Want to help make some User Created Badges? You can do this by posting them here!
Specifications:
-Badges must be 50x50 pixels
-Badges must have a 1 pixel black border.
Other than that, feel free to do whatever you want with your badges! If your badges are accepted, you will receive:
- 1 Reputation Point per badge
- A special edition GSHC badge for the first 5 badges accepted
- An Emblem message for the first 15 badges accepted
When we reach 50 User-Created badges, unless they go into the standard or limited edition sets, they will start to replace the oldest. For example, if we have 53 badges, the 3 oldest will be replaced with the new ones, unless they are a part of a set.
The shine effect used in standard badges is found here. (http://forum.goldensunhacking.net/index.php?topic=747.msg14821#msg14821)
Great, I will be flat out
Can we also make themes that you can use? like coose our favourite anime or something and create badges for that so you have a theme to use when you need new ideas?
Well this will be easy. I'll have three up some time tomorrow-ish. Feel free to take them and use a better art program to touch them up.
Though I am curious... what's the point to badges again?
Hey, will something like this work for badge submissions? I attached an image of Alex to this post, since I want to be careful with Imageshack now (in fact, an advertisement from them seemed to try to attack my computer, which was blocked). It has probably been sorted out by now, but I just want to wait a little longer.
Have a nice day.
Edit: Just made one slight modification, and reuploaded.

So what have we learned today? Yes, that's right - this is why we use photobucket.
I have never had problems with Imageshack before though. I used to use tinypic, but they have an odd habit of converting your files into other formats, often with me into .jpegs.
Also, I might try my luck with another random Golden Sun character first.
Have a nice day.

User-Created badges go under their own section, so they can be anything.
@Role: Badges are images that pop up on your profile that can be purchased with Reputation. Whether or not you want to use it is up to you, but it's a fun way to customize your profile. Reputation will be able to buy Djinn, Items and Summons eventually, but we want to get the RPG elements set up first.
Best to let you do the GS characters then, because yours look better all neat and tidy
Salanewt's badge is nice, too. I'm using it.
Cool, thanks! I do have two more (at least bases) for badges, Saturos and Menardi.
I was going to try Kraden, but he barely has any art on the Internet (the best that I could find was from the credits scene).
Have a nice day.
I'll accept the Saturos badge. The Menardi badge needs to be cleaned up before I can accept it. (the art should also be raised a bit)

Tester ^^ :)
Okay, thanks Charon. Here is a slightly better Menardi, differently cropped and a slightly different (but difficult to tell without knowing) background.
Have a nice day.

Unsubmitted
Looking at the Logan one made me remember that I hate how his nose turned out...
Okay, these aren't done yet, but I don't actually know how to finish them. Charon, I loved how you did the original character's badges, with the dark blue background and sheen, so if you could go in and apply that to them, I'd be QUITE grateful. ^-^

These characters should have NO DISCOUNT applied unless the person applying for them has submitted a hack which uses them. I think all the Character-based Custom badges should be like that.

If we do that, you can't use your avatar anymore you know.
If theres gonna be a time and place were an exception should be made then I believe tis should be let slid because I submitted it and have been using the avatar for months now thus should be passed also, A friend of mine made it.
On a second note, the image summited is 50v50 pixels whereas my avatar us 80x80 so technically its a different image.
COME ON CHARON, :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: dont let me down.... Noooooooooooooooooo I love my Avater
Then undo your submission. Charon said that you cannot use a badge for an avatar or signature, she will remove it. And since yours would count as a larger version of a badge... well, it'd have to go. Perhaps next time you'd think these things though before going and doing that?

When Charon stated badeges couldn't be used as Avaters, she was mainly pointing out that she didn't want her work stolen. User created badges may be a different matter. So no i,ll leave it up until I get word from her. I dont know what you are making a big deal over as I dont see how it effects you?
@Charon... Im Making a request that if you own a badge, then you are able to use it as an avatar? That pretty much sounds fair.
NO, it doesn't. Badges work as a different system than avatars, and using a badge as an avatar, ANY badge, effectively undermines that system. The rules cannot be broken just for one person. Either follow them, or suffer the consequences, Maxi. If you want to use those, you have to get a new avatar. If you want your avatar, you must rescind your submission. That's all there is to it. No exceptions are to be made, not even for someone who made an avatar.
Rules are RULES, not guidelines.

Read my last post, then comment again, Until you do your point is invalid...
And when I own i mean, not user created but if purchased.
You were asking the rules to be changed just for you.

Oh, and there's also the part where you don't understand the concept behind that rule.

Stop being a nineball and listen for once. Until then, your point is invalid.
Them rules were made before the user generated avatars were even brought up so whats your point?
Im not asking for rules to be changed in the FIFA world cup or that we should be allowed to swear or post Roms on the forum... Im asking for a little change in how this community "system" works so far. (Something minor)
Im not sure if its your time of the month but sheez you are getting riled up about something that doesn't concern you in any way. You are not Charon, you are not an Admin, so drop it.
Then I'll attack from a different standpoint: They don't follow the request format at all. I do recall a 1px black border being required. Yours do not have that.
I may not be an admin, but I'm a stickler for the rules - that earned me moderatorship int he past. I'm STILL the first responder for rule breaking anyways... I'm usually the one who alerts the admin and Jamie that something happened.

Which I didn't deny in the first post? , My avatar and badge submitted are different images, right click and save as, open in paint, check the dimensions...
There are opinions and then there are facts.
They look exactly the same, the dimensions hardly change the picture if they're still the same one.
Besides, the forum already has all of the character portraits in an avatar gallery. Character art works better as a badge.

That all comes down to taste tho, I was hoping to trade my badges thus far for and to start and collect the avatars (was planning to get the rest of the games avatars up)....
Seems that wont be the case now tho..
(late post)
They're the SAME IMAGE RESIZED.
You can't just save it in a different size and call it a different image.
Many of those already have a 1 pixel dark blue perimeter, so you could just change the colour to black and be done with it, and then I wouldn't be complaining at you!

