That's right, Kimiko of SRB is opening a Graphics Request Shop, because if I don't have people telling me what to do with it, I waste my time in Photoshop doing making useless stuff. XD So I'll make stuff for others.

I make the following graphic items:
Avatars: The picture under your username.
Signatures: The pictures under your posts that can say your name or anything else you want it to.
Banners: The picture above what I am writing is a banner.
Buttons: Also knows as badges. Says things like "Join __" or "I am pro ___". It can say whatever, really.
Others: I can probably do whatever you need me to do, within reason.


1. Write neatly. Please.
2. Be nice to me. I like when people are nice. :3
3. Provide me with the pic you want. I have Avatar: TLA, Teen Titans, Naruto and Bleach pics under my belt (though with the later two I probably can't find a particular pic).
4. To prove to me that you've read these rules, please say the name of this shoppe in your post ("Find your way home")
5. USE THE FORM.
6. If my list of currently-working-ons is full, don't request. :D This helps us both. I'll hold maybe 6 at a time. more than one item for one person will count as two on the list.

Text: Sonic Rapid Board, SRB 2.0

Uh... crud, the other stuff I need doesn't fit in those catagories... ><; But it's really easy!! ^^; And, everyone would love you for doing it~~

If you haven't figured this out yet, I want a banner for the top... if you made this, I think I could handle the rest... I want it to look just like the top, only with red words and swooshes, Knuckles instead of Sonic, and red clouds as shown... think you can do it? If you can't it's okay. :)

Numbah One: Pishaw, BR-san, everyone already loves me. ;)
Numbah Two: Of course! I'd love to make an SRB 2.0 banner and set for teh board! Just post all that stuff you posted in the contest topic here so I can find it easily. ;P
Numbah 3: A swish, please? :3 I don't have one with me...

1. Darn, you're right! XD There goes my incentive! Foiled again! ;P
2. Okay!
~A new banner
~A new color scheme: pick out three colors of increasingly dark shade (or increasingly light shade, either way is the same) I'll pick these out right now and get back to you
~A main title bar to replace the blue-fades-to-checkerboard bar
~A sub-title bar to replace the fading bar below every post, containing the AIM buttons, etc. We just need to recolor the current one
~2 backgrounds to replace the clouds and the checkerboards checkerboards can stay
~New background(s) for posts
~New background for the quotes bar (All you have to do is make it red.)
3. Try this one. Third from the upper-left. Use the color from the Red Mountain and that'll be one of the three colors.

:bow: Seriously, thanks so much. Really, most important is the banner. I can take on the rest... But thanks so much!! :3
If you're interested, Kimi, I can add any skin you feel like making. SK&WS, Avatar:TLA, Naruto... but let's get the first one working first. ^_^

If I can possibly get line art down (I starting to get it), then I (or anyone else, really) can starting coloring SK&WS pics... so I'll start practicing more with that. ;) Soon, then.

And NO PROBLEM. Seriously. This is great. I'm almost done getting rid of the white with the banner right now... Then I'll add swirl and text!

And BR-san, what font did you use for SRB's banner? Hmmm? :3

>< Darn these fonts! Messin' me up today. It's called Sonic Title Font... hold on...
DANG! I can't find the place I downloaded it from. Oh well... a little spicin' up wouldn't hurt us!

http://www.clavis.ne.jp/~sonic/segasonic/act5/font.htm
Try one of these fonts, whichever seems most Knuckles-like to you! :D Try to keep it Sonic-related though, as there's others there.

Kimiko, AWESOME. :3 I'm gonna try to add a skin changer right this instant! You've inspired me!

Teh whiteness is gone. :3 Now Swirl.

Oh, and did you want a huge transparent-ish swirl behind Knux similar to Sonic's in our current banner? Cuz I'm not sure if I know how to-- nevermind, I know how. :3 If you DO want that, how big is it?

As for fonts from that site, I've picked a Knuckle-y one, but I may need instructions on downloading. I can't seem to understand how to do that part. :p

EDIT: SHould the swirl be made red? I'm sorry, I'm asking so many questions...

