Designs Galore!

Galore doesn't mean they are good btw . Ok so here are a bunch of designs I have made recently. And of course there are commentaries .

Ok this is my first "request" since I got gimp. When I quote/unquote request I mean I made it voluntarily. It's a stock and not as good as I hoped but the person I gave it to is happy with it.

dblock header

This sig was put together really quickly and is pretty sloppy. It was for a design competition that coulda ended any minute, and then I missed the deadline...sux for me .

guitar sig

This sig turned out very well for almosting ending in disaster. I couldn't figure out how to scale the render down (just figured it out today) and then the text wasn't going well for me. In the end the text turned out ok, even though it coulda been better.

samurai sig

This one did NOT turn out the way I wanted it to and imo sux . It is my first anime-ish sig (it's of a game character but an anime render) and I may not do too many of them again. I didn't use a c4d on it (like a few others here) and it was before I learned how to scale down images. Just not that great.

leon sig

These next two are actually 2 sigs made into 2 different sigs. One was a FF Yufi sig that was well done but missing some things and the other wasa Killzone that was more of a c4d than a sig. I fused them in 2 dif ways and formed 2 dif sigs and judge them for yourself. The first is an abstract sig and the second is an FF sig.

idk sig

yufi sig

Most of these (with the exception of 2) are premades for designing unions. Most will be used in battles in the Designer's Central Union or the Graphics Studio for teams but a few I will probably enter in SotW's depending on the themes. I don't like using premades but if I get too much homework during the school days then I won't be able to design so I have these as backups incase I don't have time.

Comments are appreciated and returned (unless I get grounded again ).

Also in case you were wondering the official name for the union I am making is The Electronic Playground [Union] (debating whether to included union in the name). I am gonna wait about a month for summer school to end and for some of my final officers/charters to be ready. Hope things turn out well.

That's it for the ranting .

Union Name Vote

Ok so I'm getting ready to make everything for the union (or request it). But I need to come up with an official union name. Anyone can vote on it or add another name but I need to figure it out. Here are the 2 names i have so far:

The Gaming, Movies, and Music Union - Simple yet sophisticated (Abbrev. = TGMMU)

The Electronic Playground [Union] - Debating whether to put union in the name. catchy and has a wide option for what to talk about. (Abbrev. = TEP/TEPU/EPU)

If you could please comment on which you like the best or suggest a better name please say so.

Thanks!

Crapload of Designs

Well I am not ungrounded til tomorrow but my mom went to bingo and she's gone for about 4 hours. I got some time to make some cool sigs and a new header. Not in that time, only 2 were made today (one today and another incomplete one finished). Well here they all are. Only one I think out of the sigs isn't being used in a design contest of some sort already . I'll be making more next week. Comments are appreciated

This weekend I'm gonna try and get some of the details for the union so I can start making/requesting stuff. Also I am gonna try to redo my whole profile (started by making new banner and header). I'll actually get a REAL picture of me on my profile (current one is of my brother) and you can all marvel at my coolness....and my new haircut . I'll try to find a way to get a photo of me with my long hair so you can see the change. I got my hair cut a while ago so I look a bit better now . Ciao!

This one is a stock believe it or not. I ended up losing all the bg .

concert sig

My second sprite sig. Better but I don't like making sprites cuz i usually just end up putting a sprite on a layer of a c4d then puting another c4d on top. Turns out good but too easy imo.

japfury sprite sig

Got bored so made this for a sotw. Not great but it was just a bit of an experiment. Didn't turn out as great as I hoped cuz the render was too big for the c4d .

dark metroid sig

My new header (won't be up til tomorrow). Took me a while (2-3 c4d's + stock) and still didn't get it right .

rocknroll header

System of a down sig. Never listened to them but found the render on planetrenders.

systemofadown sig

And finally, this sig is an old one of mine but i never got the chance to post it. It was my first sig that was turned (long down up). You'll know what I am trying to say when you see it .

rcker sig

Well I hope you all liked my designs. Comment are always appreciated and grateful for so please comment . I'll be back on tomorrow after school so see you on the other side on another day . Btw I am hoping to continue my story (The Brotherhood) Saturday so keep in touch .

Summer School and New Designs (Banner + Sig)

Ok first summer school is going great for me. I have this teacher who is a retired army officer and is very nice. Btw I take summer school for an extra class and not b/c I am failing . Sorry to say this but I may get very political at times (not randomly just in blogs and stuff) because the class I am taking is Government and Economics H. I was thinking of posting a blog on the 'Two Cows Explaination on Political Science' soon cuz it is pretty funny.

Anyways I got a chance to design today. Both the banner (yes I found out how to make good banners now ) and the sig (which is not that great imo; made it from a almost black and white stock) are of My Chemical Romance (a band I like). Anyways the banner is where it always is and the sig is below, comments are appreciated .

Last thing; my grounding ends on Friday so see you then .

mcr sig

About Me

Hey guys my name is Chris. I am an average 15 year old American-Italian-British-Irish-Danish guy who likes to play sports and of course, video games. I live in the United States and am currently in my sophomore year in High School. I play sports such as soccer, basketball and cross country and as for video games I play a lot of adventure/rpg's. I play a lot of other genres too but those are the ones that are most common that I play in each system. I own a Xbox 360 and a PS2 for my latest consoles. I also own a Gamecube but its broken and a DS that I don't play much of anymore. I am currently a designer using GIMP and have excelled a little bit from the beginner, at least I think so. I don't take requests, sorry, its nothing personal....until you start complaining about what I make. Plus I can only design on the weekdays when I have freetime which isn't a lot. Anyways I am into music a bit. Recently I have been listening to Nickelback, My Chemical Romance, Linkin Park, and of course: Weird Al Yankovich. I usually listen to rock but I like any song that sounds cool. A lot of my designs have musical artists in them. That's about it for my about me. If you want to know more (and why shouldn't you, lol) I'm only a pm away.
