Adding my own.

I had the same problem with my images becoming blurry. For some reason the quality is not kept when saving it as a jpeg. So I save them as png's. Also, photobucket scales down the quality as well. I am using imgur to host my images.

Here is an Awesome from our C4 Unit with a Hellfire Lance paint scheme.

anything that can help would be appreciated. Am annoyed with a lot of things I am not "getting" using GIMP.... not the least being the blurriness.

I have to do a lot of cleaning and merging when I do the Mech Mashups.

It's not as hard as you might think, especially for someone with the drawing experience you have.

I hate to say that but Photoshop MIGHT be a better tool for things like that, just because of the incredible easy interface.

Well, there are certain "Offers" and sites that give you special "Deals" on these programs...

99% of all the Adobe Programs in use are not bought.

And I am not rich too, hell, who would spend several thousand dollars on a program.
You could get a few golden MadCats with that amount of money!

Griffin Fun Ahead!

Template available here. Thanks to Zeratul for an excellent cutout job.

Oh and this time around, I included a layer that gives away one of my trade secrets: a Highlight layer. It increases the 3D effect by providing more lighting vs shade contrast, hence giving more depth to Alex's beautiful design, especially with darker colors. You can play with layer transparency to increase or decrease the effect.

Enjoy and have fun.

Cheers!

EDIT: File update containing minor improvements and correcting the mask layer opacity (back at 100%).

This is why I can claim to have a man-crush

Let's settle for 'Mech-crush, yes? ;-)

You mean a "Mech-man-crush", duh.

can someone do me a matt black Raven 3L with Twin ER Large lasers (like, obvious LARGE lasers) and some obvious ECM system with a red lit cockpit AND... the words "The Ebon Crow" (probably in white with a grey smeared background) with a Black crow (silhouette) sitting on the words some place?

Am I being cheeky asking this much?

Well, you are asking for the epitome of hate. No other 'Mech has been hated in MWO more than RVN-3L. poptarts are lil' boys comparing to the .... ... ... ...raven in the times of SSRM kingdom.

It suits how I play, I'm making more money and more XP in it than any other unit I've tried and I really like it. I don't really care about who hates it and who doesn't.

I can do this.

You are a girl and you play MWO, so.. no, you are not being cheeky.
