I am going to continue showing examples of graphics I have made, and this post is going to focus on designs I have made in Photoshop.

Several years earlier I became obsessed with designing and making signatures for forum users to display at the bottom of their posts. I have made many of these, but unfortunately most of them were on my old computer which is now fried. I only have two of them, although I am sure there are several floating around online in random forums.


This is a signature I made some time ago, using a render of an archer from the game Guild Wars. I mirrored his image several times in order to get the slight ghost image above him. The only thing I don't really like about this is the font color, because it slightly blends in near the bottom right corner. If I were to re-do this one, I would probably do the font in white or a slightly lighter color.


This is a bit more recent, and this time I used a render of Sora from Kingdom Hearts. I focused on lighter colors this time, and tried to make Sora stand out a bit more than the archer in the previous signature. The light blue and green colors, which often signify tranquility, are a perfect match for his expression.

As you can see, both of these feature characters from video games. I have been and always will be a gamer, and so used renders and images from games which inspired me and had an impact on my life. I feel that if you have a connection to your work, it will be much higher quality because you will care a great deal.

Well, anyway, that is it for now. I am going to see if I can find some of the animations I have done for the next post.
