So I decided to create a topic to gather all the work I've done for the MMO Champion forum users.
Recently I started to take part in the topic Request a Signature, so that's the reason I've been creating them.
The aim of the topic is just about making requests and linking the artwork, but not about commenting them and giving tips or advices.
That's what I'm looking for in here. I'd like you all to suggest me improvements, things that I could change, typefaces that I could use, etc.
I've improved a lot since I started the first signature, and since I tried the transparency effect, putting more emphasis on the character, I decided to always go that way.
(You can see the first signatures being the plain square).
So that's it. Let the criticism begin.
Big Edit Incoming;
I didn't really thought I had to do this, but the amount of PMs is just too much for my working rhythm..
I started doing it for fun and I'll keep doing it for fun. I'd like to make signatures for everyone, but I just
find it unfair that someone that requests with two sentences and a link gets the same treatment as a
person who wrote a lot of ideas, references and material for me to work with. If you put your effort, then
I'll put mine. From now on, I'll just skip poor requests to be fair with everyone, eventhough I'll try to reply
every PM to let you know if it got me enough attracted.
So I'm going to make an example of how I'd like a request to work with:
How do I want a Request?
- Armory Link / Decent Screenshot
As of right now, I can't access WoW Model Viewer, so I'll need a picture to work with.
With the Armory Link I can make limited poses and only current gear, so keep this in mind.
And I will only use SSs that are in high resolution or well defined.
WoW Model Viewer SSs are more than welcome, and if the character is already cutted even better. Faster work, faster sig.
- Basic information I need to know. As more as you give, it will be easier for me and better for you.
Text. What text has to be in the signature. Make sure it's clear.
Font. Any font preference? Ask for anything and I'll check.
Background. What's in the background? General theme of the signature.
Color. Main color scheme you would like to appear.
Shape. What shape do you like most or what kind of edges do you want on it.
Pose. If you want the character to be in some kind of special pose. (keep in mind first point)
Situation. Character on right or left? Text up or down? Where do I put this and that?
- Additional information.
What else can you say that helps me? Any special effect or idea you want to be in the signature?
Ask for anything you'd like and I'll answer if it's possible or either too difficult.
- References.
If you link references like older signatures I've done it's much easier to see what you're looking for.
Also linking background pictures you like, music you listen to, etc. Everything helps.
Request example.
Armory link / SS: http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sh...um&cn=Massacre
Text: Only my name. Massacre.
Font: I love the Metal Macabre one. Like in this sig: http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/13/vercian5.png
Background: A bit absract but naturish background.
Color: Green/turquoise color scheme. Tone down the color of the armor.
Shape: Spiky edges like this sig: http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/3...ndinshade4.png
Pose: The pointing position would be good. Like pointing to my own name.
Situation: Character on left side and name next to it in the right side.
Additional information:
I'd like you to try to make like if the shape of the sig splashes behind my character.
Is it possible? Like if the background follows up through the body.
