Like this - it's the first one

Then you simply copy the image location of your sigs, and give each sig a slot in your rotator!



Unsure of this one, I sort of winged it :') CnC?


EDIT:

@Optic: There are some basics:

- Render Placement
- Colour
- Lighting
- Flow
- Depth

To see where you are naturally aligned to and where you need to work on, we'd need to see what you create

Whatever you think is good, beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Oh, and what Marky said

Well then why are you interested in making sigs, if you don't think anything looks good, then why do you care?

Do me a good one with this

Sized 550x100

Find a matching background and simply incorporate my name small somewhere.

Which artist do you want, Grindstone? Marky is on holiday so he won't be here for a week.

I'd like to see only the head, shoulders and torso, just find a background you think fits. Thanks!

Is it fine if I used a different render or view of that Protoss unit? I'll try to make it work, but I may have to use something else. It's just that with the width of the image and the height from the arms to the head is too large for a 400 x 150 signature. I might be able to render it, but don't count on it.

Whatever you think will make it look better I'm fine with, I am a complete n00b when it comes to sigs. So yeah, it's fine if you use a different render of one.
A larger sig would be fine too, if that gave you more room.
EDIT: I think just the head and shoulders would be fine, without the arms do you think youll have enough space?

I'm really not sure, I would be able to resize it, but the problem is that background it has. Because when you resize the entire image, that cloudy part also gets resized. So I'm not sure that I could get it to the proper image size with the background there. A bigger image would be bad for the signature limitations on this forum, as it's only 150 or 135 or so. Take my signature at the bottom for example. The height in only 200 pixels and even then a ton of it gets cut off. The other problem is the fact that just the head and shoulder will look weird, lol. I'm PM you a really nice Protoss render I found, see if you like it. I've seen it used before, so I'm sure it can as well. It's just that this one's going to be very difficult. Just for future reference, not every image off Google Images will work in a signature.

Hello I would love to have a signature made for me! This is the first time I have ever asked for one so bare with me if I sound like I don't know what I'm talking about.
- I want the size to be large, but not so large that the signature gets cut off
- Render/stock: I would like this image to be the stock: http://images.wikia.com/metroid/images/3/37/Artifact_Temple.jpg
I would like this image to be transparent and overlayed onto the stock, almost like its a ghost in the background. I think it would be best to place this image on the left of the signature and reverse the image so the character is facing right. I'm looking for just the upper body to be used for this image.: http://www.aeriesguard.com/var/crypte/storage/images/media/images/chozo_manual/873206-1-fre-FR/Chozo_manual_forum_large.jpg

That might be a bit hard because of the stock not having a transparent background, but because there aren't any intricate designs on the edges of it, I'm probably going to be able to render it. I'm also going to need to blur the background to add depth and put the image in the center as to put it in the focal point. Going to do Poisonbreath's signature first, but I'll get to that next. Thanks for all the support and requests guys

Since people seem to be requesting sigs, I think I'll request one from Ghost

Do it whenever you feel like it, I'm in no rush at all :P

EDIT: And make it a wallpaper, I want to see what you can do ;)
