Ok, well, can you at least tell me a little more? Its much more helpful to get a basic color you want, the names of the characters possibly, and what you want it to look like. Please be cooperative. Sorry, but I need more to go on. I can't pull all my ideas outta nowhere. It helps to take in everyone's artistic ideas so that I may both learn and finish something great. So please, respect and uphold the following:

1.) DO NOT REQUEST A SIG FROM MULTIPLE SHOPS AT THE SAME TIME. This is rude. Sig shop artists will post example images on the very first page of their thread. Choose your shop based on the style you enjoy the most and SHOP CAREFULLY. Take the time to look around so you will be happy with your sig once it's been made.

You wouldn't go to an Italian restaurant to order something Japanese. Don't go to a shop that specializes in hardcore graphic design and expect them to make you something glowing and elegant. Most shops are relatively diverse, but every artist has a unique style. Choose the one you think can adhere to your request better and stick with it.

2.) DO NOT REQUEST A SIG FROM ONE SHOP ONE WEEK AND ANOTHER SHOP THE NEXT WEEK.

3.) Specify in as much detail as possible what you'd like your signature to look like. This includes, but is not limited to:

* Size
* Basic Color Ideas
* Theme
* Text/Formatting
* Background Ideas
* Images or Characters
* Frame or No Frame


If you don't know all of these things, there's nothing wrong with that. HOWEVER, expect a signature that isn't EXACTLY what you're picturing in your head. Shop owners are not mind readers. It isn't fair to leave out details and then, once the artist has posted your sig, ask them to change or add something to it. Most sig shops will be willing to change your sig for you once or twice, but it IS a pain and we'd rather get it right the first time! SO HELP US HELP YOU and BE AS SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE.

4.) Include in your request any and ALL key images you'd like in your sig. Backgrounds are generally up to the artist, unless you have a specific image you'd like incorporated in there. Do not ask the sig shop owner to go hunting around the internet for a picture. This is your job.

5.) IT IS NOT THE SIG SHOP OWNER'S JOB TO TAKE CUSTOM PHOTOGRAPHS FOR YOU. This is also your job.

6.) If you don't like what is made for you, make it yourself. If you really really really want changes or revisions made, please request them politely, but don't expect that everybody will do it for you.

7.) Be patient. Shop artists have lives outside of sig and avitar making. Respect their privacy and their space. Make your request, be polite, and you will most likely be added to their running lists of clients.

8.) Having your personalized signature is a privilege, not a right. Shop owners have the permanent, undeniable right to refuse your request if you have violated any of these or their own personal rules.

9.) Give credit where credit is due. If you didn't make the sig, don't turn around and claim that you made it on this or any other site.

10.) If you request an avatar to go along with your signature, remember that avatars are SMALL. Most sig artists understand that, so if they can't fit your entire name on the avatar please understand: they're trying their very hardest to give you a great avatar, and personalize it as well. If the artists feels like your name won't fit on there, let them find a clever solution to the problem. Like using your initials for example.

11.) If you do require or request a redesign for one reason or another, do not expect it to happen instantly. If the shop owner has a long list of people waiting, and you want something else done to your already-completed sig, you MAY be put on the end of the list. You MIGHT be taken care of immediately, but it is entirely up to the artist. Many factors go into sig-making, so please take this into account.

12.) Understand the size you've requested and what it will do to your signature space. This means that if you order a sig that is "full size" (that means it will take up your entire sig area) do not, upon receiving the sig, put text or links above the sig. THIS WILL CUT OFF YOUR SIG and diminish the overall look and appeal of the image. If you want space to put your links or quotes, communicate this to the sig artist so they can tailor a smaller sig to fit your needs.

Remember: When you request a signature, you are requesting a specially-tailored, unique piece of art. People usually have to pay for this kind of thing. The cooler you appear to the artist, the more willing they'll be to work with you through redesigns and other things. So be polite, be understanding, and remember: we WANT to help you. Make your requests as clear and as easy-to-understand as possible and you'll more than likely end up with one of the coolest things you've ever seen.

That is not the POINT of what I posted Delta. These are basic guidelines for everyone to follow. You are taking it out of context and its not helping. These aren't written by me, these are the basic rules most forums follow for Art Shops. Rules that I and everyone else follows. I never said I'm not going to do it for you. But, I need you to tell me what you want. In no way did you state if you wanted an avatar or a signature or a background or anything else. You are taking it too harshly. But if you want to take it as such, then you can. I do work for everyone, but I need to know WHAT I am working on. Here is an example of someone else who has such rules and one of the places I got it from:

Post 1;Firebomb;Section 6;Quote 1

Mind you I'm not as great (I <3 Bomby's work =D), but it still the same idea. And nobody on there ever had a problem with revisions to the guide he made.

Edit: Please do not delete a post you made on here for any reason. Editing it for the sake of editing is fine, but I will restore any posts that are deleted that I can. I am sorry, but there is no reason to have a blank message. And idk why you would delete one on here anyways. So, please, not being a hardass, but please refrain from deleting or erasing posts on here.

Ok, well, I'm gonna have to double post here. You see, I will be gone for the following month as most of you know. Until i return home, i don't have any of my editing software with me, so until i can get home, I can NOT work on pictures. Does this mean you still can't make a request? NO! Of course you can, but don't expect it until July. I WILL finish anything submitted within the month of June by mid-July. I promise. Until then, I bid you farewell. Enjoy summer peps! =D

hope this isn't too difficult, if it is, contact me, and i'll change it

Well, i haven't been around much lately. School's been a pain and it keeps me from being able to come and do requests. I've been away for so long. I might take requests again from old friends, but as for now, meh to most others. Just wanted to post some other stuff i've made recently.



Cell Phone BGs I made too for the LG Vu











Thats it for cell bgs.

MORE ART lol























Made this displaying 3 Ryu sigs I have made over the past 2 years. Shows my change from Paint.NET to photoshop and then advancing in photoshop. Idk how good i am, but i know i'm better than i was proving anyone can do it so long as you work at it

Hey Cost Can u make me a cool Super Mario sig out of this picture?


http://onlinesupermario.com/images/realmario.JPG

Lol thanks. And I love your logos. Pretty cool. Mind giving me a few pointers on a how to?

Yea it IS a double post on my own thread. If it doesn't kill you, don't complain lol. Sorry, just tired of people giving flak on other forums for double posting ONCE on a user's own thread.

hey, cost nice to see you posting here again!

Don't worry too much about my request from before. It was a bit much to ask of you though i do love your work.

keep on working!

I'd like a signature if you aren't too busy.

Size: just the average signature size, whatever works for you

I'd like a few of my favorite video game characters in it, whether they are tiled or however you wanna do it. Whatever is easiest for you.

Characters: Poliwrath/Toad/Spyro/Classic Sonic/Crash Bandicoot/Sackboy from LBP

I'd also like my username, "Weber121", somwhere on it.

If you can do anything it would be greatly appreciated.

I'll get on that as soon as i can. Been busy on a farm this summer (literally) so it may be a bit. But i'm up for it. Btw, if you need help with making a competitive Wi-Fi team in Pkmn, I'll help you on that. I suggest a Ninjask with Baton Pass, Swords Dance, Substitute, and Protect. Then use a team of well rounded beat ATK based beatdown Pokemon. I suggest a Metagross with an Ice Punch, Meteor Mash, Earthquake, and another move of your choice. Pokemon of that nature work perfect in that combo due to Speed Boost from Ninjask and Baton Pass switches the stat changes to the next Pokemon. Very useful utilizing stat gains.
