Pixel Signatures - The Latest Craze in Signature Shops Around the Web

When signature makers with a lot of time and patience on their hands started to draw signatures pixel by pixel, then color and shade them in over at the Runescape fan site tip.it they had no idea what trigger they were beginning to pull. That craze started to spread. The general consensus is that pixel signatures are easy to make, but that is not true. The beauty of them, however is that they can be made in paint - there is no need for expensive programs like Adobe Photoshop. There are three main steps to creating a pixel sig.

1. Draw an outline with the pencil tool until you like it.
2. Color in the outline.
3. Cell-shade the colored picture.

Those three steps can produce a beautiful result. But that is not the only reason the best sigs will sell for 500k-1mil+. They also take up an enormous amount of time, each one of those steps often takes two hours or more to complete.

But many of the members of the “Pro Signature Makers' Guild” (PSMG) of Runevillage don't like pixel sigs. At least they think they are taking up too much space in the Sig Shop.

When Insomniac's topic "Have Pixel Signatures Ruined The Sig Shop?" arouse, some members of the PSMG were quick to express their thoughts. The general response to was that pixel sigs are great, but their are too many untalented pixel sig makers and unserious buyers in the Sig Shop. The signature shop is being flooded with pixel signature shops or requests, and the demand for other kinds of signatures are dying down. Some of the PSMG members are upset because they think making pixel sigs does not require an enormous amount of talent, but an enormous amount of effort and time.

Only four people voted in the poll. 75% of them said pixel signatues have ruined the Sig Shop. I was the only one who voted no, but I did say that they have ruined the Sig Shop temporarily.

Bepo had a quick response to the topic. His reply was this:

"Yes, they have. I don't hate pixel sigs, I actually like some, but the quality here is really bad, no one can actually make a good pixel sig. What we need is for all the noobs to leave and only have a few pixel sig posts, like the Jeppoz or Misterxman (Tip.It members) quality, and have them priced at 200k+ (what they should be)"

On October 6th, 24/47 of the topics on the first page of the Sig Shop were addressing pixel signatures. That is more than 50% of the topics! That just proves how big the demand for pixel signatures are. And that is just at Runevillage.
