Title: Not Your Regular Furry Art
Post by: Grisli on January 02, 2012, 05:57:55 PM
Let me start by saying that I totally lack the ability to draw, paint, or otherwise create visual representations of something that's in my head. That said, I do enjoy photo manipulation and using Photoshop to create artwork. I recently the created the below signature to fit to my newly discovered fursona. I can also create such sigs from cartoons or drawings. If anybody wants one or something similar, let me know. I work for love :D

If you're willing to do artwork, I would love to have one.


What do you wish to know / need for such a great signature picture?

Whoa that looks great! I think I may ask for one as well  XD

Hey Otebon, let me know if you like this. I just did some random stuff, it really takes the eye of another to know if it's good. If you were thinking a different style or different pictures or something, let me know. Basically all I need to make one is one or two pictures. If you want a general animal, like your timber wolf instead, that I can do really easily.
Let me know Sig! And aww thanks KangaDrake! :D


Edit::: hold your thoughts on that one, unless you want something totally different; I've already realized how to improve it.

Thanks all! Version 2 attached. Personally, I like this a lot better. I forget to do the curves, color balance, and stuff like that the first time.

Post by: Otebon Albrecht on January 02, 2012, 06:42:16 PM
That's awesome Grisli, now I just have to figure out how to get it on as a signature!  XD


Post Merge: January 02, 2012, 06:50:38 PM
There we go... Now I got it all figured out.


I love the blue (favorite color, nice choice). If you ever feel the need to make another one for me, I adore the moon, the metal silver, the color dark blue, and literature.


Have at it, but not going to ask for another. Your gift is fantastic!
Title: Re: Not Your Regular Furry Art
Post by: Grisli on January 02, 2012, 06:56:31 PM
Otebon, I'd love to make another one. I've been really quite bored lately so having something to do is making me happy.


Sigcutio, I've made you one. I know you didn't expressly ask for it, but here it is anyway XD

You are fast at these! I'm a bit afraid now to get up away from the computer to go make a sandwich. By the time I come back, you'll have made everyone on the forum one of these!
Title: Re: Not Your Regular Furry Art
Post by: Rasui on January 02, 2012, 07:00:04 PM
What program do you use to make those Grisli? gimp Or photaShop Pro C5?
Title: Re: Not Your Regular Furry Art
Post by: Grisli on January 02, 2012, 07:01:27 PM
Hahaha well don't worry about that. I'm actually going to be watching a hockey game pretty soon, but I'll do more later tonight maybe. :D I'm glad everybody is enjoying them.
And I use Photoshop CS4 actually because it was easier to *removed* find. :P

I could make you one, Drake. I don't exactly have a reference point for a foxaroo though. Let me know!
Yep :) Otebon mentioned he likes literature, and what better quote than one from A Midsummer Night's Dream?

I can definitely work with that. Give me until tomorrow sometime. It's getting late here and I've gotta get up and hit the gym tomorrow then run a few errands before my trip to London this weekend. I will definitely make you an awesome sig though.

Would you hate me if I ask for one as well? I don't have any artwork or reference art to put into it, but still...
Pweez?  0:)

Post by: Grisli on January 03, 2012, 09:33:53 PM
You guys are more than welcome! I enjoy doing this! That said, here are two more. One for the foxaroo and one for the black wolf. I kinda went more grungy on these ones. If you don't like em, let me know, and I can fix em.

I see what you did there Leiton. And you know what? I've said thanks a million times, but haven't actually given a hug.


*Hug
Hope it fits, the guy at the store says it's a "one-size-fits-all" sort of thing.

Thanks for the hugs! :D :D :D


Kaya, here is your sig. Taco, I'll start working on yours in a few minutes :) Edit::: What kind of stuff do you want in yours, Taco? If you have a reference pic for your fursona or if you could just let me know what kind of creature you are, I can get started.


Hope you like it!


Thanks Timmy!

Title: Re: Not Your Regular Furry Art

Post by: Grisli on January 05, 2012, 11:38:18 AM
You're quite welcome Drake. Thanks Otebon, that's correct.
However, if you'd rather have a sig with just a regular animal I can do that too, thanks to google images, but if you want your fursona him/herself in there, I need a base picture to play with.


Also, I saw this last night in a welcome thread and it made me happy haha

Taco, I'll see what I can do. It might take a bit of creative liberty but I might be able to work it out. Tomorrow though. It's after 1 am here and I've been up since 3:30am and been from London on bus-plane-bus-subway-tram to Bratislava and then to Vienna, so I'm quite tired.

Just finished another piece. This one was non-commissioned. I met another bear the other day on IRC, name of Lita Sableoak, and saw she had a DA collection, so I checked it out. I thought it was awesome that she looked so much in build/level of anthropomorphization to what I had imagined Grisli to be. Here's her original image: http://www.deviantart.com/download/215674254/magic_burns_brighter_by_litasableoak-d3kenbi.png (http://www.deviantart.com/download/215674254/magic_burns_brighter_by_litasableoak-d3kenbi.png)


I didn't want to make a signature out of it, per se, so I decided to take everything I learned making signatures and try to make a wallpaper. Here's the result. All in all, I'm very happy with it.
http://grisli.deviantart.com/art/Magic-Burns-Manipulation-Wallpaper-278705581 (http://grisli.deviantart.com/art/Magic-Burns-Manipulation-Wallpaper-278705581)


Again, credit for the original goes to Lita_Sableoak, a fellow burrrrrrr.
