Syrius Cline's Signature Workshop (version 1.0)

[Syrius Cline]

I have decided to start making signatures for others, but there is a catch...

You have to convince me that you intend to RP for some time. No one week wonders may apply. I love my fellow RPers like a family. But if you're just here to mess around, you might as well be that step brother that always sits in the corner and talks in tounge to himself. I have limited space on my image server account and I don't plan on using it up for every Tom and Harry(knew I couldn't say the other name without being CENSORED). Once I make the signature and upload it I will erase all the files on my computer pertaining to that image. If shortly after you leave and stay gone for a month's time, I'll delete the uploaded file. If you need alterations in the future, tell me now that you might need them. Don't come whining back later, I won't oblige you unless you tell me in advance.

Provide the pictures, if you intend them to be used:
Character(such as James Marsters)
Background(Such as the Corusant background I use)
and

[Syrius Cline]

EZBoard really chaps my behind. It cut off the post, here's the rest of the post from where I left off.

...any other images you want entered into your sig.

I also need the information you want on the signature, and the layout and colors you'd prefer. I retain my right to make the signature look how I think it shall look best. You have to respect my ability to make it look good together, don't question it and tell me to change it, it's insulting. If an image does not fit or look right, I can decline it. You then may provide another picture that will look right. Personally I'd go for bulk. It took about 20 pictures of James Marsters until I found two that'd look good on a signature I wanted.

Provide all links you'd like, and what you'd like the link to read.

Do not provide to much text that it won't all fit, be reasonable and streamlined.

I apoligise if I come off as too stern, but I have been taken advantage of in the past. When I make something I put my heart and soul into it. I spent $99 bucks for PSP, and I don't run a business, it's for pleasure. I enjoy this and consider it an artform.

Thank you. And if you have a server, once I upload the picture please save it and upload it to your server, then notify me. It'd save space on my account. Thanks.

[Syrius Cline]

I might of came off wrong there. I love makiing signatures and I love it when people enjoy them. It's just that I work hard on them.

The current signatures I have made are:

syriuscline.batcave.net/s...nature.jpg (http://syriuscline.batcave.net/syriusclinesignature.jpg)
syriuscline.batcave.net/jenrephrise.jpg (http://syriuscline.batcave.net/jenrephrise.jpg)

I have made somewhere between 10-20 signatures for fellow RPers in the past, but I cannot link to them without giving my alternate characters away.

[Captain Tohmahawk]

Hmmmm, okay. I might become your first customer when I get the pics together

[tracesha]

I get 404 errors when trying to preview the links. =/

[Morgan Evanar]

I'm getting 404s too.

[Syrius Cline]

I'm an idiot. Go ahead and stone me to death.

Both of the Jenre Phrise sigs are the same exact brightness and contrast. Tell me if the links work.

[Vega Van Derveld]

Nice sigs.

I can't see them...

Stuff to put in sig:

Captain of "The Hope"

[Syrius Cline]

Vin Diesel(is that the correct spelling?) good choice. I thought he was terrific in Pitch Black.

I'll try and have it done and uploaded by tomorrow.

Are my pictures showing? I'm using Batcave.net, is there a better image hosting service out there? I know about clan pages. Their service agreement said no "remote linking", isn't that what <img src=blahblah> is?

[Lochabre Stonewing]

Syruis....

For not wanting to give myself away, I have been here a long time, maybe longer than you have and a committed memeber of the roleplaying community. I wish to have soemthign done with my picture i use, and the quote, which is not much. Would you just be able to "pot luck" the sig file as you will?

[Syrius Cline]

First off, here you go Guey:

<img src=http://syriuscline.batcave.net/guesig.jpg>

Secondly, you have me terribly intruiged Lochabre. I offer you a deal, you e-mail me your other character, I'll tell you mine in a reply. Just to satisfy my curiosity.

I'm not entirely sure what you want. Just the stuff you said ontop of the picture? I can't make it look fantastic or anything, it'll look pretty plain if that's all you want. Are you sure?

