Nice. b:chuckle

Alright, little update:
Rendered all of your images, Quiet; unfortunately I cannot finish the signature by today, will work on it tomorrow, sowwie! :<
Meanwhile I'll think of a concept regarding the placement of writing, images and stuff.

Thanks for your patience~

hey silvy
i just wanted to ask u how u change the background if u have a screenshot in it
thanks

Silvychar - Sanctuary · August 2011

I don't quite understood what you were trying to ask, but I assume it's about adding custom backgrounds to rendered images, right?

Of course you can just use screen shots as basis for signatures and alter /specc up the contrasts/colours/whatever; for my standard signatures I simply render the requesters characters (I learned rendering with this neat tutorial); for backgrounds you need brushes, colours and fonts. (Here's a nice site - wait, they got new brushes?! *downloads*).

Hope this helped a bit. =D
...if I interpreted your question right... b:surrender

Now finishing Quiet's signature.

(: I can't wait to see my new sign ♥

Silvychar - Sanctuary · August 2011

Took me a bit. b:chuckle

E voila:

After setting up the character constellation I noticed you said you wanted the two faces more in the middle... 'twas a bit too late.

But this way I think it looks better. =D

QuietxKill - Lost City · August 2011

*cries* ITS SOO PREEEETTY ! ♥♥♥♥

QuietxKill - Lost City · August 2011

Silvychar - Sanctuary · August 2011

Wow, that's pretty easy on gimp. I've been using photobucket to do that. :P I use their smart cutout tool and color everything I want to keep in green and everything I don't want to keep in red and letting them do that. Then I hand fix it by coloring parts back in or coloring parts back out. Or if i'm on pixlr I just erase the background, using the wand tool at the edges so I don't accidentally erase something I need to keep. I think I'm gonna bite the bullet so to speak and download gimp. b:chuckle

Hell, 'tis about time I'd say! b:shocked
That must have taken ages to barely render one simple image. O_O

Yeah, but it's fun. b:chuckle

Silvychar - Sanctuary · August 2011

Well then... lol... ^^

Anyway... yo dawgs, I got some spare time, so shoot away with requests or take them to your grave!

/end of pointless blabbering

I think sometimes later this week I ought to change the show case collage of the signatures in the first post... adding some recent signatures (as well as pop-out signatures

) to show my improvement. =D

*goes to play a bit*

@Fiery
Could you add some close up screenshots? I cannot really work with thumbnail sized ones. :<
Well, actually I could. But it would look dumb.

>
So, moar pictures pl0x!
Btw, did you read my response to your previous question?

@Dollface
Your signature is up next, let's see if I've enough time today to finish it, otherwise I'll finish it within the next week. Thanks for your patience!

Since I promised to finish Dollface's signature within this week, here's the result.

The other requests will have to wait. Although I already rendered all the images.

I wasn't quite motivated to work on the requests at all... as I am busy with real life at the moment... and the fact that I'm feeling that that whole 'business-like' image holds no merit at all if I'm just some sig-making slave... >_>
And double drops is on.

MithraAlzar - Lost City · September 2011

Well darn. I was hoping to get a really awesome Siggy made. I really like the effects you use, and I hope you change your mind. I understand if you don't though.......QQ

Silvychar - Sanctuary · September 2011

Huh, wait, what?

I never said I wouldn't finish the latest requests, don't misunderstand me! :<
I just meant it wouldn't be finished as fast as usually... b:sad

If I find the time the remaining requests will be worked on within this week as it's probable that my net connection is cut off on Tuesday... b:surrender
(meaning that I'll use the library computer to check requests, details and upload the finished results)

Stick with meeeeeee...

I was just slightly annoyed since most of the people (not all of course!) treat me like some impersonal signature generator... and well since I tend to pay my 'customers' the most respect and behave in a polite manner... I wanted some love back... b:cry
Just a small 'please' and 'thanks' and/or smalltalk or whatever would make this pitiful wolf happier...

MithraAlzar - Lost City · September 2011

Oh okay sorry I did misunderstand you. I will also add a very big PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! and thank you in advance, your work is superb and I can't wait to see it.

I would like to update my Siggy request please. I am no longer wanting the 4Horsemen Leader as the guild was not able to be rebuilt. I am now wishing to have CandyKiss Executor put in its place. I would greatly appreciate this change. I can't wait to see what siggy you have in store for me. ^_^

Asgardeus - Sanctuary · September 2011

*gives Silvy a bear hug* Don't be sad

I bet there's tons of people that wish they could make as epic signatures as you

Hang in there Silvy. You're doing a wonderful job with your siggies!

Silvychar - Sanctuary · September 2011

Ow, thank you guys

*pours some tea and hands out cookies*

@MithraAlzar
Change noted! I'm going to give my best at making your signature. b:cute

Bellefleurs - Raging Tide · September 2011

Silvy you know we ALL love you!!!! I check back all the time to see if you've made any new ones. I adore all that you do. Wish i could pick at your creative brain :P

Btw you have any awesome sites to find free fonts and brushes? I need to update my collection.

Hazumi_chan - Sanctuary · September 2011

*still checks back every now and then to see the new siggies made*

ofc we all love you silvy

And seriously. I'm still amazed at your talent of making something as small as a sig, so damn awesome \o/
*hands more cookies and tea*

Silvychar - Sanctuary · September 2011

*wipes tear out of eye corner*

Aww shucks, you guys, that really made me happy!

Especially since my day so far sucked pretty much... ;/

Love you bunch of awesomesauce fellows too! :>

Thank you very very very *echoes on* much for the kind words! b:cute
Compared to what each of you guys craft my work is nothing big. =D
I'm still totally consumed and amazed at how skillful and awesome this community is, I've never ever ever seen something similar; I mean just look at the other PWE forums, nothing but tumbleweed fields there! :O

Oh and Belle, here are some neat pages

http://www.1001freefonts.com/
fontfactory.com

http://free-brushes.com/

...and dA :O

*hums happily*

EDIT:
Yosh! Finally some minutes to relax (after I finished helping moving heavy stuff around x_x)!
As I am in full spirits again (thanks to you

), I'll start right now with Gtyfu's signature!
-dusts off-

2nd EDIT:
Just in time before dinner!

At first I thought the background would be too much, too heavy of contrasts, but in the end it worked out rather well. Did I mention that I never get your name typed right? I always end up with gtfyu or so... o_o
Anyway, anything to change/add; complete rehaul?

Next one:
Mithra's.
-after dinner-

3rd EDIT:

Finished Mithra's signature.

Hope that's what you had in mind (or something along the lines). Couldn't quite realise the effect which I used in Gtyfu's signature with the zoomed out hellhound and the close-up since the shots sizes were relatively small.
And this time I was smart enough to save the presets in case you want me to update level/faction. xD
