Innocence ~ Requests with Grace

Thanks to frank's suggestion, I have opened up a request thread. =D Here, I'll be taking up requests for banners, icons, or anything similar. I will be doing one request at a time and whoever posts first, gets their request first.

If you do not like what you receive, please don't be shy to tell me. I'll be happy to remake it for you and if you give me some suggestions on how to make it to your liking, I'll try my best to fix it. =D

If anything is vague I will message you over PM and let you know. I will also PM you when I have started on your request. As for receiving your request, I'll be thinking of an easy system to get the file to you. If anyone has suggestions feel free to post them here until I decide on a system.

If you are wanting a Grace~Request, please fill out the request form below. I feel this will make things easier for both of us. If the request form does not agree with whatever you are wanting me to make, please feel free to make your own. Leave a slot blank or filled with "n/a" if you don't have any preference or you don't want anything in the category. For example, if you didn't want any "text" on the request, then the request category would look something like this on the form:
Text: n/a

Examples of Grace~Requests include the following below. Feel free to use any of these if you like, but please ask for my permission first!!

I took the liberty to pull these out and post them separately, as a new post. So they don't get lost up top there, somewhere. lol

Thank you for starting on my requests. Shroden and Shaden thank you very much. Me too. ^_~

[Graceful Innocence]

Thank you frank. That was a good idea. And your welcome! =D

Its my pleasure Shroden and Shaden. ^_^

I need to change the size limit in that signature upload tool. :/

I think anything above 530x200 for sig banners is overkill. The width of the postbit is about 550px... any more and it'll start messing up the theme.


Ontopic: I didn't see the examples in the first post originally @_@ I guess they didn't load when I first checked this thread. gao.

You said you don't use Photoshop? If so, what do you use? They don't look like something you can make out of Paint o_o;

[Montreal]

looks like paintshoppro or corel, maybe.

Okay, I'll PM the artist with that info.

[Graceful Innocence]

Sorry, but I do use photoshop... =/

Sorry if I didn't clarify that >_<"

[Takai]

I thought it was pretty clear 0.o

Those are great btw, keep it up ^^

x_X I'm sure she said she had Photoshop on her laptop, but her laptop was kaputt.
Guess she got it fixed x_x

And for relevance: I updated the size limits for the signature upload thing.

[Graceful Innocence]

Thank you so much Takai! =D And thank you frank for taking that out of my post. I guess I really did clarify. ^_^

July 21, 2009:

Oh wow those are really good Grace! :O I'll have to think of something for you to do for me, they're so pretty!

[frank]

OMG!! -falls in love with Grace! after picking himself up off the floor, after just staring at the creations for Shroden and Shaden-
:oops:

They're beautiful!!

Shroden: "Hrrrmph!! Yes, yes. Quite good, Princess Grace. Images that I will be proud to have represent me. Thank you very much. *bows a polite, dragonly bow, as he has been taught by Shoden, and offers the most prized gem in his beginning treasure hoard*

Shaden: "Is that me, Miss Grace? Is that me? I don't know what to say and I don't have any treasure yet to give. And I don't know what to call you. But I love you anyway for giving me this wonderful present." *Wraps his little dragon arms around one of Grace's legs and just hugs and hugs and holds her tightly.*

Sarah: dear Grace, it seems you've made my frank and the two, newest members of our family very happy. Very happy, indeed. Thank you so very much. Please, accept this gift as token of my thanks. *offers Grace a tiny, floating crystal with a dragon's tear and an angel faerie's tear trapped inside. It scintillates with colors never seen before by Man and emits tiny, tinkling sounds, telling of the beginning of the Universe.*

Shoden: Hrmph!! Yes, very well done, Lady Grace. I approve of your efforts. Very fine work, indeed. So much so, I may ask you to render a likeness of me. At your convenience and within your time frames, of course. Thank you for creating these fine gifts and, apparently, bringing pleasure to my entire family. Please, accept this with my further thanks. *hands Grace a floating, palm sized, ball of Dragon Fire that keeps shifting colors*

♥

(by the way, in this thread there is nothing that I know of to prevent the artist from making multiple entries. Sometimes that's the only way to have them appear as new posts in the thread, especially when completing a request. Otherwise it'll stay buried with the original communication. Montreal can advise further on this, but it seems reasonable to me. ^^)

[Graceful Innocence]

Its an honor to hear that Shamanicgirl09! =D

*admires gem given to her by Shroden* Thank you so much Shroden! *bows* I am honored to hear such kind words.

