Tutorial on Comm Bars?

[Zyliath]

I am currently making my commbar for my independent trader character I'm going to create, but i make them so much horrible.

So I'm asking for a little tutorial on making and stylishing them.

P.S: I employ GIMP

Thanks in advance!

To be honest, I used GIMP so long ago , I don't really remember how it actually works, but in Photoshop, I usually deploy some various brushes or shapes that give the base of the header,than apply certain style overlays, or just make a com image with some fancy stuff on it and use the forums own assets to make it look good.

Exaples are :

the Bloodrose Com Bars : http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread...pid1674647
OSC Com header ( inspired by the Bloodrose ) : http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread...pid1719036

On forum formating, I'd point you to the tutorial courtessy of @"Protégé" - edit: Ninja'd

To be honest it works the same in GIMP, just replace "style overlays" with "filters".

Thanks for all heads-up! If you have some more tips, feel free to post them here!

P.S: Might be useful for who wants to learn how to make one.

First try at commbars and holo effect!
All feedback is appreciated!

Not bad. Maybe make those frames a bit thiner. They're too fat currently, imho. You can also change the 'ball' to look like an eye which displays the text.

[Zyliath]

@Epo Hmm...yeah, the frames are too fat, actually. About the eye-text-displaying, I have no idea where to start from. If you have a tip, it'd be appreciated.
