problems: random shading, disconnected background, *very* bad
rounding, etc..
a few more obvious problems..
the o is higher than the other three letters
the n is missing a peice..
the letters have random characters in them.
now im going to draw a font from scratch using the same width
and look since that one is pretty hopeless :.. so slackzor,
you get to watch my progress. usually, ill do an outline first
with dots but in this case i just needed a basic font. so here:
SS*. .. .yy. .**.
l7k .4* j: b
l l
.y@S ,,,
j .d7
l yy
7
pgdown then
SS*. .. .yy. .**.
l7k .4*k j: b
l l
.y@S ,,,
j .d7
l .
*,7 *S
.,yyS 7
.y.47
.47 ..
.47.**
well, some ugly special fx. anyway, now for the background.

ok, i went a little far with the background, but it looks nice.
remember, the background is just as important as the font so dont
just throw it together real quick. now im going to color it and
pgdownadd a couple of finishing touches.

when i shade, i use two different styles of shading, light source
shading and 3d effect shading.. light source shading is where you
pick a light source in this case the upper left, and shade accord-
ingly. 3d effect is where you shade outwards from the middle. this
creates a nice 3d effect. you can look at the font for an example
of light sourcing, or at the ice around the font for 3d effect.
also to be noticed is the purposely unshaded light black, which
makes the ice shine out better..
now, finally, aeon as i found out is some weird group, do not
give it to them or submit it in any of there packs, if you do ill
nail your ass with copyright infringement, or something.
and slackzor, your getting better, keep working at it man :
