Well It's my 5th incarnation of a sig shop. I think I've gotten better and hope to get some requests. My rules are specific for the sole reason of putting super effort into each one and having more time to do so.

Rules-

1. You need 50 posts to request from here.
2. You must have been here for at least 1 month
3. If I don't see you using it I'll remove it from photobucket as I don't need to waste my efforts.
4. If you request from me and I find the same request elsewhere, I'll never make you another sig.
5. I expect my sig to be used at least 14 days before it is dicarded. I work hard and don't want it to go to waste.
6. I accept ONLY ONE RENDER. More than that comes out like **** and I'm done with that.
7. Please use my request sheet and if you can, use planetrenders.net for images. Don't worry, I'll render it if I must but planetrenders is easy.

NEED HELP CHOOSING A GOOD RENDER FOR A SIG?

When making a sig, one should look for a dynamic render. What exactly does dynamic mean. A good image to work with has some action with it. It should be doing something as opposed to just standing there. A dynamic render always comes out better than a boring render. If you still need help finding a dynamic render, you can always ask me to find a good image for you.

Request sheet:
Animation/sig/abstract/vector-
Image-
Size- standard for me is 380x120
Colors-
Text-
Rain effect- yes/no

Here's a request sheet if you'd like a recolor::

Type(standard or vector):: For definition of a vectored render see below.
Image:
Colors: Well this only applies to a standard recolor
Sig: yes/no Would you like a sig with that recolor?

examples-













I do avatars as well. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

RECOLORS!









Vectored Renders
There is another type of recoloring. It's longer and harder. It's called vectoring. What is that? To explain I shall quote Curly Haired Boy(a member of Gimptalk)
What is a vector? A vector is a type of recoloring process that is characterized by solid colors and a cartoonish, "cel-shaded" appearance.
Example-

Original render-


vectored copy-


Keep in mind, a vectored render takes at least 1hour and 30 minutes. I need a lot of free time so these take some time.

UPDATE!

RAIN EFFECT

I recently learned how to make a raining effect in sigs. I will put it in any sig if requested. I only have one sig showcasing this skill.




UPDATE 2

ABSTRACT SIGS

I now make sigs without renders. They're out of the ordinary and are totally unique. If you want one just request.

ABSTRACT EXAMPLES-





Update 3

Vector sigs

What are vector sigs. Well I'll quote the gimp god known as curly haired boy.

What are vector sigs? Vector sigs are sigs that have very little "depth", and make use of bold, dynamic colors and text. Many advertisments in print, online, and on TV use vectors to grab your attention. You've probably seen so many that you hardly notice them anymore. However, to make a good vector sig, you've got to think a bit differently about sigmaking.
