Battlefield 4 just came out yesterday so I thought "Why not make a few signatures based on Battlefield 4?" Please leave your comments below and brohoof this if you want me to create more!

How long did it take you to review ALL the episodes?

I've actually got a few signatures that are created with the same technique, which I might post here if this thread gets enough attention. I'm glad it's making some sense, since I didn't bother adding all those tiny bits where a Photoshop user would understand.

$4 for Lineart, $6 for Colored and $10 for shaded. I'm no artist so I don't really know if the time spent on shading compared to lineart is a huge difference and whether or not it's worth your time. Nice drawings by the way.

Advanced Signature Tutorial It's me again with a new signature tutorial for you guys! Today, I'll be running you through the process of creating an amazing looking signature. Here's a sneak peak on what you'll be creating today! Render First off, place the render within the canvas. Then find a background that suits the signature and blends in well with the render. After that, duplicate the render two times and leave the one on the very top untouched for now. Once you've done that, set the first one to "Screen", the second "Color Dodge". Now you're going to smudge it. Once you've done that, use scatter and smudge the sides of the render within reason so it looks better. Add some lighting and color to the signature by creating a new layer and taking a Soft Round Brush and place some colors on it. Then color the render black on a new layer and put it on "Color Dodge" and a little bit near the skies/bright areas. Go on Google and find some light effects and then set it to "Screen" or "Lighten", whichever suits best. After that, add a Black to Red Gradient and set it to "Soft Light". Once you've done that, create a new layer and "Apply Image" in the Image section. Go to Filter>Distort>Displace, click Okay and then choose a random .PSD file. After that, erase the bits that don't look good and it'll leave you with something like this. Create another layer and then "Apply Image" again and then go to Filter>Blur>Guassian Blur and then set it to 10. Once you've set it to 10, click Okay and then set the layer to "Overlay" and 25% Opacity. Create a new layer and "Apply Image" then click on the Blur Tool with a Soft Round Brush and blur the background. After you've blurred the background, sharpen the render itself. And that's it! If you prefer to have a border around the signature, create a new layer, fill it in and Stroke>Inside, Soft Light the layer with 0% Fill. If you want to add your name on it, just put it near the render and you're done! I added a Curves layer as well at the end. If you attempted to follow this tutorial, please post your results below!

"Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity? The definition of insanity is doing the exact same thing over and over again, expecting things to change. That is crazy." -Vaas Montenegro That's a nice piece of writing. (Implying that I know anything about meaningful things.)

My favorite emoticons are definitely since their expressions are priceless. My least favorite are because there are better alternatives.

Since most of the threads over at the Creative Resources section are about asking for help, maybe a different section just for tutorials ranging from creating yourself an OC, signature tutorials, how to draw ponies etc. would make everything a lot more organized. Please consider creating this sub-section, it would make it a lot easier for people to find guides and tutorials instead of hopping from page to page through a bunch of "help" threads or using the search engine because you're not always looking for something specific.

That looks great! I can't wait to see more from you and the others! As the OP, I should participate, so here's my submission!

Practice Creating Signatures Together! I've wanted to create this thread for such a long time. It's basically a thread where I provide you a render/vector and a small group of people create a unique signature using the provided image. This thread is somewhat similar to the thread where people hone their skills in drawing, but this is creating signatures. I apologize to the beginners who aren't as skilled in making signatures. If you feel left out or extremely bad at making signatures, don't give up and keep on going because you'll improve if you keep going at it. I'll be providing at least one vector every week at any time within the week, so watch out and try your best to make it look as you can! Take note that it won't always be ponies and we'll have a competition at the end of the month. The resolution of your signature will not be limited to 600x100. You can even make a signature which is 500x250 if you wanted to or just sticking with the Donor limit which is 600x200. Whatever you prefer. In this spoiler, I'll be placing most (and hopefully all) the signatures posted, including the original vector provided. Lets start this thread off with a Twilight Sparkle vector. It'll be located within second last week, and since this thread is new, it'll be located in Week 1.

Azura didn't know why Starbolt didn't feel comfortable answering the question, but I guess it doesn't really matter if she told her or not. "What a mess.." she said, referring to the situation at hoof. "All this murder is making me sick." she finished with a sigh.

Azura went into the house, knowing that she's a lot more safer than she was compared to standing around outside. Maybe she's just a little bit too paranoid, but her gut tells her there's danger nearby. "Thanks for letting us in. So.. I was kinda wondering.. If you used to be part of the team, why did you leave?" She asked Starbolt.

We will be roleplaying as semi-anthro ponies, so they'll be standing up on two. It's basically walking on two instead of four.

The new one is a little bit hard to get used and since I have a widescreen, I prefer using the IP.Board instead of the Pony-Themed Themes.

I don't have an iPod but I do have an iPhone. This is one of the weirdest songs I have on it. Can't really think of an embarrassing song that I have on my iPhone though.

Some people type out infomation what it should be information. It's just those small things that annoy me. If only everypony had perfect grammar..
