The Yui avatar is awesome, too; the pink border works well with the pink background.

Used a flame brush. Then, I added drop down shadow and changed it from multiply to linear burn. I also enable the glow effects to intensify it a bit. Not a practical method, but it works.

Ah, yes. It's actually one of my favorites at the moment.

Ah, the third one. I was about to wrap things up until I remembered that I can also use the squad's emblem instead of the Type-94. It actually turned out better than I expected until I could not decided which on to use. lol. I guess I'll be alternating between them for the rest of the week.

What's the chick with the ponytails doing on the left XD?

Oh, that? Incomplete part of the sketch. She's supposed to be holding a spear and leaning a bit against it, but I gave up on the idea. haha...

Thank you. It's nice that they're appealing one way or another. It just felt like they're not as good as the one with the marines, but I guess it'll do for now.

It does make the Shiranui more visible which is why I chose it for now.

Ah, really? For something that you make out to be so simple, it's a very nice result. I thought you used a fractal or something. xD

And now, you need to gather all your work and update the first post! :3

[Silvance]

hmmm... too troublesome to gather all my work. I'll put that on hold for now. lol. XD

Also, correction. I meant linear dodge, and not linear burn. I don't know why I made that mistake in my previous post.

and here's another update.

Major Alfred Walken and the F-22A Raptor

[Ray]

That's what they all say! Plus, the longer you let it go, the bigger the load will get. Unless.. you want me to gather your work? I don't mind; I've done it for 300 page threads before. Only took like 8 hours. *shrug*

I really like how you use the same font for your sigs, but just change it around depending on the overall colour scheme of the sig.

As for your latest one, the green "lines" (I don't know what else to call them) are quite nice, but I feel that the left side of the Raptor could use a bit of blending. But then again, I don't know all that much about sigs. :/

[Silvance]

That's okay. I can't possibly ask you to do it. Besides, I've done part of it already. I just have to gather all of my sketches and add it to my first post.

As for the F22 sig. I added some noise on Walken, and added another light effect on the left side.

Awww. I was looking forward to it, too! Are you sure I can't help? :<

W-w-what IS THIS?!

I love the mech (TSF, right?), but a lot of details seem to have gotten lost because of how dark the signature is. Brightening it up might help.

Aww, I love this! Inia! :3 Nice use of colours, vectors, and lights.

This definitely my favourite one out of the lot. The only problem I have with is that Yui's face seems a little too bright.

Keep up the good work! : D

I don't want to trouble you over such things.

Magnificent facial reactions from the members of Squad 207B? XD

Yeah, I wanted to make it dark since it will keep the menacing atmosphere that the Type-0 is giving out. >__>

Rush job on the Inia sig. I did not know what to do with it so I just played around.

Ok. I toned it down a bit.

[NoemiChan]

Your "mecha" themed sigs are very cool. Nicely done!!!

It's no trouble at all. I enjoy such tasks. So please? (just tell me how you'd like me to sort the stuff)

Hahaha, gotcha! XD

Ah, I see. You got the meacning atmosphere down alright, but I think the left (our left) shoulder area (just above the purple lights) is a little empty. But that's just me being very nit-picky. Sorry. Dx

I think the result is quite nice from you just playing around with stuff. :3

Yeah, that's much better!

[Patchy]

Liked this one!! felt like it's an official banner that are free form the developer's site XD

Oh, I can't believe I didn't notice that you sorted everything in the first post of your thread by category and by date of creation. Good job! It's a lot easier to see how much you've improved over time that way. Plus, it’s also neater. :3

Woah, beautiful art; not much you can do with that, heh. But I still love what you did with the borders (the inner parts of them).

Very simple yet a very effect signature. Woo! Dark Souls! Man, that game is totally awesome. Have you played it or did you just like the Knight in that image?

That one? I used CS2 and Image Ready... that was a long time ago. I have other gif avatars that I used for another forum. I'll post them later.

Right now, I'm only using CS5.

Yeah, I played the game and beat it about 6 times with different characters. I haven't touched it for several months now though.

Oh, and here's another update.





I finished these last week. I'm still working on your sig at the moment.

Ah, nice. I used to use CS2 and Image Ready to make my avatars back when I first started. Oh yes, please do. I didn't know you were into making animated avvies. o:

That's the stuff.

Woah. That's a lot. PS3 or 360? I got the Platinum, and I think I only finished the game 3 or 4 times myself.. It's such an awesome game. Have heard about the DLC coming out for it soon? A new area + a new boss + more lore. :3

Oh, and here's another update.





I finished these last week. I'm still working on your sig at the moment.

Oooh, very nice!

I've already commented on the Yuzuka sig (so pretty), so I'll just talk about the other two:

- The Type 00 (not sure what TSF that is; is it a Takemi?) sig is quite good; the text placement (Silvance) is very fitting (I think placing the 00 text a bit above it into the panel could look very nice), the black spaltters give the signature a somewhat eerie feel, which is reinforced by glowing red eye of the TSF. The black dot pattern is also very cool, and the bit of the colour behind the sexy, glowy Japanese text adds a good bit of much needed colour to the signature.

- The Type 94 Shiranui (Did I get that right? :3) is also quite cool-looking, but I feel it's a little overcrowed. I think blurring the the TSF in the far back (the one right behind the one at the very) front and sharpening the one in the very front a little could be used to create some depth (not too much, though).

Keep up the great work. :3 As for my request, take as long as you need.

I have it on PS3.

I'll try adjusting them and see how it's like. Yes, it's the Type-94 Shiranui. You remembered it's design, eh? I applaud you for that. XD

And here's another update:

Requests:

Oh, awesome, what's your PSN addy?

Alrightio. Woot! I got it right! Was I right about the other one being a Takemi, though? x:

Again, thank you very much the signature. I love it to bits. :3

I've already commented on the second one, so I'll just get to the 3rd one.. why Lelouch? It's kind of a strange combination, but I definitely see how it works.. XD

[Silvance]

My PSN? I'll pm it to you when I get back.

Yeah, you got it right too. That was a Type-00R Takemikazuchi.

ahaha... Nah, it's not him. The developers just designed Seijuro to look like Lelouch and they're being very obvious about their reference with that pose. Then again, he looks different once he takes of his cap.

Spoiler for MLA: Adoration:

Holy shit. He's only 15, pilots a Type-00F, and got to lead an entire battalion of royal guards in first fucking battle? How good is he? And is he better than Yuuya and Takeru? D:[/spoil]

Spoiler for MLA: Adoration:

00R? It's the purple and blue ones.

Uhuh. Now you know what he looks like. lol. XD
[spoil]Yeah. The cadets of the Royal Guards are admitted to a training school once they are 13 years old, and it takes them 2 years to graduate. We don't know how good Seijuro is since Adoration ended with him commanding the entire battalion to follow his lead. Yeah, it was an abrupt way to end it, but the ending theme was splendid since it was Calling (The song from the 10th anniversary pv). <3

Thanks. I tend to go overboard when its made for someone.



Anyway, here's the updated version of my VF-17 sig.



Older Avatars and Signatures

Avatars

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

These signatures are some of my earlier works including the ones that I made when I was still a teenager... You'll know which sigs I'm talking about once you see them... D:

This is just a portion of what I've made. I have to look what's inside of my older external hard drives to find the others.
