You are looking at the portfolio of one Silvertie; a man who likes to change the appearance of anything he looks at almost on a daily basis (that's my wallpaper; sigs and avatars tend to last a little longer). This portfolio will look mostly at the sigs and avatars.Why post this now? Well, looking at some of the other portfolos here, I look at them and say "This doesn't look so hard. I can portfolio too!" Of course... I say this about everything that looks awesome and turns out to be somewhat difficult, so we'll see, won't we?What's shown here is the "published" versions; the source copies are all in .png, larger, sometimes higher resolution, (and in the case of the avatars, about 6-7 times larger.) I won't release those, because:
a) the difference is neglible
b) I'm not re-uploading all of it
c) I'm paranoid about uploading sourceOther than that, enjoy and give feedback.
Avatars
With each iteration of the "Silvertie", my shoopin' skills only get stronger."Vanilla" Silvertie
I like my basic avatar. This avatar I made from a very basic wallpaper, and I'd like to think the picture speaks volumes about me... or a 1000-word short story, anyway. It is also the basis for any variants."Santa" Silvertie
'Tis the season to be jolly. I've traded his gun in for a hat and present sack. I would also do a bell, but bells are hard to draw without any sort of stylus or something. The first and one of the best variants I've done, ever."Party" Silvertie
A generic "party mode" for my avatar. I'll proably pull this out for any party or event that doesn't already have a specific custom avatar.Sigs - SOTW
Sigs I've made in attempts to secure a place in the SOTW hall of fame. You can also see how I've improved somewhat over time. I'll be honest - Pictures say a thousand words. Every entry up to #27 pretty much says "attention seeker" 500 times each. Those were dark days.SOTW 21
My first ever attempt at SOTW. Since I lacked talent, I went for crude humor. This was back in the day when Equitypetey gave out renders for us to use, not themes.SOTW 22
The render given this week was a hard one for me to work into anything. Subsequently, this sucked.SOTW 26
Huh, I think I skipped about 4 weeks of SOTW and took a break to do other things, I think. Anyway, when I came back, Equity had switched to themes, and it was freestyle. I am disappointed with my work here, I could have done much better than a simple picture and lame MGS reference.SOTW 27
This was the first week, I think, of the Console Titan-theme series, and it was Nintendo. I paid homage to the best FPS on NDS-Metroid Prime Hunters. Although, I'm not sure what happened to the picture; I actually had to dig through the archives and re-up this, it seems to have gone walkies; perhaps I never got around to submitting it... but I think I did.SOTW 28
Yeah, Equity decided to mix it up and throw random themes in between each console-based SOTW. This one was Halloween; and also the first time I think I displayed any sort of skill with my sig.SOTW 31
I skipped 29 and 30 because they were sony and pop art respectively (things I just couldn't do) but I returned for 31 with this; my best sig to date, IMO. (Microsoft console theme)SOTW 32
Ah, this was definitely a rush job. If I recall, the deadline was two days past and only one competitor had submitted, so I threw mine in as the thread was not locked. 10 minutes in fireworks, definitely not a contender for "best work so far".Please, any pointers from photoshop pros would be nice.
