Sig / Avatar request thread [Read first post before requesting]

Recommended Posts

I’ve noticed that these threads seem to appear from time to time, so we could probably do with a dedicated thread, and here it is!

 

Please make sure you are specific when making requests, don't just say "I want a new sig" :heh:

Try to provide as much information as possible i.e.:

 

Overall concept for the sig / avatar

Links to any artwork / fonts you want used

Any text that is to be included

Required size of sig *Note maximum size is 500 x 150. For avatars it's 125 x 125. The combined file size cannot exceed 50kb, for more info on this please go here.

 

The more information you provide, the better your sig / avatar will probably turn out.

 

Anyone is welcome to create sigs based on people’s requests, just keep the rules in mind when doing so.

Cheers.

 

: peace:

 

 

Update by Shorty 13 Apr 2007

 

As someone who's fulfilled requests in the past, I would appreciate it if people take into consideration the things in this first post. If possible, be as specific as possible. Here is an example of a perfect request:

 

Sig Text: Shorty

Theme: Eureka Seven (anime) details: Wiki

Extra Text: Eureka 7

Size: 370x125px

Shape: Regular rectangle

Colour scheme: White/Blue

Fonts: Futura Hv (Bold/Heavy), Georgia, /or artists choice

Images to use: 1 2 3

Style: Clean, minimalistic

 

You don't have to fill out all of these, obviously - but I cannot stress enough that the more details you give, the faster you're likely to get something you want, and the more appropriate it will be. Anyone can search google for good images, you can at least start there. Remember that not everyone here will like "Bleach" or "Gears of War" so they might not know what a good picture will be, so provide links.

 

Thanks :)

 

 


60%[/hr]How to put a sig in place

 

There are two methods to putting a sig in, the first is to go to User CP > Edit Signature and scroll down to upload a sig. However this limits your signature options.

 

The easiest and infinitely more popular method is to host the image elsewhere (if someone has made you a sig, they've probably hosted it somewhere - but ask if it's ok to leave it there, in case it's temporary). If you need to host it yourself, somewhere like http://www.imageshack.us will be fine.

 

Either way you need the URL of the image. To find that, right click on the image once it's uploaded and find the option like "Copy Image Location". If you're using IE you might need to click on "Properties" then highlight and copy the "Address (URL)".

 

Now go to the space for editing your signature mentioned above. You need to use special BBcode on forums (your html won't help you here) - the tags are as follows:

 

[img ]http://www.urlofimage.com/image.jpg[/img]

However you need to remove the spaces in the first "img" tag. Remember to include the forward slash in the closing tag.

 

If you want to centre your signature, you use "center" (spelt the American way) tags either side of your signature code:

 

[center ] [img ]http://www.urlofimage.com/image.jpg[/img] [/center]

(again without spaces, of course)

Hmm, can I request a Zelda sig and AV please (just been reminded by Triforce Keeper's thread :p)? For the AV, can I have the Majora's Mask with the background cut out, like my current one is. And for the sig, some blended Twilight Princess images like Dante's (I think) with the words "The Legend Returns" in gold letters on the bottom right corner. Too picky? Sorry.
