So I've been making sigs for the past 4 months and I thought I would show what I've made from my first sig to my most recent.I would post this in the portfolio subforum, but I'd like to get money for writing and I only want to post my good sigs (if i got any) their.
It also turns out my first sig is deleted off the internet. That's a good thing for you guys cause that sig was horrendous and you do not want to see it. It was for @ml002 so he can vouch for me.
My first sig that is on the site was made for no other than motherfucking AssPancakes.
y i k e s
So for my "first" sig, I don't think it's that bad. It's not a messy sig and it's basic. I like it like that u kno. Moving on...
My first goalie sig for @Kmarko, I actually like the background on this one. Looking back, I should've added a lighting source lel.
3rd sig. Daily reminder that @GeckoeyGecko wants you to update @Plasman.
4th sig was for an Austrian that has since gone inactive
This next one hurts even more though...
My 5th sig for @HenryDeLaMare. A 4th overall SMJHL draft pick by the Falcons that went inactive 2 weeks after the draft :( . I remember sending him the sig and him telling me that he plans on doing sigs too. He never did a single sig after our conversation
I blame @Waters
6th sig was for a player that is no longer with the Riot because of inactivity. I'm starting to see a pattern form for when I make Riot players sigs... hmmmmm
7th sig was made for @Samee
This is the first sig where I started looking at others sig for inspiration. @FlappyGiraffe used to use a city background in his sigs along with a border in a solid colour around the players and I tried doing that. Obviously, it did not turn out as good as a Flappy sig would've turned out.
8th sig for @dizzyDC
At the time, I thought this sig was my peak and I would never be able to make a sig better than it. Happy to say I was wrong.
Over saturated looking back, but at the time of making this I thought that sig was on par with @Wasty 's stuff LOL
Another sig for samee
and another for the Seattle inactive.
And a championship sig for my boy @Thunder39
These past 3 sigs were all made following this youtube video and copying what he did. The video helped take my sigs to the next level. Really recommend watching it if you're a new sig maker or want to get into it.
^Was gonna be a sig for my GOMHL recreate, went with a different name though.
Couple of below average sigs.
Another sig where I tried to copy/take a lot of inspiration from another sig I saw on the VHL. I would show that sig but it's not saved on my computer (I thought it was) and I cannot be bother to go dig for it.
I also added a layer mask and some american flag to get that red shiny text in that piece. Did that for the first time in that one.
Another sig for a GOMHL recreate, like before I did not choose that name.
I was super proud of the text when I did this piece but looking back lol, it's not that good.
18th sig. Again, I tried doing what @InciteHysteria was doing with his sigs with the lines stock being everywhere but the face. Obviously, it will never turn out as good as the original. Text is terrible but I tried lol.
19th sig for my boy @CptSquall. Terrible jersey swap imo. I don't know what I was trying to do with that background lol.
I submitted this sig in the same week along with the past 3. I'm pretty sure this was one of my first sigs but I never submitted it so i submitted like 2 months later for cash.
Sig for r1c- @gerarob
Same style sig for @Plasman again.
Even after making these two. I still like these, even though there's not much effort. It's simple and clean.
I was trying to go for the same style and simpleness with this sig like I did with the last 2. All I can say is...
Y I K E S
I remember it being so bad I didn't bother tagging him cause I was so embarrassed of how bad it was.
A draftee sig for @JRed94
another for @luketd
A 3rd one @NamelessNate
And a 4th sig for by @notorioustig
My sig style did a complete 180 with these sigs. I started using a lot more stocks and lighting-s. I remember when I was choosing the user's for these sigs, I wanted to pick the most active out of the crop so they could get some use cause I was so happy with them.
Only one to use theirs was Tig before Finn gave him a sig with his actual render.
That's what I get for not asking for their renders lol
I then made these and these were not good one bit lmao. I didn't put as much time with these draftee sigs so that plays a reason.
Then I made this sig for @Mordaciious
I was very very very happy with this piece when I made it. I tried going for a @dankoa style sig with focusing on just the render and text.
And we got my boy Paligma's sig. Please don't go inactive bb @BaseScoutX1
A sig for the great @Snussu
Tried copying this sig by @dankoa with that Boija sig.
Made Justice a sig cause he sig-less.
Wish I never sent it to him lol.
Y I K E S.
This is when I started using topaz labs to enhance the quality of my renders
Still thankful that you told me about topaz @karey I use to ehance nearly every sig I make
A sig for @ztevans 's recreate. Got a lot love from this sig. I wish the face of the render wasn't fucked
A sig I made for a dude who went inactive 2 days later, RIP.
A sig for my boy @Fantobens
I got a 10 on this, I don't know why I got a 10. I hate this sig lol. Gotta make you a new one Fantobens.
I still really really really like this sig 6 weeks later. Crisp render quality. Clean text and basic.
Another sig I'm not happy with that I made for @Pris
I'll make you a new one day Pris.
Another sig for a dude that went inactive 2 days later.
My sigs really be chasing people to inactivity.
A karey collab. I remember giving telling my frustrations in the Stampede discord about not knowing what to do with the text and karey pulled through and did the beautiful text.
This sig was actually supposed to be a collab but Karey never reached back with his updated work
Anyways, I did the entire thing and it's ok. I don't hate it but I do not love it.
A sig for an off site friend who is inactive, rip. I really like the colouring on this piece.
Really like the yellow stock work with this sig even though it looks piss stained lol.
A sig for a Falcon who went inactive because of the affiliation thread
bb come back @TMI
Sig for a dude that was in the Kelowna Knights discord. I did too much colour dodge in this one.
Finally, a good Detroit sig for @Justice
I'm pretty happy with this piece.
However...
We traded him 2 days after making this sig, fuck.
Another sig for @Thunder39
and a team canada sig for @goilers
A sig with Tig's actual render. (one on the left)
I tried pulling off the sig on the right with my left one. I think I did a decent job, but def not as good.
A sig for @ligma 's new player.
Buffalo sig for my boy @grok
This is when I learned how to do that 3D colouring effect. The same effect karey uses for his Edmonton team sigs.
A Lagerfield one par moi.
woopity scoop
VHL sig.
I tried going for the same style @Wasty used for an old sig.
And @ligma said it reminded him of dankoa's style.
lol
Sig for my favourite non falcon from the latest draft class @Good_Ole_Kimmy
3D colouring effect came out in here too
And my last sig I made for none other than @caltroit_red_flames
Yes the co head of the team I ridiculed and got into arguments in the past lol.
Overall, I'm happy with my progress as a sig maker. I can't wait to see where my style will be when I retire Lagerfield if I'm still making sigs then.
It also turns out my first sig is deleted off the internet. That's a good thing for you guys cause that sig was horrendous and you do not want to see it. It was for @ml002 so he can vouch for me.
