Making a new siggy (please help me decide!)

Subject: Making a new siggy (please help me decide!) Wed Jul 09, 2008 10:37 am

Okay, so i'm planning to make a new siggy and i made a poem to put on a nice picture i found. The only thing is, i can't decide which version of the poem i like best!

Firstly, here is the picture that i'd like to put one of the poems (below) on:

Making a new siggy (please help me decide!) Template

Of course it won't be this big and i will be editing it to make it look more dreamy/sun set like. Also if you know a font that would look good with it, please notify me of it Smile

Speaking of which, what is the limit to siggy image sizes?

And here are the poems that i can't decide between :S :

Version 1:
I stand out here by myself
and as the sun sets
I know that i've kept you safe for one more day

Version 1 part b:
I stand out here by myself
and as the sun sets
I know that your lying in the arms of safety
but it wounds my heart that it's not me
who is the one that is embracing you
yet as long as he keeps you happy
and i am able to stay by your side
I think i can live on to the next sunset

Version 2:
I stand out in the cool dusk air
watching the sun set without you
assuring myself that you are safe
in the arms of the one that you love
but it wounds my aching heart
that i am not that person
who is lucky to call you my own
yet as long as he keeps you happy
and i am able to stay by your side
i think i can live on to the next sunset

Version 2 part b:
This part changes...
"that i am not that person
who is lucky to call you my own"
to
that it is not i who can call you my own

Version 3:
I feel the brisk dusk breeze kissing my cheeks
I wish they were your lips kissing mine
But i know it is not possible
for he has swept you away
Though i thank him for keeping you safe
Yet i yearn for you to be the one
to be safe in my embrace
yet as long as he keeps you happy
and i am able to stay by your side
I think i can live on to the next sunset

So please help me decide! I'd really appreaciate it! Very Happy

I like version two the best! :3

I like version 3 Very Happy

And the maximum size?? Errm...I don't know...but as long as it's not too big, it's fine Very Happy

well i don't want it to stretch the boards like it has here... :S

So points so far:

Version 1: |
Version 1 part b:
Version 2: ||
Version 2 part b:
Version 3: ||

(my friend voted too)

I think i'll rule out version 1 because Shinogu isn't the one keeping hatsumi safe... *rules out*

So Vers. 3 is winning so far?? Very Happy

What anime/manga does this come from?

Yep, i'll let it sit for a bit and ask around.
It's from a manga called Hot Gimmick. I finished reading the last volume on the same day as whenever i posted that and i was on the verge of tears! soo tragic! very good manga though! And i'm surprised it hasn't been made into an anime yet, it's really popular!

Now I gotta read it! :3
I'm pretty surprised too! Even though I never read it, I've seen tons of people talking about it...

ARgh...I want to read it too!!! >__<

We will, someday! The power of youth!

YOSH!!

YOSHI!

LOL! everytime i think of yosh i think of yoshi too!

and my cousin suggested having macaroni for dinner tonight and i had the macorina song in my head all day

okay so i edited the photos.. i might change it agian but this is what i've settled on so far:
.. hmm i uploaded an image with the thingy there but i don't know where it went

i'll put it on photobucket.

Okay here it is:
Making a new siggy (please help me decide!) Eveningparchment3

Wow! Awesome! I love the effects that you used! Especially that one that makes it look like wrinkled parchment! Very Happy

Whats that called?

Yes, I concur!!!

That is just perfect for that photo!!!

I just use an image that was in fact, wrinkled parchment Razz

and put it on the picture and edited the layer properties and things. I made it in paint shop though, not photoshop. haven't quite got used to photoshop yet :S

I never used Photoshop before...I stuck with Arcsoft Smile

I am used to using photoshop 7.0, because its what the school taught us on... but, the photoshop that I own is photoshop 4.0, and I'm not great at that.

The photoshop took up too much space in our computer...and made it slow, so we took it off :S

yeah, my brother likes upgrading our computer... so he adds tons of memory to it!

How's that possible??

Oh i no! My comptuer is sooo much slower since i put photoshop on. And it freezes alot too! which is annoying *shakes fist*

Yeah; that sure sucks Knock Knock

Me ish sowwy. But... photoshop is so useful!
