- "Artist" Name: prince1999

- Favorite Color: lets go with ... ummm.... purple maybe? ^^
- Games you play: Shaiya, TheSims, Spyro, Populous (just to name the highlights lol)
- Active Forums: "active" would be Aeria Games and Artifex
- How did you become interested in making signatures?
I was probably (idr) poking around one day on some forum and realized people were able to make their own signatures.
- Why do you like to make Signatures?
Signatures are like little, mini art puzzle projects to me.
- What programs(s) do you use?
Photoshop and ImageReady. (old versions)
- Why do you like it?
Been using them for years, I find them comfortable to use.
- How long have you been making signatures?
over 6 years
- What are five suggestions you would give to any signature artist?#1 Play.
#2 Be inspired by other people, but always try to be yourself.
#3 Don't take the work too seriously. These are just siggys lol
#4 Save Backups!
#5 If you ever find that making signatures isn't feeling fun anymore, stop doing it for a while. You will feel better shortly, and in the time away you will remember the things you miss about not doing it. It's one of the best ways to re-find your love of siggy making^^
- How about five suggestions for a new artist?#1 Play.
#2 Be inspired by other people, but always try to be yourself.
#3 Be kind to yourself. Not everything you do will be a masterpiece, and that's okay.
#4 Don't try to force creativity/inspiration; It doesn't work.
#5 Have a goal for your project, but allow the project to change when it needs or wants to.^^
- Do you offer tutorials or give lessons?
I have produced tutorials in the past, but I tend to be too longwinded >.< Outside of actual tutorials, I'm usually happy to *try* to explain or describe how to do something. My methods may not always be mainstream, but they usually do the trick.^^
•3. Design your own StudioIt's a little simple for now, but I expect it will change over time... I love the idea of these studio images!
•4. Submit a minimum of 3 Pieces of your own recent ArtworkNot the most recent, but one I remain pleased with :
Poster Version:
Newly made for Mathy's Valentine SOTM on Aeria. Old photography and image manipulation, but new to being a sig. (Not extremely pleased with it >.> at all >.< lol) :
Made for Phar's Wonderland challenge. Turned out really muddy due to reducing lol! But I'm still happy with it. Made a version for [GM]Leo too if he wanted it. Also thought I could make one for myself using a tiger, but I was tired & my version looks like dog poop. LOL! (Never got back to it) :
