Thanks you everyone for the kind comments :love: Some of them take me a few hours up to a day or so as I like to take a break and come back to see if I still like my design. It also depends on how heavy the animations are. This is a little fun hobby for me, so instead of making fg as a goal, I just want to create cool things, try to out do my last sig and luckily people have been enjoying them :thumbsup:

So thats the secret!
Cant beat people that enjoy their work!
Im sorry im really curious on how much time you must spend to make such great signatures
A few hours meaning like 3 hours per piece?
If you went all in on one sitting, approximately how long would it take you to make, lets say for example, your current signature?
Thank you for your time and service

My current signature was done a couple of months ago when I was still new to making sigs and it prob took me a couple of days on an off. I just wanted to practice how to animate water ripples, so I naively animated it frame by frame while using distortion tools in Photoshop. I later found out from a friend that it can be easily done via other apps tools :lol: I never design in one sitting, its better to take breaks because you may not like what you designed an hour ago. If I wanted to treat my service like a design factory in order to make fg, I would just automate most of my process via actions and templates and recycle old animations and it would probably take me only an hour or two. But since I enjoy trying new things, I don't have a refined process on making sigs, so time spent is varied since each time I make a new sig since I'm trying to experiment with new effects, colours, animations. So if I didn't count breaks it would probably take me 3-10 hours, mostly from learning new techniques and implementing them.

The mark of a true artist imo, you arent in it for the payout but more for the growth and enjoyment

Price Update
I would like to slowly open up for sig requests again. Thanks to everyone again, as I didn't expect to get as many requests as I did, to the point that I couldn't keep up with lol In order keep myself from burning out from making too many sigs and keep up with my requests, I have decided to change my pricing to as follows:


Custom Animated Sig + Avatar 2,000 fg
Premades1,000 fg

50% of payment is upfront

I don't expect to get as many requests with the updated price, but I also prefer to work on 1-2 sigs a week to not get burned out and gives me time to experiment with new techniques :) Please also don't take it personal if I reject your request, I welcome all challenges, but if I don't find the request interesting, the work will suffer. Which is why I will recommend you to a different artist that will do a better job than I will.

Hi!

I really love your work! I'd like to get a custom signature and avatar. I'd like to use the image below as the base, and the color scheme should match my profile. I’ll leave the effects up to you! Also, the work above is insanely cool! :D
