View Full Version : Making Signatures...for FREE

But there's a catch. I am making signatures for free, it's true. I am making them for anyone. No one get's special treatment, no one get's faster results. But like I said, there is a catch.

I will only make signatures if the requests intrigue me. I will make signatures if I am allowed artistic freedom. I will make signatures that challenge me, but not to the point that the final product will suffer and look forced.

There is no limit to what you can ask me to do. I will also do things for outside of this forum if you need bigger sizes. However, there are some things I will ignore and not do:

- a stock photo with a name on it.
- a bunch of pictures smashed together in a cluster of artistic vomit.
- a request with a render, a stock, a color, and font, and a style.
- something with horribly clashing colors
- "outer space nebula signatures" (not saying I won't use space designs, but I will not use just a nebula)
- anything that I do not think will look good as a finished product.

Those are vague guidelines. I am not glorifying myself as a fantastic signature artist, in fact I am quite out of practice and am doing these for free because I haven't worked with signature techniques in months now. I am putting these guidelines out because I see lots of signature artists these days who just kind of throw things together in 20 minutes. My signatures take hours, sometimes days (mostly in part because I'm slow lol :p).

Again, don't take this as me being conceited. I know I am good, but I know there are people who are lightyears better than me.

Make a request, if I like it, I'll begin working on it in my free time. Do not ask me when it will be finished or how it's going...I'll let you know. My past clients know that I am very vocal when I'm working on a project. If you post a request and I ignore it or tell you to try again, please feel free to do so, but please also wait at least a day if other people are showing interest. Thanks!


Let's get started.

Please also give me SOME direction. Even just 1 thing, like a theme, or a color scheme. I will gladly make it up from scratch, but don't be upset if you don't like it in the end :p

Reserved for uploads.

Flowman

Lowly - I'm not much of a drawer, so if I were to do this I'd use renders and mash them up...but I'll consider it. I have an awesome idea for this, but I don't think I'd be able to draw it. Would look awesome as a pixelated MS paint signature. (Old school sig artists will know what I mean.)

PL Playa - Not really something I'd do, Explosions themselves are too vague to be a main theme. Maybe if I were Michael Bay...maybe. Try to think of something more specific...without getting too specific.

Cahaun - My thread from last year should still be on the forums. I want to say it was something with a spider?

Hehe here's a challenge for ya Flow. Kirby (from the video game) in the Michael Jackson smooth criminal white suit. Everything else you have complete freedom with ^_^

check this idea, it came to me right away:

Background: Jack the Ripper era city streets...jack the ripper themed setting. Foggy, narrow alley, but the although the alleyway get brighter as you move back further into the background, it also gets a litte clearer. Tall buildings on either side of the alley, but at the focal point near the end, the skyline in just barely visible. The left side wall extends all the way to the back of the sig. The right side wall stops a little before, allowing the skyline to continue to the right, as well as the street where the alley would intersect, showing that you can make a right hand turn here.

Foreground: Some form of crime...bloody dagger and an outstretched hand...a body...doesn't matter, just has to be a crime.

Main focal: Your white suited MJ Kirby, slightly ducking around that right turn, but not enough to hide the eyes, with the eyes darting towards the viewer with a menacing, yet vivid stare. The kind of stare that says "what're you going to do about it." Kirby would have a cape, though not part of the original outfit, the cape would be used to show movement, as the character is meant to be escaping around the corner.

If you can picture that in your head, then my work is done. If anyone (cough Redryder cough) with artistic ability in freehand drawing and pixel drawing would like to collab with me on this, feel free to sketch it out and we'll go from there.




PS - this is the kind of thinking I put in to every signature people :D

Yeahh it is my sentiments exactly on both of these threads.

Ladies, Flow is an oooold friend and he is good at what he does, as are the both of you. There is no reason to put him down simply because he acknowledges his own skill at sigs, that's like badmouthing people who say "yeah i'm decent at pvp" when they really are good at pvp.

