uh... Crap. I was trying to reply to the person above you, Schnoodledorfer.
He's linked his dragons to a rickroll...
I got you by accident, since this forum has the reply buttons in a different position than the ones I usually frequent. Sorry!

Edit: V1 of the sig.

Feel free to suggest improvements!

Damn! You've got some talent!

The only things I noticed are that Richards eyes should be yellow and I had trouble figuring out what the shoes were. Lar always showed the sole -- maybe that would help (See page 104. Maybe they could be more yellow and they would seem to be part of the clothing that way.

I couldn't have done anything like that.

well I am thinking of making other sigs too... Give me your favorite comic strip of richard and I will try to make it into a sig for ya...

Or whatever really. I wouldn't say I am a master sig maker, but I do enjoy doing it. It is my candy if you will...


OH, and CLICK ON SCHNOODLEDORFER'S DRAGONS!!! IT IS ABSOLUTELY RELEVANT TO THIS THREAD... MORE THAN YOU KNOW!

EDIT: Oh, and hey your sig is a little large... you may want to make it smaller to keep it...

Well I know this isnt new, I just find it interesting that people can find such horrible things funny (and Im not excluding myself ). And I think Tom and Jerry isnt quite the same thing, since you always know that no matter what happens to them, in the next scene its like it never happened. Here we're laughing at people actually getting killed or hurt, even if its only in a comic.

Ummm... I swear I have seen the same character model a couple of times of random civilians. Also, I can see your reasoning, but I must say that I think it is rather awkward because we see them die just like we've seen cartoon characters die. Are we ultimately going to see Richard take over the world? Probably not. Unless of course it is like the end of the series...

So I mean it is awkward to laugh at other "peoples" expense, but at the same time there are people that do that about people in real life and weirder...

Also, war is a problem people don't seem to incorporate into these things...

also the fact that we are seeing actual people dying kind of makes me giggle... We are seeing fictional 2D images die that have no impact on our lives...

Ah. The secret is that I haven't actually got any talent at drawing, hehe.

The picture of Richard was taken from one of the shirts, namely this one:
Little Richard Goes Fwoosh

However, that's obviously somewhat different from what I've got in the sig - The effects, background, and so on are my additions done in Photoshop.

Edit:
How's this for V2?

Edit to Edit: toned down the yellow of the shoes slightly.

I don't want to get into a long discussion about it because it's off the subject, but humor is how we deal with life's problems without going crazy. There really is death in the world. It's scary. Not only will we die eventually, but our friends and family members will die, too. So we find ways to laugh about it the same way we find ways to laugh about other things.

To put Richard into context: The rescuers at the World Trade Center were cracking jokes about the people falling past the windows. They need to do stuff like that to keep functioning and avoid cracking up on the job. Another example: The Darwin Awards website.

So it's OK to enjoy laughing at what Richard does. What's not OK is to laugh at a real person's misfortune in a cruel or careless way.

Ap' anon is correct. I changed the links in the sig. The original website was a bit obnoxious, I have to admit. EDIT: [post=319655]Just make sure you don't have a cat near the monitor![/post]

@Lagren: I really like v2. Just so I'm not misleading, I'm not really into banners in my own sig, though.

Thank you very much!

Edit to avoid Double Post:
Ouch. His cat went and clawed his screen off?
Still, I remain a cat person.

Still it is slightly too tall Lagren... Read again the sig restrictions.

Mine was taken away, but I managed to composite it so I could have it all

The dimensions "required" Are 125 pixels tall and 600 wide... The exact size mine is now...

I've gone and done it again...

Because I've have a bad eyesight week, I can't draw like I normally do to vent my Richard-inspiration, thus I have been forced to use other mediums. I broke out the super Sculpey and there's a 6-8 inch figurine in the making. Technically, it's a commission, so I won't get to keep it...

Why am I telling you this? I've no idea. Would it be illegal to sell a Richard sculpture to someone else? It's technically my artistic ingenuity I'm selling...curses!

Well, pictures will be added to the fanart section soon. In the meantime...

I think I agree with the dark humour bit...if we can't laugh at the morbidity of death, then death is just something to be feared and dreaded. Death in reality is less scary when you find it funny. Everyone knows there's a part of us that goes 'Well, that sucks for that guy...'. But we're not made of stone. Yeah, Richard slaughters innocents, and is evil, and it's all a very, very terrible thing...if you take it seriously. We don't, of course. It's a comic...

