But we also have a few rules as usual:
% I'll only be accepting 3 requests at a time.
% I'm busy, and get to requests as soon as I can. Please don't nag me for
your request to be done. If you do I won't do it at all :l
% Please use MY request form and no-one elses.
% Please provide the images. Unless it's a Pokemon, and you just say the name
of the Pokemon. I will use standard Sugimori art. Otherwise, don't ask for an
image and not provide it.
% Post the phrase "PixieGlade" at the top of
your post to show you read the rules.
% Don't post requests if I say that they are closed... They're closed for a reason. If
you post requests when they're closed, they will be completly ignored.
% PROVIDE CREDIT!
% When posting and image please use tinypic or aquate, it is better for me.
% To provide credit to show that I made it, put this image underneath the banner I made for you ^^

~Image Archive~

The one annoying thing about this job is the images I have to deal with.
One will be too screen burnt, one will be too dark and hard to render, and so on.
Here is a little check list you can go through while picking your images for a
request. It'll make Berry's job a heck of a lot easier.
1. When I highlight the image with my mouse, in the background of the subject
a dark blue, or a light blue? (Dark blue means it has a transparent background
and it does not need to be rendered. Light blue means it has a white background
and has to be rendered.) Below are examples.
Dark Blue (Transparent - GOOD!) as opposed to Light Blue (White - BAD!)
2. Is my image clear?
3. Does the hosting site work most of the time? Will the link still be accessable after I post it?

That is basically it. I'm not saying I won't render, because I will, but you need to look for
images that don't have a dark background so I can see the outline of the subject clearly.

Here are some recommended websites that have great images.

http://www.pokebeach.com - They have images of every single Pokemon to date. Click
here for them. They also have easy-to-render trading card images
from the Pokemon TCG that are easy for me to render.
http://www.dafont.com/ - Here is where you chose your font.
^ Thanks Drift!

Request away!

About the Image Archive, it looks like you copied it from somewhere. Toungue

Welcome to the forums Berry! Big Grin

I can see that you deserve "newb" as a title rather than "n00b" since your post doesn't seem to contain any errors, good job with the proper syntax. Now for my request:

Banner Form:
Size (550x150=standard):
Image 1: None
Image 2 (optional): None
Image 3 (optional): None
Background (Colors, style, etc.): Between grey and black, it's up to you, I'd like a "digital" feeling.
Colour scheme: Black/grey and orange.
Border color: None.
Text: ETERNAL LEGACY
Other: Basically, I don't want a pokemon banner, a text banner rather, I'm going to use it for this spriting card project of mine.

Yes, I did "Copy" it, I just want you to know it is from a close friend on another forum.
Ok, I will have it done before tomorrow ^^

Palmer · 04-07-2008 11:47 PM

Thanks!

It's an honor to be your first customer. You seem to have enough talent to be invited to Project Custom, Project Custom is a tournament with 45 contestants if I recall, you only join it by invite. All sorts of digital art are used here, even fan fics. Right now, the finals are going on, only 3 people left. I expect you to be invited in the next tournament seeing that your banners are simply superb, I haven't seen anything like them since I had my personal artist work for this forum game I had. Keep up the good work!

It is an honour to be invitied! I will be sure to attend =D
Might you point me in the direction of this Project?
Thank you!
EDIT: I found it! Are you allowed to invite me?

Palmer · 04-07-2008 11:56 PM

I never said I was inviting you, I don't own it, I was just saying that you have what it takes to be invited. Toungue

Aside from that, the tournament isn't over yet. Wait for the next one.

The 45 was a typo by the way, I meant fifteen, you can't have 45 best artists. Toungue

Oh, I see!
Well, thank you greatly for that Big Grin

By the way, which font do you like from here?
*Adds to Image Archive and banner form...*

Palmer · 04-08-2008 12:09 AM

I suppose this Varsity font will do. Big Grin

"ETERNAL LEGACY" is the text like I mentioned in my post. Big Grin

Do you like it?

Palmer · 04-08-2008 12:18 AM

Yes, I indeed do like it, but the font is small, could you make it more proportional to the banner size? It's much smaller an I expected, Toungue

Other than that, it's lovely!

Sure, here it is:

Still to small?

Palmer · 04-08-2008 12:26 AM

Yeah.

What I meant was near the actual size of the banner, you know, streched all the way? Big Grin

Sorry about being too picky.

Problem, My gimp is giving me troubles so I had to use paint...
[Image: Palmer3.PNG]

Sorry, I have to go now, I will try again layer Wink

How about now?

Palmer · 04-08-2008 12:40 AM

Perfect!

Despite the fact that you used paint, it's still pretty awesome. It's "Berry" good! Toungue