You are right, I think
non-custom should be used as newbie/freebie badges. If they are used as badges at all... (and be allowed to use as avatar/sig) Anyway, even without knowledge of this website, it is so easy to track the same images off google....
Here's how I see it happening:
A badge for each game. Awarded for ownership of the game (and ONLY for ownership - if you've never gotten it, you can't have it). Dark Dawn's badge cannot be attained until after the release of the game, as a result.
The animated elemental ones are clan badges - when you join a clan, you get its badge. When you leave it, the badge is stripped from your possession.
The rest work as normal - like element badges get a discount from like element clan members (Jupiter gets Karis for only 1 Rep, for example), otherwise it's gonna be 3 rep (Jupes must always pay 3 rep for Matthew).
User created have a DIFFERENT way of doing things, but only slightly. For custom characters, if you've used that character in a hack you've made, then they're only 1. You MUST have submitted the hack and be listed in the credits as a contributor. Otherwise they're 3. Location based ones work the same - if you used a location in your
finished hack, you can get a discount. For hack based badges, it's a bit different. The creators earned the badge by making the game, others must shell out 3 rep.
At least, that's how I see it.

Told you. But did you listen? Nooooo. Nobody listens to the mage...
Interesting ideas Role.
Anyway, I have Karst. I would work on Agatio, but I have to get ready to leave for my exam soon. She has a little bit of a decoration in her background, similar to which Agatio might have on his badge.
Have a nice day.

I will, but I'm unable to do that at the moment. I'll update as we go. The discount also only applies to the Standard Badges - as soon as they are put up there the Discount can go into effect (unless otherwise noted)
I also like your game idea, Role. I'll get them up asap.
Maxipower - Badges and Avatars are seperate entities. Badges cannot be used as avatars and avatars cannot be used as badges. Even if it were the original artist using a badge as an avatar, they would have been able to use the badge without buying it, and buying the badge is the whole point of the system.
These are the badges that I am accepting:
(http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr139/ahpuoh/Jennafelix.png) (http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a314/acidadept/IlaProtoBadge.png) (http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a314/acidadept/AidenProtoBadge.png) (http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a314/acidadept/KariProtoBadge.png)
Any other badges must be redone in order for them to be accepted.
Aw, oh well. I suppose someone else can get Karst to look nice as a badge. However, I do have Briggs and Eoleo! Please tell me if they are good or not.
Have a nice day.
My only problem with the Karst badge is that you can barely see her.
I'm accepting Eoleo, but Briggs looks rather pixelated. Try shrinking him down a bit more. He should also have a paler background. :p
Also, if anyone's using GIMP, here's the .xcf file I use to make the Blue Background Shiny badges:
Great, thanks for the badge layer! Some time this week (probably tomorrow), I am going to update my previous badges with that layer.
Also, thanks for your input Charon. I changed Karst's background to a lighter purple, but Briggs will require a bit more work (making his arrival come later than Karst's).
Have a nice day.
Edit: Slightly refinished the edge of her cape.
It still needs work - a paler purple, and make her a tad larger (resize the original art, NOT the badge).
Great, thanks for the advice. The problem with the artwork was that I could only find a reduced version (at a website which would let me see it). Luckily, I found another source for artwork, so her badge has now had a makeover!
Have a nice day.
I like this one!
Cool, thanks! I also have another Briggs, but it looks pixelated to me as well. Do you think so as well, or am I just seeing things?
Have a nice day.
This one's better too. *accepts*
I got some Borderlands badges for ya!
And, since it only lets me upload 4 at a time, heres the last one (which is also my favourite~) General Knoxx is so kewl~~
Here's Agatio.
(http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr139/ahpuoh/Agatio.png)
how are all yous getting that polished effect, Im guessing photoshop (Which I have but it would be nice to know... btw thats one nice agaito, one I will buy down the line :)
+1
I did it myself actually. It's not that hard... Just do a white streak across the badge on a separate layer and make it transparent.
yeah, i used photoshop. what i did was take one of the old badges and spun it so that the shine was tright side to side. i made a layer overtop, selected the rectangles where there should be shine, and filled them in with white. personally, i set mine to 40% transparency. then, i rotated them until the shine matched the sine on the original non-rotated one (which means i just repasted). after that was done, i made the borger, and put the shine and border in a group in front of everything. i deleted the other pictures, and then made a group to start making badges in.
would it be possible for one of yous to revamp my image like that which was submitted
http://forum.goldensunhacking.net/index.php?topic=745.0
The Sakum one, looks like my avater
actually, he look sa lot younger XD anyways, by revamp, do you just mean put the shine on it?
It should. That's how I got my three touched up.
Though... the background is the wrong shade of blue...

yea agreed he looks younger but the dude who made the avater for me made it before even seeing the concept art that the artist drew so im not to fussed, I think my avaters EPic tho, I love it
EDIT: I wish the dude would do more for me... Cause he was good
I agreed with Role that the backround colour seemed a little off, so i tried to fix that too. does this work for ya?
also, here are some more Borderlands badges
...and two more XD thats all i got for badges for now
Strangely enough the colour I used was identical to the colour of Charons first few..
Maybe Role was talking about her own? :?: :?: :?:
But great job anyhow :)
oh, no, i mean, the shade of blue used in the badge differed from the shade you use in your avatar. i thought the shade in your avatar was better, so i tried it out.

yeah, i have 4 more, so one more post will do it.
i feel bad for making so many posts in a row, but itd be annoying to post them at different times. sorry!
you can edit your posts?
He's doing that because he can only upload 4 per post. Normally I'd get him for that many posts, but this is practically an art topic, and it's a meaningful update.
This is why I upload them to an image hosting site - so I can post as many as I want.
i know it was so much posting, i still feel bad even though it didnt really break any rules >.< and it would take too long to upload all of those to an image hosting site like that, really... i wish we could put more files per post, but oh well.
? No it won't, not with files that small. Takes maybe ten seconds, tops.
what on earth do you use anyway? doesnt matter though, i try to only use things ive trusted for a long time, so you'll probably just say something i dont use ^^;

I often use tinypic, the convert .bmp to .jpg's and that can make the image look crappy. So I upload .png's... they don't convert those. Also, they now have an anti-bot system. :( ... No registration required though.. so..

