Print Page - Sig off?

That was me being facetious - most folks around here use my banners... lots of the ppv's banners have been done by me, as well as the Carnage logo, the old Legacy stuff, the Power10 banner, Spider's Parlor and others.

With my job, graphics and design are kind of "just another day at the office" for me. Its just nice to be able to sit and put a lot of my influence into the concepts that get used by you lads - whereas when I do a tattoo design for someone, I find... or it's more apt to say... I tend to at least feel as if I'm working For someone as opposed to building something more wholly out of my own creativity. Doing sigs is a lot more fun so far as creativity goes because generally it's an all over a looser concept - for instance I look at a character like Nick, right?

Obviously Sparkles and Bubble Gum Pink don't suit... so I kept it dreary and dingy, decrepit and decayed looking. I threw in the infected, necrotic veins to widen out the back drop and Mick as a pic base worked wonders to take stage as the focal point. For that though, I went through a couple of your rp's - rather than looking at them critically as a staffer... I look at what it is I'm getting that you're trying to portray. I ask handlers what if any colour schemes and phrases they want included. Nick Sadistic's is a lot more in line with the kind of creepy and macabre stuff I'd do for my own art so it was all really easy to find a flow with it.

Actually yours, Miserias and Alex Anders' all basically flew together in a matter of minutes once I started. Manny's and Brad's were challenging and oddly I can... and have - pumped out sig after sig for a handful of people in a day, just boom, boom, boom, boom. But when it comes to designing one for myself... the one I use was like Version 9.9 from the beta concept I started out with. I like how I get to explore more options with sigs and banners - because we do have a wide array of characters and each has their own personality.

I'd have to say, lately - Anders' was my favorite to put together... but Miseria's - I still just love to look at. It has a lot of pop and brightness to it without being done in a "Pop" style. Although Misera's very persona is that of being a dark point from the otherwise bright and lively Lucha world. As such, the gradients I used kept it dark and grim to suit the Miseria personality and to try and give a visual impression of the duality that the character encompasses. He's high paced and active in the ring, he's high risk and near suicidal... but put a mic in his hand and things slow right down - he takes a psychological control... he's calculated and strategic.

A lot of sigs being done well - is really just a matter of trying to hit on "What is it this character is about?" - Alex Anders' is a perfect example... he's a Nerd... not a super spy. BUT... I for one geek out about 007, I found an image that suited and went with the concept that a big enough nerd, especially one on a mission like Alex seems to be as of late, moreover still, a mission being held by someone who is as charismatic as Anders is... very well could lean into the 007 type of geekery. As far as how his was designed, I just used colours he liked, I used some slogans he busts out in virtually every rp and a few homemade bullet holes later.... you get what you see on his profile now.
