@ NanaDmari - When you use your DA account, how do you get an image preview to work in the BBcode in this forum? I tried to do this before, but I couldn't figure out the right code to get an image preview, so now I just use Imageshack. If you have the answer, mabye you could PM me? Thanks.

@ Coffee - Wow, that example makes so much sense, I never thought of using an image preview from somewhere else and then having the link to the MH or a DA gallery. I guess we can still use a .png after all. Yay!

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2010

as I said, I wasn't sure... but I looked in the dictionary... it's really レクイエム

I just go straight to writing the code...
but I think coffee showed how to do it.. just get the html from the image and paste it in the right places XD

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2010

Thanks for the help guys, I had a moment of enlightenment. Then I remembered my main problem with DA, was how to get a thumbnail for larger images in MH forums. That's why I couldn't get the right URL for the image preview. Oh well, at least I can now put my sigs there, and have .png previews now.

hmm, I don't like the text... You may want to use the burn tool for the sides...
Kakashi, you are progressing real fast. Omedetou!

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2010

@Kakashi - I like the text~

Anyways, Ive got another question for Gecko and/or nana = Do I continue to use katakana for ~No Tameni~ or use hiragana for it. I think hiragana, but Im not 100% sure, so I figured I'd ask~

Spoiler

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2010

one likes the text and one doesn't
I kinda like the text too though...And I'm gonna make the sig a little smaller.

I really don't know which direction to go with this government sig
I will try another corruption type sig and see how that one goes too.

@Coffee - I think 'Tameni' supposed to be in katakana. Not 100% sure though.

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2010

I was under the impression that Katakana was meant for foreign words but I havent really studied into it or anything, I just pick up on stuff from here and there... hence the reason I asked...

Anyways, I wasn't sure about the government theme either, I figured I would probably have to explain the idea as well, but people seem to get it more that I planned, so thats good.

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2010

yes, katakana is meant for foreign words... you should use "no tameni" in hiragana... you could also write it with tame's kanji + ni XD
but go with the hiragana...

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2010

Alright, Thank you nana~

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2010

n_n

if I can answer the question, I'll be glad to help...

 

[kakashi919]

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2010

I think I'm gonna submit this sig if it's theme appropriate.

It's the only one I like a little bit out of the few I tried

 

[~Coffee~]

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2010

sorta hard to see him, but thats good for a dark sig I guess, and look at the bottom right of the render~

---

I was about to turn in my sig, and I noticed that the Text placement seemed very unbalanced to me so I was wondering @ Gecko and/or nana, if its fine for me to Stack "Zero" above "Requiem" and "No" above "Tameni"??

 

[nanaDmari]

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2010

Well, it's not a formal text nor anything... let's say you have some kind of art purpose, so you have freedom to play with the position of the text...
I don't see why you couldn't do it...

---

I think your sig is appropriate, kakashi...
but I have to make a comment... the font you used for "El rey de hueco mundo"... It's been used in almost every poster of events or music shows with "sertanejo universitário" (it's some kind of country music they invented here, and that I really don't like) here in my city... so that was the first thing I thought of...
I'm sorry, I had to say that...
It's just that, so you don't need to change it XD

 

[kakashi919]

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2010

I don't think I'll submit anything for the government sig... I just can't seem to get something I actually want to submit.

Good Luck to all of you though!

 

[~Coffee~]

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2010

It is a tough one, I agree. I just lucked out and scored after 2 other tries~

 

[nanaDmari]

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2010

kakashi... it's not because of what I said, is it? Ç_Ç

it's a difficult theme... one day I got an enlightment and remembered elaine's poster (my submission)...
and I love Monkey Island series... so I really had to do it XD

 

[kakashi919]

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2010

no no no lol. it was an edit so i didn't see your comment

As for the text... It was a font i got yesterday and thought it looked cool

It's the theme that's difficult as you said, I just haven't made a good enough sig yet.

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2010

Hey everyone.

I like the look of all the submissions so far this week. I just finished submitting my one as well. I hope you all like it as much as I do. I had a lot of fun making this one.