And I would really rather you didn't quintuple post to get around the file attachment limit. It's not really intended for posting images like that anyway, there are plenty of free alternate image hosting services you can use.
Please use an external hosting site if you want to post more than 4 badges. Posts don't count here so it isn't a big deal, but I won't accept your badges if it occurs again. Considering also that after 50 custom badges are made the oldest will be replaced, it's only fair to post a few.
The following badges have been accepted:

ooohh... i didnt know theyd be replaced after a while ^^; guess i missed that part... is it alright if some of mine are excepted at a leter date then? like halfway through next month? i did really like my borderlands ones, and there were a few i was hoping to put on my profile :Sweat:
Special limited edition badge:
Only those who Participate in the RoleQuest1: Elemental Cirno scavenger hunt will be permitted to have this badge. It is a badge for PARTICIPATION, so in my opinion, it shouldn't need to be bought. If it MUST be bought, it should only cost 1 coin, but ONLY BE PURCHASABLE by those who participated. Badge will not be available until the contest ends (read: When winter begins!)
(http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a314/acidadept/ElementalCirnoParticipationBadge.png)
As this is an EVENT BADGE, it cannot be sold back. After attaining this badge, it is permanent. Furthermore, after the contest ends, there is no way to get this badge.
Looks nice.
QuoteAs this is an EVENT BADGE, it cannot be sold back.

At the same time, it should cost you ZERO coins, though. It's an event badge, so you earn it via participation. As you cannot undo participating, you kinda can't sell it! Technicalities for the win!
I'll permit removing the badge, but it cannot be traded, sold or anything like that.
That's what the idea was. I mean, you're getting it for free badge. Selling it for coins is kind of cheating the system - we can't have that.
Yoshi (egg) badge!
Non-character badges are allowed, right?
Oh, that's a really good one! I'll add that one right away.
You're allowed to make basically whatever you want :D
To do list:
Nothing, suggestions welcome :happy:
The only one I have a problem with is the Megaera one, because even though it's really cool how you added an animated shine, the quality of the image behind the badge seems to have been compromised.
Also, if you do the Venus and Mars icon badges too that would be great. :D
Here are the badges i created using Star Ocean 4 characters. For now i only created two ... if they got accepted i can finished the rest of the characters. Well i think they can be considered simple compared to the other badges ><
@Charon: I had a look at the badge request page and am, as a result, slightly confused as to what the cost of badges are... You where writing about Experience points, Respect and coins in the same explanation...

Lol the'yre all the same thing, I changed the name like 3 times before and forgot to change every instance of the term. They are "Coins" because they are essentially Karma but renamed.
The only badge not accepted was "Ghostly Assassin".
Still need badges?

Those badges have been accepted, but I'm not going to be adding any more badges until we get the shop up set and going; Atrius is working very hard to get it ready.

I was wandering... you said that those badges had been accepted, yet you didn't put up Arcanus' badge. Is there a reason for this? Sorry if that sounded rude, I wasn't sure how to phrase it differently...
It's because I'm waiting for Atrius to finish the uploading component of the shop system...
*selffacepalm*
I didn't realise that you hadn't uploaded any of those three. Makes more sense now, my apologies for superfluous question.
...
...
^_^
Well, I'm waiting to make it so that I can add them to shop system, not the manually-changed badge system we have right now. That's also why the new Limited Edition Badge set hasn't popped up yet.
Updated set of elemental badges (could you please replace the old ones with these?)
(http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb429/Tondemonai/VenusBadgeII.png) (http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb429/Tondemonai/MercuryBadgeII.png) (http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb429/Tondemonai/MarsBadgeII.png) (http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb429/Tondemonai/JupiterBadgeII.png)
Please tell me if they are not displaying...
Ehhh? They were fine as they were before, without the little corner doohickies.
Not adding those ones, we already have those. Anyways, the ones I didn't add before will be added today to the Shop utility. Since it's not available to everyone yet though, I'll also add it to the manual shop.
The badge will officially open when I get the Tales of Symphonia set up. At this time there will not be trading items though; get me a list of basic trading items up and I'll put them up.
Ok
I just thought that they looked a little plain...
Here' some Pokemon and Mario badges to make up for it<---Comment is not to be taken seriously
(http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb429/Tondemonai/HeartGoldBadge.png) (http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb429/Tondemonai/SoulSilverBadge.png) (http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb429/Tondemonai/StarBadge.png) (http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb429/Tondemonai/GranStarBadge.png)
The icons/emblems from the original elemental badges where not centred, which made me want to improve them... if I post the new badges without the corner doohickies would they be able to be accepted in place of the originals?
If you're going to do that, get the logos for the other pokemon games.
Most of them don't really have logos though...
That's fine, as long as we get the gist. I'd love to have badge for each of the pokemon games I own... Use the cover art title mon if there's no actual logo, I figure.
Ho-oh and Lugia badges For those of you who don't know, representing pokemon silver and gold respectively

Palkia(pearl), Venusaur[for the original pokemon green] and Blastoise for Pokemon Blue.
Dialga is a pain though...nothing I make really captures it's uniqueness...
Sorry for using so many Pokemon in the badges :happy:
Dang, you've been busy! I've accepted all your badges, but it'll take a bit for me to put them up.
Even though we have the new badge system set up, I'll still accept new User-Created badges. So keep them coming!

