Sig help request

Unread post by Dulanie »

Hello. I was wondering if someone might be able to help me with a sig. To be perfectly honest I have absolutely no artistic ability unless you count paint by numbers. :cry: I have seen some wonderful sigs and was hoping that one of the masters might be so kind as to either help me make one, or make one for me. :oops:

I could make one for you. :) If you wanted just an image banner type, provide me with some pictures or tell me what you want on it and what sort of style you'd like it in. Also what text you want. ^^

I could do that too...

Seems like I'm responsible for most of the animated signatures around here but I even suck at paint-by-numbers! :lol: So I can only help you out with the WoW-models.

Just like Vephriel said, you just have to tell us what it is you want to have and one of us (I boldly include saturo here), would love to create something for you. Be as specific as you can be when describing your desires, as none of us "artists" can see the picture you got in mind.

Cheers,
- Karathyriel

As Kara said, I make sigs too.

If you like the one I have, you can put an request in my thread, http://forums.wow-petopia.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=215

Mine are still images, with a moving text tacked on, while Karathyriels are full blown animations.

I also exist on DeviantArt.

it's a hard choice since they are all so wonderfully done.

This is a link to my armory page. Surprisingly I'm the only one with this name in all of WoW. :shock:

I was thinking something with the image of my toon in the crouch position, and my ironhide devilsaur and agam'ar doing something along the lines of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51T6Y3qIlis
and at the end my toon is laughing. If something better or more inspired comes to mind please feel free :mrgreen:

Ooh! That sounds difficult... Fortunately, it's animated, which means that I'm off the hook...

This is not a signature, it's a blockbuster movie.
Sorry, but these animations would be not only very difficult to get into one GIF, I'm not even sure there are animations you could use to get the desired result.
Besides, it would definitely be to large in file size as signatures are restricted here to 300KB.

Image

This rather simple animation takes up 2,8 MB of disk space! So even if I was willing to become a movie director for your signature, which I'm not, it simply wouldn't be usable in the forum as a signature. Make it simply and your wish will be granted...

I am totally at a loss now. Any suggestions? :oops: :?: :? :(

Well, Karathyriel is very good at making a moving signature with, for example, your character and their pet walking beside each other. It's simple and you've probably seen some of the other members here with those.

If you don't want a moving signature I'd be happy to make an image for you as well.

Oh well... There is the hunter/pet(/minipet) walk or run sig, for example...
Everything you can think of. All the animations in the game. Maximum 3 toons, please, one animation per toon.

I can see if something comes to my mind spontaneously...

Agreeing with Veph, pitch me an idea and I can make something similar to mine.

The only idea that comes to mind has absolutely nothing to do with a sig :roll: It has to do with an idea that I've been hoping Blizz would implement. Ever since I first saw the armored boars in RFK I've had my fingers crossed in hopes that Blizz would make pet armor and weapons. I am really sorry but my mind is just going blank when I think about what to do for a sig now. :oops: :(

A post in another thread gave me an idea please tell me what you think. My toon sitting by 2 of my pets. I am torn between which ones to use. http://forums.wow-petopia.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=251 In that thread I describe my pets personalities. Maybe one of you will get an idea when the gears in my head are smoking from being stuck.

Well, if you now could link the animals to the right skin on petopia, we'd know what your pets look like.
Have you sitting by them is not a problem, I guess, neither for Veph, Saturo or me.
Let's see what exactly you tamed and then you can pick from what we all three came up with.

How does that sound to you?
