Quote:Well at first I just wanted to have one, then it was "suggested" that the siggs be made smaller out of consideration. Then I saw your buttons, and tried variations on that, but I really liked Vivace's blended background. So I combined that with my City of Nuts character, and found a happy final... oh and then I had to center it. I only wish now I could make a 4 balloon linked one, but to do that would require some splicing and it would become too wide. I'd animate it, but then that would only annoy more people...Goodness, LJ. Your signature banner's undergone more transformations/reinventions than Madonna and David Bowie combined.
Yes I am a Gemini. -
Wait did he just allow 7 artists to do the "ultimate TA fan contest" ?

Quote:No offense to Enn Vee, who's been a terrific supporter, but I was referring to the wonderous, Gray Huntress.
Bahh it figures Ennvee would sneak in 10 commissions at the same time as my two... now I have to envy EnnVee.
Quote:References would have to be sent before the work can be done... unless LJ is now a psychic/empathand i'm sure money in advance doesn't hurt either (but may not be required).
Just send everything and Bobby will tell ya if he needs anything else
Plus, I plan to do 3 of these a day, so the turn around will be ultra quick. Faster than I normally work. Mostly because there will be no flatting, all the coloring will be done spontaneous like a real portrait. And portraiture is my strong point, so again this will be easier and faster for me to do.
Not that any of the work will be sloppy, just the difference of drawing an entire figure, say over my favorite part, the head. Which is how I always start anyway... My plan is to be inventive with the lighting, the colors, and if I can accomplish it the expression, which will depend on how the toon hits me... I will take into consideration the toon's origin, but I find when I interpret the piece, you get more of an original finish, as suppose to telling me make it look like Batman.
And at this price, I am not including a director's cut... it would only slow everything down. So please bear with me, I hope to do everyone justice.
And Ramen, CR is correct, send me an email with the screens, to my gmail account. Send payment ahead, I plan to make folders for all of these, of which I will pick out of order who goes that day. If you're buying two, you will get one on the round you're picked, and another, on another round... this is to be fair.
Plus if you are like the incredibly generous Gray Huntress who has bought 4 Mystery Guest slots of gift art, you never know who will be done that day. I won't be doing multiples of the same person the same day, but Gray has bought one of each of her 3 mains, and when I asked her why 2? She said cause she wanted a different expression of each...
I can do that. -
I have read it Enn Vee,
Christopher! Awesome, I will add you to the list. I just got an offer of 10 by my favorite new patron... actually she's been my good luck charm since I've come back, so I can't wait to begin these. -
The Offer
Click the link, and find out the ridiculously low price I am offering for a Head Shot (shoulders and neck up) for the next 100 people or characters to take me up on this...
Also, an extra 10 people will be getting an additional full figure toon for free, when I make my quota. SO for 10 of you, that means it's a 2 for 1 deal!
How can I afford to do this? I can't! I am absolutely crazy insane...
But seriously, part of this is so I can work more in Painter, and the other reason is I really want a new TV, and I want to tell the guy at Best Buy,
"Do you know how much spandex I had to draw to afford this?!!!"
Anyway, hope you want some art... this offer is good till it's done.

You have to save your Image file as a PNG, and of course select your background areas, and delete them out of the white, so that you see the checkered transparent background... this is for Photoshop if you use it.

Quote:Totally jealous! I want double 24s, but that's $500 I don't need to spend.Just picked up a nice Acer 22" widescreen (1680x1050) for my work system for about $169. The Viewsonic next to it (home system,) same size, was $350 when I bought it new a few years back. And I think the new one is nicer. (And not as deep - no cheapie speakers, for one.)

Quote:SO it seems you can make the Banner Image ANY size... and just click the link button in order to paste in the URL it can go too...I'll show off mine even though it wasn't my own creation. Cyphre makes these for SCORPIO members.
Though I have to bug him for the PSD so I can change it some so its not quite so tall. The rest he's done are on our site, Signature Banners.
How do you do the center image command? -

Still working on my buttons...
Bayani, how did you get 3 to load if we're only given 5 lines total in the signature box? -
The Flame Enchantress piece is beautiful.

Quote:I think their uploader isn't working, and as far as I know you need an offsite website to load a link with either the url or img tags.I can't get it to upload an image from disk or use a url. Seems to expect the url to begin with www...
I also use my blog's image links from Blogger.com. -
Yer gonna get a lot of haters Grae... the large signature use is verboten! Well not really, but I bet the low connection people will want to kill this thread and everyone in it, so with that in mind, here are all the ones I MADE just for me, not counting the 3 I made for other people! woooo hoooo...
And of course my own at the bottom... I know, I'm a banner *****... -

Beef Cake, nice animation on that banner... good thing I don't know how to make those, it would be on.
(insert 9 more intelligent things to talk about - here) and now my annoying signature... -

What I love about the COH community is you can reach out for the weirdest requests, and someone will always take you up on it in a heartbeat.
When the forums were still in limbo on the last day... I was fiending to get some Halloween salvage for my newest toon - Michael Moonwalker. Yes based on that person, I made the little animated Jackson 5 cartoon MJ - here:
but I wanted a new slot for my Billy Jean video MJ - here
So I put up a request on Deviant Art to COH players only, someone willing to give me the salvage or the 4 Million influence it would take on the Virtue server to get my new costume. I got a response in less than 2 minutes from TECH-STRIKER, who for his good deed was promised a piece of art of his main...
Click the image below to be linked to the full size:
.... here is my reference...
Anyway, like I said to him, this was only a one of a kind deal, but I had fun applying some of the new ink brushes I had made while the forums were down...
Sorry to the MJ haters, but I dig blasting his music, and running around screaming my sonic powers at mobs.
Also, with my Kinetic powers, I get to "Heal the World"... and I have a Rikti Monkey named "Soap Scum"!
I was going to call him Danger Russ, like the one I made on Triumph, but on Virtue it was taken. Oh well... thanks for looking.
