Welcome!
I'm the frumpy housewife of a Belgian beau. I'm the mother of one teenage son. I'm also an avid book reader, wannabe cook and a bonafide gamer gal. I've been playing WoW since 2006 and have both Alliance and Horde chars (my mains on each being Lilliputia and Kinchie, respectively, hence the mesh of the two for my Deviant username). In addition to that, I am currently neck-deep in the WildStar Beta, with solid plans of continuing with it through launch. Exciting times!
Several years back, I got involved on a graphics forum that provided free signatures, banners and logos to anyone asking, free of charge. Eventually I became one of the site's "official designers" and spent many a fun hour making signatures for others who either didn't have the time or felt they didn't have the skill to make the sigs themselves. Sadly, the site ended up closing and for a long while I stopped making signatures.
Being a WoW freak, I naturally visit WoW related sites, including MMO-Champion. For a short while I made sigs for forum users there. It helped pass the time until Mists of Pandaria went live. Since then my efforts in sig making have gone down quite a bit, though I still make the occasional signature for guildmates, family and of course myself.
Unlike most other signature makers, I use Paint Shop Pro 8. It might not have all the bells and whistles that the other programs have, but it works for me. I also use WMV and other sites that offer free downloads of images/resources (like fonts, brushes, etc). The character images, creatures and often parts of the background of most of the work presented in my gallery are the sole property of Blizzard. I simply tweak them a bit and/or add special effects to "perty" them up.
The rest, mostly found in my "older" section, comes from WoW, Guild Wars, Halo, Call of Duty and many other popular games, various anime icons, popular films and television shows and whatever other wild subject of choice requesters of the past have thought up. All credit for images used for them go to the creators of said games, animations, films, shows, etc.
I am currently not taking any requests, but feel free to browse around the gallery, leave your comments, tag a favorite or watch from the shadows and I hope you enjoy your visit!
