Thread: Red's Mount Silver Art Shop (Banners, Image Maps, Avatars, Oh My!)

Even a legend like Trainer Red needs a break from training once in a while. With my Photoshop skills, I shall make some things for you all.

Welcome, one and all, to Red's Mount Silver Art Shop!

The Basics:
1) The standard banner size is 570x160. If you want any larger, you gotta tell me.
2) I've pirated a lot over the years, so I can dig pretty deep. This means that I can usually find cool pictures or sprites or whatever for your banner. But, you can link me to certain pictures you want me to use.
3) Your banner will be a PNG file, whether it has a background or not (if you want transparency, please say so).
4) Credit isn't needed, would be appreciated though as it gets the word out kind of about my shop ^^
5) If you're not happy with your banner or want some changes, I'll gladly "refund" you by changing it to meet your wishes.
6) Please specify a topic for me to work on. Like mentioned before, give me pictures or sprites or what text you want, etc.
7) For the avatars, please make sure the image is in PNG file format. JPGs won't work because the file type is terrible for resizing.
8) Also, make sure the avatar doesn't exceed a size of 400x400

Order Form:

Topic (what the subject is):
Size: (if it's not the regular size): a x b (replace a and b with width and height respectively)
Materials: (give links to images, if you want text and what you want it to say, a certain style you saw somewhere and want to see replicated here)
Other: (these are like additional options, like transparency, certain effects you want, curved edges, filetype, etc.)
Image Map: (Yes or No. Ignore the following if "No")
-Links: The links you would like for your image map. Limit depends on the banner, but as a general guide, please request no more than 5. Please give me the actual link to whatever you want instead of naming it (i.e. Instead of saying Google, say Google, and etc.)
-Link color: (The color of your links)
-Link Placement: There are three options for this. Aligned Visible Bar (Links aligned horizontally. You can pick for your bar to have rounded edges.) backed by a visible bar, Aligned Non-Visible Bar (same as before, but it won't be backed by anything), or Un-Aligned No Bar (in no particular alignment, no bar type thing at all, just random (but placed so it looks good).
-Other: Miscellaneous options ONLY for your image map, custom settings, things you want, if you want the links as images or text, etc. Use this for custom things you want for your image map :D

So yeah, start requesting away!! I'll probably only handle 4-5 requests at a time. But I hope I can help to make your signatures bold and vivid.

Thanks again!

Hello!
Topic:Persian
Size:A bit smaller then the regular size I guess
Materials:So any ole picture of persian is good. Preferably have it have pink ribbons or somethin. Text: OceanicWildfire
Other:Please make it look kinda vintage and old.

Topic: Gliscor
Size: 450x100
Materials: Background, and if you could replicate Innistrad's font here : LINK so that it would say "Sorin" (without the quotation marks) in the banner, then that would be totally cool.
Other: You can modify the background to make it look cooler (perhaps add a few blood splatters here and there? It's up to you :D). The general theme I'm trying to get across is Classic Gothic Horror, and portraying the Gliscor as a vampire. Oh and if you could make the banner's edges rounded, that will be awesome. :)

Please and Thank you!

@Morru Magnum; and @OceanicWildfire; your banners are done.

I couldn't find that font anywhere Morru, but I tried to make it look like the font. I think you'll like it though.
Oceanic, to me vintage is kind of like dark and dull and grayish, so that's what I tried to do. I made Persian stand out though.

Hope you guys like 'em!

Morru:


Oceanic:

Gliding Gliscors, that's totally incredible! :O It's exactly just the way I pictured it. Thanks a ton Red, and I'll be sure to credit you! :D

Thanks! I love it! Keep up the good work!

Thanks a bunch guys! I'm glad you're both happy.

Your work looks really great :).

By the way, you should always be saving as .png regardless of transparency because it is a higher quality file extension than .jpeg (saving as jpeg slightly blurs the image).

I see. Thanks :).

Also, I've expanded into doing image map banners, like my signature. Feel free to start placing orders :D.

What would be the order form for one of these?

Sorry to bother you,but could you please do me a banner with the following?:
Preview Page
And the text: Just My name, and can you maybe make my name multicoloured?

Yes, thanks for pointing that out. The Image Map order form has been added under the order form spoiler. I should have samples up by tomorrow :D.

@Totodile2001; I'd appreciate some more details. :/ That's kind of hard to work with.

Ok! Thanks!


Topic: (what the subject is):Cute pokemon?
Size:540x150
Materials:Could I have you fetch me a Numel and a Audino for the banner. For the background:
Other: Two things, can it have rounded corners and could the numel be to the left and the Audino to the right? Oh and could the text be: Oceanic
Image Map:Yes
-Links My Profile My Blog My Fan Club (Without the underlines)
-Link color: What ever is visible on the background but red would be nice
-Link Placement: The third thing (I think) So like yours but without the little bar thing.

I'll get to both of your orders :). And thank you Totodile, for elaborating.