Yesh, the swirls should be made red, the same shade as the red in the Red Mountain swirl I linked to earlier. ^_^

I did want a large transparent swirl, but I don't know how big it is exactly. Use your best judgement? ^^;

As for fonts, download it to your desktop; extract all; then open up My Computer and go to the C Drive and find the Fonts folder-- I think it's in the WINDOWS folder-- and drag the font file inside! ^_^ That should work.


In other news... this skin changer ain't working... <.<; Mostly because I cannot save a text file as .txt. WTF?! >< GAH! Save as .txt, darn you!

:D Got it.

And don't worry, BR-san! Human vs Machine has always worked out in our favor! You'll get it! :3

EDIT: I have this so far. That's without swirls or text, just how its positioned. I'll put "SRB 2.0" on his fist. :p

:3 Very excellent, Kimiko. I do notice that Knux is a bit fuzzy from the resize... my iPhoto program can Enhance that and fix it, if you give me the resized Knux alone! ;D
A creative place to put it! I think it'll turn out excellently... Oh, and I assumed you'd try to put it in the black border like the one at the top... is that going to be possible? ^^;

Good news: I got it to work! :D
Bad news: Kind of. I need to open up a freewebs account and host the .txt files.
Worse news: Still no .txt files. :/
Good news: I'm not worried, because any one of you can make it .txt for me at any time.
Bad news: Geico has stopped the good news commercials, and so they're not funny anymore. Would I like to stand up to save money? Oh, my sides are splitting with laughter. <.<;

Boader? In Photoshop language, that would be the stroke tool, which I used in meh shoppe banner. ;) I shall. Right now I'm doin' CPoC's gift... it's an animation, so I have to do the effects on every single frame. X_X Oi.

That's a lot of good, bad, and worse, news, BR-san! Bottom line was a vitory... right? :/

Yes, very much so... for now, I may have discovered a way to do it through Yahoo... only, I need it in .txt!! Gr.

Well, it's not exactly a border; it's more like a square pic put into a curved rectangle autoshape, and then I thickened the autoshape's border. Can you do that in Photoshop? >_O

Going to bed soon... I can still enhance the Knux pic before I go if you wish...

thanks again, Kimi!!

I'll think I'll hit the sack, too. It's 4:30 right about now...


Resize Knux.
*yawn* G'ni-- ...G'morning. >.O I stayed up alllll night.

:D Woo! I'm excited about this! Hopefully I'll be able to get the new Old School skin set up today...

Yay for new skins! :D

A better version of that knuckles source pic

just in case a larger and already-cut-out pic can help out a bit.

Swirl has been added.

I don't wanna comaplin, but that was pretty complicated, putting that there. >.O Since I saved and closed the file last night, all layers were merged and I couldn't put the swirl between Knux and the background... so I had to duplicate the layer and erase the background on one and Kunx on the other... then put the swirl betwen THAT. I'm just glad it's done.

There's some white around the edges (I plan to fix that), but for the most part, I think it look pretty okay. I've gotta do text, now.

:3 It looks B.A.utiful, Kimeh-chan. ^_^ I hope GS likes this!
If it's easy to do, maybe move Knuckles and the swirl a little more to the right? Just a tad. ^_^ But he's really fine how he is if it's tough.

Please excuse me for that... I just watched two episodes of Monk. XD

^_^ I really do appreciate how much work you're putting into this Kimi! Thanks again!!

NO PROBLEM, BR-san! ;) Really.

Although, I'm not sure if I can move Knux... Probably not. :hs: Sorry. BUT! I've downloaded teh Knuckle-ish font (and a Japanese font for myself ;) Thanks for the site!) and I only need a few more questions answered...

1. Just like the text we have now, should I make the color get brighter as it gets closer to the swirl? Cuz I can totally do that for ya.
2. On the text, what color should the lines going around the letter be (like, the one we have now is yellow?). Black? Dark Red? Hmmm?

