Hey everyone, here's a sig I made after I downloaded a CE Halo 3 map. I saw the laser, and thought it looked pretty awesome, so I took a screenshot of it and made this. (I made most of it myself, like the background and the laser.) Any comments/criticism appreciated :D

EDIT: I've got an avatar to match the sig now, tell me what you think of it! :wink:

Looks alright but it's over the 75kb limit, please shrink the filesize or it will be removed.

It's pretty good. Would be a lot better with a better display. From what I can tell, the HUD you've presented thus far is showing the gun's specs. But from what I can tell, there's only one display actually attached to the gun, and there's no text. The graphs look nice, and the text is ok. I just recommend using a different display for the gun specs.

Hey again, thanks for your compliments! I've made a version I'll be uploading soon, not much different apart from the size and some text.

Good text size choice, but not a good font. When making this sort of image, it's not actually required to use actual information, or even a readable font. Most people use symbols or lines made to look like symbols.

I understand what you mean, SHOUTrvb, however I thought it'd be cool if someone who decided to read the text could. Although I could make a V3...

Yeah, that's reasonable. It's actually a pretty nice sig.

Your sig for some reason reminds of X-Men, I dont know why but it does, but it is a pretty decent sig, just wondering how long did this sig take you to make?

You know I think that could be the reason

Lol i don't want my name to sound like xmen :? Anyway the sig didn't take to long, I'd made the background earlier. Including the time it took to make the background, it took around 1 hr 30 min. Oh yea and just to inform you I'm making an avatar to match the sig :D

The avatar actually looks really good. But the text on the left doesn't need to be blurred.

It's ok. At least you didn't totally overdue tech brushes like a lot of people do.
