Happy birthday, Klashikari san.
Two mods with the same day as birthday, it's not something we see everyday.

Actually, if you think about it, he's just a clone. I mean, he was born the same day and month, but years later. He joined AS later, he became a mod later. He just watches a different kind of series than I do, to disguise himself a little bit, but in my country it is said that 3 clues make an evidence

Spoiler:

I'm just kidding heh, nisemono-san

Jokes aside, I sure would have preferred to turn 23 as well today. Hey Klash, mind if I give you 3 of my years so we get even?

Happy Birthday ..

Klash, ur work in the forums especialy in the umineko thread is amazing. Wish you health, happiness and good luck in ur future plans!
Also make sure you'll enjoy ur bd! Don't forget to invite bern in your party!

Haha, thanks. I must say it wasn't always easy (I can't tell how many times I had to do some emergency delete regarding spoilers etc... so many bans for this silly thing OTZ).
For that reason, it is kinda funny how I'm instead using a bloody brutal red "sword" (it seems some members were actually likening my staunch modding actions with Beato's methods )

Ironically enough, it has been ages I didn't do any siggy on this theme (well, to begin with, I should slack a bit less... "a bit"...)

Hey now, don't shorten my life span like this!
I'm sure it was another of Monir's conspiration and plotting for this kind of happening!


For those who were wondering, I was completely busy with umineko sub-forum, umineko patches, exams (succeeded, so engaging my last year in nursing)... And now this .
Well, for those who are wondering, no I didn't drop this little hobby.

Now that I have "much" more time, hopefully I will have the motivation for signatures (it has been like 2-3 months I'm postponing Dan's request... urgh...).

[spoiler]Comments : well... i wanted to be back on Kanon, however, while i was "trying" to create Mai's signature, i was plain dry : impossible to find a correct structure.
however, while i was painfully hunting the pictures, Hope (chibi mai) picture twisted my ideas... (yeah... obsession on duality...)

hiya! I was wondering if I can use this picture/userbar/whatever you want to call it.
:3 please and thank you [if no one's using it of course]

[Klashikari]

2010 was probably the worst year for me regarding my free time, considering I had to deal with my studies, but also a lot of things (mainly Umineko patch sucking so much time it isn't even funny).

So in the end, that "break" became as long as... a full year and even more. That said, I didn't discard sig making hobby at all, so I pulled myself a bit here (and because of a "certain" person, he shall recognize himself).


For my "return", I tried something totally different from what I've done so far, and "that person" provided me an unusual picture:
original picture: Rusalka Schwägerin from Dies Irae

Due to Dies Irae's mood and storyline, it wasn't too hard to imagine a color pattern and a "mood", with a thick "emanating" aura.
However, things are a bit hard for me because the pose itself is... not really what you can exploit best with my usual sizes (no, I really can't imagine myself making any signature bigger than 120 pxl height anymore... looking back to my very first signatures give me goosebumps).
So I could only have a "focus" on a specific area, or trying to have a compromise to have the "most" of that picture:




The "full face" wasn't any good in the end: you have a very obvious "dead space" on the left. Furthermore, the arm itself became "secondary", thus the mood itself didn't put a good importance on the whole "length" of the signature but rather everything on the right.
Afterwards, it was also a matter of idea: I was thinking of some "orb" of magic, but then switched to the idea of a accumulated "mass" of swirling lightning bolts. And the more I was going with that idea, the more I became satisfied with the "crop" ratio of the face, leaving that "grin", yet leaving the expression unknown. Result with a lot of hue fun:



The text is from the real Dies Irae, the first verse in latin:
"The day of wrath! That day will dissolve the world in ashes".

That was yesterday. but now, there was something I wanted to finish, but alas, my free time AND inspiration were sunking for a... whole year. Thus, I've put a request for a bit more than a year, which doesn't stick well with me: no matter the request, I believe it is my responsibility to finish it once I accept it. So "better than later" even if it is debatable how long it took me.

Dimensions: 500 x 120

Colors / theme: The anime relies heavily on many different shades of brown and red, so I was thinking of something along the lines of a "Fall Scenery".

The notable problem for me was the color theme, but more specifically, the BG: trying to make a proper "autumn" one without being obvious (trees everywhere etc) was hard, especially I never really tried a "season" signature before so to speak. Therefore, no matter how I wasn't having trouble to figure out a good pose placement for the render, it was all naught if I couldn't figure how I would convey the mood.

In the end, I guess the dies irae signature ignited me my old habits enough.




Urgh... so long, but it doesn't seem I've lost "too much" of my "skills" after a year. I can say that after 6 months, another obstacle prevented me to jump on this hobby back: the obvious fear of sucking even more after so much time so heh.
Anyway, "back to business" I guess... and a good opportunity to update this thread (good lord, so many embarassing and shameful comments I've put in there...)

[Skyfall]

And before anyone gets any strange ideas, i will be claiming it for now, at least until Klash slaves away at another project. Somehow, the dark and destructive mood strikes a chord with me ...

[Daniel E.]

And the Horo one is mine!



Thanks again for the sig Klash!

Just to make things clear, it's *you* that has stolen my birthday because clearly I took it first! Why the first claim first served rule for avatars and signatures doesn't count for birthdays, I sincerely don't know.

Just to answer 2 peculiar points:

And this is actually a huge clue about a gigantic problem: I'm just loitering around. I really should try something like 2 signatures per month, but even that, it looks like I'm running on requests instead. Well, perhaps if I scavenge some fancy pictures, I may pull something...

I was so certain you would pull that! Beaten by 4 years huh... well, I stand defeated. -for now-
