Requests For Banners & Avatars

[Alcar]

Yep i am now making banners and avatars, mainly because i'm available to do them, don't got much of a social life.

Seeing as i don't have Adobe Photoshop, which i want to get soon, but it costs $700. I can't do all that fancy texts that i want to be able to do.

All finished banners from me will be sent to you via PM and i will post them here.

RULES-Last Updated 4th January 2002
If anyone asks for a banner/avatar you must:
-Have been on the Oddworld Forums for at least 2 weeks
-Have posted at least 20 posts
-Also, if you have in the past requested a banner from another person and wanted me to do it instead bay them the curtesy and tell them this, i also would like to be notified if you would like another person to make your banner. All of these must have been aquired to be eligable to have a banner made for you.

REQUIREMENTS-Last Updated 4th January 2002
If you would like certain things to appear in your banner/avatar follow these guidelines:
-If you would like me to have a predone background for your banner tell me in your post
-If you wold like more text than just your name added to your banner tell me
-If you would like certain creatures/characters/items etc to appear somewhere in your banner tell me.
-Tell me the colours you would prefer your banners text to be

Ok for the first banner it is Oddworld Masters:

I made 2 because i didn't know which one would display the text better

[Cloverfield]

I noticed that Oddworld Master had asked THREE different people for a banner.

I know Sydney has said this before... what if either one of us had started to make the banner? Then one of ours would have been discarded.

I am not trying to sound mean or anything here and don't want to signal you out Oddworld Master. But to anyone, decide who you want to make your banner. If you change your mind, pay the person courtesy and tell them you are getting one from someone else instead.

I myself had made banners for people that asked both me and Sydney. But now I understand where he is coming from with saying this in the past.

On the other hand, Alcar, it is great to see you making banners. It will be good to have someone else out there rather than just myself and Sydney.

[Alcar]

Well thanks Abe Babe, i didn't know Oddworld Master had requested a banner from yourself and Sydney. I gotta look more at the other banner topics. He/She asked me to do one when i was on Oddchat today and i willingly accepted.

But i know that yours and Syneys are heaps better than mine. So i'm sure not to get that many requests *sighs* oh well.

Anyway i will check back at the banner topics if anyone else asks me

[Oddworld Master]

i'm really sorry abe babe i forgot all about asking you for a banner i get impasient and i forget who i have asked. again i'm really sorry and if i can i will make it up to you

[Oddworld Master]

i tried to cancel my request last night but my internet connection for the forums wasn't working right. again i'm really sorry and thank you very much alcar i love the banner. if i can make it up to you in any way i will just tell me and i'll do it. sorry

[Cool Paramite]

I can make banners too. Not really good ones, but....... I think I will start when my new site is up.

[Alcar]

Abe Babe, i did what you said and changed this topic to my own banner topic, thanks for the advice, also should i from now on keep posting the new banners here, or PM the people who have asked for them?

Ok Surfacing, here is your new banner, i used the background you wanted and added the extra text: [img]http://communities.msn.com/_Secure/0QAAAAHgXz*ji7SIzzwlJDi5*XsQR3D8iCztxta02VAcNB9aw!Z87u1p821a0TLdDLLv87nk6SyamuQdPaVAoPblekp5rAFVvLwB sAG8AZwA/surfacing-banner2.jpg[/img]

[Surfacing]

Thanxs a million Alcar!!!! it looks (Sic),I'm put it up let's put it 4 the test!

[MudokonOddball]

Hey Alcar.
If any of you have been following my posts for the past couple of weeks, i have created a banner but have failed in getting it into my signature. If you could find the time to create a banner for me, i would be eternally greatful.
As I said, i have already tried to make my own banner. It's not much compared to what you are doing but i would be just as thankful anyways. If you guys do have a chance to make me a banner, could you make it kinda similiar to the one i have made? here's the banner's link:
http://communities.msn.co.uk/Homefor...hoto&PhotoID=1

It has the picture of Abe laying down with a dark green backround. My name is in bright green, and there is a saying that I would like to have on there:
"I am odd...
SAY IT WITH ME!!" with the first line the same colour as my name, and the second line purple.
I really appreciate your time in doing this for everybody.

