I entered this for a competition once:

Me wanting to advertise Team Midnight:

Image


Me advertising my fan fic (which I stopped writing because I realiseed I hadnt planned it)

A sig I made for Serpentsounds in the Psypoke Secret Santa. I havea a feeling I never gave it to him...*oops*

Image

Another one I did for a competition:

Image

My personal favoutie that I made for a friend:

Image

EDIT: Most recent one, that came to me during a most boring lesson:

Image

OKay, be honest please!!

I used some of the images off Google for my background, and a variety of the Sugimory images came from Pokebeachk, but other than that, it was all done on Paint. Oh, and I used the Watercolour feature on Word to make the Deoxys and Mewtwo sig like they are.

Very good for someone who only uses paint...10/10 I'd say (I just wish I would've started like that back when I started making sigs *remembers* * shrugs*

Wow! This is really good! And that's my serious honest opinion. What separates your work from others is the variety. There is so much different here! Many signature collections often seems as if they were done all in one day. Yours don't :P

I think the Serpentsounds one is the best. The colours look really nice, and the background fits well with the text. I love it!

Thanks everyone!

Yeah, my style's vary, I think it's the schizophrenia in me. :P
I too especially like the SerpentSounds one, as I spent ages with that one.

I think my worst one is the War of the Titans. I mean, I used nothing but spirtes, text and a crappy background. Ugh. (no offence to those who do that, I just personally dislike the style.)

What I wish I could do more than anything is make the image slightly opaque. That way, I would be able to, say, do a big old picture of CHarizard in the background, with the base all fiery, and have Flannery at the front or something. *opens paint to do a new sig...*

Thanks everyone so much!

My favourite is the one with Blaine in it. I don't know how a person could do such good work on Paint. Tell me, don't you have any other programs on your puter? And if so, what?
Author:  The Obsidian Wolf [ Sun Mar 11, 2007 12:17 pm ]
Post subject: 
Nope, tis the only program I use.

I get my images such as Blaine and Buuburn from Pokebeach, and I nabbed the fire background from Google. Then I spent ages making it so that I could put the two images on top of the background. I had to remove all the background out of Blaine and the weird shadow thing that was around Buuburn.

I used to have Serif Draw Plus (which, ironically, is what I did the War of the Titans sig on :P) but after my computer died, I used only Paint. It does what I want, but as previously mentioned, I would love to make things opaque, and would love to be able to make my own backgrounds...*dreams...*

For a person that uses only paint, you are my idol :)

I use to have the same problem, I had a GFX shop on my old forum, however, I only used Paint and occasionally this nokia program that installed itself when I plugged my mobile into the computer (I used it to drop the glow, shadow, bevel or emboss the signature I had made using paint). Definately 10/10 I admire your work. The deoxys one is my favourite

I'll give you an 8/10 just because it was done on paint.
Well done.

Sick as in...cool? Awful? Thanks, if it is the former, oh well if it is the latter. :P

The thing with Paint is patience. Having to make sure edges blend is time consuming, but worth it in my opinion.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, I'll update with a new sig soon or something. :)

No, sorry, that's a product from GQ, Goldenquagsire's shop. If my skills were that good...well I would go into serious business!! (I must give credit to it, methinks...)

I agree with you. Of course, maybe you're used to Paint, so I guess that then it's okay. I really like the way you did the Deoxys siggy, using Unknown and such.

there fantastic! Do you use something else to get them faded eg. the deoxys one? I've tryed several times on paint and I can't do it.

Any way, there brilliant, 11/10!

Very true! I use Microsoft Word to make it faded. I copy the finished thing (or in the case of the Mewtwo and Deoxys one, I took the background) shoved it in Word, right clicked and made it into Watercolour I think. Then I take the new one, and put it back in Paint.

So Rapid, I lied. I do use other programs, Word and Paint.

I would love to get gimp, as for Photoshop, I'm not good enough at it to make proper use of it, and it would be a waste of money.

I really must do a new sig, but I'm only just getting enough time on Psypoke, let alone art work... :(

I see your point, but GIMP doesn't cost anything, and once you've learned how to do everything you can do on Paint on GIMP, all the other effects come naturally. What I'm afraid of is that you'll lose your unique style if you start using another program. *Tries not to worry about others* :P

10/10 the team midnight one's background is amazing if it was done in paint
Author:  The Obsidian Wolf [ Sun Mar 25, 2007 1:14 am ]
Post subject: 
I kind of slighyty a lot stole the background from the internet. And Dragonite. That was one of my easier sigs to do. But thank you regardless!

NEWS!

I am getting Photoshop or something of the like from my friend, and will hopefully be updating every so often with great wonderment of...greatness! (Art, in other words.)

So how come you like the deoxys one? It is mostly accumulated by sprites, and the images behind it, I can't really see too well, they're too light. I probably couldn't do any better, though....

Otherwise, 100/10!

BTW, nice pixel over for your avatar!

It was because the Sprites worked for that image. When I used a Sugimori pic of Deoxys, it didn't look right. And the Unown text then worked well with the sprites. The War of the Titans one was just quick advertisment. Crap, in other words.
