veteranskinsfan Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I like them. Can we use them? Fletch is a beast. Played a great game on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketCitySkins Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I like the way you positioned the pictures. And I like your background. But.... here comes the but...... you need to work on cutting the renders. Really ragged on the middle pic and the one on the right. If you fix that, you'll have a really good sig. Just pm me if you need help with the best way to cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIXX99 Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 The middle picture wasn't actually cut it was removed and then painted around, then placed back. But it does look really choppy, so does the one to the left. How do you cut your stuff by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocketCitySkins Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I was going to pm this but posting here might help someone else, too. I always open the picture that I want to remove the background in a separate file and then when I'm happy with it I copy it over to the sig file. Hit + a couple of times to make your picture larger. It really helps in cutting a good looking cut. You will see on the edges where the pixels start to feather out. Click the pen tool right where the render starts to look solid again. Select the Pen Tool Start making dots around the player. I click right on the edge of the player. This takes some practice. Be very deliberate with each click. I was forever thinking I had clicked just right and then half the picture would disappear. When you've connected the dots all the way around, Layers/Transparency/Add Alpha Channel Select/From Path - you should see the marching ants. You can do the Feather step or leave it out. I think it helps with the blending. Select/Feather Set it on 5 Select/Invert Edit/Cut Select/None Now you're ready to copy it to your sig. Edit/Copy On Sig Edit/Paste Makes a floating layer Layer/New Layer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocketCitySkins Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Wow, thanks for that. I will definatley use this. This is the same pm I sent to WRUS2B when he was starting out. No sure if he has graduated to a more difficult style of cutting or if he is still using this, but if you look at his sigs, he makes great cuts now.

rd421 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Sixx did you use filters on the middle and right pic? They look distorted to me? Also the middle pic looks out of proportion like it is wider than it should be for the length. Still the cuts are not so hot. That being said I do see some better stuff from you looks like you are expiramenting with some new tecniques that are going to be nice when you get them down... this background is better than some of your others so i would say that you are def progressing GOOD STUFF BRO KEEP IT UP!!!

Thank you, always nice to get kind words. The original picture from the middle Fletch looks a little scrunched up to begin with and being scaled down to fit the sig didn't help that. And I did use a sharpen filter on the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saying I would love to see what comes of this... this n00b is in no place to compete with you 2 come on the only way people get better is with some friendly Competition. Me and Left used to have some comps, it brings out the best in you. A quick comp won't kill anyone.... How about making a flethcer sig and posting it in this thread, and having that guy pick which sig he'd like to rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIXX99 Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 Oh crap. I have only made like 3 sigs lol. I've got nothing on any of you. I would just get embarrased. But if anybody else wants to make some Fletch sigs go ahead and post them here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if anybody else wants to make some Fletch sigs go ahead and post them here. Come on SIXX, it is just for fun. And look, it is up to FletchLives to pick the sig he wants to rock. It will be fun. Just like the other sig comps we have had except the final ruling will be from FletchLives and not voted on by other members. Me and SOUP used to do this all the time when I first started making sigs. Either Soup or I would get a request and we would PM the other and turn it into a battle. You can learn a lot from doing this. Getting into battles really brings out your skills. It allows you to learn new techniques. Come on guys, some take the challenge. Just take a look at FletchLives sig he is rocking now. That was one of my first sigs I made on here. I'm telling you, once I started battling with SOUP I had to step my game up and learned all kinds of new techniques and skills. You guys can do the same thing. But, it is up to you.
