This is my new sig. I'm quite proud of this one ^^

[Jose]

http://www.animeforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=21361&d=1217103339

This is my favorite.

Looks a bit empty but I think that it's your best one so far :3

I like the background, hmm, again try filling it up a bit more but great job tho.

[Diocletian]

Darth Owns.Did you forget Jar-Jar?
Gaara is awesome too.
Hamtaro is the gayest of them all.

[Happi Giraffe!]

hey, those are pretty nice! i especially like that panda one ^^

[SSDynamite]

http://i35.tinypic.com/zn910n.jpg

Not the best, but I like the pink.

http://i35.tinypic.com/2lvllir.png
I did this one today ^^ I'm quite happy with it. But improvements will be greatly appreciated.
(extracted by serated)

[Capernicus]

haha I like your sigs! They're pretty. I especially like the 7th one in the first post. =D How long have you been working with photoshop?

[poison.ivy]

POST#1: Me likes the 1st and 9-11. Also, your latest two are pretty good. Needs some depth and text work, but you're on the right road, my companion. Not to mention AF is one of the best places to learn. ^^

[SSDynamite]

haha I like your sigs! They're pretty. I especially like the 7th one in the first post. =D How long have you been working with photoshop?

Like, 3 months? Something like that :)

[!Deidara*Senpai*Chaaan!]

Yes :) I'd love to do a sig for you. Once it's done I'll PM it to you.

[SSDynamite]

Here's the siggy for !Deidara*Senpai*Chaaan!
The bright teal writing didn't look very good, it clashed too much the with other colours. So I hope this is okay for you :)
http://i36.tinypic.com/2qb6utu.png

Also, if you want it a bit smaller, I can resize it for you.

[!Deidara*Senpai*Chaaan!]

=__= How do I put the siggy pic on my signature so it is BIG and not small and unreadable ^__^""

[SSDynamite]

Here's my new Boogiepop sig :]

http://i37.tinypic.com/28s1vvc.png

[Jagan Eye]

Awesome sig. The vectoring and the pentooling look great. The circles were a nice touch and I'm in love with circles anyways. I also think you found a great spot for your name, completely flows with everything. Great job. ;D

[Rem Nightfall]

I like your unique style on sig making.
It looks nice.
Very good.
Keep up on the good work.

[poison.ivy]

Boogiepop is a smexy piece of art! Lovely chocolate colors, tho I'm generally not a fan of these colors, but I really like this combination. The image is cute, the background is great and the text work is awesome. Wonderful! ^^

[SSDynamite]

I didn't use any vectors in this one :o (apart from... two)
I thought I'd just experiment with brushes (my new brushes >:3)
http://i35.tinypic.com/2guys15.png

[Jagan Eye]

Ah, this is quite the popular extract :D
I think you pulled it together very nicely. It does seem kinda long though, which causes there to be some empty space feeling. I think its really creative how you did the text though. Could be a bit bigger, but its not at all bad. Overall, this siggy is soooo cute and adorable and fuzzy and I love it absolutely. Good job.

[poison.ivy]

Wow, very nice. I like your new brushes. :] Awesome background and cool text work. Good job! *claps*

[SSDynamite]

http://www.animeforum.com/image/16489348bb00e92f2d6.png

New siggy :3

[Jagan Eye]

I love the mirror affect in this sig. The orange is so pretty and not the obnoxious orange which I love about it. AMAZING. The use of the c4d is really cool as well. I do think you could use a different text. Use something not see through? Overall, awesome.

[Capernicus]

Ouh noice. =D I never knew how to do those like...bar thingies...wtvr.

[Ωmega]

Im loving the bg for the Boogiepop sig. And I *LOVE* the text placement for your name. Very awesome stuff

[Scion]

Well that naruto sig looks pretty cool right there. Colors match well with Naruto and the C4Ds(i think those are c4ds x__X) blend in Naruto pretty well. I think you could have done without the white horizontal bar but everything else looks pretty good to me. Keep it going ^__^

[poison.ivy]

Wow, very nice! =O It's pretty crowded and busy, but it still works! Great work, but I agree with Jagan; text could be better. But overall, I like it, it's very good. ^^

[SSDynamite]

http://i37.tinypic.com/2gul18y.png

My brand-new and only-looks-good-by-accident sig :D
I'm planning on moving the text though.

Plus, Jaygen suggested I make a tut. So I might try it out.

