User-Created Badges

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.

[Atrius (He/They)]

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.

[dwkjohn]

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 post), I would accept it.

[dwkjohn]

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.

[Rolina]

Aye, to my knowledge there's at least four different types.

[dwkjohn]

and how do I know what type I am using?

[Rolina]

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.

[dwkjohn]

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...

[Rolina]

Autumn Girls look the same.  You need to somehow include their distinguishing features - without those hats, they look the same.

[Shinigami]

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 and

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):

[Charon]

Considering all these Touhou badges, I might make a section dedicated to just them, just because of the sheer number...

[Rolina]

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?

[Charon]

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.

[Rolina]

Still, Suikoden Runes would be a freaking awesome set to have. :D

[Charon]

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).

[Rolina]

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.

[Charon]

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

[Rolina]

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.
