By the end of today I'll have one totally copied off thals, (plagiarism ftw), so keep the polls open!

damn you thal and your mastery over photoshop. LOL i was just learning and you had to come blow me out of the water =) Great fricken logos man i am truley jealous of your skill. and how the hell did you get that image of turus in there.

[Grimblast]

I think he used wow model viewer. It's very nifty. I used it with my vegas pro software to make some trial videos like some of the other machinima you see out there and it allows you to do posing and what not.

Yeah, scratch that, I know how to do it with WoW Model Viewer, just I don't have photoshop But if anyone wants to do another logo, I was thinking along the same lines as thal but put our "core" in the picture: HG, Turus, Thal, and two other main people, like, the founders. But just an idea.

Surprisingly, I don't use Photoshop. I use GiMP for image manipulation and Inkscape for vector graphics. I suck at drawing, but the thing I've generally done better with is designing logos for my own personal use (DESTRealm comes to mind).

Turus is right on the money. It's the lazy man's way of taking screenshots. You can import a person's armory profile and get all of their equipment. Unfortunately, you have to remember what their face looked like in order to be able to mimic their look exactly.

Trust me, get GiMP. The UI is a big cumbersome if you're used to Photoshop, but it's open source and has nearly every bit of power that Photoshop does. The Windows version is here. There's also a few resources you can grab here.

I originally started with Picture Publisher 5 (and later 7), but both lacked the notion of layers. They had something similar to layers, but the capabilities of that feature was grossly limited. I started using GiMP around about 2001-2002, IIRC. Trust me, the newer builds of GiMP are vastly easier to use than their older counterparts.

But if anyone wants to do another logo, I was thinking along the same lines as thal but put our "core" in the picture: HG, Turus, Thal, and two other main people, like, the founders. But just an idea.

That's no too bad an idea at all. My reasoning for the elves was due in no small part to my somewhat dark humor.

Thanks, I'll get gimp and do some work on the logo today, I tried it on my mac (I'm posting from right now), and it epically failed, literally. But I'll see if I can get it to load on my Vista.

GiMP was designed to work with GTK+ (under X11 of course), so it should work in Mac OS X with a GTK port--probably one packaged in. There are some OS X specific downloads. I don't know how well they work, though. Apple is, in my mind, worse at vendor lock-in than even Microsoft.

Side edit: We do have a professional graphic designer in-guild, although I think the individual I have in mind would rather remain anonymous.

Ok ok fine, it's true... I photoshop Jennifer Love Hewitt's head onto porn stars for money.

[Zancarius]

I'd believe it.

[Tarlas]

Yeah, it told me to download Xquartz, and btw, you know a damn lot thal =D
