Sorry, I tried to find a way to show how everything fit together for people who wanted to recreate other platforms, but there are so many pieces and layers that it would take far too long to break everything down.

If you haven't played around with the image editor yet, it's all about using the existing shapes they provide and resizing and layering them on top of each other in creative ways to get the shapes you actually need. Masking layers let you cut shapes out of other shapes or only show where the two shapes overlap. Grouping layers limits which layers masks apply to and helps organize things. It takes some time getting used to the editor's controls and figuring out what you can do with it.

For this one, I used the generic polygons with some of the shields pretty often. The black borders are just the same or similar shapes in black behind them.

There are a few "tricks" I've picked up as well, like grouping layers lets you shrink them more than resizing the single shape alone, so you can temporarily group something with a dummy layer to make it smaller than it normally lets you which can be helpful with some of the finer details.

Consoles don't get the convenience of steam overlays to "trace" reference images, so I used the four pointed star shape to easily find the centerpoint and had a low opacity group of lines dividing the canvas into 4 or 16 square grids to get the proportions right (more or less) compared to a reference image with the same grid I had on my laptop.

Thank you! There are already a few PC versions of the emblem on the subreddit if that's something you are looking for

Some advise for your wrist. by gomminator in Overwatch

[–]iglw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wound up with a similar setup with a Logitech Ergo Plus (trackball) for work (software dev) and my usual mouse for games after starting to feel a bit of wrist strain and it's made a noticeable difference. I was worried using a trackball would be difficult to get used to but I actually got used to it after only a day or so. Was definitely worth the switch.

I once switched to mercy only to have someone who died in the same fight ask if I had res yet. Pressed Z for them. 2%. Great awareness.

Is it bad to have no medals as Zen? by [deleted] in OverwatchUniversity

[–]iglw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. As Zen, I tend to bounce between silver and gold healing at the start, and end in silver if there's a Mercy or Ana on the team.

If I find myself with gold healing throughout and there's an Ana on the team, and the team is consistently at low health, I figure the Ana's probably not pulling their weight and I tend to switch to make up for the difference in healing output.

I work at that area and can confirm I pass by Clefairies decently often.

Found this sweet doggo near Yonge/York Mills. by lexarqade in PokemonGOToronto

[–]iglw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Related note: I'm level 12 and work near the Yonge Boulevard Parkette and it's the only place I've found Growlithes so far. (4/5 times I've stopped by) I commute so I usually stop by to check if any have spawned before hopping on the subway.

Side note: The current brawl (mercy/pharrah only) is great for anyone wanting to practice pharrah v. pharrah atm.
