.....ever.

Right, found a link to WCF, sore they were making covers ans sigs and graphics, I got intrigued. First gfx ever made:

Untitled-1copy.jpg

First poster, pretty basic, not bad for first imo.

I then needed a sig:
RandySig.jpg

Its great how it still owns even now.

Moving on, I then moved to a forum called WZ, where I trained before going to WCF. I cant recall when I used each poster and what I earned from doing so, or what order for that matter. But here is a few previous posters:
RevolutionEntry.jpg

I dont want to talk about it, just Lol and move on.
BretHartGFX.jpg

Hate this so much, lol. Just showing it for refernce that I did used to suck.

I was proud of this at the time, looking back, I see the error of my ways.

I remember winning the world title with this, even though you can barely read any of it.

My first blue and white graphic, awwh bless.
KingOfTheRing.jpg

Won me the king of kings tounament. It aint that bad I suppose.
ssscopy.jpg

Didnt mind this at the time, won me something I seem to remember, oh yeah, the title after I got screwed out of it...:mad:

Last poster to enter in a battle on WZ, ended up losing to the Bukamann, but it was a good battle. That forum then died.



Most of these won me matches, I dont ever re-call losing on there apart from against Buka and niCk.

Sigs of that era (in order I dont think):
EdgeSig.jpg

I then moved to WCF to pick up my game, as you could tell I was progressing by my sigs, and then eventually came here because WCF was going through an iffy period. My recent graphics:

With the DVD covers I make a document of 1200x800 pixels. I then use a template which can be found on psdprotocol. hen its just down to designing it yourself, by getting inspirtation from the theme of the event / other covers that inspire you.

I lost all of my south park sigs becuase I never saved them as PSD's and I delete all my JPEG's.

There was like 4 different ManBearPig sigs, and 3 other south park ones.

I love that text, with the grey stroke and inner shadow, you use it a lot but it doesn't seem to get old. You definitely improved, the last covers look great. I think your text on the back is pretty bad though, the fonts don't fit and the text is too big. I love the official look of the Rumble cover, but the sizing and positioning of the wrestlers in the back is off. Only problem I can see in the Armageddon cover is the thick black outer glows. I quite like that text on the Booker T graphic, simple but very effective. Good stuff, I like I like.

In my opinion that was the best one, great background and the style was.. as always.. amazing. I'm talking about the poster that said "Most Important Moments" it was fantastic, the rko and stunner on the bottom was great and so were the three PSD's, the pictures of Andre/Hogan, Rock and all others were put together well in the background, looked very real. And that was your best in this showcase. How do you make that stuff?? Can you post a tutorial on your posters or something? And as always.. Keep up the good work!

There are some Amazing one's over there and some okay ones, the custom Survivor Series one was good as well.

Ill post a tutorial on how to do some basic things if you want, like the BG to that surivior series, the basic layout of that Most important one and stuff.

Just post in here what you want done and I'll do it regarding I have time, Liam keeps trying to make me have a social life and go out and get pissed instead of sitting on the pc.

What a loser, he is a disgrace to all IW mods.
