Hey guys!

Edit: Re-opening this after 6 years. You all have COVID to thank. Life schedule is pretty different now; I'll see what I can do if this ever blows up again (for the small period that it did aha). I need to re-learn all my tools so bear with me.

I used to do a lot of GFX during my HSC (almost an addiction lol); kinda stopped due studies and other addictions haha =P

I'm fairly experienced and I have my own DeviantArt page and I also participated in signature comps at various forums.

Here's a bunch of GFX works I've done over my past months of being active:












You can view my whole gallery at my DeviantArt page here - http://vertify.deviantart.com/gallery/
Includes all my first works and latest ones. I also have rendered a few pictures.

In terms of my resources, they have been collected gradually during when I was active. I could link to a few forums but I think rules state I'm not supposed to advertise other forums (or at least, that's the majority of forums from experience). I might upload my resources later on. Here's one tutorial I made however http://vertify.deviantart.com/art/Beginner-Smudge-Signature-Tutorial-Random-341119570

And of course! The requesting business... I'm always going to be a bit busy but, I'll be willing to do a few every now and then.

Just follow these steps to make life easier:

1. Avatar or Signature?
2. Image Link [Renders preferred (transparent background)]
3. Size
4. Style - Vector (The K-ON Signatures) // C4D (Black Rock Shooter) // BG (Clannad) ---- Only if requesting for a signature
5. Other little things you want in them (e.g. text, colour, border etc).

Here!

And to answer your question, GFX is basically just a slang for graphics. I think the "FX" bit derives from the word 'effects'.

If you mean 'using' them in your signature space, then yeah, sure.

EDIT: Did you want me to re-name the texts though?
JokerFate
ah yes, that's what I mean
thanks :3

Wow...That is one amazing render of Mio you have there in the OP.

I'm not sure how far I could take this, but could I request a graphic of any size with Mio holding a Wacom tablet?

Yes, my name is meant to be like Mio but different :3

@Jokerfate

Sorry for not replying! Been busy >.<
Do you still want the signatures?

@meyo

The render wasn't originally like that - I made it the way it is now =P
I'm not that far into image-manipulation lol. Do you want me to do anything else?
JokerFate
no prob, and yes please :3
Anju_old_1
It's okay thank you :) sorry for late reply, I am using one of your avatars as you can see...I hope that is okay!

Lol - I almost forgot.
I went against your suggestion of putting the text on the top right corner; doesn't seem right. Feel free to tell me if you want it that way however.

Sorry. I really need to update my post with clearer instructions (I can see so much more organisation in the latest threads it makes mine terrrrible ahahaha).

When I meant transparent, I was referring to the character of the image having no background, but it's all good- I did it (this is what I mean). Very rough but you shouldn't notice it when I blend it all in (hopefully lol).

4. Style - You got to choose one out of the three
- Vector (So example is my K-On signature with the guitar)
- C4D (the 2 below the K-ON signature are C4D style)
- BG (the Clannad or Asuna from SAO - basically plain background)
