L'Arc~en~Ciel [My New Signature]

Been so many months i can't even remember when the last time i did anything involving GFX. But I'm just now getting back into it, and this is something i whipped in just a few minutes.

L'Arc~en~Ciel

And a new avatar (which is what i'm using atm).

Quite a haunting distorted blur and motion effect, not bad at all Scott :thumbsup:

Cool
You used a similar effect in your last one. What did you use? How did you you do it?

I used Adobe ImageReady CS2 (7 & CS works just as good also).

Opened up the .PSD version of the sig, and opened up the Animation window (Filters>Animation, i think). Highlight the duplicated layer that has a lowered Opacity, and duplicated the frame in the Animation window, moved it around in one of the animation frames, and duplicated it again, with the layer moved in a different position. And then duplicated it with it in it's default position, and kept repeating that process, til i moved it again in another frame. and that's how i got that animated effect. Pretty simple and easy actually, though explaining it isn't that easy. :blush:

Hope that helps. And thanks for the compliment.

Yep, kept those techniques locked inside my brain, just incase for future use. But not too sure if I'm as good as i used to be. :blush:
