So today’s class was in a different room and we were using pc’s instead of macs. We grabbed two images off of the ftp server, one was a little girl with a flower hat, the other was a window frame with broken panes. I definately learned alot, especially about the magic wand and lasso tools. Which also work the same in GIMP. Shift to add selections, alt to subtract. I also learned the purpose of “paste into” I’ve always wondered what it did. Now I know. I’ve gotta decide which class to take next and when. There’s no set schedule to follow.

I’m currently working on a sig for Brenu Littlebone.. A Gnomish Necromancer & Alchemist. He wants something black and purple with no white, pink or yellow. I’m cutting out two of the 6 pictures he sent me, the first is his character looking sneaky and evil.. the second he looks a little confused and his eyes are peaking over his glasses. I might be lazy on the second one since I think I only want to use his face. In both he’s wearing a purple & grey robe. I haven’t worked out a “look” for the background yet. Feel free to make suggestions

The next sig in line after Brenu has me a bit worried. Vercas has a whole lot of text he wants added, faded into the background. Along with his name, class, guild and server he wants the following quote in Japanese and French. Forgive any mistakes, I don’t know either language
“hana wa sakura gi, hito wa bushi”

“parmi, toutes les fleurs, le fleur de cerisier, parmi tous les hommes, le guerrier”

That’s alot for a little 400 by 100 frame. I don’t really like doing gif’s since it kills the rest of the colors. But I may have to for this one. The only other option would be to make two sigs, one with the french and one with the japanese and set up a rotation script like my sig. So the only thing that would change would be the quote. I would prefer that to doing a gif. But how would I explain to Vercas that if he wanted to host it himself he would have to grab both pictures and the script file? He doesn’t speak much english. I had a hard time figuring out that he was requesting

*sigh* I’ll just think about Brenu’s background for now.