Now I'm off to pound some clay into submission. DEATH TO CLAY!!

What do you guys think of my new Sig?

That's a REALLY cool sig. Love it! Richard must be proud!

Yes, well, it may be strange to say this, but we actually have lives outside of LFG once in a while But I assure you, no-one has more devotion payed to them but Richard.

Speaking of, I actually had a dream about him the other night, except he was at my house eaing dinner. It kinda scared me a little...


Ha, we still exist, don't you worry.

OH, and, anyone who wishes to join, there's a sig at the beginning of the thread, or you could just make your own, OR PM either me or Blazing Swords, and we'll get you in

Was marinara involved? o.o

On the topic of dreams, I had a dream this morning about Richard...

He was shopping for birthday presents (for Benny, I guess) with Krunch at a small supermarket.
They left with a box, some red paint, and a balloon with a smiley face on it. Richard messed up painting on the box, but Krunch fixed it.

And somewhere in there, while saving two islands of blue elves from a flood by turning their children into stones, there was an epic scene of Cale and Richard riding an elevator. They weren't doing anything, but looked rather pissed and Richard broke a pencil he was carrying for whatever reason by clenching his fist.

That is, before Richard was frightened off by a tree frog with a yellow stomach.
Then came the swarms of them, sent by some evil spider-chick and all fallowing a nervous Richard.......



I don't see why I cant just have simple dreams where he's just eating dinner or something, like everybody else. >_>

Frogs and evil spider chicks?

Someone's been watching Soul Eater...

No actually, I think it might have been a consequence of falling asleep sick with Animal Planet on...

Or, I could just have jacked-up dreams naturally. :I

Damn! I had no idea that a pile of ashes could type! Even if it got reanimated somehow, I don't know how it could do it. I mean, even a relatively intact zombie isn't very coordinated so they would certainly have trouble typing. (Seriously, there are plenty of other posts that look a lot more like they were typed by zombies than that one. )

I'm not so sure that was just a dream that she had dinner with Richard, though. I could imagine the remains of iloverichard feasting on the brains of orphans with Richard, or something like that.

Then again, she could have been restored by Benny, I suppose. Still, I'd be careful. That talk about having a life outside of LFG is just freaky.

@iloverichard: Thanks for being a good sport about this and for clarifying that you're not trying to keep people out. The "if we okay it" in the first post kind of sounded like that might have been the case.


Why do think it was that simple? Sometimes orphans can be tough to catch. And it's not as if Richard can just fwoom them -- he likes his meat rare, not well done.

@Ap' anon: I like the banner.

hi, newbie, um.
The only reason I could stomach all the drama in this comic was because Richard was there to make fun of it all.
His morbid sence of humor almost matches my own. I like.

Interesting anecdote....

So I finally went back to work today, after an extended leave....there were a bunch of people doing inventory (I work at Home Depot), and it was really slow...naturally, I had Richard on the brain, since I'm in the middle of the sculpture...

So one of the inventory guys comes along (I didn't know who he was, so I said nothing)....and stops at one of the shelves, looks over at me and says, "Hi. I'm Richard."

I don't know why he said 'hi'. Maybe he was hitting on me...anyways...

....he must think I'm really weird, because I made this odd strangling sound trying not to laugh...three minutes later, a page comes over the store..."Richard, to the cutting desk for customer assistance. Richard, to the cutting desk."

It's not even called a cutting desk. Newbie on the paging system...but man...I think I've had a weird night.

Thank Richard you finally posted It was getting a little crowded in the waiting room for people waiting to join.

oh my gosh I heart Rich the Lich. He is just maniacal. I wouldn't normally love someone like that, but Richard is just too damn cute! Who wouldn't stay up until 2 o' clock in the morning watching Slaughter Your World over and over again on YouTube? I bet he would love to sing the alternate version of several christmas songs... I hearts the Richard

Well, that was about as fast as to be expected.

I figure it’s about time I made my presence known to this thread.

I’ve always had a weak spot for humorous evil, and I think I’ve gone nicely fan girl over Richard.

The fan base for Richard is never large enough no matter how large it is, Welcome =)

OMG YESYESYES I DEFINITELY WANT TO BE PART OF THIS GROUP

Oh, Richard, how much do I adore thee? Let me count the ways...
So...can I? I'm sure to make a song for Richard based off of something. I will also draw him, and love him, and get the Richard plush any chance I get. He has replaced my Twilight Princess wallpaper. omg what a surprise to all my friends. They thought I was on crack. "No," I replied. "I'm on Richard." And so they proceeded to formulate awkward visuals from that one statement, and so I have been dubbed the Richard lover. I still like Link, though. Gotta love the quiet, courageous elves. Hearts...

