SilentElegy Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I have decided that I would like a few pixel signatures and matching avatar to use here as well as other forums. All three of the winning signature & avatar pairs will be used, among others. First Prize: 1 Million Second Prize: 500k Third Prize: 250k Proof of money can be found Here. Signature Size: Tip.it Forum limits Character: Female, wearing dark red robes (top and bottom), dark red hat, gloves, and boots. Also wearing glory amulet and legends cape, holding dragon battle axe. Hair colour as pictured in the reference image. Reference Picture Setting: I would like my character to be standing on the edge of a cliff (cliff bottom left hand corner, character facing right), looking out over a forested valley, with a river running through it. In the distance, the forest ending at the coast of an ocean, with the sun rising/setting out over the water (redish/orange tinged sky). Also, please have a white dragon flying somewhere in the sig. If possible, I would like the legends cape to be flapping in the wind. Text: Silent Elegy - No specific font in mind. Please leave space just below this for other text I will be adding later one. About a 15 pixel strip should be enough. Avatar Size 80 x 80 pixels For the avatar I would simply like a white dragon talon/claw (coming from the side) holding a bloody heart. If you can get it to look realistic (and within 6kb), I would appreciate having the heart beating, although I realize that this may not be possible. Thank you very much, and good luck to all. I realize that some may have exams this week (I certainly do) and so the deadline will not be for at least two weeks. Note: I realize that, because I was rather specific about the layout of the signature, that many of the entries will be similar. What I am mainly looking for is individual touches, and quality of work. Current Entries evorr - The line art seems very messy, Also, the character looks kind of fat. Not exactly the kind of look I was going for. And as Pureleader said, there is very little noticeable shading. Princessa9 Unfinished - It looks great. Can't wait until it is done. frizoid Unfinished - Very nice, it's looking fantastic. Keep up the good work. Ltcbob_JP - Looks good. I kind of prefer sigs oriented from the left side, but that's okay. Since there isn't any text yet, it should be simple to simply flip it over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentElegy Posted January 25, 2005 Author Share Posted January 25, 2005 Thank you, I look forward to seeing your entry. Just out of curiousity, how long does an average pro-pixel sig such as this take to complete? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pureleader18 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 well from my view, it all depends you have school, and that leads to HW, projects, etc. so it really just depends. but it would prolly take me 3 days if im not busy, maybe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice_ring Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 here's an animation with the heart, the animation is a little funny but i needed to keep it the right size :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentElegy Posted January 25, 2005 Author Share Posted January 25, 2005 here's an animation with the heart, the animation is a little funny but i needed to keep it the right size :) Hmm. It's good. However, I would prefer it to look more like a real human heart. Also, it looks kind of weird coming from the top, perhaps having it come from the side? Also, you are planning on adding a background, correct? The talon itself is hard to see against the plain white background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought so, just wanted to make sure. :) SilentElegy, if you want a really nice picture i suggest pming princess and asking her to enter I was actually considering doing just that.

I would suggest you continue with that design, it looks very promising. The dragon looks sort of like a weird plane right now, though, lol. Princess, I love the avatar. The beating effect is great. :D As for Black_Flat's question, I would like the character to be sort of in the distance, though not so far as to be unrecognizable. The cliff and character should be the foreground of the sig, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
