Guidelines— 75 Post Minimum
Consider this the one-and-only fee for your sig. We require that you have at least 75 posts to prevent requests for sigs from people who only stay here long enough to make the "please" and "thank-you" posts as we would like our work to be displayed here, on the MTGS boards. We're not trying to be snobby; we just enjoy seeing the fruits of our labor.
Sig Types
Both of us are adept at a number of sig styles and are both rather artistically inclined, so we would like to avoid doing "blend picture X with picture X with picture X with picture X and put N text on it" type sigs. Usually, having one stock image as a focal point is optimal, but that is not a hard-and-fast rule. Please do try to keep the number of pictures you want in the sig to a minimum, however, as even just two of them can make the sig cluttered and messy.
Sig Sizes
We prefer to work with the 450×150px maximum dimensions, but may crop to smaller than that if we feel it benefits the look of the sig or if specially requested. It is mutual between us, however, that the 600×100px dimension limit is very constricting and basically does not allow for sigs with as much visual appeal as the 450×150px ones. If you would like something other than 450×150px, let us know in your request post.
Stock Images
If your request deals with MtG art, it's likely we have some high-resolution art available for it or can get some. If you have a non-MtG art request, please supply the art either via attaching it to your post or with a link.
Avatars
At this time, avatars are not offered here. This may change (possibly even very soon) but for now, we just do sigs.
Respect
Please be respectful when placing a request. That means we would like you to be clear and concise, using as much correct English as is possible, and please...please!...don't post the request in multiple shops. That's very bad form.
Also, please be patient with us. We are only human, afterall, and do have lives beyond sig-making. It also takes time to make a good sig, so take that into account as well. If your request is taking an inordinant amount of time to complete, pm the artist who offered to do it and we'll respond post-haste.
Credit
Please credit the artist who worked on your sig. All it takes is a "Made by..." line under the image, really. We politely ask that you consider going the extra mile and linking back to this shop somewhere in your sig as well. It would be greatly appreciated by both of us.
If you would like a specific artist to fill your request, please make a note of it in your request post. If at all possible, that artist will fill your request as soon as possible.
[ We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone if we feel they have violated one or more of the above guidelines. ]

Note—
I will be moving to a new appartment soon (sometime in September at the latest), and my internet availability will become severely limited at that time, so unless something changes, I will be leaving this shop when I move. Just a heads-up.
Woo, you two are the two most talented sig makers on this site, imo, and it's great to see you both have a shop. If I ever need a new banner and can't be bothered making my own I'll definitely come here.

Sounds like Ace needs a sexy new banner from either of the the two most talented sig-makers here.
450x150 would be ideal. Mind using either of the these images:
Woah, the two most talented artists of MTGS teaming up for a shop? I gotta get my request in before this place explodes with activity! So here it is:
I would like this picture, but with the face from Crovax the Cursed over the face of the goat, and with this picture on top of both the person's and the Crovax head. Somewhere around it, I'd like the words: DAMN CURSES!!!
I realize that that might be a bit much, but I'd like to have some sort of sig that shows both Crovax and the Cubs as having a curse on them. If it is too much, just let me know and I'll try to think of a simpler one. Thanks much, and many wishes of success upon your store!

Hey, I came up with a request. It is kind of an odd request, so its fine if you refuse it.
I want it to be 450x150.
On that one, I just want the biggest one in there.
(Just the circle, not that brown background stuff.)
And on the bottom right I would like it to say, "Lock Down"
I'm in no hurry, doesn't matter who does it. Thank you for your time.

I'll take this one. I can work on it tomorrow, probably.
Hey guys, just thought I'd stop by and wish you good luck. IMO, you two are the best photoshoppers on MTGS.
I'm really too lazy to make a new sig at the time. Can I get a sig of a Mindslaver, with possibly a dark background, like black and silver? Can there bo no text on the banner, too? That would rock. I appreciate your work, guys.
Maybe you'll get Archenemy cards in your Duel Decks From The Vault: Deck Builder's Toolkit All-Foil Duels of the Planeswalkers Downloadable Content Expansion (Tactics Edition).
After browsing your shops amazing work I'd like to request a Sig of Yawgmoth's Will; preferably by CharlieD in the style of the Urza's Rage example sig (with the focus here being on the figure in the center of Yawgmoth's Will). But please feel free to take as much artistic freedom as you desire in creating the Sig!

While I won't be taking this one (unless CharlieD for some reason simply cannot), I thought I'd post this in case Charlie didn't have it...it's the highest resolution image of Yawgmoth's Will that I could find. It's the HQ scan from MWS.
I'll cut it out, too, unless Charlie beats me to it.
<EDIT> — Finished the cut...hopefully you can make use of it. If not, I'll host it over in the Partially Transparent Art thread anywhoo...someone will be able to use it eventually.
Thanks man! Your work looks awesome and I'm sure I'll be coming back here for future Sigs and Avvis (I can hope, right ;)), I just want to see this particular piece done in CharlieD's style.

No prob. I just thought I'd help out in any way I can since I have a bunch of free time at the moment. I completely understand wanting something in a particular style.

Woo, thanks a ton. I'll get right on this sig now!
Hey, I've been thinking about my sig lately. Would it be possible to edit it just a bit and take out the cap that's on the donkey/Crovax there? Thanks a TON!

That should be an easy fix, but my partner in crime seems to have his attention elsewhere... shouldn't really have taken this long. I'll poke him and see what happens.

"Elsewhere" translates into "Assignments and schoolwork". Sorry for the delay. I'll try to have it done sometime soon.

Yeah, I will probably come up with a request for this shop sooner or later.
Until then, good luck guys, I'm sure you will have a lot of requests.