I found a REALLY easy way to do what took me so long before. X_X Magic wand tool gets rid of any selected area. DUH! That's how I got the second swirl on.

:D Now I am 100% sure that the skin changer works! ...I just need to make a skin that works now. ^^; Old School might be up tonight...

1. You mean the fade effect? Sure, go ahead! :D
2. Yellow could work, or perhaps another color to fit the whole effect it's going for. Use your best judgement. ;D

^_^ Thanks Kimi!

P: Can't see teh yellow, BR-san. Ah well, though, since I'm probably gonna use somethin' else. I think it would look weird with yellow, personally.

BTW, the font I picked has a weird deal with numbers (they're all inside arrows), so I'll use a different font for "SRB 2.0", probably something I already have.

EDIT: Here's more progress. That's without the stroke or fade effect. :D How's the font? And the SRB 2.0 position? Hm..?

EDIT 2: I realize how blurry it looks, but that's because I haven't blended the layers or saved it to the right file type.

:o Wow! It's great, Kimi! Nice font!
Hmm, actually I do have an opinion. ^^; Could you slide the big word logo (+swirl) over, so that the Sonic is above his fist and the Rapid is next to it? This'd leave a big empty space to the right, like our current one. Which kinda stinks, because that was a good place for the SRB 2.0; but maybe it'd go underneath his arm? Slanted the other way?
^_^ Truly excellent Kimi-chan. We definitely need a border for that excellent font, though, so it stands out, which leads me to...

Try this: Yellow actually doesn't look too bad. It's official, and I think it'd offset the general darkness of the pic nicely. Maybe we should give it a go?
The way I do that is with a glow effect, and then I make it opaque and reduce the size. But Photoshop might work differently...
Use your best judgement; it needs to look cool and be legible. ^_^

Oh-kay, I'll scootch it over then! It's your request, and the customer's always right! ;O

Ah, the yellow does in fact look like it would work. I'll certainly try it!

And yesh, Photoshop works differently, perhaps for the worst, really. It's kinda complicated. The boarder effect for words is called "Stroke" (how pleasent), and you have to merge and unmerge the layers to how work-in-progress. X_X But I usually find a way to do the same thing other programs do with it... and I'm not complaining or anything. ;3

Well...um...I kinda tryed that.

I colored in the pics Kimi drew of us(Or most of them) They came out looking pretty good, but possibly a professional should try them... I could show you them if you want to see how they turned out.

:o O rly, Coojie-kun? I'd be happy to see them! :D Please show usss!

Even more progress! It won't stop! :D I REALLY like this one. :D Any changes for SRB 2.0? I tried to make it look important.

Here they are imperfection and all!

0.0 Very nice, Coojie! Allow me to guide you on color schemes, however...

CR:
Shirt is the color you have for the cape.
Skirt is blue.
Cape is the color you have for the shirt.
Boots are correct.

BR:
CHoW is right XD
Rush's outfit is all blue, except the shirt under the over-shirt thingamajig. That's white. ANd it's like.... regular dark-ish blue.
And I think he's blonde. XD

Cojo:
100% perfect!

Joha:
The pants are a darker tan.
Shirt and shoes are black
Flower is white with red inside.
Tattoo on stomach is white.

HA:
You colored part of CR's skirt green XD

Kimi:
Pretty good! The pants should more "blue" and less "sky" blue, though ;)

Sama:
Pants are a darker tan, hair is a tad bit lighter that you have it. :3

But that's TERRIFIC, Coojie-kun! :D

YES. YESSS.

^That was exactly my reaction. I grinned and said, "YES. YESSS." when I saw that. With three "S"s.

Beautiful. Wonderful. LOVE the font. Love the yellow. It's beautiful. Two things:
1. The "SRB 2.0." It does look important; but I like how the right side has a space for clouds in both. So, maybe it could go under his arm if it'll fit, slanted this way / with the "SRB" above the "2.0" just like in the current banner? If not, maybe below his arm on the bottom of the frame, in one line as it is now, flat? ^_^
2. The border... may I suggest copy/pasting the current banner, using the Magic Wand on a high setting to delete everything in the middle of the black border, and then putting it overtop the banner you made? ;) If that doesn't work, some kind of similar border will work...

