Endless Paradigm

Signatures

Lilium


It may not be the prettiest, but it was my first, and enough to make me do many more by showing myself I can realize some thoughts. I smiled and saved.



Yuki Nagato


Beauty when composed makes serenity, and this is probably one of my most well received Signatures, albeit I take barely any credit for the background or the render, I simply modified for unity.



Purity


Still one of my favorites to this day. I hated stocks at the time, but its just like having a picture of a dream place, often a tropical paradise, this caught me, it was pure, and I wanted to capture it. Early days of my love for Haruhi! *click*



Beauty


The result of complete and utter love for the energy of it as it came together - this, easily the result of the same mindset that resulted in 'Purity', and the need to make something that surpassed anything I had done at the time (to battle Rikku, actually..), I loved it and still do.



Happy


The Render, The Energy, The Happiness. I needn't say more than, I hadn't been able to impress you as much since, Rikku ;p



Sunset


An astoundingly beautiful palette of warm colours with this mystery lady I later learned to be Shana - this is easily the best I've seen her - nevertheless its a calm amongst the storm.



Ichigo for ElementGFX


I don't believe this was ever uploaded before - well I know Jon (Pyro) has seen it since it was my introductory signature out of 3 (only 2, including this was completed, the other mysteriously vanished) for the Duo-Team plan for PSP-Hacks, that eventually died. An Energized and Soft Signature that says Hi.



Suzumiya Haruhi


Or, Haruhi Suzumiya, was someone in mind that was screaming for a signature to be made out of. So I did. This was the result. Peace was achieved and it was a favorite I thank my conflictual nature of mind for creating.



Yuki LIGHT


I was straining to compose something complex, but once I saw this render, I knew I wanted to relearn an important lesson, beauty in minimalism. Simple, Clean, Minimal yet Bursting with Compatible colours and simple border made this safe and sweet.



Primula


Exactly the same case as the first Yuki signature, the render already had a home, so I brought them together, created the atmospherism and learned more about this colour palette, which I used to refrain from, and framed it, lovely!



Yuki - Cold Night


This had mixed criticism, and was one to receive some of the least at all - nevertheless, I simply adore this signature in its every shimmer, from the warmth and cold of the many hues of blue, Yuki knew this was a night of magic.



Hina Ichigo


Yep, the little one who loves strawberries. This was soon after a trio of signatures I did as part of a series that used very dark palettes - but I applaud myself on this one for creating one of my most atmospherically sound surroundings for the render I used - and at that, the render was of a tarnished quality. Not one of my most popular, but a highlight of my skill development.



Shana - ULTIMA


This took days of thought, concepts, plenty of brushes, techniques, layers, restraint and blatant overindulgence. The result, I was just about satisfied with, so was she, and it remains one of the best received - believe me, the moment it clicked it was done, it did hit me it took way to long, I saved the PSD, and never opened it again.



Konata 'II'


The previous level had a few experimental shots at minimalism that peaked with 'Yuki LIGHT', ExBu made a great vector of one of my favorite characters and that resulted with me HAVING to make a signature out of it, Simple yet a Fan-Choice!



Shana 'III Revision 2'


Don't ask how I came up with this name, but Shana wanted closure at this level and that's what I did. The blistering strength and power I had to display using effective colours of the flame makes this a necessary end of practice on atmospherics that started with 'Hina Ichigo', and I think I did quite well...

~ v7 Series ~
It was a point where I knew I just HAD to break from my standard styles and use techniques I hadn't tried to use before - in combination with the practice from the last level, the v7 Series was made.

I - Revy - Black Lagoon


II - Simca - Air Gear
Senseito Sakura & SkyDX Collaboration


III - Yuki - SOS Brigade

Organic Beauty


Wonderful expression from the lady caused me to immediately open Photoshop and do it all, like the v7 Series, I done substantial practice on background/atmosphere creation and this really did it for me, a very well received signature that really stands out because of its unique blend of positive colours that really shows off her expression.



Ryuugu


Not many renders were out there, but as soon as I found one I wanted to capture the character that was Ryuugu - a twisted individual from an Anime I won't ever forget - she's sweet.. and mentally dangerous - and that's what I captured here. I loved my text work here as well, it all come together well.



Mystis Synthis


I saved her into my 'Render' folder - and I attempted a few times - but failed every time. Eventually, I knew what was wrong, I was trying to make something that overwhelmed her, while I really needed to embrace her already existing influence of tints of beauty amongst the darkness, while making a sig of her by herself would've seemed too empty, so I extended that influence into one of the largest signatures I've done.



Ironman


I got to give thanks to Nacos here - I rarely make signatures without Anime characters but I really tried hard on this one and like a signature I did before - 'Halo' - I had an idea on what to do with the stock I chose. I had at it and it came together after a few hours. It was ready for the battle and was a great chance to use particle based techniques to pull a background together.



Divine Beauty


My latest signature with a character from Anime - Kareha from Shuffle! - I say latest, but this was last year, many months ago now, but showed an end to my distinct use of particles (like in Ironman) and atmosphere (like in Organic Beauty) and use soft, sweet colours for a nice, happy signature.



Olivia


Some liked it, some didn't - I love it. I made it out of love for Olivia and her voice - especially the OLIVIA inspi' REIRA (TRAPNEST) album, with many beautiful melodies amongst very well written rock tracks. Anyway, back to the signature, I used the cover from one of her albums and it came together well, it was a cold signature, and I was tempted not to do it at all when I realized this, but some effective use of colour helped my pull it together as well as the style of containment, border and text. It was done months ago and last signature of this level, none have been done since.

Large Pieces

Kaede - DreamArts


My piece made for celebrating the creation of DreamArts. Kaede from Shuffle in a beautiful moment - inspired by the enthusiasm of the team.



Purity - Aria
Senseito Sakura & ChaoticGamer Collaboration


The friendliness of the render Chaotic and myself decided to work with brought 2 unique styles and point of views together in a very special collaboration that brings a happy moment into an illustrated memory captured by the artistry of our minds to bring a compatible, sound, fine, soft and bright piece.



Hanyuu & Rika - When They Cry


I used this awkwardly drawn render and a stock to make this piece, but I knew that the red/rose colours were needed for this to pull together, a few hoursthat consisted of many adjustments and optimizing made this end result which defines 'momentous'.



Other Collaborations

Senseito Sakura & SkyDX Series
I really enjoyed working on this series of signatures with SkyDX, that was long needed to be done since wee wanted to work on something for quite a while, wee finally got around to it and great signatures came out of it that really shows off how wee wanted to make the most of the strength of the colours.

I - Noumi


II - Artificial Soul


III - cute pink dreams



Vectors

Ichigo Mashimaro


Determined to do one, over a couple days I finished this simple, yet undeniably cute vector of Ichigo Mashimaro, my first and only and the moment.
