<p>Since Sapphiresniper has retired, I decided to make a new thread to keep track of the many talented artists offering their services here on the Sig forum!</p><hr /><p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">HOW THIS WORKS</span></strong></p><p>If players want a sig made and can't (or won't) provide high-quality screenshots, they can make an appointment (by posting here, or via PM) with a designated photographer on their server to get some good ones taken.</p><p>The photographer can send copies to the player, if they want them, but their main job will be to send the images to the artist who's doing that character's sig.</p><p>Photographers should be reliable, have a decent graphics card and system that can handle the graphics quality being cranked up (almost) all the way, and be able to answer email requests and fill "orders" in a timely manner. It also helps if they have a good eye and can frame basic AND unique shots well.</p><p>Volunteers should post in this thread and provide their forum name (for contact purposes) and server to be added to the list. <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" width="15" height="15" /></p><p><strong>Common sense steps:</strong></p><ol><li>Players that want to take advantage of this service should first submit a request with the sig artist of their choice. </li><li>They should notify the artist that they're going to have a photographer take their screenshots for them (nobody likes surprise attachments in their inbox!). </li><li>The player should contact a photographer from their server and make an appointment, providing them with the sig artist's name they requested from. <ul><li>If the photographer is busy or can't fulfil the request AND there are multiple photographers on the server, they should direct the player to contact another photographer. </li><li>Once the screenshots are taken, the photographer should email them (zipped or separate) to the sig artist (and the player, if they want copies) along with the character's name and server.</li></ul></li></ol><p><strong>Typical types of screenshots needed:</strong></p><ul><li>Two or more close-up shots of the face (from the bottom center of the collarbone to above the highest point of the head or hair) from different angles. </li><li>Two or more shots of the torso or body (from the waist or knees up) from different angles. </li><li>Two or more "action" shots (fighting, performing emotes, etc.) of the torso or full body from different angles.</li></ul><p>The above list is just the basics that will give us an adequate selection of screenshots to use in a sig. Additional and unusual shots are welcome. Shots that have the player looking in different directions by targeting an NPC or another character are a plus. Please try not to submit duplicate files that are almost identical; one good shot of a pose is plenty.</p><p>For additional screenshot guidelines, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://eq2.lunaclick.net/reference/screenshots.php" target="_blank">click here</a>!</p><hr /><p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">THE VOLUNTEERS</span></strong></p><p><strong>Antonia Bayle [RP]</strong>- <a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/pm/sendTo.m?user_id=302967" target="_blank">K_Aramae</a></p><p><strong>Barren Sky (Russia)</strong>- ...</p><p><strong>Befallen</strong>- <a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/pm/sendTo.m?user_id=137533" target="_blank">Catseyes</a></p><p><strong>Blackburrow</strong>- <a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/pm/sendTo.m?user_id=231145" target="_blank">Tyranire</a></p><p><strong>Butcherblock</strong>- ...</p><p><strong>Crushbone</strong>- <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/pm/sendTo.m?user_id=27590" target="_blank">Koava</a>- <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/pm/sendTo.m?user_id=1404" target="_blank">Sorako</a> (any)</p><p><strong>Everfrost</strong>- ...</p><p><strong>Guk</strong>- ...</p><p><strong>Harla Dar (Russia) [PvP]</strong>- ...</p><p><strong>Innothule</strong>- ...</p><p><strong>Innovation (Germany)</strong>- ...</p><p><strong>Kithicor</strong>- <a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/pm/sendTo.m?user_id=187159" target="_blank">Amana</a></p><p><strong>Lucan D'Lere [RP]</strong>- <a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/pm/sendTo.m?user_id=66945" target="_blank">Seagoat</a>- <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/pm/sendTo.m?user_id=325792" target="_blank">Thundersoul</a></p><p><strong>Mistmoore</strong>- ...</p><p><strong>Nagafen [PvP]</strong>- <a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/pm/sendTo.m?user_id=287993" target="_blank">Galvanize</a></p><p><strong>Najena</strong>- <a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/pm/sendTo.m?user_id=52710" target="_blank">Lunnagirl</a>- <a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/pm/sendTo.m?user_id=161179" target="_blank">SirMooseAlot</a></p><p><strong>Nektulos</strong>- <a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/pm/sendTo.m?user_id=182361" target="_blank">Ashimari</a></p><p><strong>Oasis</strong>- <a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/pm/sendTo.m?user_id=190620" target="_blank">DragonFighter</a>- <a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/pm/sendTo.m?user_id=305159" target="_blank">Hazelle</a></p><p><strong>Permafrost</strong>- ...</p><p><strong>Runnyeye (UK)</strong>- <a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/pm/sendTo.m?user_id=65832" target="_blank">Ronja</a>- <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/pm/sendTo.m?user_id=1404" target="_blank">Sorako</a> (any)</p><p><strong>Sebilis (Japan)</strong>- ...</p><p><strong>Splitpaw (UK)</strong>- <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/pm/sendTo.m?user_id=1404" target="_blank">Sorako</a> (any)</p><p><strong>Storms (France)</strong>- ...</p><p><strong>Test</strong>- <a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/pm/sendTo.m?user_id=66945" target="_blank">Seagoat</a> - <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/pm/sendTo.m?user_id=1404" target="_blank">Sorako</a> (any)<a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/pm/sendTo.m?user_id=1404" target="_blank"></a></p><p><strong>Test Copy</strong>- <a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/pm/sendTo.m?user_id=66945" target="_blank">Seagoat</a>- <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/pm/sendTo.m?user_id=1404" target="_blank">Sorako</a> (any)</p><p><strong>The Bazaar [LG]</strong>- ...</p><p><strong>Unrest</strong>- ...</p><p><strong>Valor (Germany)</strong>- ...</p><p><strong>Veksar (Japan)</strong>- ...</p><p><strong>Venekor [RP/PvP]</strong>- <a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/pm/sendTo.m?user_id=175623" target="_blank">Captain Apple Darkberry</a></p><p><strong>Vox [LG/PvP]</strong>- ...</p><hr /><p>If you would like to volunteer or update your status, please post here or <a rel="nofollow" href="/eq2/pm/sendTo.m?user_id=66945" target="_blank">PM me</a> with your server(s) of choice.
