Well I don't exactly know why I decided to make some of these userbars, but they're pretty damn fun to make and rather quick as well. Here's the first few I've made, I'm having a bad night so expect a few more within the next couple of hours...

First one I made, Not that good but I wasn't planning on using it anyway.



Second one I made, go figure Vert/Cadre would'a gone for Nod?



Third one I made, thought it would be only suiting to do something for GDI. Had to actually do this one twice, misspelled Sympathizer on the first try.



Fourth, and in my opinion the best. Not sure why I made it though, I don't like playing as the Ork's and I absolutely despise playing against them.



More to come, I hope...

okay, I'm just going to say I don't like user bars because they force you to read obnoxious information that the recieving member may not have wanted to know at all.

I see, well I only make userbars dedicated to certain factions in video games. Because there is a massive shortage of userbars that show specific dedication to a certain aspect of gaming, only gaming in it's entirety. So you won't have to worry about anyone using my userbars to show how much they like to watch the Ya-Ya Sisterhood while eating Dove Chocolate while rubbing their toes with Penzoil 10 W 40. Just how much they like to shoot up one group of guys as another group of guys, man stuff...

no offense guys but i think i have to agree with Confactor here tongue.gif

but if i must comment i shall say that the GDI Sympathizer one is pretty funny. i also think though that you could have made it so that it shows the entire side symbol b/c like with the Nod one i only see a litttle bit of the scorpian tail. other than that good job though.

but yeah i really dont like userbars in the long run......

Kinda, they're like tiny images that are dedicated to a single subject that one can place in their sigs to show that they are particularly dedicated to that thing. Say your favorite band is Crossfade, and you want to tell the world that you absolutely love them. So you take a userbar that says Crossfade Addict and you put it in your sig, that way you can say you love Crossfade without actually saying it.

I don't know why these two hate them, I don't want to know why they hate them. The way I see it it is a way to express yourself without becoming a nuisance. Unlike some people with their 200 pixel high animated sigs that turn a 10 post thread into a mile long image gallery...

Okay, As a Graphics Artist, these are sh*t. First off is the Text. Userbars have a set text standard (You need to use Visitor BRK font).Also, you can only see a small part of the Nod Logo, and other than the smack down bar, your light reflection goes WAY to far down (it only needs to be about halfway), and your "scanlines" aren't the userbar standard. To make correct scanlines, make a new canvas in photoshop 2 by 2 pixels, use the pencil tool and set it at one pixel, and put them diagonal from each other. Then go to Edit > Define Pattern. And it's easy from there.

Those are pretty good, I don't like the Smackdown userbar because of the picture on the left of it

I know it says smackdown but perhaps it should just say Smack instead of half of both words?

Ya sure you can request, but don't hold your breath on it getting done. And just a warning, I'm going to disregard all statements made complaining about the lack of logo shown within my userbars. Because I don't know if any of you have noticed, it's only 19 pixels high. That's not a lot to work with, and I don't understand how any of you can think it is. You're not supposed to be able to fit the entire logo into the damn thing, your only supposed to show enough to define it and that's it...

I dont have a problem with any but the Nod logo.. maybe shrinking 50%.. if that. Just enough to define it.. and other than what i stated above.. it's all good.
