Hey guys, so I used to be a GFX designer on a somewhat popular RSPS called OS-Veldahar about a year ago. If you happen to have played that server and were active on the forums/server, my name was Nautical. Anyway, when I started making signatures on that server, I was using photoshop cs4 I believe. I then worked my way up to CS5 and started playing around with Cinema4D a bit. I'm not claiming to be an amazing GFX designer, but I was still learning and I like to think I was somewhat decent. Here's a few of my works, all done completely from scratch (Please note, looking back at these I see some things I did wrong and some things I could have done better. Once again, I'm not claiming to have been an MLG artist):
I also did some work for a clan on the server called PvM Pures. Here's the banner, the logo I came up with, and an icon I made for one of the members.
I was improving my skills more and more each day, then eventually I hit a plateau. I was also going through a lot of stress at the time, so this combined with the pressure of having to fulfill orders and work on multiple signatures/icons/banners each day led me to just quit the server and forums entirely without saying a word to anyone except the leader of the clan, to who I refunded money because I couldn't fulfill an order he had payed for.
Anyway, I was thinking of getting back into it now that I'm in a better place in my life, and I also really like this community, so it would be cool to be known (or at least recognized) for something around here. I still have a lot to learn though if I want to be considered good, but I'll get there. So I was wondering if I should get back into it? And if I did, I'd hand out 4 free, completely custom signatures OR icons to those who request them here just for the sake of getting some practice and broadening my abilities a bit. So let me get your thoughts, and if you want a free signature, just post on here saying so with the following template filled out and if I decide I want to give this graphics thing another chance, I'll get to it.
[icon or signature]
[Name you want it to say]
[Font: (optional, but thicker fonts look better in sigs;leave blank if you don't really give a shit)]
[Overall theme]
[Graphic (optional)]
[Any other instruction/preferences]
Thanksssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
EDIT: Made the font a bit bigger bc walls of text with a small text size are no bueno, also changed up the template a bit
