Hey guys.
So, on most forums that I come to like, I eventually like to offer up my skills as a Photoshop artist. I've done a ton of signatures over the years, and I've posted some examples below.

So, if you'd like a sig, please let me know in this thread. Don;t PM me, as your request will likely get forgotten. Also, this helps to bump this thread, which means that other folks can see it, and get sigs.

Guidelines for your sig:
-Sizes: Image size and text size. Remember, maximum signature space on DakkaDakka is 150 pixels, so if you intend to have a few sentences, as well as the signature image, make sure you specify a size that will accomodate both.
-Subject matter: What do you want the sig to be about? A specific craftworld or Chapter are good examples, but id doesn;t have to be 40k or even miniature games related.
-Name/Text: Simple one, what do you want it to say, and how should it look?
-Colors: If you want photoshop magic art instead of subject matter, what colors would you like?

Note that I may take artistic liberties. I know what will work with the software I use and what lies within my capabilities, and I've got enough experience to generally know what will look good.

All I ask is that you've got 100 posts, to show long term commitment to the the forum. Also, remember that making these signatures cuts into my spare/hobby time, so I ask that you consider using the image for a decent amount of time. I'm more than happy to work with you to get it "just right."

New rule: please go through the trouble of finding the artwork or picture you'd like to use for a background. It saves me a lot of time, and it means you'll get your sig faster.

Some examples from over the years:







I can also do userbars, which are easy as pie. One of my favorites:


Finally, if you need help designing a chapter Badge or Craftworld symbol or the like, I've had lots of experience designing Patches for airsoft teams, which are similar:

...Screw sigs, can you design me insignias for decals?

Can you do me a Space Wolf, on a snowy background with the words "For Russ And The Allfather"
Please?

Yes and no. I'm not an artist, per say. I can cleverly manipulate simple images, but a complete illustration is beyond my abilities. If you can provide this piece of artwork, I'd love to help. I will see what i can dig up, but it might not be exactly what you want.

EDIT:
Here's what I dug up:

Thanks!! it's Epic!!!

Any chance of a tau battle suit in a city background with the words "For the greater Good"?

Thanks

Could you do me the linked image with the word 'Grimm' on top.

I'll see what I can do. i'll see what I can dig up, but it'd help me greatly if you could help search for the artwork.
Any specification as to font style, text color and effects?

Shoudn't be an issue. Any specification as to font style, text color and effects?

I found this picture

Could you try and avoid the bit with the tau being stabbed as it isn't very flattering for the tau.

The text used in the example in your first post that says "Mustang" would be good.

Wow! You're good . Very nice of you to offer this service!

Not really, anything's good, as long as it doesn't cause too much hassle for you.

Gentlmen, you'll have to excuse the delay. I moved into a new apartment two days ago, that doesn't have internet access, got violently ill, then received a shipment of unassembled furniture from Ikea. Needless to say, I am swamped.

You signatures will be coming once I get a bit more settled into my new environment.

At this time, I'm not comfortable taking any more requests until I've finished the current batch. After that, I'll be open to doing more.

Grimm, here is your signature.

4M2A, I'm having trouble finding that picture any a suitably large size. You;d think there would be some nice big scans of the cover, but no...

Ok, that is a bit suprising

I'll look and see if there are any other similar peices of artwork.

I've settled in to my apartment and have gotten decently caught up on my workload.

Shop is reopened.

I'm interested in a sig

Anything you can make for me Blood Ravens wise or Khador wise. (or 1 of each!)

He Commander Endova,

Can you make me a sig for Cryx?

Picture to base it on:
http://andreauderzo.deviantart.com/art/Nightmare-96126023

Text should be:
Cryx, Because otherwise the Nightmare will haunt you

Font is up to you, but something creepy will be most fitting...

Thanx..

Whee! Thanks again for the sig Endova!

Thanks a Bunch Endova. The sig's great.

@Roleplayer: Shouldn't be a problem. I'd especially like to do a Blood Ravens one. Unless you want the art to be from one of the DOW games, I would love to do one based on the mini's you've painted. If that sound good to you, would you mind PMing me a picture of them to use?

@LordRavurion: Not a problem. I'll get on it ASAP.

@Combatmedic/Grimm: You're welcome guys!

Sorry for the double post. Just letting you guys know that I'm heading out of town for a few days. I've got a lot of your sigs in progress, but at this time, I do not feel comfortable taking on any more requests, at least until I get back.

I'm back, and I'm hard at work on Lord Ravurion's sig, and I'm awaiting a response from Roleplayer. I also wasted a bit of time making this schweet new avatar.

Sig shop is open.

Just finished Lord Ravurion's sig:

He endova, thanx for the sig. Replaced mine now
Good change to the text too...

Have to get a new avatar though

Small question for a adjustment though, is it possible to shrink the text somewhat and place it more in the righthandcorner?? (so just under the nightmares face...)

how about one for krusty?

maybe with a deathwing terminator?
similar to combat medics with the terminator filling one side, with my name on the other? dark greens for the background, the name in a color similar to the color of the termies armor?

Hi,

Can I have a picture of IG infantry with "501st Cadian"
"Patients my ass, we're gonna kill something"

"Patience", Aldra.

Hi Endova, great work!

I was wondering if you could do a sig for me?

I was thinking the picture from the IG codex cover with "We will drown you in a sea of our dead, 775th Cadian"

Hey mate,

wondered if you would mind making me a signature, with the picture from the Black Templar codex, and any suitably cool quote, phrase or battle cry across it. (I trust your judgement on the exact words.)

Could you make me a signature with the Canadian Flag, as well as a Techmarine? If possible, add the following motto:
Ad victoriam ante mortem!

Urm...if you're not too busy, sir, would you perhaps consider doing a sig for me? Ideally I liked the image below cropped to just include the Grey Knight in the foreground, and the words "Suffer not the works of heretics" in some suitably epic font (your discretion).


Thank you.
