Hellloooo!

So I've been doing this for a few years, but haven't made anything since January. I wasn't sure if I could still make sigs, seems I can though so its cool :)

I'd love for people to make requests, t'would relieve some major boredom going down here in London :phoenix:

So here is some stuff I've made before [my username used to be Weirdelves on everything so thats the name on the sigs] :

I cut out and render all my own images.

----------------------------------------

So I was just trying to check that I could still make em, cooked up a little Franny sig in 20 mins or so (its not finished or anything). I made 2 different borders so I'll put em here:

----------------------------------------

So yeah I'd love comments / criticism on anything I've got up there, and if you want a sig for yourself I'd be glad to make it, just tell me sorta

Images you wanna use
Text style and what I should write
Colour scheme

or as much as that as you know or can I find, you can leave me to find images if you have nothing in mind :)

...thats about everything. I hope people post :pearl:





Edit - So yeah I just realised I've posted this in the wrong place. How do I move it?

Post subject:  Re: Zeitgeist's Sigs
Your work is fantastic! I noticed that you posted in my comic thread a little while ago, so I thought I might make a request if you're willing. ^_^

I would like a sig of Ami to advertise the release of R~C 2-2. If you want to go the serious route, you can include the quote "A lawyer is someone who never stops smiling..."
If you want to make something more lighthearted, you could feature a quote like "FINALLY! It took long enough!" Which pose you use and color scheme, design, etc. would be entirely up to you. ^_^ You have good taste.

Anyway, if you find the time and you want to fulfill my humble request, I would be very grateful. Good luck with your thread!

Post subject:  Re: Zeitgeist's Sigs
I'd love to. I may have to come back to you about sprites but I'll try and just take something from the comic and see if I can work that. I think I'll work out a colour scheme and background then decide whether it seems more lighthearted or not :)

Editt - also note I'm not sure how it'll turn out as the character doesn't have many defining colours except for black, I'll just experiment I spose :)

Um could I get the sprite for the bottom right Ami in this panel - http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e184/ ... C2Koma.png - with a transparent background (assuming you have it to use). Cuz I just spent about 20 mins trying to render it but my knowledge of if that little yellow pixel is background or person prevents me from making a clear cut.
In the meantime I'll try and make something using the one in your current sig :)

Post subject:  Re: Zeitgeist's Sigs
Thank you for taking on my request! I have something that should help quite a lot:
Ami's Bit of Sprite Working
That is my sprite topic, and has the majority of Ami's sprites in a convenient sheet form. If you're looking for the court sprites, scroll down a little and you'll find them.

To me, Ami's defining colors are forest green (her eye-color, and also her text color) and blue (the color of the accents on her outfit). A black color scheme would certainly be cool too, though. I'm leaving it all up to you. Thanks for your time!

Post subject:  Re: Zeitgeist's Sigs
Well here is a really rough version. Unfortunately all the sprites except the big faces are a little small for my sigs. I've never worked with sprites before so you'll have to forgive me.
Spoiler:
Image
Edit - I just was looking at it and wondered if you wanted Ami blended or not :)

If you could just give me some sort of direction from here... I mean should I be changing the text, colourrs, background or whatever.

Hope I'm on the right track anyways :yuusaku:

(Man i love that smiley)

Post subject:  Re: Zeitgeist's Sigs
That second one looks perfect! If you don't mind, I'll go with what you've got, unless there was anything else you really wanted to add.

Truly, you have captured the spirit of the time. XD Thanks for your awesome work.

Edit: Oh, I notice that Reminiscence is spelled incorrectly. If you get the time, you could fix that. Thankies~

Post subject:  Re: Zeitgeist's Sigs
Yup I'll correct that ... I'll see if I can improve it in any way,and I'll also supply the normal one respelled.

