ViviMasterMage Sigs.

**ViviMasterMage** · 08-25-2009, 06:30 PM

I just want to be assessed in my work, I'm new to it and would like genuine comments, any constructive criticism would be appreciated but not insults. Thanks!

First of all, you need to put this in "Signatures and Avatars" sub-forum, which is at the very top of Art Discussion. It's not just for sig shops. It's for banner threads in general. Also, we're allowed to put 5 sig images in one post now, but please try to refrain from double posting in the same day.

I have some more for show!

Without the render:

Grim reaper:

**Violet** · 08-28-2009, 11:19 AM

They're very colorful, I like the backgrounds. The green one is your best one so far, I think. Other good one is with Vivi in it. Keep up the good work! My only suggestion is to try using different fonts rather than just the thin type. Oh yeah, I also like the background in the Bleach sig. What kind of things do you use to make your backgrounds?

**Freya** · 08-28-2009, 11:30 AM

Oh hey, I like your style! ^^ It's quite plain, but it's enough. It's not filled with thousands of effects, you know how to keep it simple but still it looks good.

But nevertheless, I have a few things to say:
Firstly, in your second post, the green signature... It looks better without render, because it just doesn't fit in my opinion. Also, it's very very green. I like that, actually, don't get me wrong. The thing is that there is just green. It would be good to have.. let's say one or two colors more in the pic. (I fail at that, too, but I was told that there should be more color in sigs than just one ^^")
The one thing I love about this sig is this.. tribal (?) on the left side. It really looks good! How did you make that? Or did you find it on the internet?

As for the Catz club signature, I think you see yourself that the image wasn't cut properly. And also the picture doesn't fit. I mean, it looks like a person on a background. There is no.. connection between the pic and the bg. I hope you understand what I mean, I can't put it into clear words I fear. :/

By the way, I like the green sig best. Although it's just green, but it's such a lovely green... <3

**ViviMasterMage** · 08-28-2009, 11:33 AM

Well really I use peoples abstract backgrounds on the internet, I like them because they are bright and colourful, it's also very easy to use them. There's nothing to it but I wish to learn A LOT more in the future, I am only a beginner right now so I need as many tips and hints as possible.
I check some regular sites to learn some new things like making renders and smoke and fire ect...
My friends all help me by telling me if the colours look right together and basically my friends support made me start making sigs.

**GypsyElder** · 08-28-2009, 03:09 PM

I do a lot of artwork during my free time. An I'm currently in school for it. You have a great eye for color.From what I can see you tend to use colors near each other on the color chart. You also do a good job of picking out complementry colors. I don't know If you study or know a lot about that but If u naturally can pick out complements like that, that really good. An example of where you did this is the yellow Sonic. That very small strip area of violet/purple screams off the sig, and thats because yellow/ orange is a coplement to purple. Using different shades and tones of a color does you good. It's nice that you don't use too may colors because that tends to make things look weird and not mesh together well if you don't know a lot about color.

Also for the Bleach one. Choosing the purple backgroud was a good choice because the only color coming from the focal piont is the orange colored hair. Everything else is neutral.

**xXCloudXx** · 09-14-2009, 10:52 AM

I really like them. You should make a Cloud one. I think it would look really good. I like the ones you already have. They ar very Creative. Good job

**ViviMasterMage** · 09-14-2009, 11:43 AM

I might start making sigs for characters in Final Fantasy games!
Thanks for the complement!

**xXCloudXx** · 09-14-2009, 04:11 PM

Your welcome. That is a really good Idea though. i am artistic but not on the Computer. I like to actually feel what I am making. Thats just the kind of person I am though. Your work is really good and I hope to see more of it soon.

**Midnight Panda** · 09-14-2009, 04:27 PM

youre real good for a first timer man. good job. keep up the good work

**Alther Primus** · 09-14-2009, 04:35 PM

Hey! mind if I use the grim Reaper one?
Or maybe you could make one for Citezens of Chaosthroph?

**ViviMasterMage** · 09-14-2009, 04:36 PM

Not at all, do you want me to replace grim reaper with the text: Armageddon?
Sure, when I get the time, maybe tomorrow I'll make one!

**ViviMasterMage** · 09-15-2009, 05:10 PM

I've made some new ones!

Citizens of Chaostroph:

Just a mess-around sig of Kain Highwind:

This sig was for xXCloudXx:

Sora's Final Form:

Another Mess-around sig of Scrooge Mcduck

DUCK TALES A WOOHOO!

**Dodie16** · 09-15-2009, 05:20 PM

I am LOVING the Cloud sig! Kain Highwind is pretty epic as well. I love how you did the splashes of that red color in it. Gives the sig a bit of subtle visual interest.

Scrooge McDuck=Win. Enough said.

**Midnight Panda** · 09-15-2009, 08:05 PM

hey, you should try one for vincent valentine for me. would ya?

**Arch** · 02-09-2010, 06:29 PM

That Sora Sig is sick dude! Awesome job, i cant believe your a beginner i wish i could do what you do. how did you learn? i want to learn really bad, what program do you use?

**ViviMasterMage** · 02-09-2010, 06:33 PM

I'm not exactly a beginner now! Haha! I started this thread around 6 months ago when I first got into banner making. Thanks for the compliment! I've made loads more but I forgot the thread existed.

I use Photoshop 7, it's the best to use but if you want a free one, I suggest going for GIMP or Paint.net, they're good alternatives for you.

**Ethan Blitzball King** · 02-18-2010, 07:11 PM

Hey Vivi I just wanted to thank you for making my signature I really like it alot

**JuzamDjinn** · 02-13-2011, 01:57 AM

That is a really nice signature that the blitzball guy has.
I'm interested in a Malboro themed signature and matching avatar, feel like doing it? The other sig shops seem to price the combos at 500. Ill pay that, or more if the sig is good.

My only requests is that is has a Malboro appropriate colorscheme, and includes the text "JuzamDjinn"

I know I just made a new sig, but I'de like something a little more Final Fantasyish to use here.

I've attatched a couple of Malboro pictures, if you know of any nicer looking ones, feel free to use them.

Edit: Never mind, I made my own. Paint.net is great and so easy to use

**ViviMasterMage** · 07-24-2012, 08:33 AM

It has been quite a while since I've been here and I just want to say that I'm re-open for business if someone wants a banner making.

I'm also wondering if I can get a moderator in here to delete all the previous posts and make this place look fresh? I'm not exactly bothered but it would make it easier to see new requests, if any.

I'm just going to show some up-to-date work because all my other images have seemingly 404'd:

**Joxsjua** · 07-28-2012, 09:57 PM

What you think about making an old school megaman sig? I was thinking the original 8-bit Mega with maybe some bad guys around or some thing general to that idea. If you think that would be something you would do; should I send you some pics to get a better idea for layout?

**ViviMasterMage** · 07-30-2012, 02:00 AM

Yeah, I completely get your drift. What were you thinking? Like the Stage Start screen in the background. If you give me a vague ideas with the images that you might like in there along with the colours you want (I'm obviously assuming blue.), then I'd be more than happy to make you one. =)
