Nice tutorial, I think you should add these couple of tips that you can find on the page that appears when your search doesn't yield any results: Use “*” if you're unsure about part of what you're searching for, such as a suffix (i.e., “hovercraft*” will show any game that begins with “hovercraft,” even if it ends with something really weird, like a “y”). Make sure your search isn't overly strict. For example, multiple words in quotes will only show results with that exact phrase. Using AND between terms will require potential results to include both terms, and “-” will exclude anything immediately after the minus sign.

I'm really sorry to hear that, and I know how you feel... something similar is happening to me. I think I'll have to uninstall GIMP, since my old computer needs more space... Anyway, I'm kinda demotivated, so it's not the same problem that you are having. Regardless, it's never late to start again ;) There are a lot of free programs that you can download, and tools that you can use without downloading. Hope to see you around soon!

Well, as rawismojo said, you need to sign-up before creating a group thread. There are lots of open slots, so you shouldn't have problems with that :) I can even reserve you a slot if you need more time to think about how the group is going to be. Regardless, I'm locking this thread- a group that haven't signed up yet, that needs a lot more of organization, where the members already stole a piece and there are a lot of Off-topic posts isn't having a great start. If you'd like to have a thread, please sign-up properly, try to elaborate the group's purpose better, and never steal art. Remember that the Art Forums are a place to show your *own pieces* to the rest of the Kongregate community. Please, understand :) *locks*.

bq. Edit: Damn, lightsun, stop being such a ninja. lololol, u type 2 slow 4 me. bq. Thanks for all that. All taken aboard and although I tend to stray away from using tutorials maybe I should try a few. I’ll try to blend more and all that stuff, look into colour theory and I actually have those brushes. At least it wasn’t a response from a total troll and was someone who can actually help. Thanks for all the info. And I never feel discouraged, if anything I feel more encouraged to get better. I have some optimistic disease. =) Yeah, using programs such as GIMP, Photoshop, Paint.net, etc can be really hard if you atleast don't read a tutorial for learning what each tool is for. Personally, I use GIMP, and without tutorials it'd be impossible to guess how to create some effects. You'll need a lot of patience, but it is really funny :) And as you never feel discouraged, it is going to be _much_ easier than for some of us (including me). <blockquote><cite>Originally posted by <a href='/forums/5/topics/62756?page=1#posts-1415820'>Khnum666</a>:</cite> Thanks for all the info, got a lot of reading and practice to do.

Well, I have a couple of suggestions- even though I suck at signature making. First, signature size is a very important point in my opinion, so, 370 X 120 or something like that would be fine. Then, I really recommend you not to create boring backgrounds like those- even if the colour matches the render, it doesn't look ok and it gets really hard to add depth and flow to your signatures. Both of your signatures have big texts that take all the attention away from the focal, I suggest you avoiding text until you learn the basics of signature making. I'm *not* going to say that texts ruin signatures, because personally I love them, but I admit that it is really hard to place them without ruining your flow or focal point. One very important advice would be: it looks as you copied and pasted the render into a background, that is a big no-no on signature making. You must blend the render into the background, add efects, and create a focal point. So! To summarize; read about the focal point, the rule of thirds, look for some tutorials, (I suggest you getting confident on the usage of the tools of your program), read about the colour theory and get some resources such as C4D's, brushes (maybe), etc. Your signatures aren't terrible, but you can improve a lot ;) Good luck, and if you need help just tell me!

You are getting better, man! That's why I suggest you creating a gallery thread (if you are willing to update it periodically, of course). It's a great way of keeping a track of your progress, getting feedback from the rest of the Art Forums users and of sharing your artworks with us :D So, if you decide to do so, one more tip :P Add the [gallery] tag on the title, like this: [gallery] mah gallery! ;) Good luck! And keep up the good job. *EDIT*: ninja'd... Hey, ForeverLoading, I didn't give him any productive feedback to the moment because he doesn't even know how to use Paint tools, so I think it'd be kinda pointless.

Paint is one of the most basic programs, and I'm pretty sure you have it on your computer. There are tons of "things" you can get for making "art things". One of them, and the one I suggest you is buying Photoshop (or downloading GIMP, which is similar but free), Flash, and then starting reading tutorials. You can also use "Aviary":http://www.kongregate.com/collabs , another free tool you'll find on Kongregate. Those are the programs I suggest you, since you are probably starting. And that's pretty all what I can recommend you to try since now I must go, I'm in a hurry. Good luck! I'm sure the others will correct me/add programs and options/etc. Paint is one of the most basic programs, and I’m pretty sure you have it on your computer.

I agree with you, but I don't think that making a new forum for an event that is going to take only a month is going to happen. I could be wrong. Remember that always a new big feature as this one appears, a lot of users who don't read the proper stickies, instructions, etc, or are just disoriented ask on the forums without even checking. I don't think it's a new problem. You are probably right, a new forum would be sweet- we could even RP in there, create forum games and give a meaning to this sort of competition, but as I previously stated, I don't think that's likely to happen. bq. 1. End the promotion. No, Kongregate is serious busisness sir, and this is a good way of getting more trafic to the site, and therefore better incomes. Plus, I think Left 4 Dead sponsored the event, so it isn't easy as that. bq. 2. Let the spam continue.