[Jagan Eye]

Yo! Jaygen here to give you a jolly good CnC.
That white border was not present when you showed it to me! Make it a thin, really thing darkish blue or green border instead, it'll be more powerful. The butterfly like c4d is soooo cool though and I totally think you should make a tutorial. :3

[SSDynamite]

http://www.animeforum.com/image/16489348bc0b24de365.png

This is the updated version.
I changed the border colour, made the left wing more vertical and fiddled with the text + it's effects.

(and yes Jaygen <.< I'll make the border darker and thinner)

For Jaygen :3

http://i35.tinypic.com/2uhqqer.jpg

Hope you like it :] (totally don't have to use it if you don't want)




(sorry for the double post! didnt realise)

[Jagan Eye]

OMG its sooooo cute! I love it dearly! I am so using it after I use Balance's sig for a little longer. The text is so adorable and I love how it looks like it was written on. Truly amazingly lovely and I absolutely adore it. The red is awesome and I haven't had a red siggy in a long time. Beautiful. :3

[poison.ivy]

I like the second version of your new sig better, it's much cooler now. Great work with colors and patterns! As for Jaggy's gift, it's lovely. That reds are wonderful and that white border is awesome, it looks very strong, yet makes that dark red a bit softer. Great work! ^^

[Capernicus]

I like the text, but I think it should still stand out more. I dunno, you can try a very subtle shadow or glow effect, but probably the shadow would stand out more. And the I think the border should be even smaler, only one pixel in width. ^_^ Just ideas from a bad sigmaker.

[Jose]

For Jaygen :3

http://i35.tinypic.com/2uhqqer.jpg

Hope you like it :] (totally don't have to use it if you don't want)




(sorry for the double post! didnt realise)


HOLY CRAP O_o


Why haven't you made me one yet? Do you not love me anymore V.v?

Anyway I lovavavvavavva (lol) it.

Can you send me the extraction please, (also what's the name of the font you used?)

Yes like Caps said border is a bit trick, maybe try a diff color [1 pixel, black imo]

I see you are getting the hang of the pentool ^^ -woot-

[SSDynamite]

I will make you one asap yosay :3
and its jagans extraction, and the font is.... um "complete in him" or something ><

[SSDynamite]

For the one, the only... YOSAYONEOHONE!

http://i33.tinypic.com/2drwift.png
Hope you like it buddy XD


(lol just realised, kinda big. but feel free to resize it ><)

http://i36.tinypic.com/2yl5lb8.png
and a matching avi :) <3

[Jose]

ZOMG I Lovezzzz it more than fat chick love cake o_O;

thank you so very much I love the greyish color X3 (the ubbah smex)

PLus you need to send me that wireframe XD

[Famahama]

Would you look at that...
Awesome rate of improvement!

Nice sig, but the focus seems kinda dim :/ move the light source a bit closer to the focus

Other than that, Very well made xD

[SSDynamite]

:3 For Kuro <3

http://i37.tinypic.com/29px892.png
http://i34.tinypic.com/aln3v5.png

*manly cough*

[Balance]

http://i37.tinypic.com/29px892.png

Well, not bad. I must say, the flow is unique.

Here's my other C input.
There is a LOT of negative space here, and it seems as though you could have made it a lot smaller.
That's all I can really say, other than Clipping masks for the win.
...aaaaaaand Pen tool.
Other than that, it's great.

[KuroTan]

"Your friends are thirty..." HEY! Who said you could tell everyone how old I really am?! D=

XD

Awesomeness Sarah. Ima wear it straight *manly cough* away. Thanks. =D

koffkoffkoff.

[poison.ivy]

I love both Jose's and KuroTan's sigs, they're great. Amazing improvement o.O My advice, maybe a bit work on the text? That font is great, but imo it doesn't really match everywhere... Keep up the good work! ^^

[SSDynamite]

http://i36.tinypic.com/fw0xaw.png

My current sig :]
Just pen-tooling and stuff. I like the simplistic cartoony look.

[Jagan Eye]

Kyaaaaah! You have mad pentool skillz. This cloud is sooooo awesome ness. I love its facial expression, it sets the whole mood of the entire siggy and really looks good. This is one of my favorite sigs that you have done. Very very cuuuute.

[Balance]

http://i36.tinypic.com/fw0xaw.png

Very cute and very simple.
Although, you could have added a bit more to the background, but that's all.
Again, cute. ;D

[KuroTan]

Cuteness. Uber cuteness. Nice shadowy thingy with the cloud, and the lighting is like, ZAP, awesometastic. Well done. ^-^

Can you count how many made up words were in that sentence?

