Kei's Avatar & Signature Gallery

Hi everyone! Many years ago I posted threads here showcasing my avatars/signatures, but it's been a long time since then, and I've never showcased them all in one place. So, after creating a new set tonight, I figured why not do it now and see how I've progressed? I've been designing for over six years now, and have included pretty much every avatar/signature I've ever designed in this post; even those that I never ended up using.

Please let me know what you think! And if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

NOTE: None of the work you see here is available for personal use.

This was basically the first signature I ever made. I had just discovered brushes, haha.

This one again features Ruki, vocalist for the Japanese rock band, the GazettE. It's been over eight months since I last changed up my avatar/signature, and after seeing scans from this photoshoot the other day, I knew it was time to make a new one!

For those wondering, "Pulse Wriggling to Dim Scene" is the title of the GazettE's most recent, fan club limited tour.

Thank you! And that "Beyblade" is actually a Battle Striker, haha. It's from one of the commercials.

I do still make them! The one I'm using right now was designed a few hours ago.

---

Ah, battle strikers.
It all makes sense.

I'm kidding.

Do you still take requests?

Unless the request/content is interesting to me for one reason or another, I do not. Sorry!

Ah, that's ok.
Though as I said before, the work is incredible!

It's also worth mentioning that I designed the typeface seen in my current Ruki signature. It's called AlphaOmega. I'm hoping to release it sometime this summer on MyFonts and wherever else will accept it.

Awesome work! I really love the 2012 and 2011 work!

I do too. I feel like it was by 2011 that I had finally developed a style of my own. I didn't feel like I was doing something just because I had learned it in a tutorial anymore; I was doing it because it was what I felt best represented myself.

Nice! I love especially the HMS and Plastics Remembrance Day sigs and avis for the Committee. Really awesome.

Ah, Sho (so zetta awesome!)

Thank you! It's hard to believe that it's been five years since that game came out; I remember being so excited for it prior to release. I made that in June 2008.

After seeing your GazzettE tag, I knew I had to make one to steal your identity walk in the footsteps of someone awesome.

Haha, well it's not bad. The overall feeling is cohesive, which is good, but there is a few elements which could be improved:

1. The render of Ruki. It seems like he is fading into the background for no particular reason. Where are his arms?

2. The text. It doesn't seem to have any relationship to anything; it's just ... there. There's nothing wrong with text that bleeds off the edges of something, but it doesn't seem like it was done with any sort of purpose here.

I guess not! Haha.

Haha, it was a quick thing. I didn't really think of a concept, it just... Happened

I could say the same thing about mine. Just because something was intuitively designed and doesn't have a completely or clearly defined "concept" doesn't mean that it shouldn't be beautiful. No matter what, if not philosophically, you at least have to judge what you're creating aesthetically.

Your work is really awesome Kei. How do you make those designs?.