I can assure you with the utmost confidence that Flow, in no way, meant to disrespect the two of you. He simply gave people a bit more variety to chose from when having someone make a sig for them. Let's all let bygons be bygons and be friends here ^_^

Calm down Lowl, let's not make it sound like something that it's not.

There is nothing wrong with a little healthy competition.

"More of a variety" ?
ha ha with the signature limits STS has on our signatures there isn't a whole lot more that you can do than us.

I never mentioned any names when I said "some sig artists throw together work in 20 minutes" so if you all took offense to that, those are your insecurities, not mine.
I'm just saying that anyone can follow a tutorial on PSDtuts or throw text on a page over a image...I spend a lot of time on my work...ask Silentarrow and Lowly...I think they waited like 2 weeks for their sigs.

As for variety....yeah, I've got that. Some of these are stemmed off tutorials, some are done completely out of the depths of my mind.

I have an idea for this.
After I finish the first request, I'll do some searching/sketching. If I can make it work,I'll do it.

Mrsberry - lol you need to relax girl, you're taking every thing I say as a personal attack. You're right, 2 weeks was because I was kind of lazy. But I was also a full time college student working a part time job...which then transitioned into a college graduate with a full time job. I spend time searching for the right background...or even making my own backgrounds. Searching for the right render(s). Finding the right font that fits. Then I do a paper prototype. Then I rearrange. Then I do a final sketch. Then I start placing things in photoshop. Then I spend a few hours in photoshop. My signature I did for Snippet...I had 3 "failed" signatures that I actually uploaded when I posted the original post months ago. Just showing people it's not all done in 1 go. Just relax, I never attacked you and I never will.

Art - cheers love <3. No hard feelings, I get very upset when people attack my work, so I know how you felt. I'll never attack people who put time into their work. As long as they're happy with it and the effort shows, it's art(Star). See what I did there?

Ha ha no worries then my bad, maybe you can teach me a thing or two sometime like Kahlua wanted!

By the way, about mine and Mrsberry's signatures we have equipped. In case you were wondering, lol no we aren't advertising each others shops because of you. We had been planning this for a couple days now, because of Mitch's competition people thought we didn't like each other. So we wanted to show that we are in fact friends and aren't competing.

Lol I didn't even think anything of it, I'm making sigs for practice because honestly...I missed doing them.
It's the reason for all my guidelines and all my nonsense...I know what I'm capable of doing and I like challenges. I don't want to pump out name sigs because I already know I can do that. If these 2 requests I get are the only ones...so be it, I have 2 great ideas for them and I'm excited to see what I can come up with...or if I break my macbook or not...heh.

As for pointers, if you have any questions or want to do a collaborative effort on a sig (as in you do the main stuff and I do the font and dont details, or vise versa, or whatever...) hit me up. I'd love to work with you.

You must be kahlua's infamous brother I have heard so much about back now that finals are over?

Anyways I have a request.

My color scheme is- red (prefer thick and dark bloody tones), black, and bone (and or grittier shades of each)

My theme is- Carnage, Body Parts, and my little pony. (pinky pie would be great!)

For the Font I would like something stylishly contemporary.

10653

Here is the background I made for a personal sig in the past. Hopefully, this will help depict more of my style and get your muse juices Flowing.(pun completely intended)

10657

This is what I would like to have as the focal image. Just pinkiepie in the foreground I could careless about the background the guts are also very important to me. Could you possibly make the outiline co outside the sig square a little bit?

I forgot to mention the text I want included: My name (Aculeas) My Guilds Name: SparklingPwnes the initials AoC and Officer

No one has been able to create this for me yet :(

Aculeas - I think you missed the whole "I'd like some freedom, please don't request every aspect of the sig" part of my original post lol :p But since you say no one else could do this, I'll see what I can do. It'll have to be background reliant since the foreground and focal points are already completely defined (more or less). Gonna be hard to fit that into a 100 pixel height...but I'll see what I can think up.

I have the idea I want completely drawn out in my head. I know exactly what I want to do...only it's not exactly what you wanted. This is the artistic freedom I was talking about. I can give you ice. I can give you blues, reds, and blacks. But I cannot give you gore.

If this is ok with you, then I'll begin collecting my materials.

Give me a few days to complete this one, since the renders I want to use have to be very specific in order for them to layer well.

If you do a bit of smudging and play with blending options, you can get rid of all that pixelization around things(in this case the pony).

yeah what he said.

Either do a cleaner cut with the pen tool, or make a few layers of the pony, smudge one out a bit and change the blend mode, layer over it with another with neater smudging on the edges and then layer over it with an overlay of the sam image...should look the same, only without the rough edges.

hmm ok. Like I said earlier, this is one area I'm a little....rough?...in. I wish I was good with 8 bit, sprites, pixel sigs, that whole genre. I love those pastel looking cel shaded sigs. I'll definitely give this one a shot, thanks for the challenge.

I feel like Redryder would be good at this, I've seen some of his drawings. I'll see if I can work something out with him to help me with this one.

Hmmm... So you all prefer blurry images to pixel sharp images? I can see why no one likes my Style now.
Thanks. I won't be troubling you Signature makers again. After I finish a few more sharp looking Signatures I won't grace my ugly work on these forums again.

Thanks again so much and well I don't need to wish you luck. Your already the Bawz.
Peace. Hugs and Kisses. Much Respect.
Enjoy. I will have more free time to myself :-)

Flowman
05-12-2012, 05:49 PM
It's not that people don't enjoy pixel sharp images, it's that when images are cut from backgrounds, it's almost impossible to get the exact curves and angles cut out. It takes a real professional to make clean cut renders. It's the main reason why I usually search for pre-cut renders, because cutting them out is such a pain.

The reason people prefer the "blurry" edges is because it's more visually fluid. When an object with very sharply defined edges is placed over another image that takes up the entire background, or even over just another render, the two compete from focal attention. The reason you blur the edges of an image is to give it the appearance that it is not just an image placed over another image, but rather part of the entire picture. You blend it in so it becomes a seamless transition. Do you understand?

You also blend the backgrounds of images to add depth to your pictures. If you have 2 sharp images next to each other, say, a man standing in front of a house, it gives the appearance that the man and the house are at the same focal distance from the viewer, and that the man is basically one with the house. However, should you blur the house a little bit...get rid of some of that focus, it gives the appearance of distance. A blurred house with a finely focused man in front makes us think the man is close to us, but the house is in the distance. It draws our attention to the man, but lets us notice that there is in fact a house BEHIND him.

Right now I'm having a lot of trouble controling my emotions due to the side effects of coming off em.

Sorry to go off topic, but I just feel like telling you all. Seeing your quote above has made me feel really happy (even have tears of happiness)

Thanks again and I really understand now.

You'll get through it man, my dad suffers from the same thing and it's sad to see. I've gone through withdrawals of prescription meds before (was actually prescribed them, not abusing) and it made me very bipolar as well, so don't worry about it :).

But I agree, let's keep the talk about signatures here. If you need someone to talk to when you're feeling bad/sad/weird/upset/whatever, shoot me a message, I know all about what's going on chemically up in that brain of yours, so we can talk it out.


Anyways, back to the signatures! Thanks for the interest people, I have a relatively free week coming up so expect to see a few of these done by Friday :D

@mitch
I wouldn't say its so much blurry vs sharp as smooth vs grainy. Found an example of where I did it to a person. Bit hard to see with the background, but:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/76414288/pics/text.jpg
Like a half finished project, but I think it's a OK example of doing it to hair. With people, if you don't do it, generally it ends up with blotches of background stuck to their hair(or chucks of hair missing). So it's not as necessary on other things, but for people or things with tiny amounts of detail, I think its a very nice touch.