Don't apologize! When they don't have their own logo, the title mon is the way to go! You did the best you could with the limited resources you had to work with. You should be proud of the quality, too!
Here's a rayquaza badge for emerald :happy:
(http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb429/Tondemonai/EmeraldBadge.png)
Hmm, looks a bit too sharpened. Try resizing a slightly different crop, that tends to yield better results. You can also (mildly) mess around with the blur feature.
I normally work with crops that are 100px2 and then resize them to 50px2. <--- Random piece of information.
(http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb429/Tondemonai/EmeraldBadgeII.png)
Messed around with blurring the edges and increasing contrast (a little).
Good work, I'm doing other things at the moment but consider that added. (thanks for making all these badges! Really!)
:D
So...
That means it's Pokemon Black, White, Platinum, Diamond, Crystal, FireRed and LeafGreen to go...

Giratina's good, Dialga looks too sharpened.
What do you mean by "too sharpened" exactly? Just not enough anti-aliasing, or what? Because I honestly think the first emerald badge they made looks better than the second one. Background was a big factor there.
In Dialga's case, I think Charon is specifically talking about his horns. If you can see the pixels, it should be slightly blurred.
Otherwise, nice work so far Shinigami. Please keep at it, your badges are really good.

What do you mean by "too sharpened" exactly? Just not enough anti-aliasing, or what? Because I honestly think the first emerald badge they made looks better than the second one. Background was a big factor there.
It's mainly two things that I didn't like:
-The picture was scaled poorly; while Gira looks relatively smooth but crisp, Dialga looks really pixelated in comparison
-The horns, like Salanewt stated, are very uneven looking in comparison to the background
In the case with the first Rayquaza, he looks really icky on the background with all those pixels sticking out. I liked the second better although imho its not his best.
If you're using paint.net, it's got a feature that allows for various types of scaling to do it in a better way - the default is optimal, I believe. Look into it - it does a much better job than would, say, MSPaint. Dunno about how to do it in photoshop, but I'm sure they have a way to do smart scaling in it.
If nothing else, send me the cropped, un-resized pic, and I'll scale it to show you what I mean.

(http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb429/Tondemonai/EmeraldBadgeIII.png) <--- New Rayquaza, old background...
I use GIMP Image Editor.
Ah, I see. Yeah, there's a reason I don't like Gimp, Shini. Consider looking into Paint.NET.
Gimp actually has 4 different scaling options (although you should never use "none" under most circumstances).
The stock for Dialga you're using must be really low quality, because it still looks ugly... ;-; Are you using it from Bulbapedia? Usually they have really large images of the stock available for download.
@Role: I run Ubuntu, not windows... I'll try running it through WINE... but personally I'm happy with the GIMP and don't see your problem.

The first are way too blurry. Use the sharpening tool like you did with the last one. Last one has been accepted.

This one's too blurry.
(also... other people can make badges too, you know. The last like 20 badges were all by Shinigami... o.o)
Please can you make Flandre soon. Pwetty pwease?
OK so... (http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb429/Tondemonai/FlandreBadge.png)
Problem is, without using anything but original artwork it's very hard to make this badge look right.
So, unless that badge will be accepted(which I doubt), I am going to use another piece of artwork.
My PC has been fried for the past several weeks, else I would have made some badges by now. Either way, it looks like Shinigami is doing enough work to make up for the lack of work from everyone else. :happy:
Something seems a bit odd with this badge. I can only really see her eyes, since the rest of her colours seem to blend in.
The Flandre one seems a bit too bright... perhaps make it a little darker?
That's what I was thinking. I still liked it though, but I'd gladly replace it if you have one that is better.

On the badge requests topic there was a post, by Charon, that explained how the system was going to work.
There was a part there that said that members could purchase badges that would only get displayed on their profile(for 4 coins) and would not be available to other members for purchase.

A. No, you're completely right. You can't purchase them from the Shop though, and if you want to get rid of them or set them as your favourite, you need to contact me.
B. Yes.
Also, this is a crapload of new badges. Mind putting them all in a zip folder so I don't have to save each one individually onto my hard drive? Please make sure there aren't any duplicate characters. Post the zip and I'll increase your coins.
Hoopa's are also accepted.

we're supposed to post these as a zip file right? let me know what I have done wrong. this is my first time trying this.
also ignore my NPC. I didn't realize it was in there when I zipped it. I was just messing around with it. thanx to Charley's DP for letting me know.
Which Format?
I just made a badge
Is this okay?

That is the file format which i got the the base layers in...
Edit: I managed to convert it to .PNG

Do yall think this one :up1: is it ok? if not I am ditching it bcz I can't do anything else to it. but here are mine that I editted. criticize me! :)
It looks like three of them are of the same person. Also, the pic of Aerith looks... off. Sephiroth's looks kinda pixelly.
no. two are Zack one is Angeal. I'll fix Sephiroth. but what do you mean ...off?
I have some advice, though it may seem a bit rough coming from me.
[spoiler=criticism]The background of Aerith's badge contrasts too much, in my opinion, you might want to make it a slightly different shade. The first Zach badge (1, not 2) looks a bit blurry, I can barely tell his mouth from the rest of his face. I would also smooth Angael's face a bit, as I can see the pixels on his face. [/spoiler]
Otherwise, I think they look really good; I like Zack 2 the most. Overall, I only really see a few minutes of repair for the rest of them. Please, keep up the good work!

An .xcf file is the default/native file format the GIMP uses.
Here is a badge of Kyosuke from Super Robotto Taisenno(Actually It's just Super Robot Taisen)
EDIT: And one more Badge of Megaman X From, well, Megaman X...
Aye, the backgroud contrasts in a way that takes Aerith into the uncanny valley.
@KoP: The X badge is too blurry. It needs to be sharper than that.
Is the shinning effect optional or is it required?

