Multimedia, signatures and avatars, for Tom de Bruijn's alter-ego 'Maynar'.

When my earlier alter-ego, Uturn, became a little boring I decided to create a new one. After a couple hours thinking I was still nowhere. But then I began searching all my earlier works and finally I found it. A few years ago I wrote a science-fiction story about a species that was gonna exterminated by another spiecies, but found a way to escape. When they where travelling through space they came in contact with a spiecies called 'The Maynar'. That's where I got the name from, I was glad it saved that story.

Alright that was the history of the name Maynar, further I choose Maynar because it sounds well and has lot's of room to play with. But why did I needed to make new signatures? Well, some people in my school started their own gaming clan and I joined them, of course. They began playing Call of Duty 2, Battlefield 2142 and some other games.

Now I will finally show what I did.
I started with a basic idea of what I wanted and since I didn't photoshopped for a while I had to get into it again. I really wanted to make a Battlefield 2142 themed signature and avatar since I really like that game! This was the first result:


While most of us might think this is a good signature I didn't, I wanted it to make it a whole lot better. So I pretty much started over again, used some more advanced layer settings and eventually made this:


On the signature above I decided I would use this text layer style for the Maynar signatures, which you will notice on the next signatures. But not the next. Here I tried to make it a little better, but I think I failed there. It shows more information, but isn't much prettier than the one before.


And then I knew it. I had my mind set to a eclipse kind of shape in the right-bottom-corner. And then I added some moving things to it. Like it's scanning my current fighting skills on Battlefield 2142. I also stept of the soldier that is in the other three signatures on the left side.


Well now before I forget, with all signatures there goes an Avatar. This wasn't all that difficult to make. I used the basics from the second signature, which has the some basics as the final signature (the one above) and added my clan and a huge 'M' from Maynar. The Avatar also states: 'Squad Leader'. This is correct I am squad leader from the Battlefield 2142 squad.


Well I hope you like the signatures I made, of course I can also make them for you, just fill in the Contact form.
