very very cute sig sookie

EDIT: oh can you let me know if you'll take on my second sig request?

Thank you guys =) and Chaoyll you're next so if you want to change anything in your request, let me know here. I haven't started the sig yet but I started looking for T12. I have to know what the armor is called to see if it is in model viewer (it's quite likely that it's not but I'd like to look) but everything I found from interweb searching just showed the armor look preview, it didn't name a set or anything. So I'm not sure, but if you know or can find it let me know since that's half of the puzzle of being able to use it possibly I'll look again later when I come back to work on yours and hopefully I can find something.

EDIT: And yes Kurenio, it's just gonna be lower down the list since you've gotten one so far already that's all =) Don't regard the numbered list on the main post as gospel, I go more by the order people posted in the thread

Okay, now that you've said that, I'd like to completely redo my request to something much more simple, because I love to give the artist freedom and I realised my last request didn't give much of that at all. So:

- This item set. (It says it's no longer available... But it is. o.O) And this sword to match.
- The pets Sambas and Loque'nahak, with the non-combat pet Hyacinth Macaw somewhere in there too.
- I don't mind anymore what you do with the background, colour theme, font, etc.
- And a matching avatar would be wonderful as well.

There. Much more light and simple for you. xD I hope it's okay that I've completely re-done it!

Edit: Forgot two of the most important things and I just realised. My armory with no helm visible please!

Very nice work, Sookie! I adore the way you outline many of the signatures with their own colored glow. As a dabbler in Photoshop myself, I would LOVE to know how this is done. Also, if and when you have time, I would like to request a signature for an alt of mine for my guild website (size can be the same as the Petopia guidelines or a bit taller).

Character: Jorath (wowhead profiler is down or I'd link that as well).
Armor: (No Helm) Shoulders, Chest, Hands, Legs, Feet, Belt
Weapons: Right & Left
Details: I would like a Frostwyrm standing behind him and to the side. Background I leave to your artistic discretion.
Text: Just his name would be fine.

Thank you kindly in advance for your time and talent.

I LOVE IT!! Thank you soooo much <3

I love the cub running down my name and how I am petting my tiger. It definitely has the ethereal feel I wanted Great work as usual!

The cub and the purple heart are just far too much adorable for one signature!

It has been a difficult decision since I have so many beloved characters that I wish I could have immortalised, but I think I may have finally decided on the one I would like to request from you, if you have time.

Meet Mozag, Izikii, Zulmaka (I have no link as she is only level 6 so far, but she has the same face as the other two, and the same hair as Izikii. However, her skin is green and her hair is green, if you need more details on that, let me know!) and Mazakeen. Four Troll sisters, listed in order of age. The older three are ashamed of their heritage as they are not pure Darkspear, whereas their youngest sister Mazakeen is. They are all very protective of her, and keep the secret of their past from her, so that she does not have to carry the same shame they do.

I leave the composition of the picture entirely up to you. The clothes, the way you position them, and the backgrounds. Two requests, however, I would love it if you could include Mozag's most beloved pet Mort (the red hyena) in the picture near her, as they are inseparable. And second, if you can include their names in the picture, I would appreciate it. The font is up to you.

For some general information, Mozag and Izikii (full sisters) are both very stable, quiet and calm. They like to keep to themselves, but are fiercely loyal to the few they consider friends. Neither are accepting of mistakes made by others, and can come across as very abrasive and steely at times. Zulmaka is more laidback and appears more chatty and normal, but inside she is weaker than the others and suffers from her lonesome past, as unlike Izikii and Mozag, she has no full sister to share her shame with. She is also more temperamental. Mazakeen is a chilled out, capable, happy and perhaps even slightly girly Troll. She has always been her father's favourite, and is watched over by her older sisters. She is safe and secure in the adoration of the others, but is also rather naive still.

Edited to add in: If you feel that this would be too much for a signature, I would be delighted with a wallpaper instead.

Also, please feel free to ignore my request completely, if you either don't feel like doing it, or it's not speaking to you. I just couldn't resist any longer, since I ADORE these signatures.

@Chaoyll: No problems there =)

@Avari: When you say glow, I wonder if you mean the solid lines (usually black) or the one sig where it is decidedly more of a glow effect (zhuge's) but basically they're both really easy to do once you get the hang of it. All you have to do is make a layer in photoshop that has clean edges and then go to the layer style options. If you just want a solid line you can choose the Stroke option and if you want it to not alter the image you can set it to 'outside' not center or 'inside' and it will be a clean outline of the image. You can change the color, opacity, size, etc. on that tab.

If you want more of a glow effect you can choose the option Outer Glow from the same Layer style options. If you don't see anything show up at first, choose 'Normal' from the dropdown box at the top, and then play around with the sliders. It's obvious what 'size' and 'opacity' do, and again you can change the color of course. If you move the 'spread' slider, it will change how much glow appears within the limited 'size' you designated. I cheat sometimes and set the spread to 100% and opacity to 100% and it appears the same as the 'stroke' option and seems to be a solid outline. That is how some of these sigs have what looks like two lines as an outline.

