Hey guys,

  Whats up?  Its me again...I wanted to give you guys an update on the 3D GS logo I was making.  I decided to put a background to it and see how it looked.  I bassed the background of course off of the GS Profile banner at the top.  I think I pretty much nailed it to a T...took a lil experimenting but I got it!   Anyway, Im still trying to play with effects, which do you think looks best: no glass, or glass on it?  I had another one where it was just a reflection off of the metal part but I messed up the animation, so as soon as I fix that Ill post it too.

  I know that the glass effect on it is a little shoddy, so Ill be working to make it look more like glass today as well.  So...what you guys really came for though.  How did I get my Biological Warfare emblem...

  Well I took my gamespot badge coding and Ive been wearing it on my site, mine as well as a friends forum of ours, and then a test site (which can be found in the GS Emblems Union, undet the topic : does anyone have this emblem...and on page 3) and just posted a lot and got a lot of views from it.  Once I got so many view, (I have no clue how many) I got the emblem   Id say that the magic number is around 2000+ though and no they dont have to click it it just has to be on a page when its loaded.

  So make sure that you wear your badge everywhere possibel and in your sigs that way people can do all the work for you just by going into a topic that you post in.  The more posts you make, the more you badge will be viewed, and the faster youll get your emblem

  By the way, make sure that you coment on my 3D logos...they take longer and are a lot harder to make than you may think, lol.  Hopefully I'll wor out all of the bugs and perfect all the effects today on them.

Hey guys,

  Whats up?  Yeah Im back for some reason...and once again I am designing sigs.  Im still trying to get back into the gist of things and work out some kins here and there, but its getting better.

  Well I made another spidey sig tonight.  I think it came out pretty good...I didnt want to use text though, it might ruin it.  But overall I like it a lot better like that. 

  For all of you who think I am obsesed with Spidey...I am not.  I am just really into the spirit of Spidey 3 coming out and my most favorite villain being in it, Venom!  I promise once it comes out the Spidey theme will go away, lol.

Hey guys,

  Whats up? I know that I havnt been around much lately and most of you know why.  About 3 weeks ago my family and I found out that my gramps had cancer.  He went into surgery to have some of it removed but unfortunately its been al downhill from there.

  Last night I watched as my grandpa took his last breath and peacefully passed away.  Although I am very sad to see him leave, I am very happy that he went so peacefully and at home.  It was wierd because the day before he was so energetic and happy then yesterday he was unresponsive and then passed at 1:52am today...which also happens to be my youngest sons birthday.

  I happy to say that I will now be around a lot more and will be updating the union and a few other things very soon.  I thank you guys who were there for me and showed me so much support....thanks.
