Okay so i am redeeming my sig request:

Sig:

Request Size: Normal Sig Measurements
Request Text: World of Monsters
Request Sub-text: Where there are monsters, there are champions
Text Location: Under the throne
Request Theme: I want a throne like when Arthas is sitting in it as the lich king. And then behind him the shadow of something evil looking, you know like its projecting the monster within.
Request Color Theme: blackish grayish
Images That You'd Like In Your Request: What you think works best.. preferably a throne, very spooky feel to it.

Thanks D-Dog, love you <3 Also how do i make it change signatures when someone refreshes the page? i dont want to toss the masterpiece you first game me. Or can you make that sig, and this one alternate? a .png that changes every minute or so.

There is a simple solution to your problem: Every minute, change your signature manually in your profile settings!

No, but seriously, is it even possible to make it change like that? I don't think I've ever seen one here on Hive.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

Pyrite does it with his avatar, and i remember people in this thread plotted to do that with their signatures

 

[DsDarkMaster]

yea its easy to do i use to have one
just google rotating sig and there are some links to do it

 

[InfinateAnswers]

Could you vm me some info homie?

 

[Dragonson]

Short status update guys, as i am actually working at the moment and i wish to do so mucho fasto!
My PC has been fixed, as i previously stated, but due to the fucked up state what it was i forgot to de-activate the activation code on CS5 before i wiped everything.
This might end up meanin' that I'll have to directly contact them Adobe guys to get it fixed, but we'll see!
Sigs will be flyin' in the window the moment i get this thing fixed!

...and now I better stop with all these apostrophes.

 

[phoenixfire]

Dragonson, how come your computer messes up so much?

 

[Kanadaj]

He is downloading illegal stuff with tons of viruses, so then he has to clean his computer

Just joking, keep up the good work Dragonson! By the way, I've seen you online on steam while you were inactive, but you refused to give us a sign that at least you are alive... May I ask you why?

Oh, and I had a request before, did I cancel it myself or is it just missing from the list? :3

Idiocy.

Also, yeah, i think you cancelled it. You can ask kevv, tho. I think e's got those under control.

EDIT:
Sigh...
Short update: It'l be about a week from now.
Sorry guys, but the whole activation-deactivation 'You can only have two active computers at once' stuffs that is the DRM on CS5 is quite hard to deal with at times.
I apologize for all this waiting, i really do, but at the moment i can do nothing Artsy.

 

[Bugz]

Don't worry, we wait patiently

 

[Foronisus]

yeah i wait too so wheres the list or there is not list?

 

[HOooDy]

Do you still working on all request ?

 

[RedClaw]

Dragonson sup long time no talk

 

[RedClaw]

Guys i don't wana advertise for me or anything but draggy is offline and i can make things you like insted so come at me and request what you requested here.

 

[phoenixfire]

He's getting it fixed, he won't be off for long...

 

[DsDarkMaster]

^

double post and that is advertising
please dont post about that stuff on this thread ill set Midnighters on you if your not careful

 

[Amargaard]

Heh, you're gonna get flamed soon Mr. Advertiser/Doubleposter.. *readies popcorn* :b

 

[phoenixfire]

So I don't get it, if you don't want to advertise why are you advertising?

 

[Dragonson]

Blah, finally getting CS5 running.
I am installing it AS OF RIGHT NOW, so there is hope on the horizon yet!

Thanks again for bein' montrously patient.
-Dragonson

 

[Foronisus]

Hmm one question i was on the list but never got a pm about my request and also i saw other people that werent on list got new pictures. So i need to make new request?

 

[DsDarkMaster]

if your on the list you will need to resubmit your request because of a clean up thats going on atm

 

[Dragonson]

And i am BACK in BUSINESS!
I've immediately started working on Peper's sig, as he is next up.

I'm gonna' start doing a new thing now, btw, as my methods of working have changed somewhat:
For each sig i do, i will post one or more versions of that sig while it is in development, so that for one the base concept can be approved by the requester, and the requester might actually be able to customize his sig a bit himself.
This is mainly because, well, it's a good idea, but also because due to the increase of plain sigmaking prowress that i have experianced i now put much more time and detail into each sig.

So, here is a VERY ROUGH SKETCH of peper's sig.
Note that the sketches which i post finalize NOTHING, not even sig-size, as mostly they are simply a small fragment of the full image.
In this case, it is the part which i'm imagining to be at the center.
For a bit of reference, it's gonna' be a size in wihch the text is readable.

So, Feedback time Mr. Peper! ^^

 

[phoenixfire]

Hm...

Y'know, that signature doesn't seem at all like your style, Dragonson. Where's the famous circles? Most of it is pretty basic geometric shapes. No offense, but I don't think that is your best work.

 

[Chaosy]

yay finally! Dragonson knows that I want a signature from him I think I have asked him 2 times

Request Size: Normal size, does not matte aslong its not too big that I can't use it as sig
Request Text: Chaosy
Text Location: middle
Request Theme: Dark lightings
Request Color Theme: black-ish
Images That You'd Like In Your Request: *blank*

 

[-Peper-]

Because he has already RELEASED THE CIRCLES lol.
@Drag maybe some shape can be round-edged, but it's not necessary. Maybe you can add the famous circles, but It's nice already.

