Is there anyone who would like a Shadowlords faction themed sig? I had begun working on one off a clever idea I had to use something very common to us all but never finished as, well, I don't anyone who plays Shadowlord characters...

Because Minax is the best!

*coughs* Not only is mine gorgeous, its good advertising. *grins*

Bored:


If you wanna be bored with me:


Original dimensions are 600x125, I really hate this new thumbnail crap. The OLD WAY WAS BETTER!

[Terrance]

Trying some variations of a new idea. Fans of past Ultimas may recognize what the second one is based on...

[Zynia]

I like the one you have now.....

[Terrance]

*grins* Thank you, so do I. I have no intention of replacing this one, but I enjoy making sigs..might save this new one for someone else I might encounter who wants a sig done with Ultima themes.

I've made a few others as well:

This one above was never finished, but was made for a friend using her guild colors and a dragon, which is what she was after. I didn't like the huge empty spaces and it never was finished, but oh the work put into making that dragon blue/black (was originally very orange and gold).


Made for a good friend and continues to be used over on Stratics. Colored the Order shield that way as he was one of the handful of people to recieve a special Order shield as a reward from an EM, and it's that same color.


Yes, I too have ripped off the cover of that novel...


Made for the Napa Valley news manager over on Stratics.


Venting my frustrations at our shard's EM...


Not very good. I'd like to make a sig again using that same image of Lord Bitish's crown, scepter and necklace though.

If this post is too big let me know, and I'll condense it all down into thumbnails instead.

Just made this one with paint, whatcha think guys?



Edit: This one too

[Terrance]

Heheh, I like the first one. The hooded figure reminds me of a Seer in a way...

ok how do i make one of these?

[Terrance]

Oh, sigs are easy to make! They can be simple yet still look very good. Take mine for instance. All I did was take the image used for the UO login screen (at the time, only the one the 3D users saw...I'm a 2D player and had to open up InsideUO to get at it), crop out the section I liked using PaintShopPro (the old, old Windows 3.1 version), and inserted text using the color I wanted and a shadowing effect. Sounds complicated..but it super easy.

Use Google Images search for finding good backgrounds, or in-game screen captures. Scan something you like out of a book or a magazine.

You don't even need special programs! Many good sigs have been made using Windows Paint.

You can also post in a thread such as this one asking for someone to make you a sig. Many UO forum users enjoy making sigs for others. Just include what you'd like to be in it in general..any text..anything special...
