Somebody tell ebbinger that his sigs are amazing or this whole forum will drown in his sigs

jk, i like your perfect circle sig ... for some reason, the colors seem to stand out.

But, I still like your Half-life2 sig more than any of the others. That one ROCKS! Do a tut on that ... especially about how you got the background and the 'lambda square' to blend in like that.

haha....lol...yes, i am sorry i love getting my sigs rated...cause then i know if i have to change them or not...or if they are good the way they are...

heres another sig



and i will work on a tut for the hl2 sig ... thanks all

yet another sig...this one i need some comments on though...i was contemplating starting another topic...but i opted not to...anyways...which one is better...green or blue ?





the sigs are for a friend...her sn is niko...meaning cat in japanese (or chinese or sumtin ) anyways...i wanted to get the word niko in japanese on there as well...but i couldnt find any programs or fotns or anything that could do that ? can someone point me in the right direction? possibley a japanese font pack? or a translator? or maybe just an image with the word niko in japanese

thanks!

Haha im you man ebbinger go to www.deviantart.com and in the search bar at the top right type japanese brush and you will find atleast three brush sets with japanese kanji unfortunately you will need Niko to tell you which one is for cat becuase they are just the kanji with no english translation, otherwise if that still doesnt help (assuming you have XP) get out your installation cd and install the east asian language packs on your computer one of which is japanses and you can use keyboard hotkeys to swap to them. The Perfect Circle sig is cool i would recommend a brightness and contrast layer on the background though just to get it brighter. Definitely change the font colour and choice for the omni-present sig and then i think you will have a decent sig. The green looks good for the Niko sig but i think you shud not go so low on the opacity of the name.
Good Luck.

Hmm... I don't think niko means cat. It should be neko instead (e, not i). If you want japanese fonts, you can do what Reaver said, just use the installation disk to get the font.
Here's the word "cat" in Kanji. I know it is correct because I am chinese .

I don't have any pretty fonts, just 2 standard ones. If you want, I can get better fonts and give you another image of the word.

thanks guys...umm...i am not 100% sure that niko (or neko) is cat in japanese...but yeah...lol...idk ... i was lookin for a translator so that i could find out...or a dictionary or sumtin...but i got stuck and couldnt find nuttin...anyways...i need the japanese word not chinese (i still might be wrong...but anyways lets pursume im not ) lol....o well...thanks for that image though...but i dont want to put it in there if it isnt right...and i want to make sure that its neko and not niko or w/e ...

anyways...i was messin around and came up with two more...(working on the text blending with the background - thats the point of the last couple sigs...)





thoughts please...thank you for all the comments and help and support so far

The Monika Sig is Awesome ebbinger just the text totally kills it the drop shadow effect works smoothly with the bg but i suggest maybe a totaly different shade of red or another colour altogether, the font type is ok i guess For the 1st sig maybe putting a layer mask on the render which will blend her in a bit more ( the left render that is ) Maybe try setting the text to softlight and duplicating it then working with the duplicate

The word I gave you was the kanji of the word "cat" in japanese. The japanese use a lot of kanji's in their language. Most of them are very similar to Chinese words, because they originally taken from Chinese. "Cat" is pronounced as "neko" in romaji, or ねこ in hiragana. Most dictionaries do not translate an English word to the pronounciation of a Japanese word (It's like an English translator wouldn't translate "dictionary" in another language as "dik sion neh ree"), and that's why you couldn't find if "neko" is correct. You can try finding the pronounciation of 猫 instead. (if you saw a messed up word in my last sentence, that means you don't have Japanese fonts installed)

thank you...no, you were right, you should be...i dont know any chinese japanese, or any of that stuff ... thanks though....and yes all of the fonts are installed... thank you again...

There all so good.well done maybe you should make a halo one
