THIS IS CLOSED! GET IT THROUGH YOUR SKULLS NOW!

A number of the most popular sig shops are closing their doors to new requests or just closing their doors all together. To be of service to the comunity, I will muster up what ability I have to make you a sig.

Rules:
1. No spamming. This should be plain obvious, but what does spamming does to benefit the flow of sig making? Remember kids, Spam ruins every sandwitch.
2. No multi requesters. I've seen many people who post in every sig shop. I won't be too on anyone at this, just don't be suprised if your sig takes longer than everyone else.

Requesting:
Simple enough; just follow this format:
Render/ stock: Quick lesson: Render is cut out image, Stock is image and backround. Post the link to the render(s) or stock that you want in the sig. Try to get big pics, since the size gets awkward going from small to large but isn't affected the other way around. Best place to go is http://www.planetrenders.net/ since you don't want to risk bad rendering of some random pic. Also, Less is more when it comes to requesting; A 1 render sig will turn out better than a 4, 3, even 2 one.

Backround/ style: What do you want to acompany the sig? I will fill this in to taste if you don't. I'll probably give you something better if you just tell me to decide for myself.

Color: Is there any part of the sig that needs recorloring? Do you want the sig to be tinted or anything? Fill that in here. As with the above, leave it blank and I'll try to make it look good.

Text/ Font: What you want the sig to say? Which font? This is probably the most important part of the sig, so get this in detailed. FOR FONTS, BROWSING http://www.dafont.com/ IS HIGHLY RECOMENDED!

Maker: LordUnicorn3 or myself *Coughcoughchosemecough*

Other: Baisicly if there isn't anything not mentioned above that should be included, post it here.

Remember this, the more you fill the form out, the faster I can get the sig done.

Fill this form out and then, in return, you get:

-A sig
-The link for the sig
-The option for me to redo it or fix any errors
- Your sig on display on the wall of fame

I won't require recognition, but if you feel you would like to (most people do, FYI) just put created by A_man13 (or something to that extent) on your sig. I do, however, want people to rate the shop, K?

My work:
These are property of their original owner, but I'll be happy to make a rendition of it.







For the rest, visit http://profile.imageshack.us/user/a_man13/

Waiting list:
I try to do sig work as fast as I can. From start to finish, an hour at most. I work 24/7 on the weekdays, but on weekends a lot less. There are going to be 3 main status indications: Waiting (Waiting to get started), Working (Started; give me an hour and I'll be done), and Awaiting pickup (Finished, posted, user is PMed, and waiting for the OK). I'll also put any tecnical dificulties here as well.
BladeAli: Waiting
Ozi3000: Waiting

Ok, ill keep this short…
im going to help a_man a little in his shop, so if you want to request from me, just say so at the top

Requesting:
similar to a_man

Render/Stock: post a link to the stock or render you want, i am not great at rendering anything so a render would be great (planetrenders is a great place for render)(also, try to keep it to one render/stock, i will do 2, but it most likely wont be the best, please no more than 2)

Style: Just the style/backround you want your sig to have

Text/Font: very important if you want it

Other: if there is anything else, just tell me and i will try to put it in

small list of newest examples:






Well, I hope we can be of service in making your next sig!

UPDATE!: With 4 artists wanting to participate, I think its time we start a fresh shop. We will finish current requests and start anew.

UPDATE! 5/30: As you all know, LordUnicorn3 has joined the shop. Give him a warm welcome or else... :rocket:

I also edited my section.


UPDATE! 5/20: POLL TIME! Alrighty, now, see the my work/ examples section? Cluttered, right? Now, help me out here: Choose your 5 favorite sigs from either section and post your answer. Then, if you want, do your least favorite 3. A wave of change will be going on soon, so I want YOU (the requester) to help me de-clutter the thread. This may also direct the way I make sigs, so choose wisely.

UPDATE! 5/18: Thanks all of you who have requested so far. I'm conisdering a shop overhall. In the future:
-I'm considering opening up the shop for another sig maker. I know summer is coming up and I've never really have had a problem making sigs, but it would be nice to have another style set to choose from. I doubt anyone is too interested in joining, but if you are...
-I'll get rid of most of my hall of fame and, instead, post my image shack acount for user browsing.

Render:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Kingdomheartscharacters.jpg I'm not sure if I'm suppose to ask if you can render it or if it already was supposed to be rendered but can you cut out Roxas, the two soras and Riku.

Backround: Light on one side fading into darkness. Maybe a darkened heart.

Color: Just the backround has to be recolored.

Text:Autydragoon Subtext- Swordsmen unite

Other: If you could fit Marth in there some where that would be epic if not that will still be awesome.

If I filled the form out incorrectly just inform me. Thanks for doing this.

Awesome, my first request. I'll start on it asap.

I do have one request; is it possible that you could get seperate pictures of each? There are some problems with the image; I don't know which characters you want cut out (yeah I know the names of the characters, but the Wikipedia guide sucks at giving labeling) and I'd have to do a ton of blurring to get the full image of the characters (and trust me, bluring an image to fill in gaps ruins it). I do, however, have an idea of the outcome.

Yeah, I'm somewhat a n00b at this, I'm suprised I got any requests. When I got my first sig made from someone else, it was...ok. I had already downloaded GIMP, so I put that to use making my Bowser Jr. one (odly enough, that one was my first and probably best). I just downloaded a few more brushes the other night, so you might be able to see some new things coming from my work. I'll get started on both of yours soon. I recal seeing a good backround for a Falco sig earlier, so I might start with that.
@ AutyDragoon: Have you tried planet renders? I was looking around for alternate images for what you want and they had really good images for your characters. I didn't choose cuz I wanted to make sure it was something you wanted.

