Hey guys, I have created a photobucket account with some images
http://s271.photobucket.com/albums/jj136/sigaccount123/
A word on the images: these are mostly photographs of me, with a couple of other things mixed in. The reason for this is I would really like to have a pic of myself in the sig, in some creative way, even if you want to make me into some sort of CG person, hehe...the other stuff is a bit random. You can add anything you want but please use at least 1 of my images.
If it helps, things I like: lucid dreaming (duh) water, boats, rubies(but it's really hard to find a good pic of a ruby anyway), the female body, nature, candy and chocolate and ...hmm running out of steam on visual things that I like. basically it needs to be beautiful.
You don't have to incorporate anything from the above list; I included it in case anyone gets inspiration from it, i guess.
Thanks so much!
Is that a challenge?Quote:

hey, it looks great but i too am disoriented by the vertical text. I love the colors though! I think i will also wait a bit for man of steel's 'maybe' effort...do you have any alternate versions? maybe also using a different pic out of the album? If no other sig is made i would still be very happy to use this one.Quote:

Oh well:
P.S.: Don't get mad Goldney!
Am I not supposed to not get mad at the plagiarism of my work or the misspelling of my name?
There, i fixed it. It was intended to be a joke from the NeAvO thing, but. . .
Awaits a siggy request.
Whoever wants this can have it, I made it but personally I don't like it at all. Just tell me and i'll put your name in it, also, if you want it to be a different color I can change that in a couple clicks too. ( I know it's humongo)

alternating pattern of pig* from avatar, sized to fit- facing left, right, left right: like this:

on far right side, "Mrs. Jones" in black Stencil font, written vertically (as in, [Mrs. Jones], then flip text 90 degrees, sized to fit
*can you alternate the color/texture of the pig as white and cardboard, instead of pink?
thanks :mrgreen:
here's a bigger pic of the pig: http://www.eng.ritsumei.ac.jp/asao/s...eman_2/pig.gif
Hey Mrs. Jones, I'm trying to make your sig right now but for some reason when I try to make the canvas to start, I get an error in Photoshop. The error is "Could not complete the command because the scratch disks are full". I really have no clue why it's doing that and it seems every function I do in Photoshop I get that error...
wow it seems like your avatar should be pretty descriptive of your actual condition right now...Quote:

Sorry, yeliza, I just haven't had time to try to make you a sig. Walfe, yeah, sounds like you need to clear out some hard drive space.
Yeah. :roll:Quote:

Hey, just wondering if i can have a sig based on this?
http://www.markspics.net/albums/albu...everending.jpg
maybe abit of blue shading or something?
ps. i like the colour blue
Wow, I really like that pic. I'll see what I can do with it later.
Edit: Had to squish it a little. It's pretty easy to edit, so if you want it any different, let me know.
http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/303...rendingyv1.gif
Did you use the cut-out or posterise filter Stevehattan? I'm just curious.
Oh an dabomb: Do you want the majority of the picture to be sky or ground? This sig could go two different directions.
http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/1894/dabomb1mk9.png
http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/903/dabomb2fl4.png
I have paint shop. I used the color balance and "sharpen more" once.
i like the one with more sky, i think it looks better. thanks!
EDIT:
dont worry, i already got one thanks to Walfe
Walfe is back in business. :D
Mrs. Jones, I figured out how to flip the pigs so I'm on my way making your sig, I just can't find a stencil font anywhere...
www.dafont.com
They've got plenty of cool stencil fonts.
ROFL. MoS...
...your sig is THE SHIT. :cooler:
How did you get that gradual fade of opacity on the text?
PS. I'm not too big a fan of the new avatar MoS.
agreed. Loved that film. Bought Shaun of the Dead today, apparently it's even better.Quote:

I think I set it to Color and about 75% opacity. I just wanted it to sort of match the title on the poster.Quote:

Aye, bigger, centred vertically within the streak and a colour that fits with the general colour scheme.Quote:

Anyone feel like making me a new sig? This one's a bit out of date :P
Something centred around my rabbit, preferably in some amusing situation... Having 'Lord Toaster' in it isn't compulsory, and you can use any other text you want. It's a pretty open field really :P
Haven't I already made you one before? I lose track of these things.
Also MoS, it definitely needs the bigger text and maybe bringing Link in front of the "fog". Overall that's a fantastic sig. Where did the background come from?
I would, but i'm parched of ideas. My brain is dry.Quote:

It's just one of the sample images that came with Vista. I just added a Clouds layer to make it darker and more 'interesting', if you will. Here we go, four new versions. The background is clearer in the first two, as I increased that layer's opacity.Quote:

Alright, this is what I came up with C911. The American flag just didn't look right on the right, so I mirrored it. It's certainly not my best work; I'm tired and your requirements were a tad limiting. And my creative muse seems to gone bye-bye for the week. Maybe one of the other guys can come up with something better. I got you two versions, one with the subtext, "Evil Kanevil" and one without, which leaves a gaping hole in the middle of the sig. Meh.

