It probably goes without saying that I've been busy with it being Thanksgiving weekend. Request processing will begin again tomorrow.
In the mean time, I've been breaking in my new tablet and getting used to using it (which also means even better quality in your guys' stuff thanks to the precision). Here's a couple illustrations I've done so far trying to get used to it
Oh, and P.S. - I'll be upgrading to moderator here in the Avatar & Sig Shops in the next day or so in addition to my duties in Magic General

Congratulations on the upgrade, Xen!
Those illustrations are looking pretty sharp. Can't wait to see what else you turn out with the new equipment.
Hey Xen, are you still willing to try that update to my avatar using your mana symbols? I'd really like to see what you could do.
No rush on it, of course. I'm pretty happy with the one I have. It was nominated for Best Avatar, after all.
I was actually looking into it a few days back. Question for you: Would you want it to be exactly like your current avatar just replacing the mana symbols? Or would you mind the same concept but with a different design approach?
Hi, sorry but can I make a small change to my request? I'd just like to only words to be "Combo Elves" in a cool font. Thanks!
Oh, whoops and I didn't say the size. The biggest a signature can be please.
Not a problem at all. I had another unfortunately busy day today and I'm just now getting work done on Kaim and Caiaphas' requests, so I haven't quite gotten started on yours yet.
Also, here's my current work docket for everyone so no one worries they've been forgotten:
Work Docket:
01. Kaim (in progress)
02. Caiaphas (in progress)
03. Ace5301
04. BungaloBiscuitElf
05. Gabgabdevo
06. iron tarkus
Once I get time to sit down and work on them, it won't take long at all. I'll be trying to finish Kaim and Caiaphas tonight; possibly more depending

Same concept, approach the design how you want. You've shown your prowess well enough by now that I trust you to take whatever artistic liberties you see fit.

"[Screw] you and the green you ramped in on." - My EDH battle cry. If I had one. Which I don't.
i'm new to this so if I have got something wrong tell but can I ask If this is possible?
Request Type: signature
Size: biggest sig size (im new to this sorry)
Your Specific Request: Can you find something from dark souls look at the links bellow
Source Material: artorias Gwyn Gwynevere
Your request is already on his worksheet. Just wait for it being processed.
And generally, if people don't listen to you, double-posting is not a solution.
Oh, wow, this is great, Xen. Thanks so much! I'm really happy with how this turned out. The way you incorporated some of those arts together is really neat.
I just wanted to let all of you know to expect your banners, avatars and sigs by morning tomorrow. They'll be posted off and on tonight as I finish them up (Ace's sig and avatar are done other than some light touchups). Just started a new job this week and it's been rather crazy, but all of them are in progress.
Also just a reminder that the Sig Maker of the Year voting is up Thanks everyone for the nominations, but don't forget to go vote, too
I want to thank everyone that nominated and voted for me in the Forum Awards this year. The support means a lot to me and even though I've had to slow to a crawl because of getting things ready for the next chapter of my life, I still managed to come out of the awards with my first forum trophy thanks to you all.
Around mid to late January I'll be moving into my own place instead of my temporary situation, which will allow for a lot more steady production and the fast completion rate that I had when I opened up the shop here. I've had more than one offer by others who wished to help me run the shop, but I turned them down because I want the end result of this shop to have the same style and quality that I put into every request. This is sort of my brand on the forums, and it's thrilling to know how many primers are starting to pop up with banners I've done, and sigs or avatars as well.
I won't be stopping taking requests and regret when I can't make a target date on getting things done, but will continue to try to produce the best imagery I can.
Hello Xen, I haven't had a new banner of avatar in quite a long time so I figure where better than the shop of the Sig Maker of the Year?
Request Type: Signature & Avatar
Size: 450x150 for Signature
Your Specific Request: Would love something with Stoneforge Mystic and Umezawa's Jitte, as well as a couple of the Swords (Fire and Ice, Feast and Famine, etc) with the following quote fit in there somewhere:
"Is this a dagger which I see before me,
The handle toward my hand?"
Kinda going for a dark feel if that makes sense. Free reign on the avatar, but something that matches up nicely with the banner would be great.
I appreciate any work you may be able to do and am certainly not concerned with any kind of wait. Kudos to you, and congrats on the award

Congrats for the trophy Xen! You totally deserve it!
Don't worry about my request. I understand that Christmas is busy for everyone, so take your time I prefer a better work that arrives later, than a fast and not-so-awesome one.
Hey there, I like the look of your work and seeing how you are an award winner now and I really need a new signature and here I am.
I am huge pop music fan, especially of September (the singer in my avatar pic) and I want to incorporate one of my favorite lyrics of hers "Mind Over Matter... Music Over Mind" I'd like the "Mind Over Matter... " and "Music Over Mind" to be separated somehow (as you see fit).
I'd like the background to anything you'd like, as long is kind of soft and fantasy stylized in nature with a lot of purples and blacks (my favorite color combo) if possible.

LOL, tbh I didn't think of that. I was only thinking of the song.
Like I stated he can take creative liberties with the background just wanted the singer to be in it and kind of wanted it to stay with a soft/feminite feel to it. If he can pull that off with the magic card's artwork involved more power to him.
The Design: Temporal Mastery would be the centerpiece. The hourglass of the image would be fully horizontal, or nearly so. Through the tracery of the windows (but not through the hourglass) can be seen the image of a galaxy from space (I'll attach reference images. Feel free to use one, or to find one you think might be more appropriate.). Since the walls of the windows would normally fade into blackness, could you make it fade into the background image of the galaxy instead? (If it works out that way... I really don't know the process or how the image will fit, so I'll leave it up to you.) Text, in a font you feel is appropriate, would be the flavour text of Temporal Mastery: Time is a marvelous plaything
Please let me know if you have any questions, concerns, or would like clarification. I know it can be hard to turn someone's vision into reality, so please tell me if there's anything I can do to make it easier.
Thanks so much! I'm really looking forward to seeing your work!

I like this picture of September here: http://www.scandipop.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/PetraMarklundLambremix-e1350745650513.jpg and hope it can be in the image.

Any more questions please don't hesitate to ask
P.S. -- I'd like a Signature that is 600X100
And you're really not putting Mind Over Matter art in your sig?
