Welcome to The Image Edit Shop!
Catchy name huh? The object of this shop is to make many assorted things: bump images, avatar edits, a funky logo for your contest, a banner for your GGN/thread, wishlists, etc... If I can make it, and Gaia allows it, I'll sell it!
For those of you old enough to remember, there was indeed an Image Edit shop before. This is a reopening of the shop with a clean new thread. I can easily prove I'm the owner of the original Image Edit Shop, so please don't waste a moderator's time by reporting it. sweatdrop

What I use to create things for you
Avatar Editor Version Bases from GavSim and Item Icons from Tektek.org (permission granted via PM from Tekton on April 26th, thank you very much Tekton!)
Public Domain Background Images (I currently use http://grsites.com, which has permission stated on it's website for the general public to use the graphics as needed)
Adobe Photoshop CS2 (editing program)
Any black and white image you supply that I can easily gain permission from the owner to edit/colorize. (If it's a manga scan, don't hold your breath, as it's hard to contact Japanese Manga publishers for permission to edit their work, and I don't speak Japanese.)
Anything legal that you'd like done! If you're not sure, post the idea and I'll check with a Minishops Moderator about it. (Yes I'm purple, but I'm not a Minishop mod)
Samples of my work will be created soon and put on the 2nd post!
Customer FAQ
Q. What's an Avatar Edit?
A. Basically I'll draw unique clothes and items on your Avatar, or a fantasy Avatar. Any hair, eyes, clothes you want, I will try to do for you. I'm fairly amateur at this, so it will take a while and it won't look exactly like Gaia clothes or items.
Q. What's a Bump Image?
A. Any image that is used in place of posting the word Bump. It can include the word bump on it, or a cute catch phrase. Basically it's just more fun to put up than just typing the word bump.
Q. What's a Minibanner?
A. The little banner logo that is present on the left of your Guild name in the Guild Listings and the upper right of your Guild pages. This can be different than the banner you have on the Guild's homepage, in your signature, or on recruiting threads.
Q. What's a Logo/Banner?
A. An image with the name of your contest/thread/Guild that is designed to look cool and get attention when put in a signature or on the first post/homepage. Unfortunately, nothing that I or you did not create can be put here aside from images from grsites and tektek, unless the artist can be found for permission requests.
Q. What is a Wishlist?
A. A wishlist is an image designed to show all of gaia what items you want most. It can't hold as much as your profile's wishlist, but it can be put in your signature and get more exposure, raising the likelyhood of a donation! Especially if it links to your quest thread.
Q. How do I place an order?
A. POST YOUR REQUEST HERE! I will not take PMs, I'm running an RP Guild, a Writing Contest, and of course, doing modly duties, and my PM box is bogged down constantly!
Q. Why are there Order Forms?
A. To make it easier for me to understand what you want. Please fill out the forms completely, I cannot make exactly what you want if you do not tell me what it is!
Q. Where is my order?! scream It's been a whole two days!
A. Be patient! You may not be first in line, and even if you are, it takes time to edit an image to look nice, if I rushed the job and got it to you in a single day, it would look horrible. If you continually harrass me to finish your project, I may report it to an omnimod or just handle it myself by blacklisting you depending on how annoying you get. If you honestly think it's taking too long, please do contact me... politely!
Q. Is it okay to ask for something specific as my contest logo?
A. Sure, tell me what you want on a logo. If you want Gaia graphics, just tell me which ones, they're legal to use as long as they are ONLY for use on Gaia. If you want an anime image, sorry, no, unless it's fanart and I can contact the artist.
Q. Could you colorize this image I drew? Pleeease?
A. Sure, I love to color B&W images, however, you must show proof that it's okay for me to color and further edit it, or I won't. Don't just say "I drew it myself!", I want proof that you drew it, link to your Art Arena samples or your deviantart page to prove that it is indeed, your art style and skills. If it's NOT your art, tell me who drew it and link me to their website, I'll ask their permission, but if they say no, then sorry, no sale. I'd rather NOT get banned or copyright infringment, thank you.
Q. Why aren't these projects like 5,000 a piece like other stores?
A. You get what you pay for. I'm cheap because I'm still learning the skills and want to challenge myself to discover what I can really do. This won't look like breedable pets or anything. It'll look like my samples, possibly a little better because the samples are a few months old.
Q. I don't like what you made. Do I have to pay anyway?
A. NO. If you honestly do not like what I made, I will try again and you don't have to pay until I give you what you want. HOWEVER: If I catch someone using something after they said they didn't want it, I WILL file a scam report. I don't expect to need to do this, but this is here just in case.