And nice work looking up my username :P

Hey! :gymshoe:
Wow, very nice work! Looks like you have some real skill! :will: Also, your avvy is epic! :-P ("Yes, the victim did choose vanilla icing! Therefore it's scientifically impossible that the stain was from the cake!" )

Anyways, you mentioned that you would take requests for sigs in my intro topic, right? Well, I figured I might as well ask so I can stick out more! :larry2:
So here is my request(I tried to come up with something):

Well, I guess as far as an image goes, I like this one:
http://www.court-records.net/arts/08063 ... snap02.jpg
Basically just aim for mia and godot, samurai edgey will have to wait! :edgy:
If you cant use that pic, Then maybe I could find something with the official art.
Text: "The only thing I love more than coffee..."
Text Style: No idea, whatever looks good in you opinion.
Color scheme:
Greyish Red, If such a thing exists. kinda like the visor. :godot:

I also had a few idea's for an awesome gumshoe sig, but I dont want to ask too much(actually, I dont want to ask for anything :bellboy: )

Thanks alot! :pearly:

Post subject:  Re: Zeitgeist's Sigs
Looks like I can definitely do something with that image, I'll try and emphasise their relationship. Well I'll see if I have time to make another right after. If so I'll post here asking about your Gumshoe sig.

And Ami here are two more versions of that sig; one with simply corrected spelling and one with corrected spelling and colour/ contrast tweaks

Actually, I took German in high school. I already knew what it meant. ^_^;; It's a really awesome name!

That newest version is awesome! I'll definitely go with that. Thank you so much for lending your talent!

Post subject:  Re: Zeitgeist's Sigs
Alright cool, thanks!

I'll see if I can come up with some better ideas for the gumshoe sig, if your interested. :will:

Post subject:  Re: Zeitgeist's Sigs
Well it seems I am slightly rusty. If I can't find a good image it is always harder to make a sig.
But I got a version of your one, it's very rough again so tell me what needs doing :yuusaku:

Spoiler:

Editt - I made this by accident while tinkering with the settings and thought it looked kind of funky :D

Spoiler:

And sorry I assumed you looked it up Amiiiiiiiiiiii; I just thought it wouldn't have been the most common German word for someone to learn in class so assumed you had :pearl:

Post subject:  Re: Zeitgeist's Sigs
Awesome! I think it looks really good, I actually like the way most of it turned out. The only thing I can think of is the text, it just doesn't seem to mesh with everything else. Maybe something, a little more.....swirly? I honestly don't know, maybe some examples? I kinda liked the style from the franziska sig. :gymshoe:

Post subject:  Re: Zeitgeist's Sigs
The original actually used Scriptina but the length of the quote made it over-swirly. So I shall investigate other choices and can cook up some examples of others including that Franziska one. Gotta do some serious reading now but I'll cook it up later :franny:

Nice and simple but I think it's cute :)

I actually really like this one. Killer 7 was an awesome game and I loove this sig :phoenix:


Don't worry SS your alterations are coooming.

Any comments / criticism? :yuusaku:

Man I am far too obssessed with that smiley :yuusaku:

Oh, the Aerith and Cloud one is too cute for words!! :bellboy: I love it! Mind if I use it on Gaia? I'll give you credit, of course!

Sure go ahead hun also maybe you could link back here in the credit? :pearl:

Post subject:  Re: Zeitgeist's Sigs
Okay Shockslayer I bring you text options :)
Hopefully more swirly as you asked. Thing is many swirly texts are very uniform, and I thought the romance would be better expressed in a more rushed-looking style.

*Desperately wants to steal the Cloud and Aeris sig* Wow, you do some really great work. I'll definitely have to make another request when I'm done with this sig. :edgy:

Thankees. Its good to have some people here when you already have some amazing well-established sig makers here. I'm currently studying their stylees everyone seems to have a unique sig style here.

Bumped out of love for your work~ I haven't seen you around in a bit. I'm still hoping to request another sig or avy at some point.
Author:  Zeitgeist [ Wed Sep 24, 2008 2:11 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Zeitgeist's Sigs
Thankyou for the bump, I got a bit annoyed after the 'view your posts' option stopped working, but I just popped in randomly. Thanks Taijiri.
Work is crazy right now but I'll try to keep posting and maybe make something new :)

Post subject:  Re: Zeitgeist's Sigs
I just decided to come and post on this thread, since it is awesome and I never had a chance the last time I looked.

These are amazing and look very spiffy.
The third one down is my favourite. I really love what you've done to the image. (Overlay and blurring, is it?)
You're very good at using text effectively in your graphics, your composition is great too. (I suck at composition :P)

Um, I'll just poof away now.

*poof*
Author:  Zeitgeist [ Wed Oct 15, 2008 9:17 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Zeitgeist's Sigs
Thanks! I don't get to come round here so often these days.
Yeah overlay and blurring, plus hundreds of duplicate layers with tiiiiny colour and position differences. I must've had a bit of an OCD flash that day :)
