Sir_Light's Custom Design Shop! =)

Welcome to Sir_Light's Design Shop! =)

Please read! Chances are it will answer all of your questions prior to messaging me. =)

I've got a baby on the way and my personal business is a little slow so I figure I may as well put some of my talents to good use any way I can. =)

I'm currently offering all of my graphic/animation/design abilities for hire! I'm asking that in return you hook me up with some items for my time and talent. I'm willing to create anything for you; Signatures, avatars, wallpapers, sprays, animations, or anything else you may have a need for. I'm a graphic designer/animator/photographer after all, I can do things beyond these, if you have something else in mind don't hesitate to inquire about it!

I typically do this sort of thing for a living, not just for entertainment purposes. I've been in the business of graphic design/animation for over 15 years now, with a bachelor's degree in animation. I've done various web design & graphic jobs, as well as started my own custom cake, photography, & videography. I've been paid between $15-150++ per project in TF2 items/paypal, depending on the project. Please note that high quality work takes a lot of time and I am doing this in my free time as a way to earn some money when my personal business is slow. You are welcome to make offers but please understand that big projects won't be taken on for a mere one or two bucks, i'm sure you can find someone else here to do one for you if that's what you're looking for. =) I don't have set prices, however I produce very high quality work given a bit of time and direction/suggestions as to what you want. Please be aware that I may politely refuse to do something for you unless I feel the project & compensation is fair for both of us. Obviously the more in-depth something is the more time it'll take me. It takes anywhere from 1-7+ hours to complete these projects. =)

With all that said, here are some examples of basic things I can do for ya:

[size=20pt]What I need from you to begin:[/size]

First things first.. Add me to steam, send me a pm, or add me to aim/msn ( Aim= SirLight23 [email protected] ) ( http://steamcommunity.com/id/Sir_Light ) I'd love to chat with you directly about what you're looking for and it will speed things up for both of us. I may not always have the time on certain days to do projects but I'll get to them as I do have some spare time. (My wife is pregnant and I work from home, those priorities come first obviously. =P)

Project type: What are we making? A signature, wallpaper, spray, avatar, something else?

Name: What you want on your signature if anything.

Backgrounds: Do you have a specific background you'd like to use? if not give me a general idea of what you may want.

Characters: Any characters fictional or non that you particularly like? I may be able to find an awesome picture of someone, crop it, and turn it into something really cool for ya.

Style: Do you like grunge, cartoon-ish, vector, painted, sketched, bright, dark, etc? I need to know the kind of style you're looking for.

Colors: What colors do you take a liking to?

Font types: Any suggestions or can I do my thing? =)

Links: If you want your steam, backpack, rep, or any other links in your signature please provide the EXACT text that you want along with the links (bp, backpack, pack, steam ID, steam, reputation, rep, etc.)

Other: Any other ideas you may have for me needs to be said now. Things like; do you want the character to go off the main part of the signature so it looks like it's popping out of it? Do you want any borders or any other text on it? Do you have any other design ideas that you might want implemented? Do you want a matching avatar? Things like that.


I'm very easy to work with and I enjoy having clients walk away happy, the key to this is communication though, if you don't describe what you're looking for; chances are you won't like the outcome, even if it is awesome in it's own respect. I'm not going to spend a lot of time working on a single project over and over until you're satisfied. I've had enough of that working with real clients on websites & graphic work in the past, I don't need it here too. =P I'm happy to fix anything you may or may not like once I put something together, just know that my time is far more valuable to me than a key or two. I'm doing this because I enjoy it (obviously), not because I want client drama for almost nothing payment wise.

After I put together your project I'll give you a link where you can view it and create your code for your signature section in your profile. Once that's all done I politely ask that you add some rep in my thread and then pay me for my services. If you end up really liking your project you are more than welcome tip me, it's totally up to you.

I'm usually around in the late afternoons and evenings (4PM+ Mountain Time), though my computer is on all day and I'm here off and on if you want to message me. I look forward to working with you on your project! =)

I was wondering if I'm your first customer you could either do it free or give me a discount on a layout/ wallpaper for my gold sale thread. My msn is: [email protected] please get back to me.

 

I have plenty of customers from other forums and businesses, someone just suggested I put up a thread on this one as it's fairly active here. =)

 

Highly recommend Sir_Light. He's a legit guy who will get you a great graphic for your money's worth!