Well, it took me a bit, but you now proudly own this sig. I hope you like it. I am more than willing to change anything you don't like (Bye bye bluring, text is wonky, I took your orange thing to seriously, etc.).
Holy **** nice work dude I love it

@Autydragoon: I'm glad you like it (and thanks for the advertisement). You owe me a brawl match....JK. The only thing I request is rating the shop. You'd rather go to a 4 or 5 star shop than a no star shop, right?
@Ultimate Link: I guess I got all three done today

As I'm sure you know, I will make any changes you want. Till then, enjoy!

hey A_man! cool shop goin on here, got a request.

here is the render: http://www.freewebs.com/globox802/Ray_Posing_Western_M_04.jpg

for the background i was thinking something bluish like dark blue around the outside and fading to lighter blue toward rayman. maybe some black in with the dark blue but none too close to rayman since he is fairly dark himself. but if you find something that works better thats cool too.

for the text id like it to simply say "mzink" in the lower left. for font id like this http://www.dafont.com/font.php?file...=10&text=mzink&nb_ppp=10&psize=m&classt=alpha
or something like it. the text can stay white.

also i was wondering if you could shrink this image to relatively small and put it next to the text. http://rayman4.wantedrayman.com/images/rendered_rabbid.jpg

feel free to experiment with any of the specifics above or change things if something els works better, those are just general ideas. i would like the main images to stay the same though.

Cool. I'll start on it ASAP. I do think that I won't use that rabbid next to the text, though. With how Raman is looking, that would be funny to keep it normal size. I will put another rabbid up there, though.

Well, lucky you. I made you two versions of the sig. Both are somewhat experementory, so you'll probably want some changes made. Here you go:

http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/2459/mzinkkbluepf7.png

http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/6051/mzinkkredcf7.png

Edit: I added a new style to ability set:bigthumbu. Check it out:


I was just messing around for ten minutes and ended up with this. All it is is a collection of brushes with colour, a render pasted on, standard render effects, basic blending, and text. I guess that'll rub a little of my n00bish reputation off.

Thanks. The white thing was suposed to be a plunger, FYI. It seemed to fit the theme. Now I really want to do the satisfaction song on Raving Rabids 2. By the way, changed my normal sig to the new style.

I would prefer a Black pit.
Make him look like a badazz please, if is possible.

Do you have an image that you want me to use? I'm sorry to say that I'm not going to spend hours googling images. Once you get that, I'll start on it ASAP.

Hey buddy! Okay, here's my sig request. Hope it's not too unusual.

I'd love the sig to be mainly revolved around Marth and Ike. The coolest pictures you can find, I really don't wish to use their original concept art, as you see those in too many sigs as it is. I'll post some examples of other sigs with these pictures used so you can get an idea.

This is a Marth picture I LOVE. http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn280/IceyMarth/Kingdom_Under_Fire___Marth_Tag_by_A.png

Now, because it's mainly involved around Ike and Marth, would it be possible to add that HP Guage bar that appears when Marth makes contact with someone with his Final Smash? http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff228/EricThe5th/marth_080207s-l.jpg

In one of the corners, it would be cool if you could add a square for each of the other characters I main i.e. Captain Falcon and Zelda. http://thebrawl.net/signaturegenerator/ike/Lightchaos/3737-9191-9588/marth/captainfalcon/image.jpg

Also, if you could find some place to fit a Smash Ball on the sig, that would be wonderful. http://i.neoseeker.com/ca/super_smash_bros_3_conceptart_uHQPq.jpg

Hope that wasn't too much to ask, but I figure it will provide a decent challenge and practice always makes better, right? If is too much, that's cool, just whatever you can come up with. It would be MUCH appreciated!

Found a link to this in your profile, I've been looking for a good sig for a while. Hopeing you can help me out. I see your working on a black pit too, so erm, take your time with mine. I'm in no hurry.

Source(s):

http://www.purpleyoshispage.com/run.gif
OR
http://www.superjmn.com/cfs-filesys...uch_2D00_n_2D00_go_2D00_yellow_2D00_yoshi.jpg

And, if you can fit it...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/images/icon/world_b_11.gif in a cornor or a place where you see best fit. This is a small pic, so if it looks too goofy when you enlarge it either keep it small or just remove it entirely. Prehaps enlarge it and fade it in the backround where the Yoshi isn't, idk, I'm not great with photobucket.

Render/ stock: I think I want Render, I'm not too up to date one the photobucket stuff, but with the little details you gave me about both I think I want render. I hope I got big enough pictures for you...

Backround/ style: I love the way your Bowser Jr. example sig is, the pikachu and Lucario both look excellent too. Anything like those would be excellent, I don't know how to differenciate between them. If I had to choose I'd say go with the Bowser Jr. Though the Pikachu looks nice as well.

Color: I don't think anything needs recolored, prehaps a shade of yellow for the small egg image, if you can do that. Beyond that I think its good.

Text/ Font: A simple "Farstriker" on the bottom left cornor in arial or times new roman or another easily read font would suffice.

Other: I'm not exactly sure if I provided you with enough images, if I need anything more feel free to tell me. I don't want you having to search google for images I should have found. If neither yellow yoshi pics turn out good, you could replace it with...

http://starsmedia.ign.com/stars/image/article/844/844916/yoshi_image_smash-bros1_1200014139.jpg

And I'm wondering, could you make the skin yellow on that yoshi? If you could, keeping the shadowing and ect, that would be better then the other two yoshi's. I'd really prefer a yellow yoshi over green, but if you cannot get either of the first two yoshi's or change the font of this yoshi then Green would have to suffice.

Thanks in advance!
