Free Gryphon Splash Screens!
 

hey peoples... i got bored and made up some spash screens for our gryphons. i was a digital artist by trade so no biggie to make these and give away.

i made 1 saleen and 2 rousch ones so far. all i ask is that you snap a pic and upload to this thread :D

(note: b versions are inverted colors in case you want it)

enjoy!

one more...

Teeroy.... thanks for sharing those! It's always nice to have creative people who can contribute. :2thumbs:

:cool_beans: no problem Bill! i'll keep posting as i finish others. im open to requests...

Another free splash screen :2thumbs:

Thanks, Glad you like them as soon as i make more Ill post them. :)

haha, glad to know Im not the only one who gets bored and draws on the computer. Dont have too many uploaded right now, but have a few in a photo album.
:thumbs up yellow:

they aren't high quality since I'm not used to small pictures but bill liked a few of them. Still having trouble getting words to look right so I've been staying away from that.

your tellin me it takes forever to get the words right. the three i did took about 45min a piece i wish the was a faster way lol. what program r u using i made mine in paint.

Paint.net

Its like a mix between paint and photoshop. I use it only because of layers, I can draw something out and if I dont like it I just delete that layer.:2thumbs: Like the one I'm working on now, adding my initials and CB handle to the gryphon picture and Im using layers to get fonts, sizes and positions right.

If you like playing around with stuff on the computer I'd look into the paint.net, I got it because I lost paint on my old computer and just stumbled onto it...plus its free and havent had any viruses from it.:thumbs up yellow:

Well i have photoshop CS4 but i dont know what the hell im doing lol. ill try paint.net Thanks

yeah, all I knew how to use was paint until I took a comp. tech class where we learned how to use photoshop. Had a hard time adapting because there is more you can do it just takes the know how to do it(which the teacher didnt give easy), I still cant do some of the fancier things in photoshop. The teacher even asked me if wispering profanity at the computer was helping. Guess it did because I passed. :hehe: Now I use paint.net for everything because its a mix of both (but more on the photoshop side.)

Heres another splash screen. i edited this one off the the php website.

Did you type or draw "F-150"? I'm still just typing with fonts unless its supposed to look like its drawn (like the "off road" one I did)

I drew the letters it takes awhile i havent tried typing them yet.

Here's another one.

Another Free Splash Screen

another...

Easiest way to make splash screens is with paint. Save any picture as a monochrome bitmap and you have an instant splash screen. Just have to get the size right.

^^thats a good idea, didn't think of saving a picture.:thumbs up yellow: Had to do that to make my personal screen though. Some greys snuck in there somewhere and had to get them out. lol

Anybody like this one?

Keep in mind that in paint, anything that is not "white" in a color image will be considered black when converting to monochrome. This is a pain in the tush when trying to work with color images such as logos and such. Half the time it's almost easier to just make the whole thing by hand.

Good luck! :2thumbs:

^yep, found that out the hard way.:doh:lol

BTW here are two more off road ones, they are the same except one has the colors inverted.

here's 3 more. feel free to offer opinions

Hey great job on the splash screens.

Don't suppose you could do up a 6.4 Turbo Diesel one?

Sure, no prob, any specific designs or looks?

Oh and Im guessing you have a gryphon? (Just to make sure)

Here's a general screen that just says "6.4 Turbo Diesel". I have another coming up that is dressed up better and has the pic of a turbo, its gonna look good. Should come out this afternoon or friday. :D

Alright, is this kinda what your looking for?:skeptic: I can do all kinds of stuff, just check my profile and there is an album with just splash screens that I've made. Bill even put my first two on the website support page:happy-dancing: and I have really improved since then.

*BTW, both attached items are the same. Just the one that you cant see should be the only one that works on your programmer.

Note to Bill-Should I get into selling these? Just moved to college and could use a little extra cash. LOL

Any chance you can get somethin up for a 4.6L V8? that would be awesome

I started on a 4.6 screen back in july since my truck is a 4.6, kinda put that off to the side and forgot about it. Keep an eye on my profile picture folder called splash screens and one of these threads (usually cant remember which one I was on :notallthere: ). I'll be workin on it in my spare time now that I made my own gryphon that turned out ok. :thumbs up yellow:

Also to fordkindaguy, is there anything specific you want on it besides 4.6 somewhere? I usually put gryphon or PHP on it somewhere anyways to fill up empty space. I'm open to picture ideas.

Hey I really like the ford racing one you have, so if you can work magic and put the two together! :cool_beans:

Ok...how about these two. They each have their own style of 4.6 V8 text. Im still thinking about more. So far I'm liking the 3rd, any other opinions to add? :nerd: lol

Awesome man! :happy-dancing:haha i like the middle and far right the most:2thumbs:... Now i have to set the timer so it stays just a bit longer when i start up the truck! oh and i should be gettin my custom tunes tomorrow :woot:

I set mine to the maximum 10 sec. Ha, that ford racing was one of the first screens I made and I've never even loaded it onto my programmer. :giggle:

I keep trying to use this image but it keeps saying must be black and white only and wont load:notallthere: looks pretty black and white to me

When it's saying black and white, it means that it must be a 2 bit monochrome BMP file, not just a "black and white" file. The software is quite particular and doesn't have the ability to convert files based on what it thinks is black or white.

Hope that makes sense.

Ok :doh:, which one did you want, I'll convert it and send it to you.

haha no problem, the far right one! :cheesy smile: thanks again

try this one. I'm pretty sure this one will work.

What is the purpose of these?

So when you turn your key on just before you start the truck you can impress yourself and your friends.

Its just a neat way to have a personal touch in your gryphon when you start your truck. Takes the place of the PHP gryphon logo.

Here's my attempt at 2, just playing around. I'm going to do some better ones tomorrow.

haha nice xperties. If your planning on doing a bunch, open a new album that way when someone looks at your profile they are all right there, no digging. You'll just have to save as a jpeg.:thumbs up yellow:

Gotcha...I did notice that when I do the original in photoshop if I save it as a png and then open in paint and convert the text turns out much better.

I guess uploading as bmp isn't allowed. Maybe one of the mods can change the settings in the backend of the forums admin section but for now I'll just upload them in jpg.

Only Bill and Corey along with Enom can change the upload settings.
You could do a screen shot and save to photoshop or print screen and save as pdf.
IMO

Yeah, I had issues with it at first. But with the process I'm using right now, I have to save a copy as a single layer jpeg and then save that copy as a bitmap. So I have one of each anyways.

Enom...yuck for a host. I always wondered why the DNS reversed back to a long sub-domain.

They should move to a proper host which would allow them to control more aspect of the DNS and PHP code and it would still support frontpage extensions which it seems Cory uses. I owed my own hosting company for 6 years before banking out and selling so I know a little about this type of thing.

I think what I'll do is create a script that auto loads all the bmp in a display, kinda like a gallery, and just link it from my sig to my site.

Is this file you posted the correct format to use for the Gryphon? I love the look of this splash screen and just wanted to make sure its ready to go for upload as is. Thanks!

Can someone make a Browning Buckmark load up screen?