[Syrius Cline]

<img src=http://syriuscline.batcave.net/lochabresig.jpg>

It took me five minutes. If you need alterations, just say so. It was easy enough that I can go to extra lengths. I wasn't sure what you wanted, so I went with instincts. Hope you like it. Criticism, good or bad is always welcome.

[Leeloo Mina]

I'm an idiot. Go ahead and stone me to death

<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/image/emoticons_classic/smile.gif ALT=":)"> Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

I love the sigs.. but you already know that ^_^

Jaw drops at Gue's sig

No!!! He is not worthy!!!! I like it, ALOT.

[Vega Van Derveld]

I think I've already worked out who our new sig maker formerly was <img src=http://www.thegjo.com/forum/smileys/evil.gif ALT=":evil">

[Lord Gue]

Thankies! So much better than I expected, BTW, I never made you an admin at any of my boards did I?

[Syrius Cline]

Gue: Glad you liked it pal. I'm not exactly sure what you mean. E-Mail me and we'll discuss it. If I say yes or no outloud it can give people hints to who I am.

Vega: Oh, come on now. Blurt it out! No, don't do that... e-mail me and we'll talk. I'm betting you don't know squat. :lol

The signature for Gue took just about an hour to complete. Of course I had no clue what to do until I started fiddling, so that factors in. All in all, I'm happy you enjoy it.

I'm going to start uploading files to a clanpages account. I may or may not delete some of the files off batcave that are duplicates on clapages. Gue, if I do delete the batcave file, or even if I don't, the new file will be at http://syriuscline.clanpages.com, same file name other than that. I believe their more reliable in showing images so you might want to use that URL. I'll give confirmation on the site address and everything once I'm positive. It takes and hour for Clanpages to process my account.

[Syrius Cline]

Okay, done and done. Just change:

http://syriuscline.batcave.net

to

http://syriuscline.clanpages.com

all the file names are the same. I'd use the clanpages URL if I were you, Lochabre and Gue. I believe it's toted as more reliable.

[Vega Van Derveld]

If I'm not mistaken, I do know 'squat' <img src=http://www.thegjo.com/forum/smileys/magtongue.gif ALT=":p"> or at least my friend Ruben does <img src=http://www.thegjo.com/forum/smileys/evil.gif ALT=":evil">

[Syrius Cline]

A few new additions to my portfolio:

and

As always, comments are appreciated, good or bad. And I'd love to make new signatures for those in need.

[Kinzoku Tsuchi]

The pic I have currently and this as the background.

geocities.com/midcatwmn/i...negate.jpg (http://geocities.com/midcatwmn/images/shrinegate.jpg)

And pretty much the same info and quote to please...

And I've been here for over a year and I'm finally sticking to a few characters!

[Darth Turbogeek]

Hi Syruis,

I hope I have been committed enough for you to want to make a sig :)


Take my current pic and do what you want, any quote you think is worthy of the Evil DT.

[Syrius Cline]

First off, I have a whole problem with uploading pics right now. I use Juno and a trial AOL. Juno is... well, mean. And the AOL trial doesn't let you use cookies to the full extent, nor HTML 4.0 and Java. So you'll have to get lucky, as will I, and hope that Juno lets me log on once I get ready to upload.

Kinzoku Tsuchi, Do you have a link to the picture you use now? Unaltered? It'd be easier for me if I had the original picture. Do to size(if it was bigger orginally) and just a lot of little stuff. I can get by without, but I'd like it.

DT... I'm sorry. You haven't posted enough. Come back when you have a thousand more.... <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/image/emoticons_classic/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> j/k Which picture? The one of the LOTR guy? Or Neo? And if Neo, which picture of him? Any information other than the pic, name, and qoute? Possibly a background?... and let me get this striaght, you want me to find a qoute? I feel so loved.... <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/image/emoticons_classic/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> I'll try.

I'll hold up with making the stuff until I get this info from you two. The reason is because of what I said about my ISPs. I have to be able to know for certain that what I've made won't need to be altered and uploaded again soon.

