I just came back today to try and learn photoshop again. Haven't used the thing for over a year, reading through this thread I recall a lot of the names.
way back when brushing a background was the way to go. and then pixel stretches. Oh the days of joy. Anyone here remember mancer? (_Mancer_, *Mancer*)
I remember those horrible backward days of the pixel stretching... Praise the Lord, we've grown past that stage.
Mancer wasn't ahead of the time, he was as good (if not worse) then the majority of the top sig-makers. He was a little unique in the huge vertical cut out sigs but when you actually looked at the them, they weren't anything special. If you want olden-special you need to look at MT/Irrel etc.
I never thought irrel was all that great tbh. Overhyped in my opinion, but then again, you guys started NL right?