[SSDynamite]

Seeing as I forgot to do her a sig before, this set is for the ever-butch Capernicus ^^ <3

http://i36.tinypic.com/126cqq9.png

http://i33.tinypic.com/111kvf4.png

You don't have to use it if you don't want, Caps ><'
But I had to make it once the thought came to me.

[Jagan Eye]

OMG that is so cuuuuuute :3
Your pentooling is like the cutest in the whole world, you have such unique little creations. The hearts are just her style. This is definitely the best butch siggy in the world. Amazing amazing amazing.

[Capernicus]

=O

Oh em gee, that sig is like UBER CUTE! And I don't normally say UBER. =D I love it, it's so simple and adorable. I love the idea behind it. The hearts really are precious. <3

No, I don't wear panties like that, fyi. >_>

[SSDynamite]

http://i33.tinypic.com/13zpy4y.png

http://i37.tinypic.com/2j1la9l.png

My new set :) il use after the one from Yosay.

[KuroTan]

Oho. Nice pen work. Very very nice. You're really good at this.^-^ My only suggestion would be to go for some blending on the sig because as it is, everything seems to be standing separate of each other.

[SSDynamite]

Oho. Nice pen work. Very very nice. You're really good at this.^-^ My only suggestion would be to go for some blending on the sig because as it is, everything seems to be standing separate of each other.

Hm, interesting point... I see what you mean.
So tell me, what is this 'blending' you speak of? o.o
><

[Dottie.]

Blending is basically making the extraction look like it belongs in the signature,
You can do it by putting something that overlapps a part of the extraction, like a shape,
You can also do it by smudging, gradiant maps and use of clours.
It is a rather easy thing, I think you can blend, its just using mostly pen tool shapes makes it much harder to blend.
You can look up tutorials here on AF that should show you some blending methods or google it. X3

[SSDynamite]

http://i36.tinypic.com/2vuiide.png


My new Boba Fett set. Inspired by how much of a sweet old man the actor is XD
I love Star Wars.

[poison.ivy]

Great new stuff, Panda-hun! ^^ I specially like Caps' knickers set, hihi. It's really cute. Lovely works, and yeah, your pentooling IS impressive. =O Keep up the good work!

[Lollita]

signatures of
Gorillaz?
o.o
*glomps*
i love you <3 XD

[SSDynamite]

New set. Extract, pen tooling, apophysis and VOILA!

http://i37.tinypic.com/2zobs7b.png

http://i33.tinypic.com/24lotir.png

[Dotbeat.]

http://i37.tinypic.com/2zobs7b.png


The siggy is really cool with the graffiti style ,
You really made the guy the focal point of the siggy (iknow its in the centre but its my c'n'c LOlz .)

Overall , there's nothing really to ''criticise''
its perfect ^___^

[Ωmega]

I love the 2D sig. The colors work really well and it isnt overly done and cluttered with effects. Awesome work =D

[KuroTan]

Loving that pentooling. Smexy. And I see you're working on that blending thing. Well done. ^-^

[SSDynamite]

http://i35.tinypic.com/9thetl.png

http://i38.tinypic.com/21oa1lc.png

New set!

[Jagan Eye]

Lighting effects look really nice in this signature. I don't really like the white light on his face though, I dunno, too brightish. I think that his hand thrusting out is too blurry while his face is too sharp, makes the contrast between them look a bit hard to focus on. I love the molten feel on the right side of the siggy though. Very neat. Its also very awesome how you did the text.

[Scion]

http://i37.tinypic.com/2zobs7b.png

I really liked this sig a lot. I liked the shades of green and the flow coming from the extract. I would have suggested to use the dodge and burn tool to make some of the parts around the extract to stand out some more, but I'm totally loving the outcome ^^

Your latest sig has some awesome depth. That's Vader's apprentice right? lol. The background looks cool but I feel you could have added something to add flow to his arm that could really bring him out some more, like pen tool strokes or a clipping mask. But don't sweat it, its a very cool piece so keep it up.

