Nice, your other one was great, but this is even better! :D

Yeah, a glow around the letters would probably make it even better than that...

Lol, do you use photoshop or GIMP? It took me ages because I had never done animation before, so I probably did it a really stupid long way round :P

I use photoshop CS2,, never have GIMP :D

I tried animation but still the very basic.

How to draw "firetongue" slowly like you did in your sig? because in imageready (as far as I learn now) animation pallet doesn't work like that.. :huh:

In ImageReady, the only thing I could think of is making a text layer, putting in the text, and then trace it in different layers (one layer for each frame).

That's exactly it Nick, I did it from this tutorial for GIMP but it probably works the same in photoshop.

Yeah, in Photoshop you would need to make the text layer, add the text, and the use the color wand (or w/e it's called) to select the text, and then add a layer, tracing through. The good thing is, you can't go out of the lines :D

And from what I read in the tutorial, I don't think you can go back more than one or two actions, because fencepost said it would be best to not delete the text layer until the end. Thankfully, on Photoshop, you can go back as far as you want :P

Lol, I know, it's because I get paranoid about people stealing them when I don't have my screen name on my sigs.