SomeGuy, don't worry, I haven't forgotten you, just been busy and inspiration hasn't struck. Maybe tell me some things you like, and I'll come up with a theme-based sig?
Whooooo adult Link!! :smitten: Whooooooooo
I would do this myself but i'm not as skilled as some people. But can someone make me a sig with a lightning storm with my name in a fancy italic font but still readable.
I appreciate what the artists making the requests are doing. When I get better I will definatly help out!
Thanks a lot,

I won't go into details, but let's just say that's three different pictures and that clouds are damn hard to get to join up. I'm rather pleased though because it turned out quite well, if I do say so myself.
Ah I love them. They're refined and speak of an age when the British Empire was at it's might ruling the world and gentlemen roamed the streets, doffing top hats left, right and centre.Quote:

Do you guys think I should go back to the Apocalypse sig? I don't know...i'm baffled.
I think that you should remake your avatar at about 5x the size and then shrink it down to its current size to remove those horrible jaggies. Also you should save it as either a .png or .gif file to remove that white background.
As for the signature, only you can really decide that one.
I have no idea what that avatar is supposed to mean, but the jagged edges and the lossy format makes it look bad, I vectorized it, made the background transparent and saved it as a PNG.

Wow that's awesome! O_O
But do you think you could make my name a little more visible? I like the font a lot though.
Whoa, that's some darned impressive work, slayer! Nice sig you made yourself, too! Nice, man!
That's pretty cool! What did you use to make the background? C4Ds?
@ xXSomeGuyXx: Yeah, PNG and GIF formats support transparency, the background of that image will be the same color as the background of the page, unless your browser/OS is old and doesn't support PNG transparency, in that case it'd be shown as white.
I think thats what their called...
It was just some rendered picture from a website. You can't really notice it actually...
I have an older IE on this computer. Ill see it tommarrow. Slayer, that sig is awesome. But is his name in ther? It's kind of bright too
xXSomeGuyXx, you have bad luck, the forum automatically converts from PNG to GIF, I'd need to make some changes so that you can use that avatar with transparency, lemme fix it...
EDIT: Here, try the first one, if that doesn't work, the second one should work (it has a static background):
http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t.../misc/av_3.png
http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t.../misc/av_4.png
o okay
Slayer! Downsize your banner sigs! Anything above 150px vertically is too much!
This was a DV Public Service Announcement. Over and out...
But forum allows 200x500! I shall not let that go to waste!Quote:

Not 200x500, but 600x200. Width x Height, not the other way around.
Still, I stand by my argument of 150+ height being too much.
I'm with Merlock on this one. I make all my sigs at 500x125 for the sake of loading times and good looks.
http://www.ipix.lt/images.php/i7716_7e2b3dde.jpg
Slayer, would you mind making this a matching avatar too? My usual monkey doesn't really fit.:P
I think just by removing the pink and replacing it with that render thing would work. Thank for the awesome work!:)
Edit: Oh and could you make my name a little bit more visible? Thanks.:P
Merlock's right, 200px is just too big.Quote:

Yeah I used planetrenders.
Ok, I'll lower mine and Grod's sig so it's smaller.
Edit: Ok I lowered mine, and here's Grod's...
http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/4...sigcopygv9.jpg
Much better.
Anyone else want a sig by me :D
I need a new sig. I got a good idea going. Put something like the band Agent Orange's logo somewhere in there, and use an "§" for the first S in my name in the sig. And something like an orange with agent-like clothes would be good too. Thanks!
Agent orange logo: http://www.spirit-of-metal.com/les%2.../pics/logo.gif
Any FLCL fans here who know how to make a decent sig?
It'll involve Canti, PM me for the details.
You might as well post your details here, you'll have more people take a go at making it for you.Quote:

This could be done with a picture of him in midchange, or some sort of crossing of an image of his calm, and another aggressive.
As for the test, I would like AspiR (in those colors... which means you can play with the positioning of the text and Canti's forms. Notice this text must match Canti's actual colors... me coloring the text here in my reply is just for ease of understanding) to be the main focus text, with the full "AspirationRealized" somewhere in the sig also, though not nearly as emphasized.
To be honest, I don't expect anyone to take this request up o0
Looks challenging...
I might take a go at it...but don't expect it anytime soon!
Just be sure to PM me, because after a few days I'll stop checking here.Quote:

I'll see what I can work up over the next day or two. That sounds like I'll have more room to work with on that one.Quote:

If it can be made into a gif, I would like to request the help of anyone who can make the text show up letter by letter as if it were being typed. I'd also like to know how many different phrases could be put in.
If someone can do these sorts of things, lemme know the details of what you can do, and I'll decide the text by then.
It's possible to do what you want, the thing is that GIF format is a 256 color format which will probably kill the quality of your signature if it has many colors,Quote:

I can do that pretty easily. What phrase do you want in there?
Alright, good sir, you've been commissioned.Quote:

What the text looks like in the anime.
I'd like the text to match the "style" loosely of the japanese text, but be, of course, in english (I used impact in mine, but you don't have to if you know of a better font). White as well... just try to match that as best you can. Note that the text appears letter by letter, decently fast, as if someone with adept typing were doing it.
I'd like you to play around with the cropping on this... if you don't mind. At the very least, I want cropping simillar to my self-made signature, where it shows a bit of his body, the halo above, and the cat on his shoulder. If you wouldn't mind, I'd like another signature made where it shows mostly just the screen, to see what I would like best.
These are the phrases I would like, at the very least. If you can fit more, fantastic. Order of what I want is as follows...
Dream is destiny... (first)
Tits or GTFO... (always last)
If you can fit three, make it "~AspiR" first (without the quotes), then the Dream phrase, then tits.
If four may fit, make them ~AspiR, dream, "There is no real..." (again, without quotes), then tits.
There are some additions I would like made. If you can't fit three phrases, I want AspiR to be placed somewhere in the sig, and emphasized. If AspiR is going to be made as text, then there is no need.
Either way I would like the full name AspirationRealized to be fit somewhere in the sig, perhaps a bottom corner. The colors should be Aspiration in blue and Realized in red (and with "Aspi" in blue and "R" in red, if need be. Look at my sig now to get the idea).
These colors are inspired by the two different colors the character shifts into...
http://www.animegalleries.net/img/54099 - blue
http://www.animegalleries.net/album/1107/img/3 red
I want them to embody these colors as good as possible.
Its a tall order o0 if you decide to decline, lemme know, and please, let me know as soon as you can how many phrases you'll be able to fit.
Oh, and if it helps anything, this is to be alligned to the left below the black line that separates your message from your signature.
http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/2...ealisedfa2.gif
You should be able to just put that link straight into your sig.
Flawless victory XDQuote:

The signature you made isn't bad by any means, but as far as I know you can only have one image in your signature, and I'm most satisfied with what I have now.
If you like, I could put that along with my Noob Gun image in my DJ. But I dunno if you'd wanna take up image space with something I won't be using as my sig....
Lemme know.
You can do whatever you want with the image. Whenever you get bored with that one then you could change to mine.
Coolness.Quote:

Ok, this is a far shot, and might be too much work, so if no one is willing to do it I understand. :D
Ok... so I'm thinking of something to do with the Companion Cube from the game Portal:
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f1...anion-cube.png
http://blog.steeefan.de/wp-content/u...anion-cube.jpg http://vaultmedia.ign.com/vnboards/2...panioncube.gif
Also, my avatar included in the sig, maybe on the other side of the sig, or maybe near the companion cube trying to hug it or something.
And... if possible, add a quote from Portal regarding the Companion Cube into the sig:
"The Enrichment Center reminds you that the weighted companion cube cannot speak. In the event that the weighted companion cube does speak, the Enrichment Center urges you to disregard its advice."
"The symptoms most commonly produced by Enrichment Center testing are superstition, perceiving inanimate objects as alive, and hallucinations. The Enrichment Center reminds you that the weighted companion cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak."
"You did it! The weighted companion cube certainly brought you good luck. However, it cannot accompany you for the rest of the test and, unfortunately, must be euthanized."
"While it has been a faithful companion, your companion cube cannot accompany you through the rest of the test. If it could talk - and the Enrichment Center takes this opportunity to remind you that it cannot - it would tell you to go on without it because it would rather die in a fire than become a burden to you."
Any of those would do, or maybe even something to do with dreaming instead. I guess just my screen name would be fine also...
the main thing I want is my avatar, close to the Companion Cube... because my avatar is lonely.
Ok... that's all. Now feel free to point and laugh at me for asking for such a difficult task. :D

