Okay, so I'm in the mood for some GFX and would love to create sigs for others using content that I wouldn't usually find. Anime, manga and game images are my favourite to work with.

I don't tend to rush my work so pieces may take about a week, but I'm more than happy to attempt any request and will do my best with each.

Here are some of my personal favourite pieces so far. :ryan:

Oh, and here's a template for your post. It would be great if you could use it so I can make a sig you'll really like. If you're not fussed about something or are happy for me to decide based on what seems best, just put that!

Image:
Colour/s:
Effect/feel: (e.g. glossy, grainy, rough, sparkly)
Text: (the words you'd like me to include)
Size: (roughly speaking)

Would you object if I was your first customer? :britt:

Colour/s: I'd leave this up to you, mmmyes. Although a soft pink or blue would be my preference~
Effect/feel: Sparkly, if you please. Similar to the Serah banner, if possible~
Text: N/A (if you think of something suitable, by all means add it in there...my brain isn't functioning properly at the moment)
Size: Uh, around 450 x 250, perhaps? Or bigger, if you'd prefer. xD

Please and thankyou? :jess:

Lirael · Feb 10, 2012

Pleased to oblige and that is a LOVELY image!

I'll start on this one tomorrow, I think. :ryan:

Martel · Feb 11, 2012

*has many similar images to that one*

Take your time, no rush, etc. Thanks in advance, looking forward to seeing how it turns out :ryan:

@Tootoria Helmold

What do you think?

I made sure to keep the colours soft.

I added a few further effects on top but it started to look a little messy, partially 'cause of the flowers which I really wanted to keep in the piece (they're so pretty!)

If you want the text changing, that's fine. I was kinda pleased with the font though. :yay:

I was experimenting and as soon as I found that, I said 'ooooh.' :jess:

Where are these images from btw?

Edit: took another look and thought I'd provide a slightly deeper, darker version too.

Martel · Feb 15, 2012

Oooh

I like how that's turned out, the blue complements the image nicely. Thank you! :yay:

The text appeals to the shipper in me, as well. Will say no more than that. xD

I have a couple of resources for high quality artwork/renders, I'll PM them to you~

JasonsBasement · Feb 15, 2012

I have got to find some images for you! These are all great!

Raiiyokuu · Feb 16, 2012

Time for me to request a set.

Image: http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2...ennedy_render_by_leonskennedy4815-d4p4i6m.png

Colour/s: Whatever looks good.

Effect/feel: Make it feel evil/dark/sinister

Text: Dead Silence

Size: 500 x 240

I'll give you free reign of whatever you want to do. If you can do a good job blending the render, that would be great.

Awesome request and quite different to the work I've done recently so an interesting challenge too.

I will try to get this done by next Wednesday!

Squalllionheart · Feb 17, 2012

I can vouch for Lirael's work, as you can see from my sig, she does a grand job

Vincentnl · Feb 17, 2012

I really like your work and if you have the time I would love a sig made by you

Image: http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e188/Alipes/yuri1.jpg
Colour/s: leave that to you
Effect/feel: leave that to you
Text: If there really is a God, and he could grant me just one wish, I'd go back to the day we met...
Size: doesn't matter, whatever works for the sig

If you need a different image(s), just say the word and I'll get some. I couldn't do anything to that render, so I thought you'd have better luck with it.

Lirael · Feb 18, 2012

My pieces always look a little lighter on the forums than they do in PS. The brightness of the rest of the screen really can change one's perception. :lew:

@R.y.o.k.u. How are these?

I can have another go if you like.

Would you prefer a lighter border? Would you like me to change/edit the text? I can send you it textless if you like - you're a wonder with text!

@Vincentnl I shall get to yours soon, hopefully before Wednesday. I love that image! ^_^

Vincentnl · Feb 18, 2012

thank you, I'm really looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Be honest Lirael, how hard was it to work with the image?

I personally like the second one, and the text is great. Thanks ^_^

Lirael · Feb 19, 2012

R.y.o.k.u. Haha, darker images are quite hard because it makes blending difficult. To blend them in properly, you need to make the background really dark, and Leon needed an almost black background. :ness:

I did keep playing with the light/shadow settings, but lighter parts looked unnatural and a darker feel was too much a block of darkness... I may have another go with it at some point this week. I do have one more idea for it. :hmmm:

Lirael · Feb 19, 2012

R.y.o.k.u. Here's my second attempt! I prefer it textless, and I've included it textless so you can have a go at text. I need text lessons from you. :lew:

Holy crap! Those are both awesome!

Much better than the first attempt, but I'm sure you already know that

.

Great job! I would give you more rep, but I just +rep you a few days ago haha.

And I love the text the way it is, it's awesome tbh. It blends in very well with the background.

Lirael · Feb 20, 2012

@Vincentnl

What d'you think?

Would you like me to change anything?

~Griever~ · Feb 21, 2012

Hey Lirael. If you have the time soon do you think you could do a sig for a newbie like me?

This is the image:

Size: Around 600 x 200 ? Seems like a nice size...

Colour: Same as in the image really...

Text: If this is all a dream, don't wake me up

Effect: I'd like it to look neat and tidy/streamlined...like a UK Final Fantasy cover haha...minimalist!

Thank youu!
