In the meantime, a retro-style sig with a dash of sexiness

hang on a bit Athene ..... ain't that the photos I took of you the other night.... You said you wouldn't show them to anyone

Sig looks good, so I'll let you off

 

[Athene]

Lol! It's my way of encouraging you to post the snaps I took of you last night... You know, the ones of you in your hat and socks

 

[PooMan UK]

not the sock ones .... you promised :shock:

 

[A Guy]

The black socks one? That was Nick...oh my :shock:

A Guy

The wife asked me to get bored again ..... so I did

Gosh darn it! Just now saw the notification, guess my powers of observation are waning.

Thanks a bunch, both have been saved and will be implemented very soon!


Very, very nice!

Congrats to Yussi on the shiny new medal! I also think that you have a new Supporter badge?

Nice sig though.

Also, perhaps I could request one of Nick's famous orb sigs?

A new sig for Archie. Took me about half and hour to do as I'm still learning to make orbs properly. The thing I'm having trouble with is trying to make it look glassy (for example, like the ones in Nick's sigs). Any tips?

Anyway, here it is. Hope you like it.

Hmmm, it would seem that I have made a lot of promises at this early stage of our marriage Very well - I shall try to adhere to our wedding vows

Nope - I think he was a bit shy. Come on, Nick, reveal those sensational legs!

Hi Jaidyn,

I had the same issue when I was still an "orbling" (= learning how to make an orb ;-D ).
Archie helped me - have a look at his post over here; you can also download a PSD file which will show you what the layers look like, then you'll see how you need to proceed:

Looking at your orb in Archie's sig (very nice work, by the way), you'd just have to create a new layer, place an oval-shaped selection over the upper part of the orb, drag a gradient (white to transparent) over it, then give it a Gaussian Blur of about 2 px.

Made a few pictures of this procedure in Photoshop Elements. Tip: press the Shift button on your keyboard when using the gradient tool - this will make make the gradient perfectly straight.

Nice one Yussi.

Like your new lion king sig, Joey.

Thanks Yussi and Archie.

Thanks for that Athene. As always, this is a great mini-tut.

However, I've so far been able to make the orb using the gradients and ellipses. I have a 3 or so on my orb with the opacity lowered so it isn't too shocking bright. What I was really curious about was how to make an orb particularly glassy like the one in Dennis' sig (here).

Thank you all the same, I appreciate you help.

Thanks again Jaidyn