*smiles at Shaden and laughs a little to herself* You're very welcome Shaden. I'm so happy that you liked it. *pets his head* It means a lot to me to hear that from you. *smiles*

Sarah, it's beautiful! *admires her gift* I'm just so happy I was able to make the whole family happy. *smiles* Thank you so much for your generosity.

*admires ball of Dragon Fire* Thank you Shoden. I am honored to accept this gift and your kind words. It means a lot to me to experience this. *bows*

And thank you frank for all of your kind words and patience. =D And yes, it makes sense that double posting for the artist in a request thread be acceptable. ^_^ I just didn't want to cause any fuss, but now I know that I won't. Thank you so much frank. =D Oh, and thank you Shroden, Shaden, Sarah, and Shoden. It was an honor to meet and work with all of you and your kindness is wonderful. Thank you so much all of you. ^_^

[Mac]

Hm.. o.o

Dimensions: 450 x 150 (in other words, the same size as my other ones O_o)
Main Colors/Images: Whatever fits. I'm guessing red/orange/yellows will probably work but... seriously, whatever works.

Text: My name (Mac)
Text type: whatever looks good O_o
Left, Right or Center skewed: N/A (put anything where it looks good)
Special Instructions: Make it look awesome? ^_^''

This might be a test.. :]

[Montreal]

hate to be a prude but....shouldnt i get to choose who gets in the group? or at least be consulted?

[frank]

I would think so. You are Mod for that group, right?

Also, perhaps irrelevant, but noteworthy--to me at any rate--Graceful Innocence has, to date, posted at least 10 samples of her work. 4 @ my request--2 banners and 2 matching avatars, all of which were quite good.

Also, by previous request of Montreal, there were five or six banners and her own avatar.

Plus providing a format for members to follow when making requests.

Plus being extremely courteous and cooperative in every regard, as far as I can tell.

Plus having so much talent, and exhibiting that talent for everyone's enjoyment, as they have commented.

Plus, bah.............not my forum anyway. Sorry to butt in.

[Mac]

True. PM me what you think.

But from what I've seen she does very good work (and she did say in another thread she wanted to be a graphics artist). x_x

[Graceful Innocence]

*looks over Mac's request* Okay! I'll get started on it right away when I get back from my trip. I shall be back around July 31. Sorry for the wait. I know its a bit of an inconvenience. I appreciate everyone's kind remarks and patience. =D

If you have a request that you want fulfilled, please feel free to go ahead and post it here. =D However, please understand I will not have computer access for about a week so don't expect them done immediately. I will PM you when I get started on them - this PM will come *after* July 31. Thank you so much for you patience! =D

[Graceful Innocence]

Done! =D Here's your request Mac:

http://i972.photobucket.com/albums/ae205/Graceful_Innocence91/MacRequest.jpg

Tell me what you think. If you want anything changed, please PM me or post the changes here.

[Mac]

O.O

-cry.-

tis awesome. ;------------------------;

[Graceful Innocence]

*bows* Thank you so much Mac. ^_^

[frank]

Grace, Shroden has asked me to make a request of you, since he is too embarrassed. (whoever heard of an embarrassed dragon? ) Now that he is an adult, he wants his adult image showing, if that wouldn't be too much trouble?

Same everything as on the existing siggy, but his adult image showing. Can you do that for him, please? He might even part with another one of his treasures in appreciation.
That is a real surprise! Dragons HATE to part with any of their treasure.

Please?

[Graceful Innocence]

It would be my pleasure Shroden and frank. ^_^

So... here they are! =D I did the avatar also just in case. ^_^

http://i972.photobucket.com/albums/ae205/Graceful_Innocence91/Shrodenicon-adult.jpg

I think these are quite fitting Shroden. After all, you look quite impressive in your adult form. =D

[frank]

Shroden: "Hrrmph!! Yes, yes! Again, quite good. Excellent, really!! An image any dragon would be proud to have so skillfully represent him. Words fail me, Princess Grace, as they would not either frank or Shoden. But I am told that the time must come when I begin to speak for myself. This image helps to give me that confidence. I'm pleased you find my appearance impressive. Thank you for the high compliment. Your rendering is even more impressive.

Please accept the small treasure you will find next to the welcoming rose. I hope it is satisfactory to show my appreciation." :oops:

[frank]

Miss Grace, Can you do something for me, please? Everyone is teasing me because I don't have a signature thing and an avatar thing. Please. My brothers are horrible. But they told me you can make me happy with my own name and pictures, too. My element is is water and I am a Furdragon. If you could make look as important as they do, I will love you forever. Please, please??

They said to let you know that I wanted everything to be just like theirs.

Please?
