While I am okay at making graphics... I could REALLY use improvement - but I'm not too worried about that now.

I want an avatar and a signature block:

Avatar:
Size: 120x120

Based off that image - a yin yang, I want it to look like a blood drop and tear drop.  (I want them to look liquid)
Please keep the proportions correct - I am picky that the sizes are accurate.
Transparent background around it, please.

Signature:
Based off the same design.
Size: 400-600 width, 100-200 height
Please put a 1px border around the edge as black or white, whichever fits the theme better.
I would like the same yin-yang for the avatar in the image, and a medium/medium-dark color scheme, preferably bright blue/cyan and black in it.

Bloody hard to do lol

Just spent about an hour and got nowhere, the trick is to try and match the contours of the shape for the highlights, I ended up trying to draw them on by hand which didn't really work at all.

A shame, as I fancied doing this, mostly because you are by nature a very helpful person but also because I love glossy type stuff lately.

What software are you using?

I like that, looks like you took the same thing I did and did it better Razz

Can you change the color to more of a brighter red, rather than the dull gray-ish red, and the blue to a little brighter? otherwise it's great.

You missed that one mate.  Reason I ask is that I can give you the psd file if you're using Photoshop...

Aye, I just used layer styles which it looks like you did.

I found this tutorial that may be of some help to you:

I'm just sticking with the one you made.

Is there anything you can think of for a signature though?

Something around 150-200x400-600?  Based with a similar theme of the avatar?  Or do I gotta ask in another thread?

Oh god, I came here to post that I made an update to the one I made, and I am in love with it, and saw that, which is awesome.

Would you mind making one for this avatar?  Embarassed



I can give you the psd for it, if you want.  And feel free to slap me.   Laughing

A signature for the other avatar I posted.

Although the sig you posted makes me want to use yours >_> But I'm in love with my avatar, so I'm torn.
