PeterPawn Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 This is inspired by another thread "The Story of Your Username." What I would like to do here is to know what inspired the design of your SIG. So I'll start. I love the fractal, flame & reflection look, not to mention using paint.net to express that love. So, what inspired the design of your SIG image? Quote My devART Gallery My SIG Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Post your current sig so that people can see which one you're talking about even after you change it. Mine is based upon the fact that I like chess, I like Adobe Illustrator, and I like 3-D modeling. :-) Simple as that. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kemaru Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Well, I was trying to make something very elegant, but I didn't want it too be anything too complex. Then I came up with this butterfly effect thing. I first tried making a background full of butterflies, but that would've broken the concept of it being simple. So, I decided to go with only one butterfly. Then I had to decide the colors. Blue, my favourite color, was an instant 'yes'. The only problem was the other three colors. They had to have high differences in contrast, but they had to blend together, so they would look good. I tried dark brown, and very slightly blue-ish white, but they weren't much of a success. After countless color pairs, I had an idea of black and white. The rest sort of came by itself. The swirly thing under U was pretty easy because I had used it on many other occasions. The big blue flowery thing I put because flowers and butterflies are always pictured together. It looked really boring when it was just blue, so I made that "gradient".

Noodlez Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 i love halo and i thought the render would go good with the background (made of tons of textures blended together) and the rest was just experimenting. Quote My DeviantART | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedHONDA Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I'm generally minimalistic, yet I don't like keeping the status quo. That's why my main signature is so simple, and why I set it to load a number of other random signatures via PHP scripting.

RevertedLogic Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I like the three singers in my sig. Two are from a death metal band and one is from a metal rap band. It's all destroyed because it fits the metal theme. Quote My Youtube Channel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zwicky Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 My sig was originally just text on a transparent background, borrowed maybe a tad from (edit) David Atwell's checkmate sig, and it evolved from there (check my gallery and you'll see what I mean).

Sozo Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Well, I was messing around one day in Paint.NET, and my mess morphed into my previous, blue version of this sig/avatar. After a few moths, I decided it was getting old, so I changed it from blue to red and made the borders darker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survulus Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 For me it was the wild west, simple as that. There seemed a lot of modern or futuristic sigs about so I thought it'd be nice to do something different, something that wasn't presently being done.

PeterPawn Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 Good idea survulus. I like the old fashion look. The sig looks good. Ray Bradbury is my favorite sci-fi author.

survulus Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Thanks very much, yours is very good too, on the Lord of the Rings kind of theme. Wow, I have to say I loved Fahrenheit 451, currently doing it for a school disseration. And I went to see a performance of Something Wicked This Way Comes a little while ago. Good writer.

ChitoDog Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Mines was actually an accident. I first started off tinkering with the settings while checking out a font effect tutorial. I liked the text effect so much, I worked my way around it and came up with all kinds of ideas, but eventually decided on this design (thank goodness for unlimited Ctrl + Z lol). I then just made a smaller version for the avatar as well. I just wish I was better at softening the round edges without making it look too blurry and spreading out. I'm not too good with that. :?

PeterPawn Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 @ChitoDog: I really like your sig. You did a great job with the chrome effect. @ShK_828 : You didn't explain what inspired your sig. It looks good. I like your Avatar too. @CommanderSozo: That's cool. I don't remember Harrison Ford looking like that. I must've been buying popcorn. Quote My devART Gallery My SIG Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
