Taking Signature Requests for Practice

I dusted off photoshop and thought I would poke around at making my own signatures, they're not amazing pieces of work but I think they're fine

Anyways, I want to poke around some more on photoshop but it get's pretty boring doing the same character and doing made up ones just has no feeling to it so if anyone would like a sig let me know. I would also like any feedback/tips/advice, I'm a newblet when it comes to photoshop I just learn by trial and error and what few specific tutorials I look up.

Generally I need this info:
Quote:
Face:
Head:
Body:
Hands:
Legs:
Feet:
Weapon(s):
Job:
I can do more than one player, same player different jobs shown, list jobs etc, whatever you want I'm willing to work with pretty much anything because it's all a learning curve for me. I'll give any idea a shot at least once :]

Oh, here's some examples:







I also did this, I know proper photoshop pros will cringe but to me it's a stepping stone in getting better:



Also for the hell of it I thought I would show you the one and only sig request I got asked for before, it was on a different forum as you can see

Re: Taking Signature Requests for Practice

Pretty good! I've been meaning to get a new one that's not just a screen cap of Lucky Star or a Kirby comic strip... *cough* Allow me to partake in your lessons.

Face: Mithra 6a (I will always regret ever picking this face. So overused...)
Head: Protective Spectacles
Body: Drachen AF
Hands: Drachen AF
Legs: Drachen AF
Feet: Drachen AF
Weapon(s): Thalassocrat
Job: Dragoon

Something like the second/third sig would look nice. :D Maybe one in an action pose and another relaxing with Kagero (wyvern). Pretty much, use your imagination as you please. Any results will be okay in my book.

Edit: Oh yeah, and I don't suppose inputting the words Slushy in large font and Dragoon in small font under it would be too much? >3>

Too much? Never!

I know what you mean, I think my face model is the most used for Hume F.. it get's kind of depressing. I'll work on something, it's 3AM at the moment so it'll probably be done tomorrow :3 Chance is I'll play with a few sig banners and you can pick and choose ^-^

Any chance you can use a penta-thrust (or any thrusting pose) against a Windurst background? I've owed him something like this for some time but I lost photoshop X.x

Thanks for offering to do this.

Body: Gallant Surcoat
Hands: Gallant Gauntlets
Legs: Gallent Breeches
Feet: Gallent Leggings
Weapon(s): Carnage Sword

The name is Suquamish, and it'd be great if you could figure out a way to work in a Haida style orca or raven; for example:

Thanks for the consideration

How's this? If you want me change anything let me know, I've kept it's photoshop file so I can tweak it if you want me to :]
I used my mandrogora feeding idea and turned it into a wyv petting idea

@everyone else: I'm going to work for a few hours but I'll get started on them after, they'll either go up later tonight or tomorrow morning :]

Re: Taking Signature Requests for Practice

\O0O/

That... that is just beautiful. For a newbie in Photoshop, you sure know your stuff by now. I for one can't wait to see your future works! Thank you very much~ And while I hate to bother again, is it possible to raise the wyvern's head to eye level? ...Well, in this case, chest level... or something. Looks more cuter in my head. X3 I'm gonna get shot for even saying cute.

Of course, allow this to be a last minute edition to your work session. Don't want to hog other people's request and make them wait. I can be patient like a fox!

*Stamps Kirby Seal*

Edit: I just realized all the requests are Mithra. I knew it! We'll be the end of Vana'diel!

Re: Taking Signature Requests for Practice

I'll try changing it, the reason I did the head down was so it was in contact with the hand, I'll put it's head up and see if I can make it look good X3

Thankies for the compliments and I'm glad you liked it, it's my best by far! <3

EDIT:

Here goes, better?

Splee! That little touch up made it even better. Kinda gives it a more caring tone, eh? Thanks again for your time! Can't wait to see how you do with the others~

How's this Malacite?

@ Nandito: glad you liked it :3

@ Gentoo: Is Palmerin's shield the same model as Darksteel shield? If not could you tell me what else it looks likes because I don't have it listed >_> most likely because it's under some other shield of the same model. I don't want to give you the wrong one by accident

You're right on the money -- it's a Darksteel shield clone.
