Mira:Thanks>That was exactly what I though when I saw the image >>vintage.
UrusaiSevera:I guess it is simple*goes off to change it*
Baka_Black:Thank you^^ for the suggestion I took it here is the result:
Ava:

This sig is a request by Eriol.It is a claymore sig and it is my first splatter/smudge/distort sig It came out...ok i guess.I'm not too sure about the boreders thought.Any suggestion?

I think the sig looks very good and you did a good job with the smudging. ^_^ But more job could've been done somewhat... like an extra effect or even some brushes because the sig looks a bit empty for my taste. MY TASTE. but anyway it's a good job and you made the stock stand out more than the background which isn't a bad thing. Nothing wrong with the borders, I'd say.
Keep it up dear ~

[KuroTan]

ive been heard!haha. XD ur very welcome.^^ ur newest sig looks nice.not too bad for a first time splatter/distort thing.i remember the first one i did in the same style.it just ended up so dirty looking that i only used it for a few days before i replaced it wid a simpler looking one.haha. XD hmm..i dont reali see anythng wrong wid the borders but if ur gonna change it maybe u culd mess a little wid the transparency and make it a little thicker?i dunno.^^'

[Mira Kaiba]

Cool, I like how the Claymore sig turned out; very pretty. I love the smudging and blurring effects. The text looks really nice too. The borders now are fine, but if you wanted to make them stand out more, you could do a simple dashed border in a lighter color. That way it wouldn't cover too much of the sig, but it would stand out a bit. Awesome sig! XD

*1000th post! XD*

[shougo amakousa]

Mira:*throws confetti*yay its your 1000th post and it was in my thread. woot.Congrats. <3
Dashed border.I'll keep that in mind.
Baka_black:Thank you^^. I tried out the tip it came out well I already sent it to eriol I'm just too lazy to post it -_-'
Megami:It looked empty to me to.I wanted to do it like your splatter sig.They are so dreamy*_* but i guess its a good start ^^
aaannd now for my new set.(sorry for being late I had my violin theory exams I passed with 94% yay!)
I just fell in love with the image.
Sig:Brushes credits goes to Misty ice designs(small lyrics brushes)

Its a little big but i wanted it that way.
Ava:

Ava 2:
I learnt how to tween frames(yes I dint know it beforeT_T) here is my first experiment)

SO what do you think? *stands on toes*tel me tell me tell me.

[UrusaiSevera]

the animated avatar looks... weird... the effect you were trying to get.. well it didn't really work...

What you could do if you want to get the "blinking" effect, is to fill in the eyes with the skin color.. put that in a frame and make that frame stay for a shorter period of time, than the one in which she has her eyes open...

Now it looks kind of odd... especially because the eyes just fade.. and don't "close"....


But the signature itself is looking really good and the first avatar as well.

Keep up the good work!

[shougo amakousa]

*looks closely*
UrusaiSevera :Kyaa you're right thanks for pointing it out.Here is the corrected version I deleted a few frames.

~shougo~

[KuroTan]

ur very welcome!^^ i like ur new set.so romantic.^^ i especially like the writings in the background.the effect it gives to the overall composition is very nice.^^ about the avi tho..i think wat you want to do is when ur doing the frames for the blinking, u should make sure that the eyelashes (the curved line at the top of the eye below the eyebrow.yea i know, u probably know that alreadi.but just in case.^^') follows the downward part of the eyelid when it goes down.otherwise, its just gonna look like the eyes are just disappearing into the the skin.0.o but i can see what ur trying to do and im sure its gonna look great!^^

[Mira Kaiba]

Ohh, very pretty Shougo! I love the colors on the new set, the image is so kawaii! The lyric brushed make the background perfect. ^^ The eyes on the avvy look much better now, but I think the layer when she blinks may be too big for here eyes. Awesome set - post more! <3

[Ookie]

I really do like the Claymore sig, you've improved greatly shougo <3 what i find as a nice effect is to first do a new layer with the merged sig, then get some splatter brushes and using the clone Stamp tool define a source point from the image. then splatter some, it makes a nice effect (same as I got with my tekken/Jin set) you can also clip that layer.

