Welcome to:

http://xs222.******/xs222/07501/PaperClip-Art-Shop.gif

Credit to Jackalope for the banner!

Please this entire post, from top to bottom.

For those of you who don’t know me, I’m PaperClip. Jackalope is the user that taught me everything about Photoshop that I know, therefore a lot of the sigs, and avatars that I make will look pretty close to the ones that she’s made/making. With that in mind, let’s get started.

THE RULES

1.Don’t rush me.

2.If it has been a while since you requested your sig/avatar, (2 weeks or more, please), kindly send me a PM. It could have been that I forgot it, or that there was something wrong with your order.

3.If you’re going to fix your order, or add something to it, REPOST THE WHOLE THING.

Here are some examples of the sigs and avatars that I’ve made in the past, for me :P

http://xs222.******/xs222/07501/PaperClip---Christmas.png http://xs222.******/xs222/07501/PaperClip.gif (http://******) http://xs222.******/xs222/07501/PaperClip-Graphic-Artist.gif http://xs222.******/xs222/07501/PaperClip-Puzzle.gif (http://******) http://xs222.******/xs222/07501/PaperClip-Puzzle-Avatars.gif (http://******/)http://xs222.******/xs222/07501/PaperClip-Avatar-3.gif (http://******)

As you can see, I’m sure, I prefer doing signatures. :P

Anyway…Let’s talk about your choices.

Fonts – I have way too many fonts to list, so if you want a font, PLEASE PROVIDE THE LINK AND THE NAME OF THE FONT. You can find a lot of good fonts on www.dafont.com (http://www.dafont.com/).

Backgrounds – I can do a wide variety of backgrounds. Anything from a texture, to some other sort of a design. Pictures as well. Grunge brushes (really good textured brushes) work really well for backgrounds. In fact, about 99% of my signatures have some form of grunge artwork in them, believe it or not. Here are just a few of the examples of grunge artwork. From left to right, we have: Abstract, Soft (My most commonly used), and Stars. http://xs222.******/xs222/07502/Grunge.png (http://******) I’ve got tons more than that, but those three at the ones that I use the most, so I decided to put them up. As long as you know the “feel/theme” of the sig/avatar, I can probably give you a good texture-d background, using grunge brushes.

Pictures – If you want a picture incorporated with the signature/avatar PROVIDE IT! If you can’t find a good one, I’ll do my best to find one.

Animations - As you can see from most of my artwork, I do know how to animate :P. I can do pixel animations (refer to my 3rd signature, up near the top of the post), an animation with a picture, such as making a ball bounce, a blur-ing animation, or just about anything else. Please, provide to me which kind of one you would like. For example: Pixel, left to right, Spectrum Blue – Gold. That would tell me to make a pixel animation, starting at the left, going to the right, with a color spectrum of blues to golds.

The Order Form

Please, copy and paste this in your posts, or you might not get what you want, or might not get anything.

Ok, I didn't follow your order completely, but still. I think it turned out pretty good. I added a "Boomerang" effect on the rotating text. If you don't like it, tell me.

Could I revise my order a bit? After the text does it's animation, could you put a small animation text bubble to pop up out of the cat saying "Meow!"


Thanks,

Like, I can make it say "Just Posted" with an animation on it. Several of the signatures that I've used in the past have that on it.

Hello, I was wondering if you could recreate this picture below so that it looks like it's being drawn as people look at it. What I mean, is if I look at it, the line is drawing the stitch. Post if there is any problems.

Yea, slight problem. To do that, I would have to break that whole thing down into about 20,000,000 layers, which would take months, probably years, for me, and then animation. About 20,000,000 frames. Another several months, or years.

This would be another thing where I would need every frame given to me. Because of my lack of being able to draw.

Sorry if I sound grumpy or anything like that, I'm not. This is just one of those things that is way over my head.

Sorry!

Invaderzim - I didn't read that you wanted an avatar, at first. AND, I made more of a winter-ish background. Eh...the avatar has a whiter tone. You're lucky. You get both :P And, I couldn't do a pixel animation on the text because it's not an easy font to do that with.

Well...I can't really make your avatar because your picture wasn't attached.

And, to make it your avatar, you must save the avatar to your computer, then go to the User CP. Then to Change Avatar. And upload the avatar that you've saved on your computer.

Sorry to bother you, but since the Pirates of the Caribbean Online part of the wiki is a lot better along, could you make me a sig about DOW in general?

Using the DOW logo?

Saying "Visit The DOW for info. about VMK, POTCO, and MORE!" and having it scrolling from right to left.

I DON'T want my name in it.

I would like the background to blend well with the logo, not sure what it should be though.

NO RUSH :)

If you have time, could you make me an avatar for here, on DOW?

Having it scroll saying "Visit Disneyonlineworlds.com!" then have it pop up saying "DOW", then go back to the scrolling, etc.?

With any back ground that looks good?

NO RUSH, the sig I would like before the avatar :).

Credit will be given for them on my signature, and userpage, on piratesonline.com.

Thanks!

I am so sorry, everyone, but I really feel like I need to close this thread. I haven't been able to do much on Photoshop lately, since I've been having computer problems. I will do your orders...when I can. Then, after that, I'm most likely not going to take any more. Sorry for those who wanted to order, but just haven't :(.

To those who requested a sig/avatar and haven't gotten it yet: I'll PM it to you.

Thread closed.
