Hyrule, where else would I be?
I have recently started using GIMP and I finally decided that I would post my work on ZD. Yeah, I know they are not perfect, but remember, I am still figuring out GIMP. So, here are some of my creations. Enjoy!

EDIT: I now take requests! Here is the request form below. Just copy and paste.


Signature, Avatar, or Userbar:
Character or Object: (What you want as the main picture)
Colors or Background: (If you want a specific color or background)
Text and Font (optional):
Additional details (optional): (Any special effects you want me to add)


My Signatures


CorgiSignature.png

One of the very first things I made in GIMP.​

SariaSageofForestSignature.png

I was just playing around with some effects. This signature is not meant to be taken seriously.​

PrincessZeldaSignature.png

I was following a tutorial and got bored quickly, so I finished it myself.​

SkywardSwordSignature.png

My first signature with c4ds. I don't think it turned out that well.​

TheWindWakerSignature.png

I followed another tutorial to make this one. I am very pleased with how the background turned out!​

FairySignature.png

I WAS following a tutorial, but again, I got bored toward the end, so I added a couple things and finished it by myself. Pretty happy with this one.​

LabradorRetrieverSignature.png

I like this one a lot! I used a tutorial for this one.​



So those are my GIMP creations! The last two are my newest ones. I am open to any constructive criticism you have to offer.

You're off to a great start! These are simple but clean and nice to look at. I like your Skyward Sword one; the background looks good with the render. I also like your current WW sig; it's very nice! :)

I'd suggest that you add borders around the sigs. Borders really give a finished look to the image and can create a nice focus. I also encourage you to use some more tutorials, even though they're not the most enjoyable things to follow. You don't need to follow them word-for-word (I certainly didn't), but they do provide a good understanding of how the various tools work and how to get different effects.

I have tried to add some borders to a couple of my signatures, but they don't always look right to me. I was going to add a border to the orange Wind Waker one, but there seemed to be a gap between the signature and the border. I think I will try using some borders on my next couple of signatures. Thanks for the help!

How can you people do GIMP that well? I got it, and I can't even type on it! Ahem, but, anyway, I love them! Especially the first one.
But, also, some of them are way too color - coordinated. The one with Saria and Zelda, for example. All green, and all pink. I still like them, it's just not in my personal taste. Like I said, just not in my taste, but you seem like you are highly skilled with GIMP. Great job, overall!

Yeah, those two were some of my first attempts in GIMP. I have been trying to expand my colors a bit in my more recent signatures. Thanks for the tip!

I finished a couple more signatures! Enjoy!


LinkandTatlSignature.png

This is just a simple little signature I made while trying out more effects on GIMP. Most effects didn't look that good with the render so it's kind of... bland. Oh well...​


WolfLinkSignature.png

I made this one with a tutorial. It turned out a lot darker than the tutorial signature did, so I added a couple more effects and made it lighter.​

Two more signatures are done!


MidnaSignature.png

I was testing out some colors in GIMP and made this. Not that great, I know. Just a test.​

PrincessZeldaTPSignature.png

I followed another tutorial to get this signature. I think it turned out to be a pretty good signature. One of my better ones!​


Okay, I talked myself into taking requests. I will post a request form in my first post.

Wow! I'm loving your style. If you don't mind, I'd like to request a creation, as they are wonderful!

Signature or Avatar: Both if you don't mind. :3
Character or Object: Link & Ganondorf
Colors and Background: Whatever looks good.
Text and Font: A Childish Mind Will Turn to Noble Ambition... (Visitor Font)
Additional Details: Can you make the corners rounded?

Hope this fits the bill. I look forward to seeing the result! And by all means does this not mean rush...take your time. Thank you! :D
