Sigs and Stuff

[Eva]

I'm envious of the ability of some to be able to put pen or pencil (or crayon, marker, w/e) to paper and make wonderous images appear. I've never possessed that talent, but I've gained some skill with Photoshop over the past several years and have made use of the model viewers and various other tools to create siggies, wallpaper, and avatars. I'm attaching several that I've made over the years, attempting to keep them somewhat chronological:

 

Forum Avatars:

 

 

Siggies made for others:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dynamis Forum Avatars from when I was Upgrading:

 

This is my Dynamis Siggy from when I was Upgrading:

 

This was just done out of silliness one night:

 

My First Animated Sig (and the earliest one I could find on short notice)

 

The next several kind of tell a story as they go...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of the quotes was from 'V for Vendetta', and another was out of a Robert Jordan book, and another was a loose translation of something someone in FF9 had said, and I think another was from a Spiderman movie. I think my favorite was the 2nd to last, but the final one (which uses the same graphic from the dynamis counter one) is the most recent.

 

I love doing these, and can't wait for some more FFXIV graphics to become available (and maybe even a new model viewer /crossFingers). I'm presently working on one for Deufraubiont and will post it when it is done as well.

 

Peace,

Kes/(Dyterium)

[SolanaVernon]

I like the can I has ones. They're funny.

[Eva]

Had some artistic flash tonight after a long bout of 'artist's block' and finally got around to making Deufraubiont's sig:

 

 

 

 

Made a couple more for use with this character in specific. Not enough FF14 info yet so just drawing a base idea of what she'll look like using the FF11 template. I figure the sunrise is rather symbolic and makes for a good 'first siggy' for this character.

 

 

[Keir]

Might as well put in the things I've done for myself and my crew.

 

Avatars:

 

 

For two linkshell members:

 

 

 

 

My first signatures for Keir:

 

 

 

Hell for a Heaven signature series:

 

 

 

 

 

 

For my secondary character:

 

[Eva]

Love the rain effect on the NIN ones! Looks good with the red, too. Excellent work!

[Keir]

Love the rain effect on the NIN ones! Looks good with the red' date=' too. Excellent work![/quote']

 

Thanks. Those were some of my earlier ones too.

[Camille]

Making sigs is actually a fairly fun when you're in the mood. I love the blue one and the island vista, Keir.

Here are a few of mine in no particular order:

 

(I'm not particularly fond of making animated ones to be honest, but Drai asked. >.>

 

And something silly I made for Dy's gugnir attempts.

 

[Augustine]

I guess I will post mine. Mines are terrible compared to what I have seen from you guys, but most of them was pre photoshop. lol

 

 

Ariciont, one of the many demon sigs I did...

 

Ryujinn

 

Aaralyn, my merchant that I named after my youngest daughter

 

Aricont aka The Red Raven, during his assassin days...

 

Ariciont, Avatar

 

The Red Raven, Avatar

 

Ariciont, the good boy

 

Ariciont, the bad boy

 

Linoge, a character I played with when I returned to FFXI after being gone for 2 years

 

Linoge

 

Endinka

 

Arimos

 

Ariciont vs. Arimos

 

A little Artwork siggy, thanks in part to Cecil and Nightmare. lol

[Tyriont]

Made for a bio of Tyriont:

 

 

Made while still leveling COR:

 

 

Rae's alt character:

 

 

Don't like this one, but here it is anyway:

 

[Evrol]

Just one

 

[Kylin]

I'm terrible at creating sigs/banners. I usually depend on someone else to make me the really cool ones. When I do create one, I tend to just use an in game screenshot and then edit in text simply via Paint.

 

 

 

 

 

 

My best work by far right here: >.>

 

 

These ones were created by Ari/Augustine:

 

 

 

 

By Solana:

 

 

By Elysia:

 

 

And Kes already posted the one he made for me.

[Nanapariri]

Okay I'll share though I've only recently just started on these in the last 6 months or so and am a novice in photoshop lol

 

I recently experimented with motion sigs:

 

This is my current one.

 

Did this for a friend who stopped Rping shortly after lol.

 

Not a Sig but a Storyline Banner:

 

 

Some sigs where I was just learning what I was doing lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For a Friend:

 

[Smiling River]

Tsumi was there a character that was blind? (the Hume female in the sigs) If so, that's really cool cause I also RP'ed a blind guy for a while

[Nanapariri]

Yes Nannette is blind which is an interesting challenge to play. She was attacked twice by her twin sister, Nikkita the BLM you see in the images above, leaving her blind and crippled. Sort of a good twin/bad twin thing lol. Nikkita was recently killed though by Nan's husband Seig, the elvaan kissing her in the sig I did for the friend above, so it won't happen again lol. It was fun playing a psycopathic serial killer for awhile though lol.

 

Though I'm discontinuing rping a few characters, trying to save some money, I'll still be doing her.

[Nanapariri]

When I was learning photoshop I made some images with some of my characters for fun so I guess I'll share:

 

 

Well this was for a friend not my character lol.

 

 

 

 

I turned this one into a sig later

 

Okay a friend asked me to do a romantic pic, when I was new to photoshop, of our characters Seigfreid and Nannette. I did this intially, before I discovered the joy of dats:

 

 

He wasnt' too thrilled so, as I was making a second request of his, I did a much better one he loved for a sig:

 

 

Since I was so pleased I did a series of romantic images on a whim:

 

 

 

[Mho]

I've only ever made one, and it's a bit simple...

 

 

It was supposed to sound contemplative but I think it came out sing-songy. Oh well.

 

EDIT: I forgot I smooshed two drawings from an artbook together to make this. My char and her ex-fiance. (or their models anyway)

[Eva]

Been looking for inspiration to update my Dynamis siggy (which is a few months old and still doesn't reflect relic completion) and Keir totally provided it. This is, of course, similar to a couple of his, but I wanted my character behind the rain for it. It's actually spurned a few other ideas for future siggies as well. Keir, I hope you don't mind that I borrowed the technique from yours. If you do I will take this down and make some alterations. I'd been struggling with what I was going to do next for some time.

 

[Kylin]

Since this thread is so insanely image heavy, do some of you mind editing your posts to put the pictures in spoiler tags? It should help with the loading process of this particular thread significantly. The spoiler tag is under the "Others" button right below the bold/italics button. Or you can just type it in as:

[/spoiler ] (minus the last space).

 

Edit: New forums spoiler tag in the works.

[Renaise]

Did a few myself actually, some used some not. Going to try to learn a few cool tricks for the next time

 

Misc

 

 

FFXI

 

 

And a personal favourite

[Keir]

Kes, I'm flattered, and the sig looks really good. Keep it!

[Klare]

Wow so many nice sigs @_@. Makes me wish I saved a few pictures of Klare back when I played ffXI.

 

My current sig is the only recent one that I've done that involves the FF series. Very simply done with only a little bit of editing using windows pain and Myphotobucket editing tools.

[Alaiac]

Wow, I had forgotten some of these and how great they were. I guess I'll have to dig out my old copy of photoshop and stop slacking off.

[ShoggMommy]

Decided to go ahead and make a signature for myself, probably will make some for others as well if they'd like. I normally don't make sigs to be quite honest but I wanted something to drop on mine aside from the generic enjin one.  

 

[K'nahli]

EDIT: I forgot I smooshed two drawings from an artbook together to make this. My char and her ex-fiance. (or their models anyway)

 

 

This is amazing!! Well done ;w;

[Magellan]

@Eva: your Men in Purple one cracked me up :0)

and

@Foxberry: yours is so pretty! I always wondered how to make these, but have never given it a try before.