[KuroTan]

You sure have got depth down on that one. ^_^

That hand. It's reaching out to get me. Craptastic, that's awesome. @_@ The text though, might want to just get rid of it all together. Nevertheless, that's one awesome sig. You're improving in leaps and bounds young padawan. 8D

[Famahama]

New set. Extract, pen tooling, apophysis and VOILA!

http://i37.tinypic.com/2zobs7b.png

http://i33.tinypic.com/24lotir.png
Kinda reminds me of Serated's(coughBALANCEcough) vector style, with those stuff popping out :b

Now as Trey said, Dodge and Burn some parts, preferably the background. Go cheat and use a stock background xD Blur it to the optimum depth. Colors may serve as a problem, since using a green filter would make it like a forest @_@ Sexy work on the pentool, jesu. Very awesome work on flow (people like me usually make em so awkward, it takes tons of tries and references)
anddd, just noticed, the vectors looks plain as well >_>

Focus is to the point, Text is GOD awesome, Colors are a-okay(but could be improved), overall, Very clean design without much interference with other styles.

Very nice ;3



Newest one;
Hm-hm, nice depth ^_^
But try to avoid over-blurring.
And then there's this problem, the hand is blurred, the background isn't haha.
Imo, improvement can be done
the darkness of the guy is what urks me most, could be fixed with curves/levels though.

It's cold here, so my mind isn't thinking and my hands aren't typing well, so I may edit this to continue

[SSDynamite]

A bribe gift for Maru :3
The loops around the cat took flippin' forever to do, but the outcome looks pretty cool. Also, I know the extract doesn't stand out a whole deal, but that's the point of the Cheshire Cat :3 (well it's supposed to be, anyway <.<)

http://i35.tinypic.com/rjjxut.png

http://i35.tinypic.com/2n9m4nt.png

And another set I made. I just got bored and wanted to do something a bit cute. It's not one of my best works, I'll admit that. But hey, it's pink.

http://i33.tinypic.com/ff4609.png

http://i36.tinypic.com/2v3k0sx.png

Also, a gift for darling Trey. Because we all know who is the chief and who is Arby :3

http://i35.tinypic.com/nmn9rd.png

http://i36.tinypic.com/4v4s3k.png

[SSDynamite]

Okay, so it's been two days since I last edited this thread (and still no replies ._.)

And here's my favorite set so far:

http://i37.tinypic.com/ih64uc.png

http://i35.tinypic.com/2duh8o8.png

[Dottie.]

Oh my,

Did you make the vector yourself? I can really admire people who make vectors, takes a lot of patience which I normally don't have.

I love the simplicity of it. And the text of course. Its very BAM. and you dont get all mixed up in the background because well its not there *0*

Awesome stuffs SSD ;333

[Mira Kaiba]

Heh - I like the Bleach sig - it's cute. ^^ The white border with the smallish pink text looks very clean.

The Gorillaz set is great as well. It's so perfectly simple, and I love the text. It stands out and carries on with the half-cut theme of the sig.

Great stuff!

[SSDynamite]

Oh my,

Did you make the vector yourself?

I didn't make it up myself, but it's a vector done by me, yes ^^


Here's another one, I've finally managed to figure out clipping masks and I even dabbled in the blending options! That's why this sig looks a bit different from my others. That's right, I experimented!
http://i36.tinypic.com/1zm1lz4.png

http://i37.tinypic.com/qzhm9s.png

[KuroTan]

Ohoho. Someone's having fun with the pixel thingy I see. Very nice. And keep on experimenting yo. I'm looking forward to the results. ^-^

[SSDynamite]

Here's a couple of updates:

A Bugs sig.
http://i37.tinypic.com/1037dhf.png

And this is something liek 'alien syndrome'. But I just used it because it would work nicely :)
http://i35.tinypic.com/aob9zt.png

[Dark Wolf 09]

Alrighty! I love all your effects SSD, and your amazing with the pentool, I still need to mess around with the pentool, any ideas?

[FluffyDango]

Here's a couple of updates:

A Bugs sig.
http://i37.tinypic.com/1037dhf.png

And this is something liek 'alien syndrome'. But I just used it because it would work nicely :)
http://i35.tinypic.com/aob9zt.png

Love both of them ^^
Awesome work with the pen tool.
On both.

The Bugs Bunny sig:
BuNNy, the to NN is so close to getter, it could look like a W
And don`t you always mark your work with SSD or SSDynamite?

[SSDynamite]

@Fox: Tips! I can't say I have many ><' but I'd just play around with new shapes until you find a style that fits the way you work with your sigs.

@AnimeDes: I completely forgot to put my name on >< I noticed when uploaded it but couldn't be bothered to go get and edit it.