1: Why bmp? That filetype is uncompressed and generally is huge in filesize. You could use something better like png and still have the same quality.
2: Your dimensions are 60x63. I think they should be 50x50.
3: The borders are not even on all sides.
4: I'm sure there is going to be atleast one complaint about that badge by someone... It looks good otherwise.
Edit: On 4, I was referring to the blurriness/choppiness.. You can notice it quite well on the perimeter of the hat and the hair that covers her right eye.

mm... looks like my Pixel ruler is failing me, well ill see if i can fix this, thanks for telling me what it nedeed ^_^
Try to use gimp to produce these badges - its a free program to use and is very versatile. Also, the badges must be 50x50 pixels in width, have even borders, and the general quality of the badge is not good.
I would recommend taking a stock image, cropping to a certain section (preferably 75-300 pixels or so, square), then scaling to 50x50, making edits as necessary. Try not to make it too pixelated, or blurry. It looks like you're having trouble so I'll post a mini tutorial.
For example, say this is your stock image:
[spoiler=large](http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/104/8/d/yoshi___original_character_by_daigonite-d3e08f5.png)[/spoiler]
You could make it proper size by cropping. You can crop by making a selection with the selection tool, then selecting "Image -> Crop Selection". You can make it square by checking the property inspector to ensure the length and width are the same.
(http://i53.tinypic.com/wmicle.jpg)
And then scaling. Scaling can be done by selecting "Image -> Scale Image"
(http://i54.tinypic.com/2rqm41v.jpg)
Then, by opening Base.xcf, we can add a shine and border really easily! Just paste your cropped image as a new layer between "New Layer" and "New Layer #1".
(http://i56.tinypic.com/xgjh3d.jpg)
Also, the shine effect can be found on this post. (http://forum.goldensunhacking.net/index.php?topic=747.msg14821#msg14821)
Hmm... You make it sound so easy. By the way, I have decided to do my very first badge. It is Hermione! Cool, isn't it?
I did this in Paint.NET. It's probably not the best, but...
Anyway, if you thing it is better with the shine, you can add it if you'd like.
I am sure there is something to critisize but I don't know what. I love it. ide buy it. I love Harry Potter. I have read all the books 6 times and the fifth one 7times cz its my favorite. make more HP badges when you have time please. :happy:

http://download271.mediafire.com/j63gvk2x62fg/2sdmpmu2j616n52/Shigeru+Miyamoto+Badge.gif
Looks like you've got a bad crop, though... those bars on either side kinda stand out.
You could just extend the border on the bottom.
Also, read my lips: No more gifs. Well, unless the badge is animated anyhow. Please use PNG. And you can just attach them to a post and not go through the hassle of an external upload service.
Also...
I almost thought that was a joke for a second xD
well i think i am really bad making this things unless i draw them with a pencil XD
No, you're just making a few mistakes. Once you fix the mistake I'll gladly accept it. I'm trying to point them out as obviously as possible so you know, and so you can fix it quickly.
don't worry Charon, i always like honest opinion that tell me my errors because once i know them, ill be able to fix them, but what i was talking about is that i feel more comfortable drawing by hand you know
Okay, but please note that this thread is only for user-created badges. So unless you draw the artwork in a user-created badge, you can't put it up here. You can, however, put your artwork in this section. (http://forum.goldensunhacking.net/index.php?board=13.0)

Do yall think this one :up1: is ok? if not I am ditching it bcz I can't do anything else to it. but here are mine that I editted. criticize me! :) I had trouble with the Aerith badge too but I think it looks ok.
The only badge I'll accept is the second and fourth one, here's why:
1 has a white edge around the character that sticks out too much, use the eraser tool to rid of it.
3 is too blury.
4 I'll put a border around. I'll need the character's name in the upload, though, so please reupload it with a border and a proper name.
5 is too pixelated.
3 was too blurry. I figured that. 5 was the only good shot of angeal I could find. I didn't even want it I just wanted the main characters. I tried to fix 1.

Aerith looks like she's sick... You may need a different source entirely for her pic.
there aren't alot of options for her as far as pics are concerned.
and how does this one look? I haven't added the base.xcf file yet but I just want to know what y'all think.
The third one looks the best. That last one you did? it kinda looks like liek she's going zombie or something. The angle also kinda makes her look like a monkey...
Also, that last badge is xbawks hueg. Let's... not use that, okay? Proper size should be proper,after all.
I'll try the third one. thanx. and the other I just haven't resized yet. I just made it and wondered what y'all thought. so is it ok other than the size? I got the idea from KOP but his was alittle pixelly and to dark so I made my own.
With the glow like that on the Aerith image I think I'd skip the background color, and leave it white. Just add the shine effect, and it'll be good.
it'll not be as good as you might think. when its resized, it looks weird. however, when I try to correct it, it looks weird to but in a different way. the first is the original, the second is edited.
edit: hmmm. now that I look at them next to each other. the first doesn't look that bad and the second is wqy to much correcrion. I'll fix that, hang on.
edit 2: here we go!
What scaling method are you using? Do not use "None", ever, unless you're scaling sprites. You should probably be using Linear or Scalar.
Honestly, if you just take the original stock and put it on base.xcf (from this (http://forum.goldensunhacking.net/index.php?topic=747.msg27607#msg27607) post), I would accept it.
uhhhh... scaling method? I didn't know there were different scaling methods. I just hit scale image and set it to 50x50. but I'll add the base later I have to go somewhere now.
Aye, to my knowledge there's at least four different types.
and how do I know what type I am using?
If the program's good, it'll give you a choice.
Use Paint.NET - it has the option to automatically use the best sampling type for the image you're trying to change the size of.
Ok think I'm done.

A while ago...
I had this really good idea of making Touhou character badges...
Unfortunately I also had the really bad idea of making them in no particular order...
So now...
In a sensible order, with a compressed .zip file containing .xcf(changed my mind, you don't need the .xcf files, do you?) and .png files...

