Ameritaz (Mike) - Sig Pic Ready

I really spent a lot of time on this one... No, not actually working on it but trying to figure out what the hell I wanted to do with it!! I'm still not JAZZED by it but I think it turned out pretty good.

Here's the orig image:

I chopped off the non-color coded camper (he gave me permission) and then added a fake tailgate behind it Then I used this Ford graphic:

Then painted it blue and layered it on the black one. Then I made a blue and black striped layer and masked it onto the text. Mike, please please please don't be nice to me, if you hate it or hate something about it then tell me and I'll fix it. In fact, if you can think of a better way to go please let me know, the sky's the limit. Otherwise, enjoy

That looks cool. Should make the Ford logo color same as blue that is in 1996 F150, etc. so they match. Ford looks out of place

Y'know... I thought about that and how it bothered me that they don't match. The mask behind that text (light blue and black) was the first thing that I did, then I didn't like that light blue color on the Ford lettering so I chose a different one. If anything I'd change the coloring of the truck specs to match the Ford logo, but that means I'll have to paint up another mask to put behind the text... I suppose I'll give that a try

Chris, how much will you charge me to do my picture sig?
Which truck should I do?

Maybe you should advertise for this service in the classifieds.

Anyway, it looks great. Keep up the good work!

Well I don't really think they're worth much but I suppose that's probably a biased opinoin since I'm the one that mad them... But you're not the first to offer money for them. If I were smart I would have charged money to start with, but since I've done about 4 or 5 now and haven't charged anyone it just wouldn't be fair. So I suppose the way I'll do it from here on out is, if anyone want one, just email a pic of your truck to me (skandocious at gmail dot com) and I'll make one for you; and if you feel like it's worth something to you and would like to reward me for my efforts, you can transfer some money to me via Paypal at the address tehbra at aol dot com. But that is strictly voluntary, not manditory.

So yeah, if you want one, just email me a pic of your truck (entire truck must be INSIDE the frame of the picture so that I can crop it out without a big flat line on 1 side), and I'll make one for you. From there, if you want to donate then you're more than welcome to do so. Most of these sigs that I have made took 2-3 hours, give or take an hour depending on the sig.

Mike where are you!? I wanna know what you think of the sig pic!!

Thanks Chris,
I'll keep the offer in mind, and I hope others take you up on the offer too.
