Claude's Graphics, I hope you like them. Options

[Claude]

Hello everyone. I guess I should make a place to display my graphics. I'll post some of them from old to new for you to look at.

Also, I will take requests if you want them but it might take a little while because I have school and exams and all that.

I have done graphics for about four years so many of these sigs are about 2-3 years old. The newest ones are about a year old, and the last sig and most of the avatars are about 6 months old probably. I am just starting up again so hopefully I'm not way out of practice.

I started off with Gimp and then used PS CS2 but now I have to use PS Elements 6 and Gimpshop.

These are numbered for commenting purposes:

Pretty old:

1. First sig with PS (yeah but I used Gimp before so I had some experience :P)

Drawn with the pen tool. I found a tut on how to do it. It's a really cool tutorial.

Newer (since I've had PS Elements):

Yeah, those aren't all my sigs, but I think they're the ones worth showing.

Also I have some avatars, which I've made more recently than the signatures. I haven't been doing much lately, so a lot of things are from awhile ago:

(IMG:http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j216/greenkiwifruit24/Newsigs/sae.png) (IMG:http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j216/greenkiwifruit24/Newsigs/rika.png) (IMG:http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j216/greenkiwifruit24/Newsigs/rikahanyu.png) (IMG:http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j216/greenkiwifruit24/Newsigs/rena2.png) (IMG:http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j216/greenkiwifruit24/Newsigs/mai.png) (IMG:http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j216/greenkiwifruit24/Newsigs/disgaea.png)

(IMG:http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j216/greenkiwifruit24/Newsigs/hanyuu.png) (IMG:http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j216/greenkiwifruit24/kyrie.png) (IMG:http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j216/greenkiwifruit24/evaa.png) (IMG:http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j216/greenkiwifruit24/Newsigs/remilia.png) (IMG:http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j216/greenkiwifruit24/Newsigs/suwako.png)

I like the avatars better than the signatures but if people make requests and if I make more sigs I can try and improve!

So please comment~ Criticism is welcome but some of these things are quite old so I don't know if it will help much but the last sig and the avatars are fair game if you want to tell me how I can improve.

If you would like me to make you anything tell me by using this format:

Name:
Type of Graphic: Avatar, Sig, or set of both (or some other kind of banner or something - please specify)
Style or colors you want (if any):
Picture you want in it: (if you have one, which I would prefer if you did)
Any Text you want:
Anything else: (specify anything else you want if it's not included in another category)

Also if you make a request or would like to use any of my graphics please give me credit. For example just put "Signature made by Claude~ Thanks a lot!" or something in your signature.

Thanks.

The Beatrice one is probably the most awesome there.

Mind if I request one tomorrow or something?

[Claude]

^Ha, thanks, probably because it's the newest. I'm glad to know that PS Elements can make pretty good stuff though.

You can make a request whenever but I can't do it till tomorrow probably.

[Guitar Smasher]

Like anime much?

extra characters

[Charmy]

May I have the honour of being your first customer?

Type of Graphic: Avatar and Signature.
Style or colors you want: Black, and reds.
Render or stock: Picture, right?
Any Text you want: Rozen Maiden
Anything else: Do as you please.

Your graphics are really good. ^-^

[Jitterbug]

Oooooh! Please make me something! I LOVE your graphics! Maybe something with TMoHS characters! Any color and do whatever you want because you are AMAZING!!!!

[Claude]

Thanks everyone!

Charmy I will get to your request tomorrow. I get out of school early from exams so I will have some time (although I still have to study for the next ones! ><)

Jitterbug thanks so much for the compliments and enthusiasm but if you could provide a picture it would be easier. Although if it's too much trouble I will come up with something but I don't know if it will be anything you'll like.

Also I will clarify on the render/stock thing. Maybe I'll just put picture since not everyone will understand that terminology.

Hi Claude. :D

I assume everyone knows what a render/stock is, but it's just about impossible to find one of the pose/character you want. Thusly, just about everyone here requests with regular jpeg or png images. Yes, it's really annoying. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) Not a bad thing though, sometimes the images are more interesting. But yeah. Rarely will someone request with an actual render here. :3

I'd be willing to render images for you though, if I have the time and patience. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

Alright I have not finished any requests yet but I tried out PSElements for the first time in a few months and I think the sig I made came out pretty well:

Any comments? Also I will get to the requests but I have English homework to do.

[Horcrux]

Hm. Everything is kinda hard to see & the black border takes quite a bit of the attention .
But , I love the lights.

Hm, I was thinking about that maybe I should change the border?

EDIT: Fixed?

[Horcrux]

Yeah . I think that looks a lot better. <3
