-squeals- Off to fix my signature and avatar. <3 Thank you SO much!

Edit - All Fixed. And I love it. I cant thank you enough. =P

Serenith, you are such a star. ♥

And your signature for Mychelle is just magnificent. It really is. I'm stunned.

Aww, thank you hun

I've finished with Concussion's request. So here it is:


I had to exclude the one mount cause it was a bit crowded in terms of layout.


And a matching avatar... I tried to design the flowers on the bow with some photoshop brushes. It gives it a cute touch I think.

Oh. My. God. That is beyond what I even imagined... Thank you SO SO much!!! I couldn't have asked for a better siggie or avatar...just blown away right now. I have to scurry off and put this in my control panel!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

EDIT: Okay, now that I've had some time to calm down from being overly excited, I just wanted to write in what I *love* about this signature and avatar. The way you featured Rhok'delar, added the detail of the flowers within the avatar... How Nimae's back foot falls on the same plane as Slimer... The balance of pets in the lower corner and TLPD in the upper, the signature feels symmetrical to me (which I enjoy ). Nimae's pose is kickass, too. Lovely background choice, I knew I'd asked for a lot packed into a small space. The background gives an open feel, and provides a complementary backdrop to the colors of the armor, pets, and mount. I really like the spit of vegetation that reaches out to the sand, the positioning pushes Nimae and the pets forward / TLPD back--gives extra dimension to the siggie. Lovely choices. Thanks again!

*drags butt back in to take a look*

I just read your behind-the-scenes post on how you were able to blend two positions together. If I knew what went into doing that, I would have asked for a simpler position! I'm so sorry. *sweatdrop*

Your work is looking beautiful as always, Serenith. I can't tell you how awestruck I am when I see your work out and about in the forums, it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Keep it up!

No need to be sorry. It got me to push myself just a bit further in WMV, and I've gotten so used to it I do it fairly often now to make more interesting poses. The pose Nimae is in uses that technique too... and Mychelle's two characters are in special poses as well... so really I should be thanking you for forcing me to learn how to make it possible. Not to mention several people have asked me how to do it so they can do it themselves!

That looks awesome!!!

Thanks, the pen tool is awesome to work with... first time I tried it out I thought it was the most impossible thing to use, but its actually pretty cool and easy now that I got the hang of it. Photoshop has so many freakin tools... just so many. Too many things I don't know, so I'm pushing myself to get outside my box. Figured trying to replicate spell effects might be a good push... or it could just be insanity!

Oh wow, Serenith, you make me so jealous. ;-; My signatures look so simple compared to yours! And that's one reason I'm on a break now, so I can practice and improve on whatever I like.

Is the font... glowing? Or is it just me? Either way, it looks so golden and magical, so stunning.

Yeah, I added an outer glow to it to go along with the whole spell effect. Seemed plain without the glow.

Oooooh, shiny! I agree, that font and the spell itself really have a glowing look about them. I'm not sure how you did it, but it looks incredible!!!

Online tutorials are my best friend right now! Several of them combined taught me how to do it, but basically its just the pen tool, and then in blending options adding outer glows and drop shadows, then changing the settings just a bit and finally erasing the areas to make it look like its wrapping around the arm. Seems to be a popular technique in commercial design.

That is simply beautiful Serenith! Then again, all the work you do is

I was wondering why you made Saelisa's wings upside down? Was that intentional?

I don't think they're upside down, at least that's not how I saw it anyway, I kinda just imagine them as folded back almost. I think they look pretty like that.

Yeah, its not exactly correct, not sure how I managed to do that... oh well. I threw the rest of it together so quickly, it doesn't surprise me its wrong. Mostly the pen tool technique was my primary concern. Meh, works for her being a twisted shadow/holy priest, her wings are upside-down cause she is just that evil (well internally evil.. if you saw the work I did of her before with the mirror, she has alot of internal struggles with darkness)

I quite like them upside down though. Somehow they just look right like that.

Finished Vulpixen's druid siggy. I'm in love with this one. Truly am. Put that new technique to work too!

So yes, I used some concept art again, much thanks to the wonderful artist who painted such a beautiful picture. I added some butterflies to the background that reminds me of a Lunesta commercial, and messed with selected colors and saturation to make it a bit more interesting. Ionaya is in a modified shy pose, and I wrapped a twirly light streak around her body and added some glowing dots to it that compliment the glowing look the background has. Gotta say that pen tool is really fun to play with.
