¡Ay Caramba!
Greetings and welcome to my graphics thread!
I began teaching myself to make graphics a few years ago, and now it's become one of my favorite hobbies. I make everything from profile banners to pet banners to avatars. So why not take a look, and if you like what you see, order a little something!
READ THE ENTIRE FIRST POST YO. It won't take up (too) much of your time, and it will answer a lot of the questions you might have at a later date. :)
Examples:These are all pretty old seeing as I haven't made many graphics over the school year, but I tried to choose examples that are close to my current style. I don't have a whole lot of examples in certain sizes/categories. Hopefully you can still get a general feel though.      :::::::::::::::   :::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::  Not interested?Thanks for looking!Interested?Read on!You can place in order by filling out a form, or just by giving a deion.If you'd like some guidance, just use the form below and replace the [italics] with your own specifications. If you only have a few things to specify, just write something along the lines of "Up to you." If a question doesn't apply to your order, put "N/A."¡AY CARAMBA! GRAPHICS FORMWhat type of graphic would you like?::[Profile Banner, Signature, Pet Banner, Avatar, Button, etc.]Size?::[This can be relative, or given in pixels x pixels format.]Shape?::[Rectangle, Rounded Rectangle, Abstract, Cutouts, etc.]Color Scheme?::[List color names, hex codes, or link to a color palette.]Theme?::[Grunge, Floral, Smooth, Winter, Mysterious, etc.]Main Text?::[Such as a pet name, username, ti
tle, phrase, whatever needs to stand out.]Subtext?::[A deion, quote, lyrics, list, collection of adjectives, etc.]Images?::[If not an official Rescreatu image, please provide a direct link. Transparent backgrounds preferred. You must own the image or have permission to use it.]Fonts?::[Either font styles or specific fonts. If specific, must be found on dafont.com - provide a link.]Animation?::[I animate mainly text. See the pricing section for details.]Anything else?::[If I didn't mention something you want, tell me here!]Would you like a base price estimate?::[If you're not sure where your order falls on my pricing system, ask for a base price estimate. Further explanation below.]If you'd rather give me more creative freedom, or can describe your order better than a form can, just leave a little blurb with as much information as needed. Just make sure you're as clear as possible if you're in search of something specific. If it helps, use the form as a guide. Make sure to mention if you'd like a base price estimate. (See last item in form.):::::::::::Pricing:I price using base prices: basically the minimum I will accept for a certain type of graphic. If you're satisfied with your order, feel free to pay as much as you think it is worth. The general rule is that bigger means more expensive, but keep in mind that complex/specific orders are usually the most difficult to make.TYPE :: BASE PRICEProfile Banner :: 500kPet Banner :: 400kShowroom/Shop Banner :: 400kSignature :: 300kThread/Profile Header :: 200kPet Strip :: 150kAvatar/Button :: 150kIf you're not sure which category your order falls into, just ask!Animation:
I animated mainly text: fading, flashing, shining, spelling, etc. I'll do a few other things, like fading in images, but I don't make pets bl
ink or wave or frolic across the background. (Unless you're willing to pay some serious tu. ;o)Here's the basic breakdown for animation difficulty levels and pricing. Again, if you're not sure what category your animation falls into, just ask!Basic :: e.g. flashing in and out of 1 or 2 items | ~1-10 framesModerate :: e.g. fading in and out of or between 1 or 2 items | ~10-25 framesDifficult :: e.g. shine through text, simple letter by letter, or a combo of basic/moderate animations | ~25-50 framesRidiculous :: e.g. insane combos of other animations, pixel by pixel filling, lots of fade-betweens | ~50+ framesTYPE :: BASE SURCHARGEBasic :: +50kModerate :: +100kDifficult :: +200kRidiculous :: +500k
I DO take things other than tu, such as art trades, beans, dye kits, some pets...just throw it out there and see if we can make a deal. If you have something expensive, you might use it to buy a pack of banners. Who knows. Unlike tu though, it depends upon what I'm looking for.
::::::::::::::
FAQ:
Q: Should I pay before or after I receive my order?
A: I prefer that you pay afterwards, so that you pay for what you see.
Q: How do I pick up my order?
A: I will rmail your completed order to you unless you ask for it to be received otherwise.
Q: How long will I have to wait for my order?
A: Honestly, it could be anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks, depending upon many things. These include, but are not limited to, a long waiting list and the unpredictability of real life. Keep an eye on the waiting list to see how close I am to your order. I promise I'll get there as quickly as I can.
Q: Can I cancel my order?
A: You can cancel your order so long as you are not in the top slot on the waiting list. I'd be bummed to work hard at finishing the top order on the list, then find that it had been canceled. Otherwise, cancellation is no problem. :)
Q: What program(s) do you use to make these?
A: I primarily use Paint.NET for graphics, with a few plugins. I use a simple external program, unFreez, for animation. If I ever need to do something handwritten or hand-drawn, I use PSE9. (The first two are free programs, and I highly recommend them if you want to start learning the trade.)
A quick note:
Some of you might know that I can also code. I'm not offering general commissions right now, but if you have a really nice bribe, feel free to rmail me. Maybe we can work something out. For examples, look at Rainy's or Lyrical's profile.
:::::::::::::::
Well, I think that just about covers everything. I'm sure I'll remember something else before too long.
Thanks for visiting
¡Ay Caramba!

I'll take 10 orders at a time.
That's 10 graphics, not 10 customers. So if someone orders 3 banners, they take up three slots.
Orders will be delivered by rmail.

Color Scheme?::[List color names, hex codes, or link to a color palette.] - Black and Aqua Blue.

Putting you on the list Bob, and I'll get that to you soon. :)
Would you like all the fonts Times New Roman, or is a little variation okay?

Um, scratch that. Do you think you could put the font as chiller?

Would you be okay if I used that just for the main text? And used something that looks better small for the subtext? Especially with the lengthy subtext, that will probably look best.