Thank you both for your comments ^^

[Famahama]

EPIC STYLE *A *
The blue and yellow you used worked so well together <3
And the borders -SNAPS- works! Love the thickness there

Then, the image choice is a bit strange ^^;; Cheerful Vector-style with an angry rifle-totting woman? Doesn't work all too well, I'd say a stock background (of inside a cargo ship or something) would do. Along with some small blending changes.

but thats all Imho

Love your pentooling! : D

[SSDynamite]

http://i33.tinypic.com/2dt2gwg.png

http://i35.tinypic.com/n3uhzm.png

A new set. I quite like this one. It's not my usual style, but I think it works well.

[FluffyDango]

Very nice siggy SS ^^
Really nice lighting on it.
Nothing negative to say about it.

Your so creative, can I borrow some of it? lol

[SSDynamite]

New set:

http://i34.tinypic.com/wgtf5s.png

http://i33.tinypic.com/2cegpr5.png

[Balance]

New set:

http://i34.tinypic.com/wgtf5s.png

http://i33.tinypic.com/2cegpr5.png
Nice concept, I can see what you are trying to get at here, but I don't think it worked out that great in my opinion.

I mean, the apophysis is very nice to look at, but perhaps if you just did a bit more work on that, I think you would be able to create something more interesting.

Also a border would be nice. =D

Also, one more thing, it seems like that there is a light source in this signature. Perhaps if you went to Filter>Render>RenderLighting Effects, then perhaps you would be able to manipulate the lighting situation a bit better.

Very nice composition though. Just have small details to work on.

[Jose]

On post #76. Seems you really got the pen tool down, I'm so proud. Even with the clipping mask the right side seems a bit unloved. I really don't like the pixel effect on the left, the pen tool gave it a sort of flowy feel and the pixeled clipping mask don't work well here. The set is pretty amazing, I really like how you change the text color depending on the background, or was that just the blending mode?

Signature on post 78, too big in my opinion, I love how you blended the extraction here and the c4ds here are just amazing. Like Balance said, lighting source is the left side, at least that's what the extraction seems to show, you did make that side lighter but perhaps the right could of been darker... Add a border XP, increase the epicness factor.

[SSDynamite]

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u235/KisaragiZeet/grievoussig.png


http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u235/KisaragiZeet/gav.png

New set :)
For my return.

[Jagan Eye]

Haha, how lovely Sarah. I love the way you did the background. It really brings out the focus of the signature. The pentooling looks really cool too. It doesn't seem unrelated. I like the text and how its small and not distracting but looks good. You blended the siggy very nicely too, so good job with that. Overall, very nice siggy. Good job.

[SSDynamite]

Since I'm going to see him in the beginning of May, here's a Derren Brown tribute.

http://i44.tinypic.com/14m9hu.png

http://i43.tinypic.com/j9ty6a.png

[SSDynamite]

My last thread was closed due to inactivity *hangs head in shame*
However, now I'm back to carry on making sets and stuff, so I welcome any constructive criticism and basically general opinions :)

Also, I guess I'm up for one or two requests :/ if anyone wants them...


So here's my first set for the thread :3

http://i40.tinypic.com/zipuz6.png

http://www.animeforum.com/image/16489349da42774162c.png

[Capernicus]

Looks very simple and pretty, and the color scheme works well with the stock you used. I like it. Those swirls are a nice addition to the generic circles too. For the avie, I like the how you positioned the stock. I think overall it's cute, and I'm not good enough at sigs to really provide any criticism. <3

Welcome back.

[SSDynamite]

I went yellow this time. Although I think I left a bit too much empty space in the top corners... I dunno. Anyways, here it is:
I also couldn't think of anything to do for the text... sticks out a bit :/


http://www.animeforum.com/image/16489349db986c0def0.png

[FluffyDango]

You made that Ichigo one too right?
That one was very plain and well not something I`d expect from you SSD(even if it was months since last sig)
But your coming back fast I think :D

The newest one:
Nice c4d`ing.
But ehm 600x300 px? :O
Go smaller.
Their sigs, not semi-banners hehe.

That Purpley sig:
Nice colors.

And I`m crossing my fingers that you`ll get back to you old pentooling queen self :D
Like the gorilaz tag :D

[Jagan Eye]

SSD is back, brighter, bigger, and better than ever O_O I LOVE IT!

The yellow does not hurt my eyes! Thats very awesome. I think the stock you used could be a bit sharper to match that its huge. And some sigs look great without text, so maybe you should get rid of it if you don't like the sticky-outy-ness. *cough* I want a giant sig plox *cough*

[SSDynamite]

So I made Jaggy a big-sig :3
I hope you like it, though I can add a border if you want one.

http://www.animeforum.com/image/16489349dbb8a75adc1.png

[SSDynamite]

Okay >< this is my first sig done using a photo (not mine, found on deviantART)
So, the verdict?


http://www.animeforum.com/image/16489349dc9602101bd.png

I was thinking of doing some more clipping masks, or more effects but I didn't want to over-do it.