Cojo, we'd love to see those pics!! :D

Thanks again, Kimi!! :D

EDIT: Excellent coloring, Cojo!! :D Kimi's comments are on the shades you picked, which really isn't your fault at all; your skill in coloring them in nicely is excellent! B)

Actually, for CHoW, I always envisioned him wearing, like, a relaxed outfit with a Vader helmet on. Including a blue hawaiian shirt. XD But, that way makes me look more evil! >:3
Nope! Not a blonde! ;P

Like... thisss? ;) That's without the boarder.

I'll try that boarder adding technique, BR-san! ;)

Excellent suggestions Kimi. When I get back from my mission trip I will try and fix them.

Yeah, I didn't really have a clue on colors, so I looked at the old icons and guessed. -_-''

And the guesses are so GOOD, Coojie! :w00t: Seriously. Good job!

Perhaps, after your trip of course, if you'd be interested in coloring teh SK&WS Skin banner pic I'll draw... Hm..? It'd be a huge help, and you'd be POPULAR!

*breaks into song*
Popular!
You're gonna be Pop-u-U-u-lar!
It's not about Aptitude!
It's the way you're viewed~
SO it's VERy shrwed to be...
Very, very, popular, like
ME!

:p

B) :yes:

Knuckles skin, here we come!

*breakdances to Kimi's song*

If you have trouble with the border, Kimiko, just post a high quality picture (i.e. anything but a GIF) of the finalized logo w/o the border, and I'll put on a rounded border myself (since I have fireworks, like BR had when he made the original, it's very easy for me to emulate that border).

And awesome coloring job, Cojo!

Popular?

I"M IN!

Where do I sign-up? I want to be popular! And get a catchy theme song!

Well, using BR's technique, I'm not have any problems persay, but if you can do it easily over me doing it in a difficult complicated way, then please do! :D

But... a GIF file is the only way a pic comes up clearly on mine... let's see...

Is PNG good? It's clear for me.

EDIT: For instant popularity, do the following:
1. Go and have fun on your trip. ;)
2. Answer your PMs when you return where you will recieve further popularity-ensuring instructions.
;)
Popular!

I added the yellow/gold in there to set off the border, since it was kind-of hidden without it. Also, outside the border is blue, since I don't know if that's the color it should be, or not.

:w00t: YAYS! Banner is-- if BR likes it-- complete!

:D BEAUTIFUL! ^_^ *sniff* So... great...

And skins are so easy to add now! >:3 Muhahah!

Although... ^^; Could I see how it looks without the yellow border, DP? Is that easy to do?

Tommorrow I'll do some more work on this skin, make up the color scheme. Then all that's left is a recolor or two and we're all set! :D Once the banner is done, the skin is pretty much too.

...Also, I need to figure out how to make it switch the banners when they switch skins... that might help... X_X; I know it's definitely possible! Just workin' out the details...

BEAUTIFUL work, guys. ;D This skin should be working by Monday night. Next: SK&WS skin... and then... whatever Kimi wants! :LOL:
Does anybody have suggestions for skins?

XD I'm drawing out some ideas for teh SK&WS skin banner, which I'll probably have done by Coojie's return, since he's "metaphorically" made a deal with the devil, and by "devil" I mean "Robot Devil" and by "metaphorically", I mean "get your coat." :p Bender quotes!

Anyway, Coojie-kun has (I think?) agreed to do lineart and coloring for SK&WS pics, which'll be the pic I use for the next banner for teh next skin. ;) Go~o Coojie!

I agreed to do what now? Kill all the humans? Well alright, sounds like a plan...

Yep. Cojo will color any pics you want me to do Kimi-chan.

XD Well, if you HAPPEN to kill all humans while you're at it...

Anyway, BR-san! If you have any other Font download sites where I might find a good font for Teh City Skin... I could use it. ;)
