GRcade Christmas SigSwap 2012 - The Grand Unveiling

Christmas Sigswap this year is sponsored by Stealth Bastard Deluxe™, available now on Steam at a bargain price of £6.99.

Hello and welcome to the Grand Unveiling of GRcade Christmas Sigswap 2012.

Thanks everyone for taking part this year. You can practically feel the festive warmth dripping off these sigs. After the sad news about Sir Patrick Moore earlier today, this festive tonic is much needed. Please scroll down and adopt your sigs, and wear them for the duration of the festive period.

Without further ado, I present to you the Sig Partnerships....

Holypil and Twenty Five

Danta and THRILLHO

Danta's Sig for THRILLHO:

THRILLHO's Sig for Danta:

Get a load of this.

So, Dan right, he doesnt post in the same kind of circles as me so I dont know the guy too well. I do know that Im pretty sure he likes Community, so theres a subtle reference to that in there, and I know that hes off to Prague next month so theres some Prague in there too. I could have added more but I didnt want to overcook it, so here we are.

I know, right?

Somebody Else's Presents and Raxmus

SEP's Sig for Raxmus:

A Yule log, and there's the grumpy muppets guy sat on top.

Lucien's Sig for Lionel Joseph:

JesusChristalmers and Sparkleman

JesusChristalmer's Sig for Sparkleman:

The worst ever sig I've made but god damn it reeks of Christmas Cheer!

Sparkleman's Sig for JesusChristalmer:

Wedgie and Frankincense

Wedgie's Sig for Frankincense:

Frankincense's Sig for Wedgie:

Man, I need to get better at Photoshop. There's not much of a backstory for this one, I haven't had much of a chance to think about the meaning behind it. I'm sorry, Wedgie. The concept worked better in my head, as it always does.

It's a whole load of carol singers that just happen to be some of Wedgie's favourite film stars, there's Keith "Cheggers" Chegwin, Zac Efron, the woman from The Umbrellas of Cherbourg and Nicholas bleeding Cage, and they're all here to sing carols to your cartoon christmas tree.

Alvin Flummux and Christmas Crackerrkal

Alvin's Sig for Christmas Crackerrkal:

I did a spot of digging on Christmas Crackerrkal, and found that, other than having a username, he also has a blog. So, nosy bastard that I am, I had a look in there for some inspiration. Well! WELL! What I found was moist and interesting. But other than all that, I also found out that he has a swanky new Nexus 7 phone, and that he got married earlier in the year and had a lovely honeymoon in Italy. Since it's Christmas time, nearly year's end, I wanted to do a nice little 2012 Retrospective for my man Errk, so as you can see, Christmas Crackurkel is holding a Nexus 7 in front of the upside down mountains of oɯoɔ ǝʞɐן, there's a heart smybolizing his love for stripes, and a Christmassy tree and presents are trying to get in on the action too (somewhat unsuccessfully I might add). Then, Christmas Crackurkel wishes us all a merry Christmas and hugs and kisses us all.

Because he's like that.

Anyway, I hope he likes it and MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE.

Christmas Crackerrkal's Sig for Alvin:

Advent7 and kommissarbaubles

Advent7's Sig for kommissar:

kommissar's Sig for Advent7:

Harmanta Claus and Turboggan

Harmanta Claus's Sig for Turboggan:

Boom.

Turboman's a Boro fan and it's Christmas. Thought combining the two would be the best way to go about this. Also his gamertag is MarvinEmnes9 (and I don't know any other Boro players really).

Turboggan's Sig for Harmanta Claus:

My first though on seeing harman was Chesterfield. In particular the goal that never was, or was it?
Then I did a bit of searching, and was pleased to discover that he was a fan of crash team racing and spiderman
Spidey wasn't happy about sharing the sig with crash though and started a snowball fight

Have a great Christmas mate!

Delusiblitzen and SpaceJebus

Delusi's Sig for Jebus:

Jebus's Sig for Delusi:

Brief thoughts, I didn't have long to work on a sig so I went with my first thought which was to incorporate images that would make up his user name 'Del', 'Uzi' (close enough right ) and 'Beta' on a wrapping paper background. Christmas them up a little with tinsel and stuff then get a Christmas font for the message, however Gimp wouldn't work with the new font so had to go with a basic font. Added a Christmas tree and presents and as he had Claptrap in his current sig, a Santa-hatted Claptrap putting on the star as the final touch. That really wasn't brief and probably more explanation than was needed, ah well!

PsychicSykes and Iceman

Sykes's Sig for Iceman:

Anyone who has seen Jamcc post much knows one thing above all others. Jamcc loves Kimi Raikkonnen, loves him like his own flesh and blood, loves him as much as a man can love another without some sort of civil partnership or restraining order being involved. (Although I'm not too sure on the second one of those...) So in keeping with this I chose to make Kimi the centrepiece of his sig, because the idea of snowmen isn't that far away from that of the Iceman. The background is a portion of a "grunge" Finnish flag I found while googling with a few effects applied and the words at the bottom are what a translator informs me Merry Christmas is in Finnish. Hope you like it!

Iceman's Sig for Sykes:

So, as usual, I went for a rather obvious and one-dimensional MO; this time the psychic (/psycho) route. Just like my sig I did for Seven in the last sig swap, it ended in a rather dark theme - a psychic Santa using his filthy mind tricks into fooling an innocent family into accepting his gooseberry fool presents - but I quite like the result. Hopefully Sykes likes it too, the dirty Argie-supporting scumbag.

As usual I used Paint.NET. Allows n00bs like me to create some half-decent stuff.

Thanks and see you next year!

Thanks Lewis. Time to say bye to the dildo.

Chritmas

...And MCN's sig for Irocixar :lol:

Fantastic stuff. Like how mine and Wedgie's were both based on the same theme.

Cheers ~~Falsey~~ THRILLHO :wub:

Cheers, Jebus. Although, it might have been easier/funnier if you went by syllables (Del, Loo, Sea, Beta) next time.

Also, StayDead is a bad, bad man. :lol:

Nice one Christmas Crackerrkal, I'll wear it with the combination of dignity and pride I call Dignipride.

Errr.... thanks StayDead.

I'm loving mine, thanks Holypil :wub:

I just hope you like mine, I felt like I haven't done enough =(

Thanks to you too, the explanation was brilliant I shall also be wearing my son with pride

Cheers, Irocixar! I feel kinda guilty about the relatively poor quality of the one I made. I also forgot to write the little piece about my inspiration.

Danta wrote:Cheers ~~Falsey~~ THRILLHO

I'm certainly not going to read any of your posts anymore with that underneath them all.

Thanks for the sig Delusibeta

I wasn't 100% about going with the uzi but it seemed to work and I wanted to get in in last night. God knows how I would have fitted the sea into it though :lol:

Christmas Crackerrkal wrote:I shall also be wearing my son with pride