[Magical Soul]

The yellow/orange in the right hand corner is a bit bright...But i still love your work...Tell me if you take requests...

[SSDynamite]

Magical Soul, I will make you a sig if you would like me to :)

Anyways, here's the first version of an idea I've been thinking of for a while. I might make a series of these along side any other sigs I do :3

This is just a... prototype? Basically I drew it up in illustrator and plonked it into PS. Didn't work very well, but I like the idea of having a mascot kinda thing for my sigs. (I was going to say 'a signature signature', but it didn't seem to make sense o.o) But, yeah, this is Thunder Frog.

http://www.animeforum.com/image/16489349dcb4b4b894e.png

[Necro'lic Enigma]

Ugh ....i have to keep asking myself....why didnt i looked at this thread before ? Oo"

One word , Marvelous!!
You have such a different style i must say.
And the one with the frog , i totally loved the expressions of it...tee hee heee...=D

I hope i dont miss more of your work , keep posting !! ^^

[SSDynamite]

So here's the sig for Magical Soul:
(sorry if it's too girly)

http://www.animeforum.com/image/16489349dcc1eb8af1c.png


Also, I just realised you live in Pontefract. RIGHT ON! I have relatives there :)




And thank you for the nice comments to the people who've posted ^.^

Your signatures are so awesome. They all have a unique style but I think they all show your creativity. They really are awesome and I enjoy them very much. I wish I could make sigs as awesome as you do. ^^ Please keep posting. I'd love to see more of your work. ^^

It's a good job there's no limit to how many updates you can do in a day.

Anyhoo, a new sig for myself. Though is it better with or without the gradient map?

I just realised. This is REALLY similar to my boba sig... nvm.

[Magical Soul]

I think it looks cooler with the gradient map gives a bit more depth...

[Balance]

Wow, welcome back.
It's good to see that you are really active...again.

What I suggest is try messing around with smaller sizes.
Also try different techniques on blending.
Because from what I'm seeing, you try to place effects or C4Ds over the subject and call it good.
Look around and try different styles as well.

Honestly though, you're doing really good...
And it's quite surprising that you can still make good signatures after such a long break.
I'm not quite confident with my skills right now. -__-;;

Jaggy loves her siggy but she would indeed love a border as well. XD

And I'm in love with your illustrator frog. You should definately use it as an SSD logo. And design something for the igfx shirt. Oh and make a butter siggy too. Haha.

[Aleyna]

I love all the background effects and the color contrast in the first version of your signature. I'm not really feeling the cloned in bars, cause I just don't like that effect on signatures usually, but other then that this signature is awesome. Btw, welcome back. ^^

The butter sig:

I LOVE the Miku one! It has a calm, peaceful feeling and very good flow! Perhaps it is a bit too bright on the left side of the siggie, but nevertheless, I love this siggie. ^^

[SSDynamite]

A gift for Serated~! Because he helped me with Image Ready :3

It's quite pink, but I don't think he'll mind :3

[Magical Soul]

I really love the colour choices..Well i like pink lol...:D

[SSDynamite]

Churned out another :)

Nice pentooling Sarah. The siggy could be a bit sharper and the light focus could be a bit more defined, but I love the colors. I like the starry starry effect. :3

[SSDynamite]

Here's the sharpened and extra lighting version:

A gift for Maru :3

[Jagan Eye]

The sharpened version looks much nicer. Good job Sarah.

The gift for Maru is really really cute. I think your pentooling is awesome and the cute text looks like sprouting plants. <3

[FluffyDango]

I like what I`m seeing from you now SSD, nice comeback :D
Maru`s sig is pretty nice, nice color.
Nice textwork :3

Could you make me a new sig?
Pweaty pweas? xD
If you need some specifics to hep you on, pm me ^^

[SSDynamite]

Okay, I'm just going to update people on their requests now.
The people who have requested sigs are:
Fyereen
Raiken
Magical Soul/Chii
Des

I'm currently not taking on anymore requests as I have four to do and don't want to take on too much, especially not I'm back at school ><'
So sorry if anyone else wants a sig, but I'll start taking them again later.

[Aleyna]

Your butter signature is hilarious. I love the simplicity. I love the green, the text, and the border effect you have going around the marudashi sig's image.
