Introduction:
This is a thread for those who desire a signature for their characters, yet lacking proper tools such as Photoshop to make a request to the friendly community. So that any voluntary artists who see the request will make one (Free of Charge) for the needy.
Possible F.A.Q.s
Why is this thread here?
To make the cRPG community on the forums a friendlier and healthier place for us to dwell on. Plus what the introduction stated.
Why are they 'free of charge'?
Well... chadz did cRPG 'free of charge', so... savvy?
Why should hard work be paid with nothing in return?
Again... Look at cRPG itself...
But chadz and his Donkey Team takes donations?
The artists would love to accept your in-game gold donations (However not required), though any real money transactions I'd suggest donate them to chadz and his Donkey Team (That's what I would suggest, don't know about other artists)
How do I join as a voluntary artist?
Simple, quote a request, finish the commission, and post the results with a happy face attached to it (Or twisted, doesn't matter). Then you're in!
Your style sucks, you're a homo and a my old friend, plus noob, too, can't I find a better one?
Well... Thanks for the constructive criticism. You can always go to this thread, [ Sticky ] Naurto12900 Signature Shop (http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,9077.0.html), since you pay for your service, I'm certain it'll come out more satisfactory than our free ones, eh?
TL;DR? Read this, copy it, paste it, fill it, and post it.
Request Form:
Name:
Faction:
Screenshot: (Please use spoilers or links to keep the thread clean! Also I suggest using the best quality settings while taking the screen shots to keep the outcome satisfactory)
Specific Requests: (Background, Theme Color, Font, Font Color, Style, Clan Banner, or anything in detail)
Useful Links:
Free Fonts Directory (http://www.photoshopsupport.com/resources/free-fonts.html) - photoshopsupport.com's suggested places for photoshop fonts.
To implement the new fonts you've got into photoshop, simply place the files into C:/WINDOWS/Fonts.
Virtual XP (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx) - If you have problems using photoshop in your Vista/Win 7 like I do, get a Virtual XP supported by Microsoft itself.
(Note that you will need to reinstall photoshop through either disc or USB Portables)
imgur (http://imgur.com) - Simple image sharer without any annoying registration or membership requirements! Been my favorite uploading place ever since imageshack requires the hosting sites to apply for it.
Disclaimer:
If you have a request:
Make sure you have posted most of the information to make the outcome satisfactory, we can't read minds, afterall! And not everyone wants their actual in-game character to be in their signatures.
Please don't rush the production, it may be from 5 hours to extended up to one week (Or never, actually) since we need our time to move our clumsy, rusty mouse and click over hundreds of times.
If you are a volunteer artist:
You do not ask for anything in return, if you wish to do so, make another thread with your commission conditions on it, just not here.
Special Thanks to:
(No spoiler this time, it's mandatory :twisted:)
chadz: For cRPG, duh.
Donkey Team: Item Unbalancing, Frozen Strategus, Flying Castle in the Sky maps, you name it!
Server Hosts/Hosting-Clans: For giving us a place to grind!
Volunteer Artists: To be recruited...
Post Script:
If anything is amiss (Request Form, Template, Sample, grammatical errors, or chadz' name), just notify me of my silliness, please.
And of course, any suggestions or constructive criticisms are completely welcome.
If something is off (Contrast, Brightness, etc..), your opinion is what helps us improve and hone our skills (This applies to me, don't know about others)!
