I really love some of the sigs that people have for their characters, but I'm at somewhat of a loss as to how they manage an action pose AND man the printscreen button in combat at the same time...just curious if I could get some suggestions on how to manage it :)

Fight with some chairs, those wont hit back. :D

Easiest advice -- (a) practice and (b) hit [Print Screen] constantly during a fight. Then review the screenshots, find the best one, and clip to make the sig.

You might want to start with mobs a little bit below your level, to reduce the possibility of dying. You're going for dramatic looks, not capturing your best memories for posterity (those are what fraps are for).

I like the tactic shock and awe.
You stun your victim with some weird question or simply flash a bodypart then when they stand there doing nothing you quickly run up to them and take the picture.



ps. No mini girls were harmed... She was however never seen again and Tina felt like she had eaten every item on a Del Taco menu!
Worst time ever for highheels to break no?

Paint is your friend :D

I don't want to poop on the party, but according to the Cryptic Studios Forum Usage Guidelines:

16. Signatures are limited to five lines of text, including blank lines, or an image that must be no larger than 500x150 pixels and 50Kb in size.

That's ridiculously small, like my sig, for instance.

Thanks Jess. Mine was slightly above the max, so I edited it accordingly.

What I'd really like to know is how some of you guys do the slideshows in your sigs.

The devs don't actually enforce the rule unless your sig is particularly obnoxious or pushing the size limits too far.

For instance I'm fairly sure anything within 700 * 200 would be fine, but any higher is really pushing it.

I am always moving the camera around to view combat from different angles. I have the screenshot key right by my action keys, so it's a simple matter to get shots taken.

I made a slideshow but was unable to get it to work - someone had to do that for me. It may be a bit large . . .

For my newest one, I just happened to get lucky. The full screen version of it is super epic. I love the scale of it.
