Zurkeil Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) @drake heath: Don't be sad. It's not too late as long as you upped your pledge/donation by $8 (USD) more than your selected tier plus add-ons, before Sunday that is. @Hertzilla: I take "glomp" to mean a tackling, bear hug. As for how to pronounce the almighty Lord of Marshmallow(were)s, Kerfluffleupogus, I've been mentally saying it as ker-fluff-uhl-up-uh-gus.

Farudan Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Please welcome our new members: TensaiOni, Winged Hussar of the Obsidian Order drake heath, Lord Commissar of the Obsidian Order I just wanted to pop in and said hello to everyone. I added $8 to my pledge (via PayPal) just now, so hopefully it can get verified before the cutoff and all. It's an honour system. How may we call you? Please choose a unique title. Hope I get accepted...Sunday is approaching really fast. As Sugarjaye said: [...] the deadline doesn't count for them who have registered their claim before but have been forgotten.

Commdor Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I've submitted an additional $8 through PayPal (I originally pledged $50 via Kickstarter) to join. Glad I noticed the deadline extension, I thought I had missed out when the Kickstarter closed. So if that's sufficient for membership, I would like my title to be "Neuromancer of the Obsidian Order". Also, my thanks to other OO members and everyone else who donated to Project Eternity. The wait will be a long one, but worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syn2083 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Can I get everyones opinion, I took the shield template and did some tweaking, which one do you guys like more? 1. Has the border the same color as the PE logo, rusty color: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8184/8107228943_faa0611bd9.jpg 2. Has LC's original metallic style: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8330/8107238722_52f8834f12.jpg 3. For final total comparison, his original default: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8334/8107252344_7c8833f0c0.jpg any thoughts are appreciated 2 -Crash the silence for the sake of memory- Computer Problems or Questions?

RaccoonTOF Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 You might want to try doing a color/hue blend rather than a soft light? At least that appears to be the method you used...it seems to wash out the detail a bit. Then again, that might not be as obvious at the smaller size that would be seen in the forum. Assuming you can keep the border detail of the original, I like the coloration/highlights of the second one best "If we are alone in the universe, it sure seems like an awful waste of space" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaccoonTOF Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Ah yes...agreed at the 50% reduction there. But as Crash just pointed out, you might want to do the reduction on just the background prior to adding the text, to avoid losing the edge definition. The slight loss of detail on the scroll I think is actually a positive, but losing the clarity of the text detracts from the overall quality 1 "If we are alone in the universe, it sure seems like an awful waste of space" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veeno Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Speaking of nerds... anybody watching Big Bang Theory?