The only thing... I think the quote didn't go well on the picture. It's too long and hard to read. I think it'll be a lot better if I put that quote outside of that sig, in normal letters.
If instead you could simply put "tyrantt23" with some sort of effect (brushed metal, portal letters, orange-to-blue colors/embossing) I don't know... just whatever effect you think would go well and that doesn't take a lot of work.
In the meantime, I'll go ahead and put that for my sig... omg... seriously, I have no words to express how much I liked my little alien hugging the companion cube in the portal background!

Also, if you could make it a tid-bit longer horizontally, but if not, that's alright... I'm still in love with the sig! :D
EDIT EDIT:
Never mind about the width of the sig. It actually falls perfectly symmetrical to the rest of my sig. :D
EDIT EDIT EDIT:
If you can post that same sig, without the quote (just plain with the background, my avatar, and the cube), I'll try to play around with different variations of my screen name, inverting the picture (so that the avatar is on the other side), and maybe adding a shorter quote. I'm sure that stuff would be simple to do on GIMP if I play around with it a bit. You got the hard part done and it looks beautifully beautiful! :smitten:
I was pretty bored and decided to give it a go...you don't need to use it, but I thought you should see it!

if you like it...then I could eliminate the weird shadow thing that I forgot to erase while making it...if not then :madtongue: (haha just kidding)

I'll pick Goldney's sig because it's not too cluttered even with the quote in there. I also really liked the font. It matches the alien... :D
KingOfGlass and Slayer, thanks for making a sig as well. I loved them all and would use all of them if I could. :D
Would anyone care for a cookie as a reward? :cookiemonster:
Dibs on the cookie!
Haven't used Photoshop in ages. I just made this for myself so if anyone wants a sig made i'll be happy to make you one.

Hello. So, I finally changed my avatar completely (for the time being anyway), and I think it's time for a completely new sig too. :D Ummm, I think the dimensions of my current sig are perfect, so I'd prefer a sig that's pretty close to this size. Uhhh, I'd like my username in it, and I do tend to like fairies. :P Hmm, that already sounds exactly like the sig that I already have, but I am looking for new one. Sooooo yeah. THANK YOU!!
Edit: Hehe awww what about with this pic? http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...pic10876_2.gif It's not a fairy, and I might not stick with it long, but it'd be cool to see one made anyway. :D
But fairies are good. *subliminal message*fairies.
I might ask for a sig sometime soon....
Just need to figure out what I want, heh. :?
I think there's an overdose of pink in this sig but it's all I could think of and I coulnd't find any fairies that are easy to cut out..
Upto you if you want to use it. :D

What's wrong with your current one? It's signature perfection!Quote:

Goldney, omg yeah I know it's quite perfect. :? I just need a change! Ahhhh dunno what to do.
I must agree. I had the pleasure and the arrogance of editing it, and I must agree it's a great sig. A fairy, a tale in cursive, a name. Simplicity, delicacy. Art.Quote:

Hehe! :cheeky: Dammit you guys! Okay fine, can I get a color change or something? Honestly, it's stagnating.
Are landscapes ok?
I might have an idea.
Sweet, that's easy enough so that even I can try something. :boogie:Quote:

Haha this reminds me I have a folder on my pc filled with Mes avys and sigs. I guess they reproduce on their own there.
btw mes I made the red signature you asked but you never replied lol
-----------------------
Tomorow, free afternoon. Then I'll try my artistic rungs on a new sig for Mes. For now, let's behold the amusement of different coloured sigs. They're like different coloured Yoshis xD