Looking forward to seeing all of your guys' work!

Good example. The left side looks good, right side near the ear is a little fuzzed/orange and stands out against the bridge (I know you said half finished). Otherwise, good blend. His facial tone matches the background nice as well.

Is that for this forum? Because if it is...it's waaaaaay too big lol.

Had done it a while ago for fun, got bored, said it was finished, lol. I generally work with images much bigger, and downsize later, just so I can see what I'm doing.

I tried starting big and going small...didn't work well for me. I wish I could have a 500 x 200/250...hell even 300 pixel limit with 100-200kb size limit....oh lord the things I could do.

Can't agree more. Also actually wanted animated gifs, but that could so easily be abused. PM'd the devs once about size, and got something like "spacetime encourages users to make all the modification they want, as long as their signature image is still under 15kb in size".

Gave this (bit.ly/forparth) to Parth earlier(its a shocker, be warned. loud and flashy), and people could easily do stuff like that to their sigs.

yeah I brought it up to Sam a long long time ago. Had to scrap a bunch of sigs I made because converting them from PSD files to 15kb Jpeg was just murdering the quality, especially around the fonts. I think he said something about stretching the forum length and bandwidth or something. But it's not all that bad I guess, at least we get to have signatures...just gonna have a lot of face renders lol.

I'm terrible with animation. I have photoshop, C4D, and illustrator...but I won't touch animation. Just can't get the hang of it.

Ok just an update.

I have all the materials I need for Frzen's sig. I am also working on one for myself since mine is...outdated. Talked with Illuminate in game, worked out a sig for him. Have a decent amount on my plate atm, will try to work faster/harder than I usually do.

Thank you all for the interest and for allowing me interesting themes to practice with. I won't let you down.

I would like to begin working on this for you but first tell me what you think of this render. If you like it I shall move forward with my plan if not I won't move forward with the project. Unless you can find me a render you like... it's up to you really. This is right up my alley sooo the offers on the table :)

Almost done Frzen.
Expect a finished product by tomorrow :D.

Been playing Diablo 3 though...so if I can't finish it tomorrow, I'm gone all weekend, so it'll be done by Sunday at the latest.
Sorry for the wait, restarted it a few times because I didn't like some parts.

I thought of something, Flow. Lately I fell in love with some Resident Evil characters:
Barry Burton and his quotes
The Merchant
It'd be great to see Barry or The Merchant on my signature. I know you like to think of a design so have at it! :D

Hey Flowman, Mars here. I am willing to pay you for your services (in-game) if you are still doing this. Oh and Btw you can do whatever the hell you want with the sig. My only opinion is to make it somewhat outerwordly/cosmos like. That is all :)

Hey! :)
I'm looking for a new sig, and from what I've seen, yours are the best around. So anyway, on to my request:
I'd like a pwnie, but with vampire features? I'd like it to be based solely around dark legends, so it has to be dark, but I'd also like it to be colourful like pwnies. I'm not very creative, so exact things for me are way too hard for me to think of. Maybe just text that says vampyr and sparkling pwnies in a Vampire-ish font.
Hope your interested :D

EDIT: maybe put this image in it if you decide to make it

Update:

Well as some of you may recall I was gone all weekend at the Electric Diasy Carnival Music Festival in New Jersey. Took me like 3 days to recover physically and mentally from the face melting music. However, when I returned, I was offered a deal to make a shirt design for my friends clothing company. Unfortunately this means I haven't had time to work on any sigs really. However, Frzen's is more or less 100% done...just need to do the final edits and color corrections.

That will be online by the end of the week. My shirt design needs to be done by Monday, so after that I have nothing on my plate.
Thank you Frzen for being patient, I promise I haven't forgotten about you lol.

Since Flowman is not going to make signatures anymore...is anyone else available to do them? Since Flowman isn't doing it anymore this thread should probably be archived so it can't be bumped anymore.
