El3mentGamer Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) I've decided that alot of geocachers do not have avatars, or are really low-res avatars. Because of this I decided to offer a free service. I am a graphic designer. I've being creating graphics for about 5 years now and would love to make you an avatar.

+hzoi Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 My Work: Hmm. First one looks like your take on Borderlands, second one looks like your take on Mortal Kombat, third one is almost a direct copy of the cover art to Fallout: New Vegas. Were you a designer on these games? Quote

+TeamPennyFinder Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) hzoi, It looks like he does siggys for online gaming guilds/clans/etc... If everything was originally designed with nothing from the game itself it would be pointless because then it would be a lot harder to associate the player with the game. Also a lot of time the players request certain things that they want in their siggy. Even with items from the game it is a lot of hard work to put them out. It is an art in itself. Both siggys that I did below required a heck of a lot of work and have a heck of a lot of layers each with their own properties and values. This one just has the game logo in it to help identify and associate the player with the game. This one by itself took a few days for me to do with all the tweaking and layers. Granted I am not as fast as the young graphic designers. LOL! This one has a lot of aspects from the game. But that is how the person wanted it. Believe me it is not all just one scene but a blending of many scenes from the same game with other items in it that the person wanted in it. Even if it is not all original it still takes work to do one. Color co-ordination, blending, layers, visibility. Whew! The list goes on. Edited January 24, 2012 by TeamPennyFinder Quote

Fair enough. That's why I stick to photography, it limits my photoshop time to cropping, adjusting levels, and cloning out dust. Quote

Username: Snoogans Colors: Black & Red and a little white or whatever fits Items: I have had a Nitrofish on my public profile page for 9 years. I love Halo and pretty much all FPS games. Into MW3 at the moment. Gas masks are just kinda cool. Don't ask me why. Other: My main sig item is my actual log book signature pressed on a coin. I'd like that on there somewhere. The sig. Not so much the coin. I like the look of steampunk art as the gas mask above shows, but I'm a huge fan of H.R. Giger & Salvador Dali as well. This post might clue you in on how disturbing you can go with it. Edited January 24, 2012 by Snoogans Quote