[Morgan Evanar]

*cough DSL cough*

Sorry.

Earthlink may be a bit pricey for dialup access, but they are as good as it gets.

[Syrius Cline]

My family's extremely poor. This Christmas we got a break. MY dad's a carpenter and we got a large job, so we're set for Christmas. Last year and the year before myself and all my family went presentless. We don't have much money to spare on the internet.

Although, my dad, since he knows I love the internet, is considering letting us get Juno's payed service. It's only 10 bucks a month, but that's still in question. So, sorry. :(

Alright, I need that info on the sigs guys. I'm itching to begin work.

[Kinzoku Tsuchi]

Here's the un-tampered pic

shining.zophar.net/shf2/i...rs/may.jpg (http://shining.zophar.net/shf2/images/characters/may.jpg)

And you don't have to worry about hosting it, just e-mail me (at master_akirasan@yahoo.ca) the finished result and I'll host it myself.

[Syrius Cline]

Okay. Good deal. I'll e-mail you when it's done. Thanks for hosting it yourself. Expect an e-mail in one to two days with the file.

Sorry I've taken so long. I'm currently doig signatures for four people and I try to make them unique. So bare with me.

DT: I'll just go ahead and use the LOTR guy, I'm sure that's who you meant. I'll probably have to refer to my 30 year old brother for the qoute, he's a wealth of knowledge. Had a 7th grade reading level by age 7, no lie. So he might have some good qoutes that he's read. I'm guessing you want a cleaver evil qoute, not just a "I'm a bad mother--". So give me time.

[Syrius Cline]

DT, I'm having difficulty. I don't want to give a crappy, non-relevant qoute.

Could you explain your character a wee bit? What's his mind set, personality, etc. I have lots of qoutes but I'm not sure which one's appropriate.

[Darth Turbogeek]

Okay, I will.

DT is a clone of the real thing (refer Sick Cycle Carosel) He is mentally young, curious and has all the power of the original. He's learning his "birthright" and coming into his powers. He is an assasin or will be. He's starting don the path to be a Dark Jedi.

Other note - you want a real sig challenge after this?

[Syrius Cline]

Okay.... I think I can work with that.

Of course. Bring it on!

[Syrius Cline]

I have both of your sigs done. I'll try and upload them tonight. It'll be in a reply, not this post edited.

Darth Turbogeek: I couldn't do anything spectacular with your signature, since you only wanted the picture and text. So I tried to compensate by making the text better than usual. So I hope you're happy with it. I found a qoute I thought sounded good. It's from the Wallflowers's "I've been delivered", which is a great song. You might want to look into downloading it so you can get a feel for the song, and how the qoute sounds when Jacon Dylan(Bob Dylan's son) sings it.

Kinzoku Tsuchi: I can't send a file attachment for some reason, sorry. So I'll give the url here when it's uploaded.

Comments welcome. DT, something about your signature looks off. Do you have a problem with it? I think it'd look better sans pic. What do you think?

DT, go ahead and bring on that other project. I'm ready.

TTT

[Lady DeVille]

The wording on DTs pic is a bit hard to decipher. LOL after my previous comment in the other thread, you'll prolly think I'm blind as a bat. ;)

[Darth Turbogeek]

*scratches head*

Let me stare at it for a bit.

[Darth Turbogeek]

*scratches head*

Let me stare at it for a bit. It's a lot different than what I expected. It's not bad tho....

Hmmm....


Allright, suggestion I have, tho I need to supply a slightly different pic. The text is excellent and the quote is interestiong. Wait for the pic.

[Syrius Cline]

Actually LD, I'm doing it on perpose. I wanted the qoute to look like a sketch. Here's the qoute:

"I was first born to a parade. It follows in rows. Down a narrow cold black river. Faceless shadows. Moving slow."

What were you expecting DT?

I'll wait for the pic. Honestly, I think it'd look good with just the text. Maybe a good background would help.
