Re: Veph's Graphics - Avatars & Signatures
I have a request! *raises hand in the air*
I'd really like a Carrion signature, perferably with the Sons of Hodir's Fortress as the background with Carrion dressed in whatever gear you see fit, as long as he's wearing a noble's monocle and has a true-aim rifle handy. I would like for his wolf and boar to be present in the signature, the wof being a brown mulgore wolf and the boar being a brown armored boar. Everything else..up to your design!
Many thanks in advance..*nods*

Re: Veph's Graphics - Avatars & Signatures
I love it!!! Now for a noob question: I can't use a .bmp file for my avatar (which is what it is when I right-click and "save as"), and when I copy/paste into Paint and save it as a .jpg, it comes out looking grainy. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?Vephriel wrote: Rhyela:

Thanks again!

Re: Veph's Graphics - Avatars & Signatures
Hehe, yes I did do a 'trick' for the Gondria. x)
The normal Gondria model just does not work for these sorts of graphics (as I'm sure you know), so I was brainstorming ways to get around it.
What I did was took the blue frostsaber model and changed the hue to purple. If you're wondering why I didn't just go with the purple frostsaber, it's because the purple one has white stripes, but Gondria's stripes are dark. So the blue one worked better as a base. I added the glowy green eyes with the airbrush tool, and then when I put him in the picture I changed the opacity to around 50%.
EDIT: And that's very odd Rhyela. It's a .png image, so I don't know why it's becoming a .bmp for you. o.O When you save it in Paint, do you have an option to save as a .png? That's the format I use for all of my graphics, and Paint should have that available.

Re: Veph's Graphics - Avatars & Signatures
I don't mess with this stuff very often so I didn't know that .png was a valid avatar type...thing (thought it was .jpg only). So I copied, pasted into Paint and saved it as a .png. I got it now!!!

Re: Veph's Graphics - Avatars & Signatures
Oh good! ^_^ Yeah, PNGs are my preferred image formats. JPEGs are horrible due to the quality loss and graininess, GIFs don't keep the colour palette intact most of the time, but PNGs are small in size and preserve quality efficiently.

Zuilu:
So glad I messed up the first time and had to redo it, because this turned out much better!
Carrion:
Here's what I came up with. Just let me know if it's not to your liking and I can redo it.

On another note, not to sound picky or anything...but his face looks a little...odd...and maybe more umm...-epic- boots? Something that screams "I'm a badass and I'm gonna stomp your face in"

Re: Veph's Graphics - Avatars & Signatures
@ Vephriel:
Hey, sugar cookie!
Could you do me a really, really big favor?
A friend of mine is playing 2 toons very often.
A troll shaman called Casaloki and a dwarf warrior called Turrun.
Can't you give it a try to make a signature for him with both toons on it?
Feel free to put together whatever you like. And, of course, no helmets, please!
I'd like to give it to him for use in his guilds forum.
@ Helio:
The green can't go away as you saved it as a JPG.
JPG is a very highly comprimated format that was developed for photos.
And, more important, you can't define a color as transparent with a JPPG.
Save it as PNG or GIF and the green will be gone!
*Waves his magic wand of knowledge around*

Re: Veph's Graphics - Avatars & Signatures
Karathyriel:
Of course! ^.^ I'll work on that tonight.
Helio:
Okies, I'll try repositioning Carrion when I get home tonight. I was having trouble getting a good pose that showed both the Monocle and the gun without hiding his hair/face too much. I agree that the monocle does make his face look a bit strange from a distance. I could maybe do just a closeup of him from the waist-up, then he wouldn't have boots though. Up to you. If you have something specific in mind, just let me know. Likewise with the boots, if you happen to know of a style that you want. Was everything else okay though? Let me know if you want any other changes while I'm at it.
And yes, as Karathyriel explained, you can't save a transparent image as a .JPEG. It'll look like poo. Keep it as a .PNG.

Re: Veph's Graphics - Avatars & Signatures
Went through the Model Viewer and I think this set-up looks best
Head : Noble's Monocle
Shoulder : Demon Stalker Shoulderguards
Chest : Demonstalker Harness
Belt: Belt of Biting Cold
Legs : Demon Stalker Greaves
Boots : Boots of Living Scale
Gloves : Demon Stalker Gauntlets
Yeah, everything else was great..I especially love the letter graphics.
