make Matty a sig What can i say? I felt left out. I have had alot of ideas for sig's lately, but i'm not very experienced with Photoshop, and my ideas always have this habit of turning out horribly mediocre. Now is your chance to shine, and enter my good books, I have had a recent fixation on the upcoming game, Far Cry, and i would like someone to make me a sig, but this will involve some slight animation effects. I would like this image placed onto a 500x100 sig, I would like a 'heat' animation effect, as if heat lines are coming from the ground. Something like the right side of this image, but moving I would like any fonts used to be quite small and subtle, nothing too flashy.

Looks tough, because animation really degrades the quality of an image because an animation file must be saved as .gif to do its animation. If I find the time I will see what I can do .
I'm curious to what could be created without animation, but i believe this can't be fully achieved with a static image.
You used to photoshop all the time. You PM'ed me some of your works, why'd you stop? Save it as a high quality .gif?
Well, I would give it a try, but it's kind of a low quality image. Kind of ruins it. I probably couldn't come up with anything close to good with all the really good signature makers here.
If the edges are rough/blurry do a blur overlay and a sharpen filter duplicate under it. It's not like the blurryness is unfixable/unusable.
It's not that low quality when you resize it down to fit the sig. Also that was kinda the effect i'd like achieved.
Lol, I love the fact that Matty is so awesome he can just post a thread with guidelines for his preferred sig and people will just make it for him
alright matty i did my best.. i couldnt impliment the heat waves too well so i tried something different.. i think the effects came out very well, and the text works well too. i can change it if you actually like it. oh and the size is actually 400x101 lol.. sorry i can redo it and make it wider as well if you like
Animated: Regular: it was meant to be an animated one (coming from me, of course), so the animated one looks better of course....for some reason it took me over an hour and a half (****in till i found the heat wave tutorial, and ****in when 5 different ones didnt work...tsk tsk) hope you like it!
meh.. im not really liking any of the entries so far.. i would say if sdrakulich took the brightest part of his animation and just used that picture it would be best il do an animation tomorrow
Meh, animation is something I have no clue how to do in GIMP, so I just modified the stock. ZOMG not centered
hmmm I could try but then again I could not I will see. well here it is (i can do it better but I only have like 5 minuets right now.
