The Sandman; and a few thoughts...

Well, I started this one last night and I only finished it this afternoon with a couple of breaks in between. This was without a doubt one of the most time consuming and tedious graphics that I've personally ever done. :lol:

Originally I wanted to do a much darker, a sort of smoky black banner with the Sandman. However I couldn't find too many good pics of a casually smoking Sandman from around the mid-nineties or so, apart from the one used in this graphic and it didn't quite look like what I was hoping for. So I ended up making it in this style, which is kind of similar to a style I've seen around a couple of times before and wanted to try it out myself to see if I can pull it off. However I was thinking of doing it with a blue Edge banner during his Smackdown title reign or maybe one of the Edge/Lita relationship, blah, blah, blah..............blah...........

...

Blah...

...

And with that in mind, I have brought out the dollar bills and blank cheques to help you guys rate and rate well. :grin:

On a side note...

...

I've noticed that the graphics folder hasn't been seeing as much activity lately. As I peruse the folder, I've noticed a few request are not being answered and hardly anybody (bar a few) are posting their handiwork. It would be great to see some of you guys display some more of your work again. I'm just saying, that's all. :)

What programs did you use? I use ImageReady to put in the animated gif.

Nice, didn't know you could use that program to insert animated gifs. Besides the color :lol:, Great work Outsider. The reason I stopped making sigs is because I don't have a PC :(

I'm not sure what the designated programs are like, but inserting the animated gif was definitely the long and tedious part of the graphic. The next time I consider inserting a gif, I might check out that program you mentioned.

It could be the same. With Photoshop/ImageReady, you make the sig and cut out the box for the gif, then move it over to ImageReady and insert the gif.

*Alternate colour banner added in the first post. I didn't realise how pink my previous one was. :-/

You sort of do same with Photoplus except you have to insert the gif frame by frame and try to line each one up to where you want it to be. Though the white border helped with setting up the alignment.

Oh yeah, ImageReady would be better. You select all the frames at once and move them over.

Very cool Outsider.

I've been kinda flaking out out doing anything lately. Though I did make one which I'll be posting in a couple days which I'll be using as my sig also.

I have a tendency of starting things and then taking a good break from it. Most likely because of personal reasons and I have yet to get as good as I want to.

Nevertheless, I did manage to do so things different then most of my previous work which you'll all see.
