I'm really starting to think about closing the shop. It's not that I don't like the apreciation and making sigs, I just feel like I'm not putting enough effort into the shop. I'm having a hard time keeping up with requests and my sigs of late have been really below quality. I know you guys will tell me not to, but I feel a lot more people can do so much better than I could ever do. I'm letting requests age till their ancient, I never put out different stuff, and of late I'm really begining to dread sig work. I know so many people want sigs, but I know other shops are capable and more willing than I am now. If it does happen (which is slim, but stedily growing bigger), it won't be for a while. I'm just woried that I'm not pulling all of my weight in the shop like I should.

Nothings happening just yet. I've just been getting these feelings a lot lately. If I do ever close (which is a slim chance), every request that I have will be done. I'm not closing yet, so no reason to be worried now.

Hi nice sigs m8...id love a sig 2 if possible...almost all i want is included in this page except the render

So lets sum it up:

-Signature
-Render: http://planetrenders.net/renders/displayimage.php?pos=-17903 (ull prolly need to cut a part so plz keep the blades and cut the wings above the horns if needed)
-Style: Like the one you made for Kraven (The one with lucario but with green color instead of blue)
-Font Style: The name (Oceanic--Ice) like the sprayed "aman" (The one with Ness next to it) but instead of showing the backround inside the letters i prefer this coloring http://i.pbase.com/u16/david_hofmann/upload/39072521.green_flames.jpg and under it with this colour (Dark Green) in this font style (Century Gothic)
"You are not prepared..."

Soz if it looks too much xD.... I provided my imagination of the sig in detailed text

Good luck m8...i hope u dont freak when u see all this and also i hope that it is not as hard for u as it looks like

If you don't think you have enough time for one all by yourself you could always join the allstars House o' sigs, we have multiple shop owners and are accepting more.

After thoughtfull consideration, I'm going to close down for a bit. I just feel that I may want to focus on brawl and developing my talents for a bit instead of running a shop. This may sound grim, but think of what this will yeild for everyone; higher quality sigs, a bit more focused shop, and I won't have as much stuff preventing sig work. I will still take some requests via PM, but depending on how many people do so I may just limit this to roadies/ should be roadies.

Ouch, man...sorry to hear about that. I'll try to get my sig made elsewhere, just to give you a little more time, if that is not too much trouble. But good luck to you, man.....hope everything goes well.

Don't worry, there are plenty of good shops out there. I know you will get a kick butt sig no matter where you go. I'm very sad to quit, but I need the time off. Everyone is sugesting it and I know I need it.

Good luck getting yourself together, A man! Your shop was awesome and gave me my first sig, hopefully you can open again! *does 21 shot salute* Hopefully you'll still be on the boards and we could brawl sometime...

This aint a farewell, you guys. I'll still be around the emporium, smashboards, and the hangout hut.

Anyways, thanks for the warm bon voyage. It'll probably be a while till I post some new stuff, but PM me and I can show you guys some of my collection.

Wow, so much freedom and no way to spend it. I can't find any tuts to do.

Don't worry, I'll reopen in a bit. I just need to find some inspiration for sigs and start improving. Anyone have a good tut that I could try? Anyone want to brawl in a bit?