Also, I know that there are some characters I have posted badges for before. If it is not too much trouble could you please replace those badges with these badges (of course without increasing my coin count for them)?
I will now start on fanart and other artists art touhou badges...
.zip file iswas attached to post...
Also, if it's OK with Charon, I'd like to make animated/.gif versions of the elemental badges after I'm finished with this...
Autumn Girls look the same. You need to somehow include their distinguishing features - without those hats, they look the same.
It might have just been me uploading the same image twice from photobucket... I also noticed that there where only ~30 images on display there, whereas the folder I uploaded them from contains 58 badges (they should all still be in the .zip file though). Kind of hard to keep track when you're pasting so many image codes...
Assuming by saying Autumn Girls you mean (http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb429/Tondemonai/Touhou_Badges/Shizuha.png) and (http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb429/Tondemonai/Touhou_Badges/Minoriko.png)
Everyone's portraits from Immaterial and Missing Power, Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, Unthinkable Natural Law and Great Fairy Wars coming up in one packed .zip file full of 80640 pixels of epic cuteness.
Here is the preview (hopefully without doubles or missing ones this time):

Considering all these Touhou badges, I might make a section dedicated to just them, just because of the sheer number...
Aye, now I don't seen any duplicates this time. You may have just double posted one or something, though.
@Charon: If that's how you feel, do the same for Fire Emblem.
...Oh, and can we have a set of True Runes?
There's only like 10 Fire Emblem badges though, I think there's even more Pokemon badges than that. Most of the FE badges are LE badges anyhow, while there's like 25-30 badges in each of these sets, including the one I just had up... yeah.
Set of true runes? Hm... I was thinking for a while we could have a Suikoden themed LE set but there's just soooo much to work with... lol. I'll see for now, I'm going to work with organizing these badges.
If you make the set yourself that's pretty much a free 20 or so coins though.
Still, Suikoden Runes would be a freaking awesome set to have. :D
Yeah, lol.
I might go ahead with the Suikoden theme LE badges but I have no idea where to start in what characters to select (I haven't played all the games y'see and there's just a huge selection of characters to work with) so if you could compose a list that'd be just wonderful (and I'd give you some coins for the effort).
Noooo! Start with the runes! The Ruuuuunes!
There's what, 756 characters? In that case only recurring characters, those with True Runes, and other important ones (ex: Thomas, the Tenkai of III) would be done for characters.
Haha, since they're still important of course I'll still keep them in there!
Yeah I was thinking just the big mains, but the problem lies in what draws the line as an "important main". For example, for SIII, we could include Hugo, Fubar, Sgt. Joe, Lulu (god knows why), Lilly, Chris, Percival, Leo, Salome (aaauugh), Louis, Roland, Borus, Geddoe, Ace, Queen, Joker, Jaques, Aila, Nash, Caesar, Apple, Thomas, Cecile, Piccolo, Muto, Eike, Juan, Luc, Sasarai, Sarah, Albert, Yuber, and there's probably someone I'm missing because I'm tired. But if we just had just
Hugo, Chris, Geddoe, Thomas and Luc for SIII (not counting TR) it would be a pretty short set, especially counting that this game had the largest "important" cast. Most of the games would probably have about 5-10 characters if this where the case and the set would feel really really empty... xP
Even with SII you'd have the problem of deciding whether to include characters like Seed, Culgan, Viktor, Flik, ect. because they're very important characters... but how important?
I mean... yeah. Some of these could get away with covering two games (like Lilly and Apple) but zomg. D:
and before you say anything viktor and flik badges would be amazing
That's still a lot of people, though. I say start with just the ones I listed, then eventually expand to the others. I mean, hell... you listed a large list for only a single game. Instead, start simple, expand to greater.
And while you say that's a small group for just the ones I suggested, I counter with "We have 7 games to cover". Some true runes have multiple owners as well (Soul Eater and True Flame, for example).
I still say starting with runes is a better idea.
Of course we'll keep the runes in there, that's a given. I'll probably start with those sometime... I'm kind of loaded today (helping Sala with his hack, organizing the badges, stuff at home) so maybe I'll start tomorrow.
If you wanna help out too that'd be wonderful.
If you are gonna include characters, then go with the main characters of each game then move to the secondary characters and so one ... the series has like 700+ if they didn't reach 1000 already lol
Luc is a must since he appears in the first 3 games ....
And i can help with this since i have played the first two, the fourth, fifth and the spin off >_<
Just let me know if you need any help and what is your plan ^_^
Luc wields the True Wind Rune, so he's already included as a True Rune Wielder.
So we're starting with TR chars. Then I'll do TR badges (the designs).
Sometimes the TR goes from one character to another though, like with Ted and McDohl, but I bet none of us would really care for a Jimba badge, even though technically he did once have True Water. So I still think a wanted character list would be good.
Also, what's your opinion on characters with alternative outfits, like Luc?
EDIT: I think I have a good idea. I can do two sets, one for True Rune characters and another for other important characters. The latter will be just 1 coin each, while the TR characters will be 2. When I make a new set I'll have all of them be worth 4 coins though.
I think their set names will be TR and SK. They'll technically be part of the same set but because of the way I put it together I'll need two sets to fit all the badges. It's a lot of work but I think it'll be worth it, especially considering I've been kinda lazy with the LE thing.
Speak for yourself. Each person who had a true rune would be cool, even if one of them isn't even a star, IIRC.
As for characters that appear in different games, use the game portrait for the game they carry a true rune in. For Luc, it'd be GSIII. For Ted, GSIV. You get the idea.
Also, characters who have runes related to True Runes, such as the Dawn and Dusk runes, the Sword and Shield runes, etc...
Alright, I'll get as many of them as I can, some of them don't have stock that I can work with.
Also, I know next to nothing about Suikoden or Suikoden IV so you all might want to list some important characters. My knowledge is pretty scant on Tierkreis too because I played it sporadically 2 years ago (this is for the second set). Since Thomas, Nash and Freyr are mains in the games I'll include them in Set I as well. No Tierkreis characters will be included in the second set.
Pfft. Just go to Suikosource and save the profile pics and/or pictures you need. It should have bios on every character, too.
Pshaw! Their pics are tiny. But they do have pretty good bios. :D And at least their SI-II aren't gifs.
I'm getting to work on saving pics, expect the TR's by Monday at latest.
Uhh. Charon? When you first accepted my zack badge before the others, it wqs in the shop and called just Badge. Now Aerith has replaced it with that same name and Sephieoth isn't there at all. ???

