A Planetside Historical Treasure: Ambient's Signature Sweatshop

Ambient · 2012-06-27, 02:30 AM

[CLOSED]

Originating in the bowels of the original Planetside forums (station.sony.ps.drama.etc) there was once a younger man who decided to begin a graphic design career by making signatures for the rabble of ornery Planetside forumsiders. He created signature after signature... his early creations were abominations but for some reason the denizens of Forumside thought they were decent.

He had a love/hate relationship with forumside, planetside and his sweatshop; it closed and reopened at least 4 times before he took his longest hiatus from Planetside. That hiatus has ended and he who was a boy is now an experienced designer with almost 10 years of graphic design under his belt. The sweatshop is not as fast as it once was, but the quality has vastly improved...

With the Planetside 2 beta on the horizon, I've decided to reopen the rusty/worn doors of this old Forumside mainstay. The thread will eventually be mirrored on the official forums, but for now it begins here.

The sweatshop is reopened.

Have a look at some of my most recent works:

How the signature request/queue process works:

As far as the signature queue goes, if you are interested in a signature, just tell me what sort of direction to take with the signature (theme, colors, images if any, feel, particular other signatures you like the style of, empire, outfit symbol, etc) and we'll work from there!

The Queue So Far:
1. Zidane
2. MarineSix
3. Greeniegriz
4. NewSith
5. Zalmoxis
6. TheBladeRoden
7. robocpf1
8. Spiritoffire

I like your Ares one. Very cool.

Nice. I love how PS2 is reinvigorating long dormant parts of the PS1 community. I can't wait to see how some of the new blood adds to it all.

You do great work man. I look forward to seeing your stuff around the forums. Always good to have some really top notch stuff as inspiration to better my own entry level skills.

Cool.

Never tried anything like this, but I might sometime!

Wow, that's some great work!

I'd love if you could create me a signature, perhaps base on the Terran Republic with the name "Dmon" somewhere.

If you have time of course. =D

Sure thing - you're first to ask!

...and thanks everyone else for the compliments.

Are requests limited to just forum signatures?

I can do all sorts of graphic design/web design work. If you're interested, PM me with your specific needs!

As far as the signature queue goes, if you are interested in a signature, just tell me what sort of direction to take with the signature (theme, colors, images if any, feel, particular other signatures you like the style of, empire, outfit symbol, etc) and we'll work from there!

Edit: Also, I've updated the top thread with instructions for requesting + the current queue. Thanks for the interest everyone!
