What do you make your graphics with?
All the programs, fonts and resources I use are listed a few posts down... under
Credits.
Why are your prices so high? gonk
You think they're high? I don't. With the questbars especially, there is a LOT of work and time and effort that goes into making each one. A single questbar is actually
21 separate images, one for each 5% including 0% and 100%. 1200g for 21 images is pretty inexpensive in my eyes. You're paying less than 60g per image, and that includes animation AND free hosting.
Isn't it stupid to spend gold for something when I'm saving up for (insert item here)?
It might be, but I look at it this way: Everyone on Gaia has access to Tektek and their Questbars and as such, everyone always has the same one. The item may change from user to user, but the image itself is a cookie-cutter of every single other one out there. With my Questbars, you are getting a completely unique set of images that not only look SO much nicer, but are also much easier to use. If the price of your item goes up, you don't need to redo your questbar. With mine, the percents on the items stay the same... but the calculations may change without having to remake the questbar itself.
How long have you been making computer graphics?
On Gaia, since January 17th, 2008. But otherwise? Years.. I may not be the best, and I'm certainly not the most talented, but everything I've learned to do has been self-taught and I think I'm pretty good. ^^ I even hosted my own graphic design website,
www.pink-gumdrops.com. It's been closed for a while now because I can't afford to keep up with the domain name, but it ran for some time.
How much are your graphics?
Erm..
stare The prices are listed for each item on their respective posts!
How did you come up with the questbars?
I wanted to use one from Tektek and realized they're too plain and everyone else on Gaia uses them. So I created something different based very loosely off of Tektek's questbars, for myself and my friends, really, and then I decided that they were such a good idea.. that I'd make a mini shop offering them to everyone else!
Can I order more than one graphic at a time?
Sure, if you'd like to!
But only up to THREE! Just to make things easier (on the both of us), please post multiple orders in the same reply... and add your total up together to use one trade request.
3nodding I can keep track better of what I've finished and what I need to finish if everything is together. This only applies to if you're ordering multiple graphics
at the same time, if you come back at a later date and decide you want something else.. there's no need to go back and edit your previous order. Just post a new one then!
Can I order a graphic for one of my friends as a gift?
Of course! To do so, specify that the graphic is a gift by writing it in here on the order forms:
Example
Who is this for? Friend's username here
I will PM-deliver the gift straight to the person you bought it for once it's completed.
Can I order (insert graphic type here), even though it's not in your shop?
Since opening the shop, I've made
plain text blinkies, banner sets for threads, wishlists, small advert banners, large advert banners, 88x31 buttons, profile patches, pixel dividers and more!
You can either PM me about what you need, or post it here on the thread, and I'm sure we can work something out! Prices will be on a case-to-case basis, depending on the size of the graphic and the complexity of what you're asking. The only things I can't/won't do are avatar edits or complex animations that involve with, say... making a Kiki kitty's ears and tail move, wings flap, animations of that sort.
