Cool! I'll do one when I've got my Linux installed or I download X11 for Mac.

[ThePhantom]

Although gimp was primarily created for linux, it runs on windows as well

[JunkBondTrader]

I know, but I don't have Windows.

[Kiros]

Eh, kinda forgot about this thread :P I'll come back to it when I return from a lesson and driver's ed. I kinda have a busy day :D (Though I'll be back in about 10 hours.)

Oh hey! You changed your name! ThePhantom eh... Thats cool. :)

You guys want to see something awesome? I put quite a lot of effort and time into the next two items, so please don't bash them if you don't like them... The ones after the two items are simply variations (to fit a different name). Oh, and yes, I like to name my work ;) By the by, I apologize for the orb (and its variations) as the gamma for transparency has been acting up lately; Also, I apologize because I have purposefully let these images stay as high-quality PNG files, as I didn't feel a JPEG format would do these images justice. This means these files are large and might take a while to download - again, sorry :| Anyway, here they are:

Desolate Midnight

The Orb of Life

As stated before, the next works are just variations. You might notice how this next image looks strangely like the previous; to make it short and sweet, I used The Path to Righteousness to create The Orb of Life

And of course:

The Original

Hope you enjoyed those, as I rarely do work like this just for the fun of it ;) :P

[Glasgow]

Ooh Kiros. Those look cool, may i ask what program you used?

[ThePhantom]

Those were nice kiros... not too fond of the orbs though myself

And dude dont worry about saying its a .png almost every sig, and avatar (including userbars) are .png as are all of my files. Ew just save it as a jpg then post it and see the difference :P

I used Jasc Paint Shop Pro 9. I got to it before Corel took over, and I trust Jasc quite a bit, so that's why I haven't upgraded to Corel Paint Shop Pro X. Anyway, another feature of Jasc is compression of JPEGs (and just about any other kind of image that uses compression). My JPEG at a YCbCr of 4x4 2x2 2x2 at 99% compression and progressive layout without Exif data (it won't take that long to download, I promise :)):

http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/623/44throughthearchdark22gw.jpg

OK, get this... The server just wouldn't accept the picture... My own computer couldn't recognize the JPEG code! The only program that could decipher the image's compression was Jasc PSP 9. Now, the compressed original of the image above was only 2.64KB while this one is up to about 10KB. This is because I actually had to open this up, and save it to another JPEG file using no compression (with 1x1 YCbCr), standard format, and with the Exif data still attached - this was the only way any computer could actually recognize this hazard :P But jus for the heck of it, let's compare:
