Avatar, Signature, & Wallpaper Request Thread

[Infinite Zero]

I might help in making. Just when I feel like it but I'll eventually create sigs

 

[KingdomBlade]

I think I'm getting better at effect making. I'm bad with C4D's, but I can help with anyone who wants a sig that doesn't involve added effects but rather making a picture stand out in a unique way and also wants something more, fresh, I guess. Something that could involve a more different approach that doesn't involve renders that much. I do better with stock images. I can do renders, but I prefer stocks.

Actually, the only reason that I requested a sig in the first place was because I doubted my skills in this thing. It turns out I'm improving ever so slightly and this would be great practice for me.

The signature below me is actually very heavily edited from the original. I had to use Content-Aware Scale a lot, experimenting with a bunch of filters, Dodging and burning, and noticeable splatter brushes.

Sorry, I already made one so you dont have to make me one anymore. But I do hope that you will comment on the one I made. (even though I know it's not very good).

EDIT: Oops! Double post, sorry.

AGH! I'm sorry I was taking sooo long...

Things just came up one after another so I didn't have too much time...

But I started it I swear!
But at least you have a great one that is self-made!

Always feels good to put one up you made yourself huh?

^I think he means the font

Ah, well in that case I use a font tool and type out the words using it (in Visitor BRK if you haven't noticed yet =P), and I then add effects to the font such as dropping shadow and embossing and stuffs...soo ya....

and whats this font tool,
maybe i can help making ava and sig too...

 

[Infinite Zero]

In Photoshop it's called the TEXT TOOL

I mostly like to put a border on my fonts but on my sig I wont because I want to keep it plain and simple.
If you want to have a floating effect, It's good to put a drop shadow.

Also, if your'e gonna make sigs, I recommend downloading a few more fonts.

http://dafont.com

Also, try to play with the text settings, for example, the text layer could have a different opacity, the one that lets it blend with the colors of the rest of the image (forgot the opacity setting). Try to use a shadow effect or possibly even bolden it. Remember to always sharpen everything (make a new layer and apply the image first). It will make it look better 90% of the time.

To get a good color, a good technique is to add a gradient layer and set it to soft light and low opacity. You can also use color balance but it's slightly harder to figure out. Use the smudge tool also to make different parts of the sig blend together.

Adjust the light using a soft brush set to white and low opacity. If you want additional color, I recommend a splatter brush, as it spreads and fits to nearly everything. (Google Splatter Brushes)

Wow, it's almost like I made a mini-tutorial or something.

Adding to the text detail:
Personally, I find text to be more suitable if they are closer to the focal and simpler. Anything crazy and chaotic or something that doesn't match the overall style of the sig can draw WAY too much attention away from your main focal (leading to flow gaps, decomposition, etc).

Mixing up multiple fonts in one setting can be nice too. Really, it's all about experimenting.
I.e., in a Spacey sig, use Tech font. In a fashion/girl render, use cursive. These are all simply examples of the mindset one should try using.

Lastly, sometimes you don't want text at all. ONLY USE TEXT IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE TO. Don't let text additions be an obligation to every project. There are times where outcomes will look better without any sort of text. Don't always use your own name either. Maybe pick keywords to sum up your sig (or do both

).

Like any arrangement of the characters? And do you want your username in it?

 

[Infinite Zero]

I made here just the way you said it in the description.

Just tell me if you'd like to have more changes in the positioning 'cause you weren't precise.
Cheers on my first avatar for others!

I need an Ava done, since I am a Boktai fan, I need a split image of Django with Otenko on the left, and Sabata with the moon on the right. As far as the Sig, a Jazz Jackrabbit with Sonic in it will be nice. Thank you,

 

[KingdomBlade]

Only the avatar for now. I wasn't really sure about split image so I just made one of those split faces in half things. The quality got messed up slightly but it's not that noticeable. It would have been seriously messed up if I tried to fit a whole image in half an avatar. It's not very good so I feel that your'e not gonna use it, but I tried my best.

@elshanoa - Photoshop can be used for text. It has a text tool that creates a new layer when you make a bit of text. You can then select that layer and add effects like Stroke, outer glow, inner glow, emboss and satin.

@Viztard

Do you EVER get TIRED?

 

[EpicJungle]

Someone make me buttons for my siggy?
Mario themed.. Thanks!

 

[Scott-105]

Could someone make me an avatar similar to the one I have now? I tried to make it myself, but as you can see, it kind of failed. So yeah, Persona 3 themed please!