Anyone feel up to a Taosaur sig? Anything incorporating maybe a dinosaur image (not a raptor, but maybe a t-rex or one of the big herbivores) with some kind of black/white yin-and-yang theme would be great.
Maybe incorporate any one of these quotes:
Alternately, something with a lizard by a roadside and the text: Taosaur Lizard of the Way.Quote:

ps. How did you do to change the color of just "Mes Tarrant" and the fairy clothing? I assume you're using photoshop, but would it be similar on GIMP? And yes... I'm a complete newb on these picture applications.
GIMP?
That's not nearly as good as Photoshop.
Get Photoshop! :D
Photoshop costs money. GIMP free! :D
Thanks Kromoh!! :D Yeah I got that PM, but at that time I was I think already contemplating getting rid of the avvy all together. Meh. But thanks! And yeah I already have these color changed ones saved on my computer. Hehe I had forgotten what a variety you gave me!
Thanks tyrantt!! :D Omg that last one is beautiful.. brings a tear to my eye.
Edit: Whoa, 3 :D 's in one post. Ohhh wait, that makes 4. I must really like this smiley or something.
:D :D :D :D :D :D
kromoh, I love the silver one it's gorgeous
I'll see what I can work up for Mes and Taosaur, if I have any free time. I still have to finish a story. Got three pages to write tonight. :(
Well, I actually have an erm... free copy of photoshop. :PQuote:

I've actually read that GIMP can be just as powerful as photoshop. The only difference is that the interface might be a little bit different. According to what I read, most people who are used to photoshop don't like GIMP because it's a bit foreign to them, a little bit different to work on. Feature-wise, though, GIMP is just as rich as photoshop... according to what I read.Quote:

tyrrant, I'll explain it simple:
First, you select only the bits that you wanna change. Then, you invert the selection, and copy those onto a new layer. You will have:
- pic with holes on the parts that you want changed
- base pic
Then, you create a colour adjust layer, just above the base layer. That way, it will change the colour of the whole pic, but then the topmost layer will correct the parts that you don't want changed:
- layer to mask what you don't want changed
- colour adjusting layer, making the fairy the way you want it to, but messing up the rest
- base pic: pink fairy, black background
If you want to e.g. change the hair to a set of colour and the dress to another one, there may be various ways of doing it. But I myself recommend doing it in two steps. First you do the step above with the dress, save the image into one layer, and then do the same process to adjust the hair.
Note that this is surely not the only way of doing it. Things like this are like a language: there are thousand ways of saying the same thing. You just need to know a bit of gammar and be creative.
Interesting. Thanks a lot Kromoh. That short tutorial makes sense... now I have maybe two or three screwdrivers and a hammer in my GIMP toolset. :D
I'll play around with GIMP a bit more today if I get some free time and get familiar with those new little tools. :boogie:

Hey, how do you guys make Sigs?
With Adobe Photoshop or GIMP.
GIMP is free.
Photoshop costs a lot but that's okay if you know what torrents are. :D
Oh, and a hell of a lot of tutorials.
We use image editing software like photoshop, or GIMP. Some people are real good with those programs... I'm just practicing it a bit. Oh, and GIMP is free, so you can try it out.
By the way, you don't have to use that sig, I just did it for kicks. I know it looks really odd and senseless, and I know that's not exactly what you had in mind. I know it looks very uhm... flamboyant. :D
You can still use it, but don't feel obligated to. I won't feel the least bad if you don't. :P
Lol. I did think it looked weird, 'cause when I said a jar, I meant those old water jars, liek the one Greeks use. And when I said glove, I meant like a leather glove, like in fantasy stories, and the blade from the glove, I meant thinner, like a dagger. Plus, the eye looked just like a red dot. :p I meant something like my avatar. ANd the clothes...it's oaky, I guees,lol.
XD It's exactly what you asked for :mwahaha:Quote:

Hope I'm not stepping on anyones toes by trying to fill this request... I just wanted to give it a try....

I also made a matching avatar...

Damn Pathways. That sig/avatar looks pretty badass man. :D
The fractal ones that is. The one you're using looks pretty nice too. I like the "lonely adventurous road" feel to it.
An adventurous PATH maybe? LOL
Yeah... I made that in MSWord and screencapped it... then cropped it in Paint.... the adjusted levels in MSPicture Manager...
I have Photoshop CS3... I just don't use it for simple stuff... its just too complicated.
wait.... what??? :shock:Quote:

