Out of boredom, I decided to offer my services to make signatures (or avatars) for this forum. Request yours here!

What I need before starting to work:
-a vague concept of what you want to be included on the image. The more details, the better.

-screenshots of your character / your ship if you want those to be on the sig. It's best if you make the shots with a background that's not space-dark. For ships the best is the orange clouds of sector-space around cardassia. Bright ground maps work well for people. Mind the direction of lights and the camera angle.

-Include any text, quote, shipname, charname, etc you want displayed on it. (obviously)

-anything you might wanna' add. A faction logo, a general color-scheme, a background, a faint idea. There's no such thing as too much information or too vague concept

-if you want to include some lines of text or links into your sig, tell me, as it means the image should be smaller due to forum regulations

Some of my previous works I did for other games, and other forums:

Disclaimer's notice: I'm generally lazy, have school, work, gf, games to play, forums to troll. :) It might take time until I get myself to work for fun. It might take more time than you'd imagine. Also I reserve the right to ignore request that I find dull or unchanging (or just ignore some on a whim). I also reserve the right to abandon STO, this forum, this thread, the internet as a whole - or to just simply die.

    Big friendly thumbs up for you, plus a flagon of bloodwine.

    I thought to use your services but lol, I went ahead and did some photoshop manual labour... first time in years!

    Made a big version too for a ship profile:

    Big USS Yukikaze Sig

    I guess I can help out with sig requests too, if provided with ample source material. I may not replicate some ships as I don't have them, ditto for any c-store ships (I don't own any). Thus screenshots are required for production.

    One thing I do want to learn is how to create the borders (as in OP's sig). I don't have any templates for that ATM.

    I just googled for materials. Keywords were along the lines of 'klingon' and 'ui'. Guess it's from some game. I just cut the shapes, arranged them and added some emboss.

    Though I dislike using templates - I like to keep my stuff unique. I might gonna' re-use the idea, but not the finished border itself.

    BTW... I like the flashy angel wing effect and the plane grid.

    Do we give you our requests in this forum, or should we PM you? This is cool, thanks! I am not very good at Photoshop.:)

    It's better here I think. Maybe onlookers give useful input too, and it keeps the thread bumped.

    Bumping is essential, lest Klingon awesomess becomes buried in the usual Federation stack of papers!

    Finally a challenger, I can stop making mediocre signatures. I made a thread like this on the WMRRA (Washington Motorcycle Road Racing Association) website. Yeah I used to race :p

    I think someone should start a 'Starship Design' thread. :cool:

    Yo Daidar,

    Just a heads up that around the summer of 2011, I made a set of KDF sigs. They have a similar design to your sig, although your current sig blows them away in quality. I may return to using them, since I go back and forth with Fed and KDF sigs.

    If I do, I just don't want you to think that I ripped you off or anything.

    I have to say the Klingon interface borders remind me of SFC2 a lot.

    Never do, and wouldn't mind. Photoshopping is essentially ripping stuff anyways. At least I'm lazy to draw or take photos until a boss/teacher/procurer insists.
