Boiled Frogs Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) Hey guys, I wanted to become a bigger part of the forum, so seeing as I'm an illustrator I thought I'd start making sigs for people if they want them. I've only recently thought about this so decided to do one for myself to give you all a taster. http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/8915/horrorsigcopy.jpg http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/3051/bullysigcopy.png http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/259/skate2sigcopy.jpg http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/3037/deadspacesig2copy.jpg http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/2944/res5sig.png http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/4962/batmansigcopy.png http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/3023/deadspacesig1copyp.png So basically what I'm proposing is, if you would like a sig, post with; -the text you would like on it -the game you want it to be about (for example mine is left 4 dead) -anything you would particularly like to have going on in it, or if you can't think of anything in particular I'll have a go myself, but humour preferably - and anything else you can think of that you might want to tell me I like drawing funny scenes really, as I think it suits my style. Also from viewing my work on other's computers it has become apparent to me that the contrast usually appears a lot higher on older, glass monitors than lcd or laptop screens, so I'll quite happily alter the contrast for you if it appears too harsh. I'm not sure how popular this is gonna be, maybe nobody will want one or maybe lots will (I should be so lucky!) but I aim to do about 1 a week, as I have to fit it around my other projects, so first come first served I guess Thanks!

Boiled Frogs Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 thanks guys, I just realised there's a gallery area where I should have posted this, hopefully a mod can move it for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightdragon Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Moved it for you, maybe you could add some of your work to the thread so we can see what sort of stuff you create? I like your current ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purge Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 They look great. Mind doing like the same thing for me, but with Harvey Dent/Two-Face, The Batman and The Joker? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boiled Frogs Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 Thanks will do. to dom, I'll have a go at a sketch but are there any other ideas you might have that still revolve around batman? I can include all those characters but I just don't think it'll look to good having the same kinda joke in your sig as mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boiled Frogs Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 Mabye three people standing at a police photo or something? Getting a criminal record? Batman on the left. Two-Face in the middle. Joker on the right. But with the two-face mabye mabye make it with me instead? In my kilt? Or mabye even all three of us in a kilt. I'll put up a picture. http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/7299/70284627.png haha, now thats a good idea, kilt and shirt with bow tie and jacket yea? I'll sketch it up tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purge Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) Thanks If its half as good as the one you have currently in your signature then I'll be a happy Scot.

Madman55 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Something GTA4 related, possibly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xBootstrapp Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Whoa, thats really good work. May have to request one in the future Im terrible at sketching/drawing. Nice job with the coloring too, what program do you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oDrPepper Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I love both of those sigs they're amazing! If you could make me one to do with Resident Evil 5 then I would be eternally grateful. I'll leave the design to you, as I'm not as creative. Thanks, and keep up the amazing work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesyp00fs Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Great to see you getting requests, im expecting to see a lot of these kind of sigs around the forums now great work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boiled Frogs Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 thanks for all the positive feedback guys Glad you like them. I sketch them in pencil, then put a piece of acetate over the top and do the ink, then scan it in and do the colour and shading on photoshop with a pen tablet. I used to do the black with the pen tool on photoshop but i think you get a much more natural feel when its been hand inked. to the gta 4 and resident evil guys, i'll have a think about some funny ideas, ive only played the res 5 demo though so not too knowledgable on all the characters, still i guess its pretty simple, good guy and woman with guns, bad guys are zombies. If both of you could post with what you want to be wearing or doing or any idea of what you want going on that would help, well i definately need to know what you want to look like, clothes and hair etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oDrPepper Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Seeing as you've never played RE5 I've compared games with you and if it would be easier could you make a Castle Crashers related sig instead? Also sorry to be awkward but the only thing I can think of for adding me into the picture is for you to base it on my avatar which you can check by clicking my gamercard. Thanks.

Boiled Frogs Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 maybe, but castle crashers is already a cartoon would be hard to do my own style of it if you know what i mean, still i'll do it if you dont like the following idea; you in the place of chris (the guy in res 5), getting attacked by a zombie and like help help, but the womans just off in the background like 'i broke a nail nooo'. Lol. But if you dont like that then i'll think of a castle crashers one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oDrPepper Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 It's your effort and genorosity going into this and your RE5 idea sounds nice to me, whatever's easiest for you. Thanks mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagged 88 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I like your drawings you must put alot of time into them. I cant wait to see your Res 5 idea sound pretty dam funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boiled Frogs Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 ive finished the res 5 drawing, gonna do the ink and scanning tonight, then the colour tomorrow if all goes according to plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murkage Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Request Please Theme: GTA4, I think it would turn out good. Text: Clip (One Clip Killer) People: Nico Bellic, Anybody you want if you have played GTA. Thanks, They are awesome btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkApollo Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Could I get one of these? They look really cool. Very unique. Maybe something related to the game Bully? For the text, probably just DarkApollo. Not really sure what could be going on. Maybe something like someone playing a practical joke on someone else (you do that a lot in that game). Throwing a stinkbomb at someone? Or someone tripping on marbles? Thanks and keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throwing a stinkbomb at someone? Or someone tripping on marbles? Thanks and keep up the good work! haha i saw my friend playing that game, its like gta in school lol. I'll sketch a few ideas up. Sorry if it seems like im queue skipping here, I'd just rather do the ideas that are more resolved first so it gives me more time to think about the ones where people have just stated games, hopefully you'll all get your sigs Good news though, I'm ahead of schedual and have just finished the colour on the res 5 sig, all thats left is the shading which i might even do tonight, depending on if i get sucked into halo again! Thanks for your support everybody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesyp00fs Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Woah your sigs are becoming quite the hit, keep it up How long does it take for you to sketch these up? because they are really pretty cool haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
