Making profile pics ad avatars

Post by Arvemor »

Hi all,
I'm now making profile pics and avatars for silver. Roleplaying reasons can be discussed later (ie theft, payment for services -nothing dirty!)

Heres some examples of what I can do:
Mix, match and recolour:

With this particular picture, I've used parts of different bodies (star wars in this case) edited them together, and stuck my own face under the hood. I added a background, and played with the colours and shadows until it fit well together. And the second one I merged two profile pictures together, recoloured them, and made a background.

From scratch:

These are kind of experimental at the moment...so they are cheaper no matter how much they turn out. This one is small, but I do larger ones.


Picture editing:

Here I simply smudged and rendered faces that already existed, and stuck in backgrounds. Wit the lizardman, I only changed the colour of his skin.

Prices depend on how much effort has been put in, and how it captures what you were hoping for! So, in other words...I'm working off customer satisfaction! :D

I think that's against the rules, correct me if I'm wrong.

Make the roleplay reason a IG artist who draws images from other characters against payment and its perfectly fine.

What he said. It is not forbidden to get paid with ig things as long as the action is somehow ig related. :wink:
So then it's okay? It sounds like as long as there is an ingame reason for being paid then it's okay. :lol:

I personally think if your character is played as an artist or a drawer or something, It is fine, Otherwise the exchange would be based on OOC info, Which I believe is against the rules.

But thats the same as a quest, isn't it? You probably wouldn't go to this certain place or certain time if you, the player, didn't know there was a quest on. Your character has acted on ooc information that there would be a quest, and so they show up.

So more people participate in the quest. Just say your selling art for silvers on the Trade thread or something.
