Hello visitors, you are now entering Kenshiro Yuki's signature (and other such things) archive.

You might remember me better as "ShinobiRikari" and you may still refer to me as Shinobi, as I will most likely respond to that name better.

If you're wondering why I abandoned my old signature thread, it's not because I changed my name but rather due to the fact that I am no longer open to requests. This does not not mean that I have stopped completely, it just means that you cannot outright ask me. Rather I will be taking random requests from the request thread near the top of this forum, and from the short list of people I know well and are willing to create something for. The people on this list know well, or at least I should hope they do, who they are.

That said, continue your chatting and have a wonderful stay.

First off, I'll post some old signatures:

The Chaos Vial:
This has to be my all time favorite .gif signature I made. Unfortunately, I lost the .psd with the layout of the vial and I can't find the tutorial for the glass anymore. True, the edges are horrible, but I'm a little afraid to go in and try to fix anything.

Ichigo:
Not the best use of the render, but I liked the layout better - it was based off of a wallpaper my sister put on her computer account.

Megaman:
This was my entry for a duel against TPT in the Second KMC Signature Tournament. The theme was "Things that Transform." Once again, I can't say I love this piece. The art itself has very heavy lines which makes it slightly harder to work with.

Death:
When I first posted this signature, I stated that I wanted to create a rain affect. I never bothered to fix my mistake, but if someone knows how to create a rain affect, I'd be eternally grateful if you told me how.

After three-and-a-half months of inactivity, I finally reopened Photoshop and began to play around again.

After Dark:
The first thing I tried upon my return, this was my entry for a duel against quickshot.

Brokenhearted:
I was simply trying out some of the brushes I recently downloaded. With the larger signature size limit I was able to keep the transparent part from getting too pixelated.

Forgiveness:
My current signature as of January 20, 2007. The render itself was nicely cut, and that helped me quite a bit with the blending. Only one brush was used in this picture, and it was used to create the tribal design in the background. The rest of the signature was created with different types of blending methods.

And Barker, yes. That's the effect I was going after.

nice sigs

Yuna:
This has to the the third or fourth time I've been give a render of Yuna to use in a duel. Not that I'm complaining! Final Fantasy is a wonderful game to take and use renders from. And I don't object to using the same character repeatedly. I've done something different each time, and this round, it was circles.

Duel against Kuchiki-chan:

That's Ashe she's from FFXII
that is all

What? Oops...
I don't play Final Fantasy...
I've only seen FFVII...
And she looked kind of like Yuna...
My mistake. Please forgive me.

no need for apologies or forgiveness, I'm just stating a fact

I've always considered you one of the better makers on KMC. After the "top tier" makers like Lana, Lance, TOH, Alliance, Sauce, etc. I consider you just behind them (along with a few others that are also consistently good). Your output isn't huge, but it's always quality...except for that crappy rain effect ( )

Hey, thanks Digi.

Rewmac's and Kallark's Sig Contest First Round
Render Used: Game - Castlevania
Yet another game I don't play. I just didn't want to go up against Gannon, Baka, and any other senior signature maker in the contest who was using the Silver Surfer render. Too many layers for me to keep track of while I was creating it - I found that the "Step Backwards" command is my best friend when the wrong layer is editted... Actually, it's my bestest friend in the entire program.

That render looks familiar

Ah, heheh. But yours is three times better than mine.

Wider version of my entry of Comic/Game Render competition:

Scarlet Snow: Tainted Purity
http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/4668/night2uv5.jpg

Avatar: Symbol from BLEACH.
I need to touch up the splattering blood a little.

http://img400.imageshack.us/img400/4441/skullmq5.jpg

Cool avatar. I like the grunge/apocalyptic feel.

I want to make a perminant avatar myself.

Thanks, Gannon.

Avvy refinished but still lacking the harshness of splattered blood...

Started to procrastinate while doing homework... 3-d renders courtesy of the wonderful people on Renderworld.net (or is it .com?). I'm on the default background so the white pixels surrounding the transparency doesn't really bother me...

There's another world out there...

Quick question... do you change your matte to none?

Until you pull out your mad panda skills and pwn everybody with your transparency. When I first started using Photoshop, I kept trying to make sigs like you.

Wow O____O Talk about necroing a thread!
Well, at least I'm also the one who created it.

Anywhos....
Here's a siggy for my good buddy Quincy (^_^)
I got a bit carried away when making it.... Put an animation on it too.
Too bad animations take up so much kb.....

So here's the .jpeg format sig that is within KMC regulations.
http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/2134/heroesquincyer4.jpg

And here's the animation that's way over 50kb! O_____O

Yes.... I got carried away with the stars too.... -_____-'

Woo-hoo Very Well Done Rikari my dear!

OMG I wish I could do those kinds of signatures.. I don't know how to make transparent ones like that cry

Transparent? You mean the one I have?
You have to cut out the picture and then save the file as a .gif

I switched sigs. =P

The same thing still applies.
When you're making a signature, just make sure that you leave
the part you want transparent and when you save it, save it as a .gif file.

The process for Photoshop is that you flatten the image (under layers)
and then do "Save for Web" (under File). Save as a .gif and you're good
to go (^_^)

I'm not sure what you do for GIMP, or if you can - I've never used it!

You may want to check out the Signature 'Advice' Thread
if you use GIMP. Someone posted info about transparency there once,
and if you can't find it, you can always ask.

And for the Ashe sig, I used a pre-rendered picture I got off
Planet Renders. You'll need to sign up with them, but its worth getting the renders.

A shiny thingy...

Alliance had a really good render for round one, and I couldn't help but make my own signature with it. I prefer the cloudy bottom more than the top, though!
