Welcome 2 my Showcase!
This thread's starting to get some attention so i'm revamping it, with more info... Been making photoshop art off & on for a few years now, though i am still amatuer at best... i think i am getting better though, especially since i came here... This thread is mainly to showcase my abstract bg's & sigs i've made for myself and for others... most of the sigs i am displaying in this thread were personally made for me or as requests for other forum members. So, sorry, but unless a sig is marked as "
Freebie" u can't ask for or claim it... Though i will have sigs that u can claim, and i also will be taking requests for new personalized sigs. The details on this are as follows...
Requesting sigs displayed on this thread...
Requesting NEW personalized sigs...
Spoiler for plz read before u request:
On top of the sigs displayed through out this thread that are available, i will also be taking requests for new sigs... If u would like a new sig, plz either post here or pm me & include the type of anime & character, size of sig, color scheme preference, text & any extras wanted... its best to also provide a pic, since i do not have a HUGE supply of images. Once u have requested your sig, plz be patient, it can take a day or 2, or even a couple weeks depending on how busy i am.... also, i ask that u plz keep your requests within reason... i am not a miracle worker... and fyi, I DON'T DO ANIMATED SIGS... I have a supply of images so if u can't find a pic/render to provide, here's a list of animes that i have images for...
Death Note
Bleach
Fate/stay Night
Ikkitousen
Lucky Star
Negima
Jigoku Shoujo
Elfen Lied
Azumanga Daioh
Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Fullmetal Alchemist
Naruto
Samurai Champloo
FLCL

Cowboy Bebop
dragonball z

i well collect more as time passes, but plz keep in mind that i will always have a limited supply so its best to provide your own render/pic....
My Abstract BG's...
About my art...
Spoiler for some info on my sigs-bgs:
I do most if not all my work on adobe photoshop.CS, i usually focus on abstact, i make an abstract bg for my sigs first w/o thinking of what render i wanna put in, then when the BG is done, i choose which render would best mesh with what i just created... I usually do all my abstract work from scratch, sometimes i follow a tuturial & sometimes i just do random things till i get something i like... Some of the tools i most commonly use are the gradiant tool, smudge tool, magic wand, clone stamp, the filters tab, and layer blending... lately though i've been blending my BG's with other images i find on the web... Scenery mostly, like gardens, oceans, sunsets, etc.... i say the most annoying part of making a sig for me, would have to be choosing and blending the text... i can never find the perfect text to mesh with my work, and my text blending is horrible.... still i do enjoy learning new things in photoshop and i plan to eventually start using Cd4 and imageready to help enhance my sigs...
Each post will contain some of my old stuff and some of my new stuff... with brief descriptions... so, here we go....
Let start with some old stuff...