Hi! I'm just a gatecrasher, but all I think you need to do to officially join is to add a banner to your sig saying you are a member. But you can still post here even if you don't have one. You just have to love Richard. But who doesn't?

You aren't related to lill_richerd, by any chance, are you?

Umm, the copy and paste thing isn't working. How d'ya do that?

Right-click on the banner and then on "Copy Image URL" or "Copy Image Location" or something like that (depending on your browser). Then put that between image tags like this: You can use the "Insert Image" button to help you do that. That's Ap' anon's banner, BTW.

I was gonna say, is my banner the trademark Richard fan banner now? I thoughts the first one was lol...

Oh, that is the WOOT! Thank you so much! I've been trying for a few days! Now I will embed this code into my brain and never forget it!

My banner is multiplying... woot!!!

Well, I hate to tell you this, but iloverichard said:
I took that to mean that any old banner with Richard would do. Yours was the closest.

But RichardtheLich lover sure seems to like it, and yeah, you banner seems to be multiplying. With all those Richards on it, it almost seems exponential.

I wonder what the equation would be?

Richard the the power of x = fwoom! ?

No, Richard is:
Maniacal + Bloodthirsty + homicidal + pathological + funny + awesome + fwoosh + fangirl support + Sohmer + DeSouza = Richard
That's the equation. I love Richard with the burning intensity of a million suns. I bet if he were to serenade someone, he would sing this:
The stench in the air
The smell of the gore
The carnage far greater than any war
My legacy
Death becomes...me
I'll slaughter the world (for you)

When he sang Slaughter Your World, I said "do I have tear ducts?" His voice actor is just epic. He made me love Richard even more. I definitely have a weird taste in guys, but I don't believe anyone would have me any other way. I will continue to love Richard when I die. And then I'll be able to slaughter the world with him!

I'm beginning to think we need a special Maniacal Richard Lovers Club for you and lill_richerd. I suppose the mods would think the thread would be too similar to this one and that we're all maniacs, anyway, though.

That would be awesome. Richard deseerves the fandom. I just got JP Corwyn and my mom to listen to Slaughter Your World before they started playing DnD. I feel awesome. Needless to say, mom and Corwyn, who is legally blind, were amused by it. Sqwee.....

After some deep thought, I decided to post this here. It really doesn't fit anywhere else.

I know it's been done before, but I wanted to do it again.

Check It Out.

Schnoodledorfer, your signature is evil. Wonderfully evil, might I add. At least it wasn't anything else creepier than that relating to Richard. He sings that song so well...

Ok, here it is for all to behold... Inspired by Serhalu... the 12 Days of Richard.


(and yes the file size is too big to be used as a sig, but it is uber awesome in my opinion.)

and lo' and behold - it Loops!!!

And even if the mods get this one I have it in my photobucket still... You can't stop the signal...

Whether people use that in their sig or not, it is awesome! Good job. Even if I have to dig my mind out of the gutter to admit that.

Well, I gotta admit. That made me smile. True dedication to the Richard fandom...muaha...

I'm gonna steal it and put it as my background. Just a little bar in the middle of the screen so I can read it all the time. And now I'll be singing it, too. X_X

RICHARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to die JUST! so i can be reanimated by Richard OR even cooler be reincarnated as a Richard THEN ALL WILL FEAR ME AS I KILL EVRYONE AND EVERYTHNIG!!!!!!!!

Just see my sig.

yes, I love Richard

sry Serhalu for ripping your sig but thats just > all and exactly what i wanted to make as a signature myself

and 12 days of richard going to be my new screensaver i swear <3 it

That's funny. I might create songs for Richard myself...

No prob. That just means I gotta go make another one so the same sig doesn't clutter up the forums too much.

OK, someone quick grab that one so we can see what else she can come up with! I would be happy to (it's another good one), but I don't want to drop what I've already got.

Would anybody like a personal Richard sig to call their own? Just let me know which Richard and I will do my best to fix you one up. I bet you Serhalu is willing to do it do without people mooching (her?) sigs too...

I sure would. I can't make them half as pretty as Ap'anon, but I do love to make them.

And we've been through the gender thing, Ap'anon.
