Zachary

When I'm done with these, I'll open shop for people to request again. Thanks.


--------------------------------

Now, my siggy shop is a bit different from most of the other sig shops, I should let y'all know, before we get started because:

Everything I do is hand-drawn and completely from scratch. I only use other images as references for my art, but not in the actual sig itself.

That is very important so, please, remember that.

Some of you might know I do a lot of ZUer member sketches over in the Art Forum. That's what I specialise in. I can do chibi and more realistic looking drawings. For example, chibi:



And more realistic. I call this lot, btw, my Mage Series that I made especially for me, my sis, Azzy, and fiance, Brandon/Ja-kun:



And two versions of a transparent/background realistic-looking sig:



However, I can also do stuff that may have nothing to do with portraying a ZU member:


RULES:

-If you want me to do a siggy of you and/or friends, you MUST give me a CLEAR reference to work from. If it isn't clear enough for me, I will ask you to give me another one.
-I put a lot of time into my art, so if I do this for you, you have to keep the sig I've created for 3 weeks or more.
-I can take a while to draw things depending on how long complex the request. Be patient, please (:
-Acknowledgement of the sig-maker, yo.
-If you have a sig made by another sig-maker that is less than three weeks old, I will NOT make your requested sig out of respect for the hard work of the other sig-maker.
-From Feb 1st 2009 I will not be making requests for members who have been part of ZU for less than three months. The reason for this is because I have put A LOT of effort into sigs for people who either don't use it, or don't even stick around long enough on the forums for it to be of any use even though they are using it. I put a lot of time into my signatures, so I feel it's only fair for it to be used/seen for the amount of time I've set.
-I rent-a-mod this shop like a mo'-fo', homies. Deal with it.

REQUEST FORMAT:

Follow this format when requesting:
Reference/photos.
Description/composition.
Font/Text.
Size.
Colours.

Please remember that everything I do is hand-drawn, so I won't take images and use them in your sig. I will only use them as a reference to draw from.

Phew, talk about cracking whips xD. So, if you'd like a sig of you as a chibi, or a group of ZUer friends you're fond of, or something of the like, I'll be more than happy to take you on (: I'm not the best at Photoshop, in fact, I only started on PS like a month or so ago xD However! I do have vast experience with drawing.

So, ya *twiddles thumbs*

Reference/photos. http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:...sai/itachi.png
Description/composition. Letz Dance, Darling. <3
Font/Text. A very darkish red, like some sort of very dark whine color.
Size. Biggest you can make
Colours. A bloody red, some black.. Alot of black, Try to make it look like he's a very bad man :O

Liah! Hooray! I have never requested in a sig shop before but now I think I have to.

Reference/photos: You know what I look like, right? (: It's on my profile, anyway.
Description/composition: Can you do something with me and a camera? Or just me, if it's easier. And like a chibi, pleeeease.
Font/Text: I love the writing in 'Ja-kun' and 'ZU people', can you do it like that? It can say Pani or Panique, whichever looks better or fits.
Size: Any.
Colours: Whatever look good. Creative freedom, woo!

iDiego - I need a bigger image than that to work from. Link one to me and I should be good to go. Your request sounds doable, so (: *waits*

Also! I've decided that with my Sig Shop, I'm going to post the process/concept sketches of my arts so my requestees can see what's going on.

Pani, I've started on a rough draft, but it's well on its way:



Ya. This Sig Shop is kinda an arty thread for me, too, so might as well treat it as such.

<3

So, it's okay if we give you an anime character as a picture reference? SWEET.

Reference/photos: o1 (I'd like this character to be in the orange clothing) / o2 (I'd like this one in the clothing he's wearing)
Description/composition: If you can, I'd like the two to look like young children sitting back to back. I'd like their arms to be linked (or entwined) together too. Both are happy and smiling while looking out to the 'person' looking at them.
Font/Text: lelouch and suzaku ~eternal friends~ (I'd like this in an elegant cursive, if possible and uncapitalized as well)
Size: A size that can fit into the signatures here. If you can, I'd like one 400x200 too. If you can't, just the first option
Colours: Mostly white/orange and black since those are the main colors of the characters.


Thanks so much if you can do this! I know it's going to be amazing.

Aww Liah, that's so cute. Can't wait til it's done.

*cuddles Pani* <3 Man, you totally surprised me, btw, when you requested here because you're one of my favourite sig-makers on the forums!

Progress reportz, yo.

So far, on Panix0r0z - I is colouring shoez. I think I'll be done with it in a day or so, but I'm having tonnes of fun with it in the meantime:



And for Shiori - howdy thar, dear (: Your siggy is no problem. You described it very well, so I'm sure I can pull it off. Anyway, here's the first rough draft. It's comin' along okies:

Oh, Liah, that's so cute! I'm absolutely in love; I can't wait to see the finished project.

I have a question - would you use someone elses artwork as a reference? I'm fine with either, I just want to know so I don't make myself look follishly foolish.

Oh and good work so far.

I'm glad you approve, Shiori <3 *is still doodling*

Linkey - I can use anything as a reference to draw from, but the final product will be my own art. Does that make sense, dear? And thank you for the compliment (:

I would love a picture of m-

OH WAIT!

^Yours is almost done xD but I'm being very picky about the pengus I drew =/ I can't seem to get the furz right. Forgive the wait, hun, I'm a bit of a perfectionist with my arts.

Penguins do not have fur, they have feathers!

And you call yourself a New Zealander! You're like, swimming in penguins and you don't even know them! Sheesh.

I know that! xD I meant the furry texture like the one in the photo you sent me on the wall! That's what I'm using as a reference. It's driving me nuts. Also - I'm Samoan before a New Zealander, so tropics before the greens!

Wouldn't you give anything just to cuddle with that?

Alright, I'll stop spamming your sig shop now, I might make Pani mad. Not that I'd mind, because I have a grudge with her.

^*huggles Fishie* I promise your pic will be up by the end of this week. I think I've figured out how I will do the pengus, so I'm getting thar <3.

Okay. So, I'm sick today <_> and have a day off work. However, on a brighter note, that lets me do some more arts.

Pani: I wasn't sure if you wanted a background or just the chibi, so I did two versions - one with a simple background, and a transparent one:



So, whaddaya think? If you want a different background (I did something simple because I wasn't what direction to go towards), it's all good if you say so. SEE HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU?

Liah is the best sigmaker in the universe!*

*Slight bias.

I think you're off to a great start, hun, and that your sig shop will be very successful. I love the way you did Pani's hair! Cool

^I love you xD **

**More than a slight bias.

tguahgsa so cute. ;______;

I think I'll use the transparent background one now, but I might switch to the background some time. Thank you Liahliah!

You're welcome, Pani! <333 I prefer the transparent one myself (: Ta muchlyfor requesting and feel free to drop by any time, there's always a room for a Pani.

Progess report for Shiori. Thank you kindly for your patience, dear. I've gotten through with the basic lineart (which is always the most time-consuming party for my arts). I still have to clean it up a bit, but here's the general outline:



Will have it coloured and ready to go in a day or so (: *keeps doodling*
