The Big Pointy One Posted July 6, 2004 Report Posted July 6, 2004 Alright, as previously mentioned, I have considered opening a carnival booth to demonstrate my (lame) spriting skills! Sure, everyone and their dog can sprite, but I enjoy it! Exclamation mark! Anyways, I feel I have enough resources at my disposal now, so I think it's safe to say this booth is now.... open!!! Yes, that's right folks, step right up and be digitalized into the digital world of digital picture digital goodness!!! Digital! Exclamation Mark! For the low low price of only 5 geld I will make you, yes *YOU* into an avatar icon! You want more? Sure! For the same low low price, I'll make a banner! For 10 Geld, I'll make you a desktop, how sweet would that be!?! Pretty sweet, I think! Oh, yes, and for a limited time offer, get the Special Package Deal! Yes yes, I'll throw in the avatar icon, the banner, the wallpaper, and available only with this offer, a sprite sheet! That's right, for the insanely awesome price of 15 geld, you'll get the secret character sheet of... your character! For all your spriting fun! Filled with spritey-goodness! Oh yes! Digital! Here's the catch: I'll also recquire a rough character description, starting with physical, and you may indicate pose, background, text (depending on the piece(s) wanted) etc. Any and all requests will be accepted! If you want to request to be represented by a certain sprite, I'll do my darndest to meet that request! If you want to see someone else sprited, well, you'll have to get them to send me a rough description as noted above, and I'll gladly do it! Anything! Just send me the love! (Sample work to appear in the next few days) Also next to Stick's Sprite Stand, Mr.Bunny has set up a booth of his own. Check it out...
dragonqueen Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 Dragonqueen strolls over with a fistful of hard-earned geld and stares. Her eyes grow big. "Ooo...a sprite...of me...wow! Oo...I want a special package deal!" She tosses down 15 geld and thinks for a moment. "Okay, description. Tall, skinny human girl. Blue eyes, straight mousey brown hair hitting just below her shoulders. Wearing oversized long-sleeved turtleneck and and artist's beret. Soft half boots. And some sort of pants. No particularly bright colors please. Thanks a milllion!" OOC: Yay!
The Big Pointy One Posted July 12, 2004 Author Report Posted July 12, 2004 Sweet. My first job. Give me about a week, and I should have something cooked up for you ^.^
The Big Pointy One Posted July 12, 2004 Author Report Posted July 12, 2004 Oh yes, I forgot to ask, what's your desktop/display setting? I need to know that to make an appropriately sized desktop wallpaper ;p Also, am I correct to assume the colours don't matter, so long as they aren't bright?
dragonqueen Posted July 13, 2004 Report Posted July 13, 2004 (edited) Hmm...it tells me that the desktop/display setting is 96 DPI, whatever that means. Other than than, I don't know and no, the colors don't really matter. Edit: Okay! It also tells me the resolution is 800 x 600 pixels! Edited July 13, 2004 by dragonqueen
DeanTheAdequate Posted July 13, 2004 Report Posted July 13, 2004 Souinds good! I'll take an avvie and a banner, if I might. Dean is... Well, Dean Martin from his rat pack days. He wears a velvety black smoking jacket with a glowing neon martini glass emblazoned on his left jacket pocket. He dons matching black trousers and usually has something to drink in his hands. His familier is a little black cat known as Phil D. Cat. All that is known about him is he is quite intelligent, can speak, and weilds the power of cynacism. Thanks, in advance.
