Just a tutorial quote. May change it but it will be from the same character.

 

[Evaccaneer Doom]

Another signature

 

[Flamebeard]

I wanted something in Animé to reflect my IRL silly and joking personality at times. :)

 

[PrismRed]

I type Prism Rangers on google, filter by gif, then take the very first result, nothing deep about it.

 

[Retro Doomer]

I like duke Nukem and wanted a cool sounding signature other once I had in mind where

No game no life

Gaming is not a waste of time its my hobby

or something like that maybe.

I make digital art, so I use my own works for customization.

I've also started taking commissions in the past year or so, and the girls in my signature are from finished cheerleader-themed commissions for a friend/client who's familiar with my OCs.

I've posted the full pics in the Art Dumping thread before:

Since my username was still available, I finally signed up for a Newgrounds account. I've been uploading my finished works there, both old and new.

The latest additions are the commissions I've worked on so far (a set of cheerleader pics featuring my OCs). And I realize now that I've never posted the full versions of the girls in my current signature here in the forums.

I still feel kinda out of place at Newgrounds though. Pics like these seem more appropriate for Pixiv.

You know, you draw very well. I'm also learning to draw, but I gave up because of people. I'm going to learn again. Do you have any tips for learning, if it's not too much trouble?

 

[King Torro]

I like Asuka Kazama from the Tekken franchise. I enjoy her design, and I really like how she plays. A spread of her different outfits also looks v aesthetic. I kind of regret not mirroring one of the outfits in the end so the ones in the end would "book end" the sig but oh well.

Screw people. SCREW THEM. Someone once said: "Everyone has 2000 bad pictures they're gonna draw. Keep drawing and get those 2000 out of the way."


I like Kuroko. Not a fan of the Civil War comic event. Reading the Railgun manga seeing this panel reminded me of the old joke Civil War pictures that were around back then. Like with the god damn Batman.

I thought you were mad at me for your long text, sorry if I bothered you.

 

[GuyZero32k4]

No, I'm trying to encourage you to keep drawing. People can be shit is what I mean.

 

[Jdan-S]

but I gave up because of people.

That's the first thing. Even I fall into that trap of drawing only what I think other people would like (such as drawing fanart instead of original works). You should draw what you like to draw, and at your own pace.

Like many, I learned first by copying/referencing the kind of works I'm interested in, mostly anime shows. Look for art styles that you like, and pay attention to the details: the hair, facial expressions, clothing, body proportions, etc. That's why some 90s/2000s anime influences still shows through in my recent works.

Look up tutorials or timelapses. Listen to how other artists use certain techniques like figure drawing, shading, drawing hands, etc. I had to do this a lot when figuring out how to use programs like Photoshop or GIMP. Also, you can figure some things out through experimentation.

Don't force or limit yourself to use a certain medium. Although I use a Wacom tablet now, I also spent years sketching on paper with mechanical pencils and gel pens before that. You can still make great art if you learn how to use what you have.

I found some sketches from way back in 2015:

I'm going to learn again.

That's good. Just keep at it and you'll improve slowly but surely. For instance, here's the first and latest pics of one of my OCs (2013 vs 2026), and you could see the difference.

 

[Lod 10]

Não, estou tentando te encorajar a continuar desenhando. As pessoas podem ser horríveis, é isso que eu quero dizer.

Thank you, it's just that I didn't quite understand what you meant. I thought you were angry, and I have a little trouble understanding things. Thank you, okay? Later I'll show you the drawings I made.

Your drawings are very good. I'm going to try to learn so I can create my own projects that I want to create oc

 

[Morgan Katarn]

Signature ?? Like forum signature like does old pictures one had back in 2000 ?? Or do do this forum have something else with the same name ??

 

[Tonberry]

It's a part of my favorite art piece by Ted Nasmith, and it fit the rest of my "theme" really well.
Here's the whole thing:

Initially I wanted to have some little Gandalf quote or something, but I came to like how clean it looked.

 

[Pearly]

Mine is Macross gifs, DYRL and Macross Plus as I've made my profile on this forum an ode to Macross.

I only learned I could add gifs to a signature recently and it makes my posts stand out at the very least.

 

[G.L.a.D.O.S.]

Mine is pretty self-explanatory, honestly.

 

[Sleepstate]

I like Gardevoir and thought it was funny

 

[Stardust Queen]

idk what im gonna have mine as yet. It's been a long time since I've been on a forum with signatures and I kind of don't have a ton to put. I'm thonking maybe a quote collection and some fanart?

 

[Bakuma1997]

I am a nihilist, not the Reddit Edgy type one, i simply chose to be despite being part of a apathetic universe, the signature is one of the "Signatures" of true nihilism
