Alright, I'm glad to see the Lavalon will finaly be getting back to some type of order. As such, I will once again be creating personal badges. However, this time, I will be setting some guidelines:
1.) Colors will be limited to a pallet of 13 tinctures, consisting of 5 colors, 2 metals, and 6 stains:
Colors: Red, Blue, Green, Purple, and Black
Metals: Gold (Yellow), and Silver (White)
Stains: Brown, Sky Blue, Ash Grey, Rose, Mulberry, and Orange
(I will probibly be changing the pink color to something more... rosy then creamy.)
The use of colors will follow basic heraldic rules, basicly no colors on colors, metals on metals, etc. This rule is usually respected, but is broken occasionaly when warranted. "Stains" are not considered colors or metals, and should be used sparingly with regard to artistic merit.
2.) The use of animals and symbols is limited to the ability of the artist. In my creations, animals and symbols are portrayed as solid shapes without detailed textures (like eyes and other features), in solid colors, or with a basic pattern such as stripes. Some animals are impossible to draw correctly in this style, such as cardinals.
3.) The current standard size for all badge avatars is 80 pixels wide by 100 pixels tall. These dimensions must be specified when setting your custom avatar on this message board, or they will be all squished up and weird looking.
4.) A citizen may request another badge design if wanted. However, citizens still without a badge design will have precedence on the sign-up list.
5.) Every badge design made by myself will be stored on my photobucket account at img.photobucket.com/albums/v35/woodstock20000/Lavalon/Badges/, under the citizens last name, followed by a number if that person has more then one design. E.g. /I'mACitizen.gif, /WooI'veGot2.gif. However, badges must be hosted on the user's own personal webspace, since I don't want my account being lock for a month for going over. I will be talking to Matt on having them hosted on Lavalon's space in the future.
And remember, when requesting a badge, please throw any and all ideas you have at me. Be descriptive! I may not be able to use every element, but the more things you add, the better your design can be:
This is a good thing to give me:
"Could I have something like a green field with yellow stripes and maybe sometype of nice flower on it, in either blue or maybe red or pink? Or maybe even something with a lion or a unicorn in gold?"
Give me this, and I will be forced to hurt you. Yes, I will reach my hand through the internet and smack you like a idiot:
"Um, yea id like somthing c00l with a monky."
Okay? Okay!