Finnius Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 (edited) Ooooh... Shiiiiny... (Five geld hit the table, soft clink.) I'll take an avatar and a banner, please! S'about time I got a proper Avvie. Finnius is a dark blue, with black hair, and typically dresses in simple but tasteful robes. Color doesn't really matter. He's short, barely topping five feet, and can usually be found taking a nap in a tree somewhere or otherwise roaming around the Pen grounds. Thanks a million! Editted for misunderstanding the price listings. Edited July 14, 2004 by Finnius
The Big Pointy One Posted July 14, 2004 Author Report Posted July 14, 2004 (edited) Dean- help me out a bit more here... I'm fairly ignorant... what's his head like? Also, does your cat have any identifying features? Finnius- I think I got some ideas for yours... I think it should be fairly simple... however, what colour are your eyes? Edited July 14, 2004 by The Big Pointy One
DeanTheAdequate Posted July 15, 2004 Report Posted July 15, 2004 Well sir, my favorite pic of the Ol' Deanster is my avvie now. Hopw that helps. As for Phil, he's exactly like GiGi. The cat from "Kiki's Delivery Service". When I get a few moments I'll look for a pic or two.
Gyrfalcon Posted July 15, 2004 Report Posted July 15, 2004 Gyrfalcon grins as he sets a jingling pouch in front of Stick. "Fifteen geld, my friend. I assume you know me pretty well, but if you need a reminder: Physical: Suntanned, with green eyes and wavy dark brown hair. roughly 6' tall, well-muscled from all the things he does as a ranger. slightly pointed ears with the points usually hidden by his hair, but can poke out as ye wish. Clothing: brown and green clothing, with a dark green cloak. Normally has a katana strapped to his back and a bag of holding on his hip. Personality: Calm, confident, sort of been everywhere and seen everything sort of attitude at times.
Finnius Posted July 15, 2004 Report Posted July 15, 2004 Why, my eyes are green, Stick! Forgot to mention that, did I...
The Big Pointy One Posted July 15, 2004 Author Report Posted July 15, 2004 (edited) Gyrfalcon- thanks for the reminder... this time your sprite will be a bit more interesting as opposed to last time. Finnius- wow, good call, that's what I went with in my test version ^.^ EDIT: follow the link above to check out my old webcomic... don't worry people, I'll do a better job than that, I promise ^.^ If you want to see a sample banner, click here. Oh, and just as a reminder, I may not be using photoshop, so I'll have to do some creative thinking on the backgrounds. If I can't do anything clever with paint, then I'll have to find myself a copy of photoshop. (dimensions are loose, I'll probably use the size people around here use, whatever that is...) And if you want to see a sample desktop, click here. Again, I'm not sure how cool I can make it with paint, so there might a be a bit of delay for those who want the wallpaper whilst I get myself some photoshop action... In any case, that's all my old work, and I plan on doing much better for everyone ^.^ Edited July 15, 2004 by The Big Pointy One
Gyrfalcon Posted July 16, 2004 Report Posted July 16, 2004 Heh, I had liked the Sephiroth sprite actually. *grins* It seems your banner and desktop links aren't working at the moment- Geocities protesting the linking or something, most likely.
Katzaniel Posted July 16, 2004 Report Posted July 16, 2004 Just in case he doesn't come back right away, I've hunted it down... Main If that doesn't work, copy and paste: http://www.geocities.com/atma_sliver/ Click to go in, click on "Artwork", then you can view whichever of his many pics he was trying to hide from us! Haha! Actually, even the self-described worst ones aren't bad. Way to go BPO. (Oh dear... that rhymed... I'm sorry!)
The Big Pointy One Posted July 16, 2004 Author Report Posted July 16, 2004 Ah, thanks Katz, I was just about to get to that... *wanders off indiscriminately*
The Big Pointy One Posted July 22, 2004 Author Report Posted July 22, 2004 Sorry folks, the infamous real life has taken a harsher grip lately, and well, as I'm sure some people have gotten used to now, I just can't complete this. Full refunds for everyone, of course. Damn, my credibility hurts.
Peredhil Posted July 22, 2004 Report Posted July 22, 2004 Hugs Hmmm, I came in here to commission a piece, but instead let me give you support. Real Life can consume, as we all know. We understand, we forgive, you have our support. Hugs again
Gyrfalcon Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 Sure thing, Stick. When you find some time, I'll be a willing customer again.
