairly old.....with the sig rotator, it pretty much covers all the stuff i like.....
  16. Most people don't know about Rich Burlew, but he's the artist behind Order of the Stick, one of my favorite webcomics. He also does a lot of D&D campaigns, and has written a few bits about his process. Now, I don't know a lot of people that will be creating RPG campagins, but these are pretty good for any writing genre. So, just for the heck of it, I thought I'd post the links here if ya'll want to take a look. What is Texture? Emotional Responses Villian Workshop
  17. i think it all depends on the story you're writing....yes, it helps to plan your character, but i don't like setting my character in stone early on.....i do things like name and physical attributes, and a minor history/personality, but i tend to write for characters that change during the story, so setting it all down so early tends to make me feel limited....
  18. i wanna kick some ass in the next one!....*pouts*.... *ROFLMAO!* i don't know why, but that just struck me as incredibly funny!....*giggles*....good job!.....
  19. it is hard to find good fanfiction.....i mean, a lot of fanfics seem to be written for the purpose of putting two characters together or the every preseant mary-sue.....it's getting hard to find fanfics that involve something unique.....even if it's an AU fic....if it doesn't have a plot beyond getting to people in bed, i don't see the point in writing it....
  20. Sakaki-san is the coolest!.....i just love her character......and Chiyo-chan is just to cute!.....
  21. it's the song that Rem sings in various parts....it was her favorite song, and Vash associates it with her.....i've got the MP3 somewhere.....used to be able to sing it by rote.....i think your pauses are in the wrong spot thought Lady........
  22. i've only been to one anime con, Jacon, and i got to meet George Lowe, the voice of Space Ghost....*G*.....i did see Bret Weaver, but i didn't get to talk to him.....
  23. actually, one girl did go as the manga version....with suspenders....and nothing under them....just some tape to hold them in place....they made her put a piece of cloth under them as well....it was pretty funny....and gutsy!.....i never would've had the courage to do that!.....
  24. well, technically cosplay is dressing up and acting out that character in a contest......that's where it came from......well, used to be that....i love doing that....i went as Chocolate Misu one year....*anime civ form, no way in hell was i doing the suspenders!*......it was so much fun....i bought so much anime stuff i have no need for and i don't regret it....i would suggest waiting until the last day to buy stuff....a lot of vendors will mark things down so they have less to take back with them....i got me a $60 Vash the Stampede bust for $20 that way!.........