be sure to tell me what you think... or if anyone thinks i could somehow make a banner animation from them maybe that would be cool...
I really love them all! So brilliantly made! The pics themselves are great, but if you allow me the compliment, I love the way you chose the fonts for each banner. They really fit right with each pic. Genius. 10/10
I am undecided between those. They're all awesome each in its own way.
I wonder if i can make them into a animated .GIF does anyone know how to do that... I think having it as a mini slideshow would be pretty cool...
and yeah I have 1000's of fonts on my computer... the first step to a great design is a good font...
I like all of those sigs Path. They all do look amazing. :D
I think I'm leaning more towards the picture number 2, the one in the center. The other two are a bit of a tie.
I made this for austin... we were in the chat at night and I thought he might enjoy it :)
here's the avatar
http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...stinavatar.png
and here is the banner..
http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...stinbanner.png
Thanks pathway for the cool avatar!
Pathways, I don't mean to be rude but all you seem to be doing is putting text on a picture without adding a border, text effects or anything.
Are you using Photoshop?
He explained what he's doing. Twice. Reading Is Fundamental.Quote:

I'd think a combination of the top image and the font from the second banner would be just about perfect, though. And yeah, it needs a nice slim border.
My sig is technically just a hair over the size limit vertically too, now that you mention it, I think, but I change 'em monthly anyway, so might as well wait until the first now.
You could always resize it. :DQuote:

yeah some of the banners i made for myself are just text on pictures but for example tausaurs required a good bit of editing and no i don't use photoshop... to high of a learning curve... i'm not fond of those 1 pixel black borders... i don't know why anyone does...
my current banner is a picture i took.... and with a name like pathways.... it isn't really appropriate to do too much... i mean some of these avatars spent a long time on embossed text and glow effects... i can do those... i choose not to... i enjoy simplicity...
It would be nice to have a sig with Alucard from the hellsing show
pm me if you make me one please .
thanks,

If anyone is up to taking in requests at the moment I'd much appreciate having an avatar and sig made for me.
For the Avatar:
-I'd like a headshot of a wolf with a gentle "zenlike" feel to it (I've saved the base for the one I'm currently using here http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/ima...07d9e95996.jpg) with the eyes edited to be a luminous green (The one I'm using was done in MS-paint and I'm thinking it doesn't look entirely professional)
For the Sig:
-I'm thinking of a 500x125-ish landscape scene of a Forest with a pond or stream of sorts. It should have a cool damp atmosphere and dark-hued folliage (Sort of like this: http://www.vineland.org/history/pr_festival/pond98.jpg)
with Emerald Wolf (Wolf stacked below Emerald) done in Emerald to Forest green writing in the top lefhand corner with the phrase "Every breath of air a blessing, Every drop of water a gift" perhaps done along the bottem in a smaller size (Though I'm not sure what font I'm after... maybe something that looks engraved?)
Other than that I wouldn't mind alternate suggestions as to what might look better or be easier to implement. Thanks in advance to anyone that would take the time to help me out.
hows this, Emerald Wolf?
Attachment 722
EDIT: I don't know why, but you have to click on it to see it full sized. I probably uploaded it wrong. proves how much of a noob I am. :?
Hey thats pretty neat maniakalBycikle, I think the gothic font works rather well. One small point though... I'm not so sure if the stream is as promonent as I was hoping for but other than that its wonderfull.
glad it works :goodjob2:
I'm still sorta learning photoshop so I'm trying to do more stuff for practice.
Holy freaking CRAP, man! You took that picture? That is an absolutely amazing photo! The color, the lighting, the composition...spectacular. What camera did you use, if you don't mind my asking? I'm buying my first DSLR sometime in the next few months.Quote:

i made it grunge to match your avatar, and im assuming you wanted your name in it as well. probably could have done a better job, this was pretty quick.

With the words forgotenmemory on one side, dorpis on the other side. ANd DreamCatchers at the bottom.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j2...550/biosig.jpg
This is the image I need for my next sig. I want as much as that as can be scaled and fit cleanly within the sig limits. If you're going to cut something, cut the shotgun... try to retain both arms, especially the bloodied one.
I want AspiR somewhere, in letters much like these... http://www.2kgames.com/cultofrapture/img/headerTop.jpg Perhaps the letters should be bloodied somewhat, rusted... and if not that, then back to the colors in the sig I have right now. I want them to be distinguishable, though. And it must be AspiR. Capital R.
Besides that, have fun with it. Anyone who feels they wanna take this up, may... I liked Goldney's work before, and Steel's pretty sharp as well.
