worm82075 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I'm not trying to step on your toes here, Septim. My style is completely different from yours and after making a few without the knowledge of the people I made them for, I thought it would be nice to get some requests. They all seemed to like them and If some of you like my style as well, then request one of your own. I like to make each one unique so please don't ask me to make a carbon copy of someone else's sig with your name altered into it. You can tell me exactly what you want or you can tell me what your into and I will create a sig with the appropriate elements included. If you have a lengthy profile such as me I can probably draw everything I need(no pun intended) from there. Also keep in mind folks that my style is not pregenerated and requires alot of hand painting, so I can't crank these out at the rate Septim does. Depending on the complexity, It will take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete so please be patient after I have excepted your work. Don't get the wrong idea, these are not drawn completely from hand, but hand painting is required in many cases to blend the elements seamlessly. I have a lot of fun working with PhotoShop 7, so if you would like to just talk about an idea and not necessarily request a sig then by all means, spill it and thank you all. I also do avatars by the way. Just to give you an idea how long one of my pieces takes, I have included an estimate with each one.EDIT: Now fully compatible with Internet ExplorerMy Portfolio:about 3 hrshttp://i32.tinypic.com/ojqsyg.jpgabout 2 hrshttp://i28.tinypic.com/2qk30d4.jpgabout 3-4 hrshttp://i31.tinypic.com/dfkkdy.jpgabout 6 hrshttp://i26.tinypic.com/2u6e9tz.jpgabout 4 hrshttp://i27.tinypic.com/kegfnl.jpgabout 5 hrshttp://i27.tinypic.com/29lfy39.jpgabout 10 hrshttp://i30.tinypic.com/imsad1.png I have the most fun translating monikers into native languages and if that is not possible then real names translated to their meaning in any language. Also I think it is quite appropriate to include your native countries' flag and/or shape, but to each his/her own. EDIT: Here is a html font book of all of my currently installed fonts in the form of a self extracting 7zip archive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samroski Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Hey. Great offer- that I find difficult to refuse. Septim made one for me a few days ago and I love it. What I like about yours is the transparent background. If you have the time and inclination I would appreciate if you could work on one for me with a transparent background. Doom 1 is my all time favourite game, Pink Floyd is my favourite band, I love 3D level designing (made tons of levels for quake 1), play the guitar, love cooking, love teaching- all that may give you some inspiration- though I am not finicky about things, and would be grateful for any time that you can spare for me. The only thing is that I do like my current signature- and I hope you would understand if I do not instantly switch to the one you make for me. In fact I feel a bit awkward making this request- as Septim may feel that I do not appreciate his work... (life is tough) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninja_lord666 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Yeah, I hate the one I have now; whoever made it sucks. I like that sword you showed, though. Maybe something like that? ;D Just kidding! I love the sig. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worm82075 Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 Alright Chingun, here it is, I added the lich king's undead faction insignia to round out the empty space created by his cloak. I hope you like it and if you would like any changes made let me know here because my inbox is getting rather cluttered.http://i25.tinypic.com/2nbufrd.png Samroski, that is my favorite kind of request as that lets me be very creative. I'll get started right after I finish with the one I'm doing now. Ninja Lord, just be glad I did not put fruity little shuriken star bursts around your name.

leetgamer Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Very nice.. but perhaps if you could add a background, and enlargen the sig to the current one I have. That white bothers me, and , if the two could be also shown more nearer, like, to see their faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Septim741 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Very nice.. but perhaps if you could add a background, and enlargen the sig to the current one I have. That white bothers me, and , if the two could be also shown more nearer, like, to see their faces. Ah, I was afraid of that. Worm, you've made a horrible error. Obviously you don't have Internet Explorer. PNGs support transparency and partial transparency in just about every browser except internet explorer. In IE everything that was transparent or partially transparent shows up as plain white. Instead, most graphics that require transparency are, in fact, GIFs. That's another problem. GIFs are good except for one thing: they're indexed. This simply means that the entire image is restricted to 255 colors, which can make things difficult. Techniques like dithering can help there. Even worse, GIFs only support fully transparent and fully opaque colors. You cannot have partial transparency. Such is the cost of having all your images available on all browsers. So everywhere that is transparent in everything you've made, so far, has shown up as an ugly white in a good majority of viewers' eyes. You'll have to go back and re-save the ones you've already made and hope for the best. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But all you did was cut out a picture and put my name on it. As i saw the official blizzard logo on the bottom right. Sorry again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worm82075 Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 Worm, you've made a horrible error. Obviously you don't have Internet Explorer. I have Internet Explorer, but like most people who have been using windows for longer than the current version has been out(1 year), I don't use it. Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player, Live Messenger and MSN are all taboo for any experienced Windows user. These programs have so many errors in their programing that anyone that uses them is playing with fire and you will get burned eventually. The only time you should use IE is to update Windows. The only error I made was not specifying my need to know if you are using Internet Explorer. If your are and you refuse to use the best browser on the planet, Mozzila FireFox, which just happens to be free, then I have no sympathy for your stupidity. I will still make sigs for those of you living in the past, but you will have to tell me your using IE. With the exception of Chingun, anyone who requests a sig and does not specify this from the beginning is going to be ass out of gas for a redo. If you want to enjoy my sigs the way I like to make them, then get FireFox and stop d***ing around with an inferior browser. Seriously people, WAKE THE F*** UP and at least pretend you know something about sidesteping Windows inherent problems. If this has been a wakeup call for you and you want to know more about this urgent matter concerning your computer then go to AskWoody.com and buy one of his Window's for Dummies books. If you can not afford it then PM me, while I can not legally give you one of his books, I can tell you what they say. I have been following his advice for over two years and not once has Windows crashed on me and I have now applied the XP knowledge gained from Woody to my new Vista operating system and have yet to have a problem. So, just to recap Microsft Internet Explorer, Bad. Mozilla FireFox, Good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Septim741 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Okay, but you're alienating those who might be neglecting that truth. Not very diplomatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
