REQUEST:Beak reshaping in Sig?
alt.ascii-art
· 3 messages · 4 Sep 1994 - 5 Sep 1994
A few months ago I posted my sig and asked if anyone could think of a
way to reduce the size. Well, a couple people convinced me to keep it
the size that it is (though I appreciate all of the help that everyone
gave). Well, I'm back with another question. Can anyone help me with
the reshaping of the beak in the bird (I like to think of it as an eagle)
in my sig. I would like the head to be facing towards the words. My
try is below the original below. Somehow the chest and the neck seem to
look wrong this way, I don't know why. Any suggestions?

egomaniac or something;) (my, what genius of sig making;) Anyway, I
worked on my sig for a couple more hours and came up with an improved
version. Any comments, suggestions?

I moved the head to the right, and added an eye. (How could he look at the sig without it? ;] ) Didn't have much time to spend on it unfortunately, I'm in the middle of re-sitting all my exams. Oh well, suppose I'd better get back to doing some work now. Keep diddlin' -- |~\ _ /~~~\ |\_|\_ S ___ ___ | < | | |\| /~_ | |_ (| o o |) | =| =| S |}==| |=={| |_/ |_| | | \_| |_ |_ | o | | =| =\_.