Blah I'm ranting, as for the last set of yours... I like muchly, tho for the blinking effect I'd reccoment reducing the upper eyelid still in the frames, you have quite well managed to do the blinking effect but for a smoother animation you should try: leave the orignal picture as first frame, the eye 3/4ths closed for the second, 1/2 closed for the third, 1/4 for the fourth and completely closed for the fifth. then you set the timing to 0.05 seconds for each. The original unclosed eye frame is left for 2.5 seconds, last complete closed eye for .15sec. Hope ya got that xD

This is why i don't comment much (points above) =p But ilu. xD

[Interpreter]

u make nice sigs! very well done, and the eyes, they close better now, n i especially liked the claymore sig. Nicely done!

Actually i'm in a loss of words; lol. XD

[shougo amakousa]

Baka_black:Yay thanks^^
Mira:Thank you....I modified the avatar again.
Ookie: thank you soooo much for the tip.Especially the animating tip I redid the avatar again the blinking is perfect ....but since my painting skills are well bad-_-' it looks sketchy but yay I made my avatar blink properly.Thanks ookie <3
keiko_90:Thank you^^
bulmagenious:Thank you.^^
haha perfect timing but bad brushing XD.
Okay time for a new set this one is a request for Guyver_MK.It is my first grunge sig*hops*
Its based on this tutorial by the way>>>Clicky
Here it is Sig:

Ava:

Thats about it for now.

[KuroTan]

*additional info*

[shougo amakousa]

Baka_black:Yay thanks.
Now for a new set that is completely different from what I usually do.Its a request from Plucky and she wanted something cute.So to increase the cuteness I made the bg simple to keep the image in focus and added an extra render(the flying thing).
Sig:

Ava:

Version 2:

looks like the second one is too big -_-' oh well I'll edit that later.
~shougo~

[KuroTan]

i see we're both moving out of our comfort zones.lol.uber cuteness!haha.XD very nice.simple yet effective.and the litle flying thing certainly adds to the kawaii factor.looks like uve got a new style to add to your repertoire.keep it up!XD

[shougo amakousa]

I know extremely late update.I'm sorry but i've been so busy with my exams and school.Here is a super late request.I still havent got the hang of animationT_T and I have no strength to comment too

~shougo~

[Mira Kaiba]

Nice sigs - I love the Plucky one - kawaii! Also, the Wolf's Rain one is beautiful - the animation is perfect for the sig. Keep posting your awesome works! XD

[shougo amakousa]

Mira:Thank you very much.
Now for the newest sig.This one is a request from Crazy*z.He wanted a sig with a specific background(ripples in black water which was premade.)I've never worked with a pre made bg so it was a bit hard making the colours work.The image is from elfen lied I decided to go grayscale to blend it with the bg.He also wanted animated rain and I gave it my best shot.tell me what you think. pwease *_*
original scan:animegalleries.net

Animated version:

Non animated:

Personally I'm in love with this set. XD
~shougo~

[Mira Kaiba]

Wow, for working with a premade background that didn't match the image, the sig came out really nicely. I love the animated rain - it looks perfect for the mood of the sig. I think the grayscale choice was good - the colors would not have blended all that well, and the black and white gives the sig a great effect. I love the way this one came out!! XD

[Konata Izumi]

That is a lovely set Shougo dear. I like the animated one better because it seems to give off a sad feeling. The background is absolutely lovely and fits the mood.

Keep updating my dear!

[shougo amakousa]

Mira:Yaya thans.Its so good to hear hard work appreciated. XD
Konata:I know it made me sad to see the finished one it looked so *sniff*
and thats why its now time for a happy sig.This one is Trina's request
The image was nice but a little dull so I made it...heavenly^_^.Thats because I love gaussian blur and it loves me too.
Sig:

Ava:

The sig size is a little big because I wanted Lacus to be in the sig too ^^'
~shougo~

[KuroTan]

wow...the b/w one looks very...I can't find the word.lol.Like, everything matches. It's very [insert word that means everything matches] XD Very good job on that one.

For the latest one, I can see you've accomplished what you've set out to do.^^ altho... for me personally, I'm not liking the white noise bits. Kinda dirties up the sig. But then again I guess that's why they're called noise. Keep up the set making.^^

[Day]

Great job. =3

I love your lastest set, like everything about it. To me its kind of peaceful in a way, I mean it made me stop and think of about 2 min. But great work, and Id love to see more of it!

[Yuuki Kurosu]

They are so cuute I absolutely LOVE the Lacus and Kira one! The texture to it is awsome, and how it's kinda blurry-ish to like sorta...to put it simply, I just love 'em xD
Keep up the GREAT work ^_~

[MysticFairyDrmz]

I love them all. Nice work you have there. The set you made for trina and the sig with the rain are my favorite ones. Can't wait to see more of your work.
