I've made this decal for a request in the decal wish list but I thought it would fit in the Pirate torso library as well.

Russian Admiral

EDIT:

I was in the mood making decals!

There were no requests I was able to do so I decided to make some for the Pirate Torso Library.

what software/application do you guys use for your decal making? if any of you can tell me that would be great... :pir-grin:

Hi there Lego_Warlord_8, welcome to EB.

Personally, I use Corel Draw, and I know other peoople use Inkscape and MS Paint, as well as Adobe Illustrator. It's mostly a question of prefernece and experiance with one of those programs. If you are interested in learning how to make a decal with MS Paint, you can look at this Tutorial. And don't forget to check the Minifig Customization Index for other useful tools.

BTW - I tried to send you this as PM, but then I remembered that members in the 'I'm new' group can't send/recive PMs :wacko: .

Anyway, I don't want it to sound like a restriction to you right the first days you're here, but could you please resize the picture you use in your signature, say to a maximum pixel height of 300 (as indicated in the Site Guidelines)?

That would be very nice, since with a sign as big as yours actually is, it's difficult to see the post: it gets overhelmed by the signature itself.

Thanks for your understanding and collaboration :classic:

lol, ok. sorry about that. :classic:

I can't answer that but other can, Houndblower is great with the custom designs. Welcome by the way...you made it. I grew up in San Jose.

I always try to go for:

dimensions: 360pixels - 300 pixels

resolution: 600dpi - 600dpi

Then you get something like this:

napoleon-torso.jpg

how do you change the DPI in MS paint? if ANYONE can answer, that would be great. :classic:

Thanks for posting Captain Pellew, I will try it out and post results soon. I am a big Horatio Hornblower Fan and you did a nice job.

Thank you, so am I! I plan to make more designs from the series soon. :classic:
