signature

[mcotie]

should concept art pro's sign their work or not? Is this considered "amature" to sign your work, or should an artist treat this as any of his/her pieces and sign them?

Just trying to settle an agument. I figured this would be the best place to solve this issue.

well... i don't sign them - that's mainly because i don't have much to sign - i only have low rated stuff and studies - what to sign them for?
It would look pathetic to put a big C2003 Oblio :D on each crap i make.
Yet... i hope to be able to sign my stuff soon - meaning to be proud of what i make. I don't have a portfolio yet so... in the pianting/drawing scene - i don't exist.
I'm on vitamins though ;)
I don't mind seeing other's signatures.

I've noticed that some concept guys don't sign the stuff they do for others, however if you look in the art of star wars books, doug chiang does, and on feng's site he does, and you don't get much more professional than them.

If it is sketches and minor stuff,, I sign it and sign it big...

Major project or something speical,,,, I incorrperate my sig
into the art ... One would have to go looking for it

i usually try to incorporate a small signature in an area of the work where it isn't spot in the first place.

i write and therefore signate moronly small, so that's usually not a big problem. wait... i draw moronly small, too...

I guess it's what your signature is worth. If Monet signs something...even if it looks like trash it will still sell for millions. If I sign something...people will say...what the heck is that in the corner.
