Animedragon's GFX Gallery

[Animedragon]

Welcome to my GFX Gallery. I've only been creating these for short time so there's not many to show you, but everyone's got to start somewhere.

This is the first one I made for the Forum. It's quite a simple idea just showing characters from some of my favourite series in a 35mm filmstrip.

I got a bit more adventurous with this next one. It's the same basic idea of characters from some of my favourite series, but as cut-outs on a graded background along with my username and a dragon.

This next one is my current sig and focuses on just one series, which happens to be my overall favourite series. I don't currently have any plans to change it, but it could happen later on.

This final one for this posting focuses on another of my favourite series and is the most elaborate and colourful  of my creations so far.

That's it for now, I'm currently working some more which I'll add when they're ready.

I like your works a lot everything looks really great. The last one is my favorite, the card captors one, I like all the colors in that. The film strip one is very good too it seems unique and creative.

Thank you for your kind words about my creations. I the Cardcaptors one is the one that most captures the spirit of the series.

I agree, I love that CCS one, the background for some reason really seems to go so well with it, I guess because it's pink and kinda gives off a "Sakura blossom" feel to me and her name is Sakura lol I loved that anime so much as a kid to the point I used to wear rollerblades everywhere like she does in the series because I wanted to be like her  I think that was one of the first animes I ever watched before I really even knew what anime was. 

I still really love that one with the circles in it too with the Clannad characters. I've always used stuff like circles/picture frames/ or some kinda shape to put characters in for some of my sigs as well and I think it always looks really nice. 

Hope to see lots of updates here all the time ~! Oh and not sure if you know this or not as I only found out when I made my showcase, but you can't edit the main post to add new works after so many days and can only add them in new posts on the showcase. I never knew that and am kind of disappointed I can't continue to update my main post page on mine

Cool It would be nice if you tell how did you start making them what software did you use and more

Yes, that one really does match the subject well. I can picture you zooming everywhere on rollerblades, they were roller-skates when I was younger and they were very popular, I tried them and totally failed to keep my balance and crashed. I didn't do myself any serious injury, but it put me off roller-skates.

The circles are globes, but they don't look very 'globe like' in that sig. They were created using a Photoshop action from PanosFX.com which is a really great resource site for Photoshop users.

I use PhotoShop Elements 2022 to create my work as I can't afford the full version of PhotoShop.

I started creating sigs after seeing the creations the Forlorn and Sakura were making and I though that I'd have a go at doing something similar. I'm still a beginner at this game but I'm enjoying making them.

Lol maybe I should get my rollerblades back out because to be honest I think it might be helpful getting around the school campus  

I haven't heard of that website, but if it has graphic resources on it, I want to check it out ~

 Don't even think about the faintest possibility of getting those rollerblades out until your neck is fully recovered!

If you're a PhotoShop user PanosFX.com is a site you should check out, Panos has created loads of PhotoShop actions for graphic artists.

 Oh don't worry, I don't even own a pair right now lol but I did used to be pretty okay on them, I could even do a few tricks. Probably because I basically never took them off. 
I was looking at this site a little last night, it seems like they have some pretty cool stuff on it ~! When I get some free time this weekend I'm going to download a few things from it.

Here's my latest creation. This time the subject is Fushigi Yugi, a series from way back and a long time favourite of mine.

This looks really good, well done. I like in the corner the plant with the picture. It all has a very Japanese feel to it and the red colors are bright and look good with it.

OOOO Yesss looks really awesome  As Pessi said, I like the PNG's with the branches/sign post. It does give off very Japenese-like vibes and stands out so well on the red. I like the red bird you put behind the girl too, it all just fits very well together and looks amazing 10/10.

[Forlorn]

I've been meaning to post in here, but things in my mind haven't made it easy to remember things, so my memory is even worse than it used to be lately. I think all of your GFX projects are exceptional, my friend. ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ I look forward to seeing your future projects. ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^

It's been a while since I posted any GFX, but other projects and commitments got in the way and this GFX took a while to make.

Love it!!~ The red/blue circles on each side look so nice with the characters in them and it fills up the space so it doesn't look empty on either side  I also like the fire PNG in the front that kinda ties it all together and "connects" all the renders for some "flow" to the signature. You did a great job

I went for a simpler style with this one that was inspired by Saikano.

This look great. I like the background in this one and the font you used for your name.

Thank you.

The font is Kingthings petrock regular. I'm not quite sure where I got it, a while ago when it was quiet at work I used to pass the time searching the web and raiding the free font websites.
