Gif sigs
 

Soo I had posted this on another forum already, but I haven't got much feedback there so I thought I'd try it here instead. :33 I usually make a matching avatar with it.

This is the first time making a gif sig (thanks to Nav), and I still haven't worked out a way to get rid of the grainy quality caused by the saving the thing in gif. D: But yeah, trying to go for a more simple look here as I tend to suck at making those complicated/pro looking sigs. xDD

Anyway, that dude is a member of some Korean band (Super Junior.. my latest crazeee) and I'm planning to make some more of the other members later. :3

I really really like it :3

It would be better if it was Byakuya though http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k9...6/Ridicule.gif

You can always make your own one! :3 I mean, you have a gif and a sig! And it'll be cool cos you get to use a moving avatar with your moving sig. I couldn't use a gif for my avatar because I can't reduce the file size without wrecking the quality. I tried and it didn't work. Dx

What programs did you use? o.o

Mainly photoshop and image ready when putting the image and gif together.

hrmm I have the same problem with grainyness in Gifs. im not sure why it does it but imageready always seems to spit them out that way...well small images at least i dont have a problem with larger ones though. But nice sig dude =) you've inspired me to try it pretty soon.:D

I have to agree. Although, that sig rocks bigtime! I like it!

GIFs = TIFFs. The apparent grainyness that occurs when saving a sig in both formats is probably unavoidable.

Hey Blah! It's been awhile. It looks really nice you know. Now, I don't have anymore time to make sigs. Ugh, school. T_T

I like the corners with those shapes fading as they go further. The text and the render you used for the sig and avatar suit it very well. And the gif part is really nice also. I couldn't see the grainy stuff. Really nice you know!

I need to take up classes on these. Too bad my school took out the computer club. T_T

Yeah, Nav rocks! :D

it looks cool :o Before reading the post I was like 'I'm sure she might not know him but the gif looks like something a gf would make of their bf' or something like that D:

I like it. The border is cool, and the animation is nice. Who is he, though? o_o

Thanks for the lovely comments. :33

@Dax: Yeah, I wouldn't have time later on too since I'm going to start uni soon. D: But don't worry, your next holidays should arrive soon enough. =)

@Synelia: Haha!~ even if I had a boyfriend, I don't think I'll make a sig of him, lol! I feel weird making avatars/sigs of someone I know, unless they're like super cute or something, lol! xDD

@Cold: He's a member of a Korean band called Super Junior. =)

Bump~

Made another set! As you can see I've changed to the new one. I just realised it matches this forum because it's so greeeeeeeeeeeeeen.

Which sig looks better?

This one fades when it finishes.

This one finishes with a flash.

Lol so many Hankyungs. ;3

I like the newer one much better =3

Yeah. Looks like the one with fading effect is better. And maybe you could try to make the circles a bit more smooth. It looks so rough, anyways, this ones really nice. I might try to make sigs like these someday. I just need to get a free program that doesn't run on trials. >.<

9/10 for the ava.
10/10 for the sig!

Keep it coming Blah! I like those shapes! :D

Hehe thanks!

@Dax: Ohh what do you mean by rough? Is it the stroke outline that looks rough?

I think he means the anti-aliasing. Need to keep them jagged edges down.

Oh..
..
How do I do that? LOL D: What's anti-aliasing?

my imageready doesn't ever want to let me edit animated files T_____________T

I think i like the one with flash. These ones look really nice. but question where are u gettin all the gifs from? or are you doin them yourself?...i dont think its a jagged edge on the circle its the inside stroke that gives it the rough look =/

I made the gifs myself from korean shows I've been watching. xD Hm inside stroke? They're not textured, I just filled them with a colour so it should be smooth... unless it's the gif quality making it look rough, but I don't see it on my screen here. D:

the circle around his face looks like it has a small light green stroke around thats what gives it the rough appearance to me or it may just be from the gif :D...it looks awesome though i like your sigs alot because of the shapes xD nice brushes or are they not brushes?;)

Ohh yeah I think it's the stroke outline then. ^^ Nah they're not brushes, I used the circle tool to make random shapes, although I did get that idea off some brushes I've seen. xD

how did you open the files?
what version of imageready are you using?
what tipe of files did you use to make the gif? (avi, mpeg, etc)

I'm really interested, I can't get mine to work anymore :(

Haha I forwarded a pm to you. I'm using the ImageReady that came with Photoshop CS2. And I've been working with avi files. :3

Meh, Who needs Flashy signatures?! Not me! Alls i need is
[Insert Signature Here] And im done! Flashy is so yesterday!
(Is Acctually Jealous of Moving Signatures and Avatars T_T)
