Welcome to the realm of the Sinister Sig Makers Reborn
My thanks to War Machine for permission to rebuild this crew, and the use of the rules from the Original SSM!

Former members of the SSM are invited to return also. Just post here that you would like to be part of the team.

Membership is limited to the above named artists, in an attempt to ensure all New Grounds members the highest quality sigs available. Before someone may join the team, the group will vote, and the majority will rule.

New additions to the collective will be offered a “try out” for a specific period of time. Once the try out is over, the group will decide if the member stays or goes.

The artists above have been selected to participate in this group based on their previous work, work ethic, consistency, and ability to work within the team.

Everyone is welcome to post in this thread. In order to do our part to minimize the strain on NGs bandwidth, however, we request that sigs be posted by team members, or those who are being evaluated ONLY.

Artists are asked to observe the following guidelines:
1. This thread is “n00b” friendly. There is way too much crap being given to new users. This thread should give them an opportunity to request a sig, without being attacked. Don’t get me wrong; anyone who “earns” a flaming should get it. Let’s just try to keep it reasonable.
2. Keep the initial sig submission to one sig per user. While there will be times that two or more artists will take a request, and post a sig; we need to consider the bandwidth, and try to maintain some level of communication so that this is the exception, rather than the norm.
3. Remember that some modifications are expected. The users who request a sig have a mental vision of what they want. Our job is to bring that vision to life. Don’t take offense to someone asking for a few REASONABLE changes.
4. Most of us have been doing this long enough that it isn’t unreasonable for a user to request a particular person. When this happens, let the requested artist handle the sig.
5. Once again, please limit the posting of sigs to those who are recognized members of the SSM, or those who have been offered a tryout.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE A SIG

Please help us, to help you by giving up some basic information. While we appreciate your faith in us, please try to refrain from requests like, “I don’t care what you put in it, as long as it’s cool”. That will assure you that you’ll get something that is reflective of OUR personality, not yours. The more specific you can be will assure that you will be happy with the sig you end up with. Also note that each member of the SSM collective has a distinct, and different style. Your specifications will help us to figure out whose style is best suited to your request.

Sometimes, due to the physical, and file size restraints on the bbs will make it impossible to create exactly what you request. In these cases we will make every effort to get as close to what you want as possible.

We generally are not in the practice of posting several sigs for one person. It’s inevitable that this will occur from time to time, but please don’t ask for several of us to make you one so that you can pick the one you like the most. We’re not here to compete with one another. If you would like a specific person to make your sig, just say so. None of us will take offense. You can take a look at some examples of each artists work by clicking on the sig pic below, and following the links; or you can click on the sig pic of the artist you’re interested in.

Once your sig is posted, it’s not unusual for a few minor adjustments to be requested. Please take a good look at your sig, and make sure that the adjustments you ask for are reasonable, and that you address all of them. The best way to get on our bad side is to ask us to retool your sig over, and over. Finally, once you have your sig, Use it for a little while. I’d say a couple of weeks would be a reasonable time frame. If frequent name changes are your thing, then try requesting one that doesn’t have your name in it. If you really have your heart set on a new sig every day, you might consider downloading one of the many good graphics programs, and learning to make them for yourself.

Profile pics
If you’d like one, most of us are willing to do them, provided we aren’t swamped with requests.

you could have added the html tags the original post by w_m had, you know.

hopefully mods will find this thread a worthy one and won't lock it.

Didn't know about the tags...Thanks. I believe you were -Nathan-, were you not?

can i please have a sig its a simple one i want one that says nothin like a peep with a peep on it

Kind of a strange one, but we'll take care of it.

I gotta tell you, I didn't know what the hell to do with this one! See if you like this.

Excellent. Hopefully, we learned from the rocky path we so often stumbled upon in the previous thread, and avoid another series of troublesome events. It is only condign that the SSM deserves another go around.

If we keep up with the requests, we'll never fall behind.
I'll take some initiative and mantain the request list for the upcoming week.

Good man! Here's to a successful run!

Hey -Juggernaut- could you make me one based off of my alias?

I'm interested in what a great sig maker like you would come up with...

Wow this seems really familiar well I'm outta retirement just for this. I hope the old trends don't resurface in this topic. I'm being optimistic and assuming things will be all better.

Well I'm good at still sigs and I'm not much of an artist but come to me if you want a grpahic heavy sig.

Wow... that's pretty hell good!!!

I'll make a special request for my forum if I may,

I would like a sig that says:
www.GamersForum.ca
"Where the games takes his sense"

In it I would like to have all sort of computer parts... so it look technologic... here I know, a tech sig that would says what I mention above.

P.S. Time is NOT an issue here,
P.S.2 If you could use a 467 x 60 format; it would be perfect!
Thanks a lot in advance.

That's right! Zen will hook you up.

I do both stills and animation types, so don't hesitate to ask!

i would like an animated sig with some weird partyish bg and a dancing monkey with my name in some weird font that fits the theme. also, i would like a bag of dancing guacamole doritos. that's all.

I don't make animated signatures regularly. Neither am I huge on tech or abstract signatures, still or moving. My talent lies in semi-grunge signatures, very wholesome character-based signatures, and filling request oddities. I can think -beyond the border- and give sigs a rather explosive and in your face look.

If you want a engaging and loud sig, come to me.

Can i have on similar to the one i've posted (bu Carmel) but cusomize it as you see fit, go with what you will think looks good.

As long as my rank and level pictures are included.

Thanks in advance.

iamnone. as you may or may not remember, i change my alias quite a lot. take a quick glance at my profile next time, you'll probably notice the egsc.

users who worth joining get tryouts when new members are needed. the thread was started only a few hours ago - i doubt the group needs new members.

Done by Zen:

I can add the text if you wish...

Best of luck to you guys, you'll do great, I sincerely hope.

Can I get a sig? No need to reference muffins on it, but the text "BBM", and a nebula style background would be great.

Haha, so much for my touch of originality. :)
If I think up something better and more stylish, I'll surely revamp it for ya.

Although, Carmelha has a very distinct and original layout for this sig, so its difficult to compete in the style catagory.
