Rion's Artwork (Accepting Logo Requests), Hooray, art! Options

[RionZT]

Currently accepting requests.

Note this is a free service.

As of now, I'm taking logo requests for anybody who is interested.
Just note I have a few guidelines that I'd appreciate very much if you followed.

1) Please do not spam me with requests, and please limit your requests to one at a time. I would also appreciate not being rushed, I will work as fast as I can, I'm still rather new to Photoshop and the like.

2) I would ask that you be VERY specific with what you want. Colors, gradients, etc. As for designs, I lack the skill to hand-draw them (I use brushes to make the designs, hehe...)
So if you request something I don't have, I will try to look for it, if I cannot find it, then I apologize, and you'll have to either change your request, or, if you can locate brushes that are what you're looking for and link them to me, that would be fine as well.

3) Please, please, PLEASE, do not expect some unbelievable masterpiece. As I stated before, I'm not very experienced, so making something as good as others here can do is not something that comes easily to me. On the flip side, if I do something wrong, please do not hesitate to tell me. I would hate to mess something up and have someone not tell me because they do not want to irritate me or something.

Onto examples, these are the best ones that I've done so far. (According to the kind people who have helped me along the way. )
Note: Please do not re-use any logos other than the ones you request without permission from myself (if it isn't made for someone else) or the requester (if I made it for said requester). Thanks.

I'm pretty new to Photoshop, but I whipped up a couple of logos.
Here's one I made for a game idea I had:


And this is the new (non-lame online text generator logo) and improved logo for The Shinora Chronicles:


The only problems I have with these personally is I feel like the spacing between the words is off. I may redo them later, but since school started back up for me, it's going to have to take a back-seat for now.

Fair enough, I actually agree there. The spacing is pretty odd, but quite honestly, so is the font. The last "s" in "Chronicles" is actually lower case. The first "s" in "Shinora" being uppercase. I'm not sure of the reason as to why the uppercase "s" does not have the same, if not more of that fancy little effect the lowercase "s" has going on there. Though, I've tested this and most of the uppercase letters in the font (Angelic War) have the same properties. Less or no wisp-like effects on the uppercase letters, and more on the lowercase ones. Trying to find the right balance is difficult for me, as I don't want it to look bland, but I also don't want the image to lose its readability, because at that point it virtually serves no purpose. (Other than to look cool, I suppose.)

Yeah, I completely understand the difficulty with fonts... but that's why I'm helping you along, eh? :3

I wish I had a scanner, though. That way, I could scan my drawings that I do. (Believe me though, I'm not too good at it though. I'm trying to learn how to do proportions and stuff better, but it just doesn't work out for me. My hand(s) do not cooperate with what I have in mind. :c)
About the only other kind of art I do other than this (which is recent, I'm still learning.) is editing sprites. Though, to be honest, my range of which sprites I edit is fairly limited. (Mostly edited Pokemon Trainer sprites. I'd like to learn to make my own from scratch but...I've tried. And I truly do not want anyone to bear witness to the horrors that have arose from my experiments.)

I'd love to see some of your artwork. You could even take a camera and snap some shots just to show them off until you have a scanner.

Pixel-art is sometimes rather difficult and sometimes rather simple; it depends on what you're working on. Characters that look more realistic or less realistic could make a huge difference on the complexity of the artwork. Practice will help with that though, and there are tutorials to assist you in working on sprites. I can supply a few tutorials, if you would like. =]
(Many can be found in the pinned resource topic in this art forum.)

Also, X-M-O, I've been meaning to ask. Why and how does your avatar continuously change whenever I refresh the page/come back to it/etc.?
I've been wondering that for a while, but I never remembered to ask.

No problem. I get that question rather often. ^^
I use signavatar.com to get my images to randomly appear as they do. =]

Oh yeah, and I'll work on "The Shinora Chronicle"'s logo again in a bit, going to have dinner soon, though. In any case, thanks for the feedback, it's been very helpful to me, and I appreciate it.

Enjoy your dinner! :3
You're welcome, I do what little I can to support artists.

EDIT: I totally missed the bottom half of your comment, my bad. I was just skimming through since I was a tad busy while reading.
Glad to hear you like the Project Exodus logo. To be honest, I like it much better than the first one myself.
As with the Surcease War logo, I don't remember if I used satin. The drop shadow does look a bit blurry actually, dunno how I didn't notice that before, honestly. Either way, thanks a lot.

~RionTarokai

No worries, lol. That happens a lot when I type (I put too much into posts at times, lol).

Yeah, the Project Exodus logo has been much more improved upon than the previous version. ^^

You're welcome. =]

Alright, here's the newly updated "Shinora Chronicles" logo. I tried spacing each individual letter as evenly as possible. Hopefully you all like this better than the previous versions. ^^

Beautiful!
The only thing I'd do now, is run through a few different colour themes (rainbow is great, but I'm just giving you a suggestion for your own personal research in colour schemes). Try light blues and then go to dark greens, and perhaps even some bold colours like you did originally; just to test things out a bit (even go grey-scale for the sake of it). =D

Either way, it already looks great and you've done a nice job with it!