Honestly, be fearless about googling stuff like this or searching it on youtube; whenever I think of an effect in my head or see how someone else did something similar I will go to searching and usually find TONS of guides from people WAY better than me. I'm just trying to say I'm definitely not the person with many answers for you lol, and let you know who I get my learnings from (interwebs!! D:)

@Rhapture: Really glad you like it! Like I said, I still love the sig that Ashaine did for you and I thought it made your character look awesome (i mean come on those ICC axes were so badass looking, and his work was lovely as usual), so I'm not surprised that your night elf was so photogenic in this one as well =P At least half of it turning out well was also your own doing since you picked some lovely pets & outfit & hairstyle that all went very well together =) If I had full artistic license to just 'make something pretty' I could almost see myself happening upon a similar scene =)

@Rhyela: Thanks! I am actually extremely hesitant to go with pink tones or put anything as girly as a heart on sigs because even if I know I'm making it for a girl, I don't like to assume every girl likes such things, or maybe they would get tired of them easily. But I don't know, I just couldn't resist with the models I was given for that one =P

@Mozag: I'm happy to get requests for more unusual scenes, and I appreciate the character descriptions since you are giving me some artistic liberties without a direct scene. With what you have told me it will be a fun challenge to experiment in model viewer and see if I am capable of portraying some of those personalities effectively =) Also when I come back to this request I will likely just screenshot what I come up with in model viewer and send you a private message to confirm if I got the looks right. From there it should be simple for you to tell me if I'm off 'it's the hair that's a little darker green' or whatever I think =)

Thank you everyone throughout this thread for being so supportive and encouraging! I was inspired to learn how to use WoW Model Viewer in the first place because of the beautiful things I have seen everywhere around the internet, including signatures just like Vephriel's & Ashaine's here on good old Petopia! I am also fascinated by Machinima creations by people like Gigi, Wopairs, Quixotic, and a million others, and though I'm only now starting to try to create the video myself, I have long been in love with the art they create for things like Youtube backgrounds or their videos' introduction graphics. I used to be GM for a raiding guild that was doing heroic ICC stuff and I made (unnecessary amounts lol) of art for our site to look fancy and no one really even cared except for probably me and a couple others. So coming here and being able to create some things that people are actually happy to use is a really fun thing for me =)

I taught myself photoshop when I was growing up, because I draw and wanted to be able to turn my pencil sketches into clean professional looking lineart, and it took a life of its own. I have worked unofficially as a graphic designer for a printing company that was hard-pressed for someone to fill the job, and learned to use photoshop a little better as well as some other non-graphic related software, but at the end of the day these have been a bigger learning experience for me than any of that, so I'm thankful for it; I want to get better and you guys are giving me reasons to be googling how to do things (like that fade-out thing you see in Rhapture's background, or the blur in Jabberwocke's wallpaper) and it helps. I didn't even know how to make a clean border the right way before the first couple XD

Much love and sorry I ramble so much <3

I think you ask about what t12 set was called before and its Flamewaker's

Once again, this looks fantastic!

...I wish I could find a video of the Doctor (Nine, of course) saying that word to link to every time I say it. I would make the world so much better.

Hi Sookie! I have a sig request as well

I LOVE your sigs, so I trust you can come up with something neat My favorite colors are hot pink and black. I'd like to have my character with Loque'nahak (Skythe) and the white devilsaur (Beasty) and my companion pet phoenix hatchling flying around. and maybe a little pic of me flying on my Time-Lost to the side or something? For my name i REALLY like the font you used for Rhapture's signature as for text I just want my name (Druna). What I kinda have envisioned in my head is me kneeling with Loque's paw on my knee or something with the Devilsaur to the left of us and the phoenix fluttering around. And to the right a pic of me flying on my time-lost. You are probably more creative than I am and might be able to come up with something much better tho

My armory:

Sookie, I'd like to edit my request just a tad. Since Aeladrine on Nesingwary is lvl10 now, would you mind using her? She look exactly the same, and the pet projection I gave you was for her, but there's one key difference-- the tabard. I'd love it if you could use the tabard. Other than that, there's no change.(:

Obviously yours is a LOT different than the others. I wanted to start working with renders for backgrounds instead of WoW screenshots or photographs, so I created the splash image you see behind your toon, but it took me a long time to be happy with it. Your pets and armor had a lot of different colors involved, so it took me a while to rework the colors on the models & choose the colors for the text & background. Anyway long story short I think the above version is the best but I will give you two other versions of the sig as well in case you like them better than how I ended up making it

If you do like one of the two above but you don't want them so big let me know and I can cut it down smaller if you want, I was just too lazy to resize all three not knowing which one you'd choose and if you'd even want the smaller version =P Also if you don't like the big splash image behind the character let me know and I can easily just remove it and/or add a simple border and/or solid or transparent background instead if you want. I feel kind of bad because I hope you weren't wanting something just like what someone else got because this one was so different <_< I'm happy to reformat it to be more like the others if you are disappointed that I didn't make something else...

Oh. My. God.

Sookie, you have nothing to worry about because the words to describe just how cool these signatures are... Well, there are none. I honestly had no idea what to expect from the signature since I ended up giving you so much freedom, but whatever it was going to be, I knew it would just look spectacular. And that is beyond amazing. Not only that, but I'm bloody jealous I can't make signatures like that.

Christ, and now I have three versions to pick from. I think I like the top one the best, it's the most colourful and eye-catching. But the bottom one has a somewhat 'Horde' feel to it. Hrm... You've given me such a hard choice, but I think I'll pick the top one. (The original one as well, I'm assuming.) And it'll also match the avatar nicely. ^^

Hun, you have totally made my day. You've cheered me up with this a lot as well, since my now five-day-Aeonaxx-hunt is going with nothing to account for so far. I hope he spawns soon. Plus my boyfriend got some bad news today that's upset me a little as well. And I had a fight with my mum. So this has really put some shine back into my day.

♥ THANK YOU SO MUCH SOOKIE! ♥

You're such a sweetheart!!
Thrilled you like it and hope everything cheers up for you

I'm being serious too when I say that when I first saw it and realised it was mine, my mouth opened wide and I just went, 'Wow!!'.
