How do you make stamps? Is there like a stamp creator?

@SnowflakeStar: You're going to have to resize your bigger image on an editing website. Go to the Image Manipulation site for a list of those.

For gallivant:

Code: Select all

hi all ;w; im looking for some coding help for a character form, i hope it's okay to post here since it's still coding?
anyways, i'm trying to make it so the 'right' text does the same thing as the 'left' text is doing in accordance with the speech bubble, but i'm having a lot of trouble Dx
this is what it looks like right now;

'my name's pompeii! daddy thought i looked a bit like a lava lamp or a volcano,
and mummy's always wanted to go and look at the awesomely preserved
jewellery there for inspiration. i love my name because it's got meaning
behind it.. and it's a cool song too!'

'my name's pompeii! daddy thought i looked a bit like a lava lamp or a volcano,

and here's the coding;

thanks for any help <33

also, does anyone know what website you can use so that the image changes from a set selection of uploaded ones each time the page is refreshed? i'd love to have that in my signature and have found a website before but then lost it cx

[Falls]

i have been trying to find a good text color pallet for the gif in my signature. thank you if you can help. :^)

This is considered spam

Please do not ask for opinions/advice (unless help is needed with coding) on signatures
Danke

Aaaaactually, this a question that warrants a legitimate non-spam answer.

Tetsurou, you can find out the exact color palette of an image by using the resources in the beginning of the Text Manipulation post.

Thanks for the help, but a lot of you are really jumping the gun with your warnings, or just being plain grouchy.
Calm down, spam Nazis.

Do you guys know anybody that's good at making signatures, and makes them for free? Free is preferable, but if you know anyone that does it I'd appreictae if you let me know.

Now this one really is spam. Warning #1. Please review the rules on the front page.
Sig shops that work for a price or for free can be found in the art shop forum.

I've been told that my sig is a little plain is there any techniques I should use on it?

This is also spam. Warning #1. The best way to learn new techniques is to look at other signatures and copy their techniques. Now, a good non-spam question would be "how do you do [insert sig technique here]?" Unless that question is already on the front page. Always check the front page.

How do you make stamps? Is there like a stamp creator?

I do not know of any specific stamp creator. There are stamp shapes on the last post of the front page. Overlay your image onto the shape of your choice.

also, does anyone know what website you can use so that the image changes from a set selection of uploaded ones each time the page is refreshed? i'd love to have that in my signature and have found a website before but then lost it

Google "Grumpy Sig Bumpers or click its link listed in the Image Manipulation post.

Here's your fixed code:

*Cough*

AAANYWAY, back to coding now.:
I have a question- how do you weave a bar/border through an image? I know there is a tutorial on weaving, by I don't think it really answers my question. Here's what I mean:



When Levi Ackerman did this with Roxy, how did he get the finger and the scarf over the bar/border on one part yet behind it on another part (of the image)?

I had the Roxy Image on one layer and the lines on another. All I did was erase the lines where the hood of Roxy's image would go over.
As shown below. I did a silhouette of Roxy here so you can see it better.

This is the easiest way f doing it. If you have your image flattened to one layer, you are out of luck unless you know how to Photoshop the image parts you covered over while editing.

Speakin of Photoshopping, that image you quoted there was a lot of Photoshopping to do, because it was flat. It took me hours to recolour and renew the hood and fingers because they were previously unavailable at the time and I could not find a source of the original image, therefore it took a lot longer to photoshop the fingers and scarf back into the image once again.

[Falls]

Really? How strange. I found the image via Google Search by image in 3 seconds flat...

Really?
>.<
Could be because of Auzzie Google search engine being different to the one you are using?
I couldn't find it anywhere, even when I did the image drop into google, it came up with links to the Fandom blogs associated with Roxy an colour palettes based off the image (The purple, pink and blue)

Thank you Of The Falls! <3

Thank you so much! <3 You're a life saver, or code saver, for that matter.

@snowflakestar

Is it the way I put them? If so i will do it for you xxx

Yep, it is, but when I tried to do it in my signature, it turns out sloppy. I guess the coding style is different among forum posts and signatures.

So, you know, I was hanging out on my bed with my closet open when I remembered something important: Valentine's Day is coming up. Ugh. Let me just say I'm not a pink dog. Or a romantic, flirty dog. Sooooo I did what was best for me: Throw on any blue Valentine's related items and there we go: A Heartbroken Version of a Valentine's princess.

Turns out to be like that.
