Yep, that's right, I'm making an avatar shop for LA members to request avatars they would like to have displayed.
I would make this topic both an avatar and banner making shop, however, I do not have a stylis for my tablet at the moment, and making banners would be rather hard to do. (the one in my sig took quite some time to do without the stylis) Plus, I rather separate the topics into two different types of things (avatars and then banners), as it makes it easier for me to keep track of what my current projects are. Hopefully soon a banner making shop will be opened. I'm going to go ahead and make this topic a sticky, so members can have easy access to it whenever they please. Requests can be easily placed, and I can get to work on them quicker. Below are some guidelines pertaining to the requests you can make for an avatar.EDIT (June 24, 2005): Note, I have changed the requesting format, so that it is easier for me to read and for the member to state what they want on avatars. This allows members to get exactly what they want. If you don't care for any of the fields, and want me to do things by my choosing, write NP (no preference) next to the field in which you would like for me to choose by myself in the creation of your avatar. For the avatars I created up to this change of formatting, I did my own designs for borders, animation, size, text, and colors, for member's requests. I am still able to do that if you would like. Write N/A for the fields you do not want in your avatar.
Guidelines Regarding Avatar Requests

Text & Text color:
Border/special style:
Colors used:
Avatar template (yes or no):
:crystal:Avatar sizes can range from 50 x 50 pixels to 130 x 130 pixels in size. Members have the option of choosing the size of their avatars as they wish. If a member does not state a specific size of avatar they want, I will choose the size of it on my own behalf.
:crystal:If a member would like a character image incorporated into their avatar somehow, they must tell me specifically what character they want in it (name of character, what game/anime/etc. did it come from, etc.) and I will do my best to search for those images somewhere. If a member already has an image ready for use, they can simply upload it in this topic and I can take it from there to put in the avatar.
:crystal:I am able to do slight animations such as blinking/winking of eyes in characters and perhaps a little other movement effects. If a member would like animation somehow incorporated into their avatar, simply state so.
:crystal:If a member would like their username enscribed on it, or any other text like a quote or something, state so. Any specified colors can be mentioned.
:crystal:If a member wants a certain border style, simply state what kind and color (double border, single, etc.)
:crystal:If a member would like certain types of colors used on the avatar, state so.
:crystal:If a member would like a unique avatar template, simply say yes or no in the field, and I will make the avatar in a template, probably of my choosing.
:crystal:If a member would like for me to create a surprise avatar for them (an avatar of my choosing), simply state so.
By choosing the surprise option, the avatar will be customized by myself.:crystal:If a member is unsatisfied with their product, simply tell me, and I will modify it for them.
:crystal:Art takes time and so patience is nice to have for an avatar request. I want to produce high quality work, so please refrain from nagging in any way.
:crystal:Crediting me is not required for avatars, but it's a nice thing to do.
Well my friends, those are the general guidelines regarding the requesting of avatars. Now you may begin requesting as you please.