Zack was fixed, Sephie should be there (might be in the wrong location) and I'll check Aerith.
EDIT: Aerith was fixed, Sephie IS there... for some reason looking for him by name doesn't work. Try ID code. ID code for that badge is C047.
For the sake of convenience I will upload a folder with all the badges contained within the other two... And a preview of all the badges...

[spoiler= Possibly unnecessary suggestion...]Suggestion for handling this: Delete all current Touhou badges, reduce my coin count to 0, upload all displayed Touhou badges, increase coin count by relative amount. It would get rid of unnecessary confusion when replacing all the old ones... (I don't mean that as it sounds by the way, just could not think of another way to phrase it...)[/spoiler]
.zip folder is, as always, attached to the post...
Do you mean the ones I uploaded a few months ago because I haven't uploaded any of your new ones yet.
I'll reset your coins to 0 though and do that. Just don't expect them back right away because I'm doing the Limited Edition set and its going to be a doozy.
Due to the "Tip of the week" item in the shop having no icon...
Technically not a badge, but...
(http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb429/Tondemonai/Random/Hint.png)
If you use it or not is of course entirely up to you... I just thought it would look less plain...
Thanks!
Yeah, it does look kind of weird without an icon, so I gave you a coin for that. :D
Ok this is another attempt i am doing of making a Sucsessfull badge

Zane Truesdale from yu gi oh GX
Alright, you're getting there, but the stock you used is very pixelly. I would recommend using a fairly large sized stock (400 pixels or more), then cropping to the selection you want, then doing it.
If you have the XCF file I could see if I could make it look a little better though.
thanks Charon ive been practicing using GIMP and ill see if one day im able to make a good badge, i won't give up, but i dropped some water on my mouse so im using my joypad as mouse though
you could try inkscape and then open the image in gimp to put the base on it. I love inkscape. I use a mixture of it, paint, gimp, and microsoft word 2010. weird I know. XP
here ares some new badges I just made. sorrt in adavnce for the double post but I have to go to my friends visitation and don't have time to upload them to photobucket.
again sorry for the double post.
I don't think we can pull off the beta badges. The quality needed just isn't there.
what quality. they're portraits, that's how they look. I jist thought it would be cool to have them as we never see them.
The only ones I don't like are the beta sprite ones. Cloud might look better if he was put onto the right a bit more, but I'll accept him as-is (this is only if you want to fix it and I'll replace it)
It should be noted that I will not accept portrait sprites because of their resemblance to one of the avatar sets, and badges are NOT allowed to be used as avatars... so that would just cause confusion.
we could have the betas be avatar choices. so the others are accepted? sweet!
What I'm saying is that pics are better when you use official art as a base instead of a sprite - unfortunately, we don't have that with beta images. The pic quality is quite striking compared to all the other badges as a result.
John's badges are up.
We are in a need of non-Touhou badges to fill in the spaces between C068-C074 (9 badge spaces are reserved). Please help out!
Obligatory Dragon Quest set.

In order: DQ IV Male Hero, Rocket, DQ IV Female Hero, DQ V Hero, DQ 3 Hero, Terry, DQ VIII hero, DQ VI Hero.
Pretty sure these need some more work though, so do tell what needs to be changed.
Why didn't I think of making Dragon Quest character badges...
I have a problem...
(http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb429/Tondemonai/Random/Screenshot-2.png)
As you can see, as soon as the quantity of items in a set exceeds 100, I am unable to "visit" other pages from that set...
Also, I have 102 coins, yet none of the Touhou badges are on display...
You have to go to the base of a set, for example, "Pokemon Badges" to reach the Pokemon Badges, or "Tellius" to get the Tellius badges.
That's why I moved the SK badges.
It is a really frustrating glitch though and I'm gonna talk to Atrius about it.
@Hoops - "Terry, DQ VIII hero" are the only badges that don't look great, I'll accept them but if you find less pixelly stock I'll replace them.
yeah. I have that problem too. I can't just go through the pages of all the badges, I have to go to a specific section.
Fixed badges. Not much else to do except enlarge them though...
Those look great. They'll be put up later though...

You're missing the PC-98 characters and Rinnosuke. There's no Konngara, Yumemi, or even Mima. Maybe Mima will be in the next upload.
This is how much I know about Touhou:

Oh, I thought they were yours.
Here's a badge I made of... ME!!! Yay me. I'll be popular, famous, I'm... What do you mean you're getting it because Pepper's in it? -.- Sigh.... Some people just don't get it... :P
I won't accept that badge as is. You need to get a clearer shot of your character, and put less emphasis on the background Kirin. I can barely see your character as is...
:Sweat:
My second? attempt at making a badge. I choose Phoenix Wright. That one case where you see him when he was a college student.
How does it look? I chose gray for the background since when you use the other colors you can um... see a strange outline where the hair meets the background.
2 things - the head isn't really the focus of the picture and the white line around him is distracting. Just offset the picture (or use a different one) and make sure to get rid of the ugly white dots around him and you'll be good.
Alright, here's a redo. I found a better quality version of the same image, made the character more prominent and made the Kirin summon much smaller. Pepper didn't change.
Its still hard to see. Kioll should be the emphasis of the image, not the whole thing. He's also really hard to see his lineart and he blends with the background too.
Take a look at this accepted badge:
(http://forum.goldensunhacking.net/Sources/shop/item_images/EmeraldBadgeII.png)
You can see Rayquaza very clearly. It's for Pokemon Emerald version, but it doesn't really matter that the background is not green, and it makes Rayquaza easy to see. In addition there's nothing else that distracts from Rayquaza, the main focus of the picture.
Now take a look at this badge:
(http://forum.goldensunhacking.net/Sources/shop/item_images/zzBadgeG022_MercuryAnim.gif)
This time the focus is just the Mercury Djinni in the bottom left corner. Even though the background complements the colour scheme, you're still able to see the Mercury Djinni clearly.
A last example:
(http://i42.tinypic.com/10pc0lh.gif)
This image actually has two focuses, but they don't distract from eachother. The text is easy to read and doesn't get in the way of the main picture. Try doing something like this with the little Mars djinni. So have Kioll's whole profile, with maybe even some of his chest, and having the Mars djinni covering the least important corner. Personally, I'd remove Kirin outright.
I hope this clears things up a bit. It's hard to make your first badge, but you'll get the hang of it.
I agree with removing kirin. Put the mars djinni in the upper left corner and maybe try to fade it out a little so it isn't so dominant. That way it would look like it's just hovering over his shoulder, rather than running forward yelling "HEY LOOK AT ME!"
The next load of badges is going to take a long time to create... sorry...
Well over 20... maybe 30 even...
And I just noticed that TvTropes has fan art of almost? all of them!
I don't know about personal badges... but if we do have member specific badges, I think they should require the member's permission. I also think they should cost more than a standard badge, like as much as the video on the profile thing. After all, having general badges is one thing, but... badges for specific members is...
Suppose I attempt to omit the background?
I mean like this as an example:
EDIT: Adding Dahlia Hawthorne. (I have a feeling it may need to be slightly edited.)
EDIT 2: Added Franziska von Karma! (If it is slightly to the left, just note that I tried to completely omit the background.)
EDIT 3: Yay. Now we have Phoenix Wright the pianist.
Sorry for double posting, but I have 4 more badges.
Er.. Make that 5.
(http://i900.photobucket.com/albums/ac208/charleysdrpepper/maya.png)
EDIT: New: Lana Badge!

(http://i900.photobucket.com/albums/ac208/charleysdrpepper/spongebob.png) - Yeah, I know... But I have made this badge to see who would actually buy him.
All look good.
Lol spongebob badge.
Won't be putting them up today because I HAVE A ESSAY TO WRITE RAWR but I won't hold them off for like...4 months lol like last time.
That sounds okay, I guess. I have created ten more.

They're good to me.
I'm not uploading them for a while though. Its not something to do with you, but its something I'd rather not talk about at this time.
In the meantime mind uploading a zip so its easier for me to gather the files? Thanks.
Okay.
All 21 accepted badges here. The "Teawater - November 2011" set. Until I make more.
It has been a while since I last uploaded a badge myself, so I decided to make one based on Wild Cherry!

As a replacement for the current elemental badges how about...

Those look far better than the current elemental symbol badges. I agree that they should replace them. Plus, now we'd have fundamental ones, too. ^-^
I actually prefer the current ones, to be honest. That's not to say those are bad or anything, though.
The current ones are screen rips - these are from an official source.
Er, but aren't the screenshots technically from an official source too? Either way, I wouldn't mind having access to both sets if I ever decide to buy another badge.
Screenshots are messy, while official pics are typically more crisp... it's an issue of quality here. There's also the fact that the screenshots are taken from the battles background, which doesn't even have consistent colors, since they do a kind of color swirl thing. These are more regular than the ones we have now.
But I like the current ones because the other ones look really kinda... uh... hand-drawn. DX
...They do? ...I dun see it. :/
Alternatively, appease both camps by keeping the old ones and posting the new ones seperately. *Shrug*
How does that appease both? One camp wants replacement, the other just wants them as new badges. You'd only be appeasing one side.
>> Awkward time to come in, and I honestly almost fell asleep reading through a few pages.. but.. has noone done a Geass one yet? That'd. Be. Epic.
well I was planning on making a set of badges of the two most well known characters from 25 well known anime... maybe i should make a topic on it?
Formally requesting the creation of a Lilligant badge (in the same style as the current Pokemon badges).
(http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a314/acidadept/549.gif)
I mean come on, she's too cute to not be a badge.
Don't you mean "formally"? Anyway, I want a Roggenrola badge! Heh heh...
(I'm also sick of this theme. STFU, April fools is over already!)
so... this topic is dead... darn
With Charon's permaban, we don't have an admin with the time to do site-oriented things. Really nothing you can do about it, I doubt anyone here is qualified - we all have personal grudges, and would be likely to abuse them.
She's not perma-banned, she just left.

I agree. Lilligant's one of the cutest Gen V Pokemon, she should DEFINATLEY be a badge.

Is that so? Well, still, and admin who abandoned their duties is one in need of replacement, so... well, if you know anyone who's willing to do all the forum-centric stuff, it might be a good idea to bring them into the GSHC.
Just found these, and thought they looked awesome. Buuuut they're gifs, and I lack software to give them the proper borders...

Yeah yeah, I know, no Forum Admin to upload actual badges, but I figure it's only a matter of time before Root Admin Atrius finds someone to handle site maintenance so he can focus on other things. The position of Luna is open, and what is Light without Shadow?
Anywho, they need like, borders, right? And to be shrunk to 48x48 px, right? So 48x48 with a 1px border... Those would make awesome badges. :3
Hint:
Gnu Image Manipulation Program.
Seriously, it opens just about anything...
What is your problem with the GIMP anyway?
Shinigami is right, and they still look nice too.
(http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a314/acidadept/VenusDjinniGif.gif) (http://i900.photobucket.com/albums/ac208/charleysdrpepper/VenusDjinniGif.gif) (http://i900.photobucket.com/albums/ac208/charleysdrpepper/VenusDjinniGif50x50.gif)
I've only done this one for right now.
Edit: I think they should be 50x50, but I took it down to 48x48 from what Role's post requested. Perhaps the border should go outside the image instead.... ; That, and some slight quality adjustments should be made. There are left over pixels from the ears. If you compare the layers individually, you will find that you have two options: Get rid of the pixels entirely by replacing them. Or draw on the layer that is on top, so those pixels can be maintained in its own frame. I myself, would probably choose the second choice. (latter) ; Better yet, I'm going to use GIMP in conjunction with Paint.NET.. Hmm.. FIXED! See the last image.
The jupiter djinni might give you some problems regarding it's proportions...
I had made some, but then 'we' reinstalled our operating systems (both Linux and Windows)...