[SeaRex]

Hey. A banner would be soopa excellent!

My Caption: Half the smarts, Twice the bite!

1. If you could find a complete sea rex picture for the back ground, that would be awesome! Just add a blue "SeaRex" with my caption in white.
OR
2. Bubbly/Graffiti style blue "SeaRex" on a black back ground with my caption in light blue. Plz add a Snoozer (NOT snoozi!) somewhere in there, too.
OR
3. Big black and blue "SeaRex" with the worried Gabbits (MO opening FMV) in the background. Add my captionm, too.

These are in the order of banners I want the most, but any of them would be fine.

[Alcar]

Well Mudokon Oddball here is your banner:
[img]http://communities.msn.com/_Secure/0RAD**1MZMm9nU0hyYjw6sj8K5X!iu8aZyVYfPBhg*LAyh0OrKcjWZscVC78!Pn2FW!8xPgdtGLMBlY1ymBZlzaP1FBfsFY7solG MOjTPJfU/mudokonoddball-banner.jpg[/img] http://communities.msn.com/_Secure/0...all-banner.jpg

Hope you like it, but i'm sure another colour background or background picture would have been better. Green isn't really that good...but oh well.

SeaRex, i think i will only be able to do '2', i can't find a picof a searex, but i do have a graffity style text. I've tried to search for a searex but nothing has come up

[MudokonOddball]

Oh yeah that rawks. Thank you so very incredibly much. (I'll stop with the sliming there, or i might go on forever!!! No, really.) This is REALLY great. Thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!

[The Magog On The March]

If ya could make a banner for me.. i'd appreciate it
But anywho.. if ya could, I'd like it just to be a "jungle" background (like on the first banner) with a picture of Sam & Max on it (Don't know who they are?! For shame! I could e-mail you a pic of both of 'em) and then it saying "I HATE COUNTRY MUSIC!"
Could ya do that?

[Alcar]

Yes i can, could you please email me the pictures you want included, my email is alcar@oddworlduniverse.cjb.net .

SeaRex, i still haven't found any pictures of a searex yet, all igot is the small picture of a searexes head, which is the same one as one of the forums avatars.

Also it is great that people like my banners, i didn't know what people would say, but i guess people like them!

[Alcar]

Here is your banner Magog On The March:

[SeaRex]

Don't worry about finding a complete Sea Rex picture, Alcar. My #2 banner choice is just fine. It's cool that you have graffiti font!

[Oddworld Master]

[Alcar]

Heres your banner SeaRex:

[The Magog On The March]

nyah.. the forums hate me

[SeaRex]

Holy crap, Alcar! That is WAY better than I imagined it! Soopa Excellent!!!

[Alcar]

Thankyou for the thankyous everyone!

By the way SeaRex, by the looks of what you've done, u have placed the image incorrectly into your signature.

You must put [img] at the beginning of the images address and [/img] at the end of the images address.

Also i am going to try to place your banner up on here now The Magog On The March, for some reason the original post isn't working, i even uploaded your banner 3 times trying to get it to work:

[SeaRex]

Ok, now how do I get it to work?

EDIT: Nevermind, I feel stupid now...

[ January 05, 2002: Message edited by: SeaRex ]

[The Magog On The March]

Wahay! Thanks Alcar, looks like it finally worked! Heh, dunno why it was so hard to get it to work; 'guess it didn't like me

[Oddworld Master]

What program do u use?


Mudokon101...

[Alcar]

To make banners i go through a 3 Stage process:

Stage 1: I use Microsoft Paint, which is so simple yet so effective and good. I gather backgrounds and images of creatures etc. And place them on the background.

Stage 2: I use Photo Impact SE to add the text, using text with paint doesn't appear correct.

Stage 3: I either save it or if i need a transparent bacground i will copy it to Paint Shop Pro and save it as a transparent gif.

So alot of work does go into making these banners. Although i wont expect you to buy all of those programs

[•[cyrus]•]

Well, I now that I've gone to an ordering web-site that they had 'Adobe Photoshop 6.0' for about $290.

[Alcar]

Well very soon something secret will be unvieled, so i guessed i would update everyones banners:
