Pixel Signatures - The
Latest Craze in Signature Shops Around the Web
When signature makers with a lot of time and patience on their hands started
to draw signatures pixel by pixel, then color and shade them in over at the
Runescape fan site tip.it they had no idea what trigger they were beginning
to pull. That craze started to spread. The general consensus is that pixel signatures
are easy to make, but that is not true. The beauty of them, however is that
they can be made in paint - there is no need for expensive programs like Adobe
Photoshop. There are three main steps to creating a pixel sig.
1. Draw an outline with the pencil tool until you like it.
2. Color in the outline.
3. Cell-shade the colored picture.
Those three steps can produce a beautiful result. But that is not the only reason
the best sigs will sell for 500k-1mil+. They also take up an enormous amount
of time, each one of those steps often takes two hours or more to complete.
But many of the members of the “Pro Signature Makers' Guild” (PSMG) of Runevillage
don't like pixel sigs. At least they think they are taking up too much space
in the Sig Shop.
When Insomniac's topic "Have Pixel Signatures Ruined The Sig Shop?" arouse,
some members of the PSMG were quick to express their thoughts. The general response
to was that pixel sigs are great, but their are too many untalented pixel sig
makers and unserious buyers in the Sig Shop. The signature shop is being flooded
with pixel signature shops or requests, and the demand for other kinds of signatures
are dying down. Some of the PSMG members are upset because they think making
pixel sigs does not require an enormous amount of talent, but an enormous amount
of effort and time.
Only four people voted in the poll. 75% of them said pixel signatues have ruined
the Sig Shop. I was the only one who voted no, but I did say that they have
ruined the Sig Shop temporarily.
Bepo had a quick response to the topic. His reply was this:
"Yes, they have. I don't hate pixel sigs, I actually like some, but the quality
here is really bad, no one can actually make a good pixel sig. What we need
is for all the noobs to leave and only have a few pixel sig posts, like the
Jeppoz or Misterxman (Tip.It members) quality, and have them priced at 200k+
(what they should be)"
On October 6th, 24/47 of the topics on the first page of the Sig Shop were addressing
pixel signatures. That is more than 50% of the topics! That just proves how
big the demand for pixel signatures are. And that is just at Runevillage.
