So I know half of SEN probably hates me for whatever reason, but I would like to offer my unlimited services regardless.

It's summer, and aside from free time and impractical applications there is a large chunk of time that I need to spend on something. I could only fap or F5 so much in a day and I need something to distract myself so I don't wear myself out; I decided that practice with photoshop would be nice to do, and seeing the recent devilesk signature fad I decided that something must be done.

MadZombie's Free Signature Shop:
Post a render/image (rendered preferred; A render is a pre 'cut' image kthx) that you would like to be the centerpiece of your signature, or give a large picture from which to crop your signature from. Specify text, color, border style, specific brushes to use, and other image modifications if you want. Srsly.

Examples:

Are you serious?

I'm serious. I just wanted to get straight to the point.

What font was used for the StarBlue sigs?

Honestly, I like Zomb's sigs better. Atleast the lighting techniques. But there's almost no difference between blending.

My sigs are the best.

Lol lighting techniques lol It's just white brushing xDDD

Yes sir.

@Aristocrat
And yours is overlay.

Aristocrat does interesting things with text, but I like MZs better nevertheless.

I do interesting everything.

I only use two different kinds of "lighting" techniques atm. A soft brush of any color set to Linear Dodge. It's for a lazy coloring teqnique that is a cheap way to make something ... i guess you could say... pop more? And then their is also God tier lighting created with the Dodge tool. Only noobs use a white brush for lighting. Dodge tool is your friend. (Alternatively using the Burn tool to make things darker and whatever you don't touch in a way becomes "lighten" depending on how you look at it. Can look even better if Dodge tool and Burn tool are combined.)

Anyways It's still a sig requesting thread so yea.

'BIRTH OF A HERO'

So bros if you don't mind can you ask for sigs? Even if you aren't going to use them, It's just nice if I could go into this thread and coming out with an objective. Like when you beat a game and want to get all the achievements. I just gotta do it man. Fish gotta swim.

You can make me a sig if you want. Something humorous and Russia-related. I won't use it, though; I only use my own stuff. But it can help inspire me to do something for myself.

I asked already, you just didn't look

See my current signature?

That has 113 layers, a substantial number of which are not overlay ;o. The sig devilesk made me is one of them ;o.

I dont see it

Lol is one of those a Mandelbrot set? +1

Look carefully; it's a very low opacity (2%) saturation layer.

I've always wondered what the appropriate use of the dodge tool is; I usually duplicate the layer, lighten/darken what I want, and then bind that one to a clipping mask and erase the unnecessary regions; when I want lazy lighting I just Ctrl-J a bunch of times and mess with the blur tool and linear dodge. Surprisingly, the "lighting" filter sucks ass . How are we supposed to use that?

If you want, make me a sig in your style using the Cirno image in the second sig in my thread; should show up fairly fast when you search "Cirno" in Google. I like your sig designs