Wasn't necessarily about the circles, just that his previous style seems lost in this signature.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

Well you guys didnt read it closely, he said thats the part that will be in the center, not the whole sig, he wants to know if hes on the right track.

 

[RedClaw]

Gah i wasen't advertising i was offering another way to get ur sig ;'(
Good to see Dragonson is back
And i didin't double post check the posting date ^_^

 

[Foronisus]

[RedClaw]

Uhh Dragonson, i might suggest a thing so you could be more free.
I could help you make requests and afther i make them you could put the finishing touch.
That way you could have a bit more time.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

Dragonson does his own work because its his work to do. He will not say this to cause offense but simply to explain that he does not want help with the art that is his signatures. You aren't the first one to offer, and you wont be the last one he says thanks but no thanks to.

 

[claptomanic]

[GunSlinger]

DUE TO ME BEING A LAZY ARSEHOLE, I CURRENTLY HAVE TO CLEAN UP THE MESS WHICH I'VE GOTTEN MYSELF INTO. BECAUSE OF THAT I AM CURRENTLY NOT TAKING REQUESTS.
COME BACK WHEN THIS BIG RED TEXT IS GONE.

Check the first page.

 

[Chaosy]

And i am BACK in BUSINESS!

well he said it himself

 

[Vladadamm]

Yep, but he don't take new requests, firstly, he finishes the actual requests.

 

[Dragonson]

Gods, you guys deal with all the cumbersome explaining for me these days, dontcha?
Thanks a ton. ^^

Okay, so, in this version of peper's sig (the overdetailing-process now at 20% efficiency) i've gone for a Grotesquen Assembly Line/Futuristic Army Look, altho i'm not sure it's quite apparent yet.
The path i went down in this version has a lot of chaotic elements in it, and at this point, apart from just general feedback, i need to know whether this type of look will work for you or not?

Please, do be aware that ANY change is possible. If you want a complete re-do, then just say so.

 

[phoenixfire]

Now, that looks much better. The middle alone looked a bit wierd and strange, out of your style, but now it is back in your style. Good job, Dragonson.

 

[GunSlinger]

Epicness spelled all over.

...... Completely speechless with your epicness.....
Go on, that's a nice base.

 

[Dragonson]

Alright then, how's this Peper?

 

[InfinateAnswers]

I was expecting a fade effect, that just looks like a filler because you didn't know what to put =/

 

[Dragonson]

Not quite but close.
I wanted to add a more down-on-earth bit to it, to soothe the bright red a bit.
So, i took a brown facade and added texture to it, allowing for a background which wasnt too far off the color scheme yet at the same time varied it and calmed it down.
On top of that i used it to give the bloodstain a bit more room, and also as a kind of 'glue' to make the whole thing stick together a bit better.

It is true that it's base purpose was to give the sig more size, but that in and of itself can be a very useful element.
Adding more high-detail metal plating or glowy red spheres, or pretty much anything, woulda' just overloaded the thing.
In short: It needed more size, but it did NOT need more detail. So, a relatively detail-less background was applied.

EDIT: Damnit, i'd +Rep you for the critique but i've applied to you too recently. My apologies.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

Yes but the point i was making i knew you needed size and a 'glue' of sorts, but i was imagining something like your sig, a fading effect of a darker color to contrast, it just doesn't quite flow well. You made a hard line that is skinnier then the outside you added making it look out of place. If you had left that area skinny from the metal plate, and then faded with some rectangles or something of that nature that went out of the side to give it width, it would lack the length you achieve with that browny background, but it would definatly flow better, and give the blood somewhere to smear itself on.

You added a new element to the picture, that brown section, and that makes the colors fight for attention, the focal point should be the circle, hence its nature, to draw attention. But that color contrasts so strongly with the blood stain, it actually draws my attention to the blood, then to the mysterious figure in the brown section that i cant quite make it, and want to know what it is.

Edit: We look at everything left to right, but as an artist you know that.

 

[Dragonson]

I think we disagree quite simply on what looks good and what does not, so i will hold in my arguments for now and wait for Peper's own judgement.

You may have a point though.
When/if i make something for you again i guess we can have a phenomenal art debate. Now is not the time, tho.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

Lol yeah everyone has different brains, so everyone see's things differently.

 

[ShadowDruid]

Hey Dragonson, do you take requests again?

 

[phoenixfire]

No. And since Hive needs at least 4 characters - Stop asking and learn to read.

 

[GunSlinger]

Request Size: Siggy Size
Request Text: GunSlinger21
Request Theme: Apocalypse

 

[-Peper-]

It's.... Fucking amazing!
But can I ask something? The free spot in the right beside my name looked 'empty', can you add something like 'portrait border' so I can insert sum pic anywhere there?
And I demand more paintjob in the outer metal piece!
Other than that, very friggin' nice job.
