Here's the place to find information on 'How do I do that?' when it comes to creating avatars, signatures, or even working with the bbc code. There are help files for codework for both the main board forums and the lore sections. There are threads advertising players that are willing to create signatures for other players. Please feel free to discuss technical issues, photo cropping, suggest new bbc code, or get help from players and admins on things you want to do. This forum includes posts, wiki technical aid, avatar art, character sheet art, signature work, and all things visual when it comes to Mizahar.
I love doing Aesthetic stuff. I don't claim to be the best. There are a lot of photoshoppers on here that are professionally trained and do a lot better work. But several of you have asked me to do Box Codes for you, and I asked you to give me an idea what you want, send me some images, etc. Most of you are afraid I'm too busy. I am, busy that is, for the most part. But often when I'm too tired to write its the perfect time to do some photoshop work.
If you want a box code done, I'll work on it for sure so long as you are over 50 posts and have a variety of colored images for me to pick from to use. I can color some black and whites, but it takes a lot of effort and I need to thin down some of these requests somehow. So please don't submit B&W unless you ask me first. I will normally say no unless they are really good images. In order to get something you actually want make sure you give me some idea of what you want.
Include your Character's Name
Include any phrases or sayings you want on the code.
Give me some idea of color.
Give me some idea of the design.
Provide a model name or some images of your PC.
The rest of the requirements are simple. You don't have to use what I've give you or create. You can feel free to hate it or use something else. I get to take as long as I want to do it, and maybe go out of order. You don't have to leave it up for any set amount of time after I do it, nor will my feelings be hurt if you ever change it. I just like folks to have lovely designed posts. So feel free to make a request with the parameters I've requested... and I'll see what I can do about making you a box code for your PC.
Please note that I might take a while doing it and there's no guarantee I'll go in order. But if you request, you'll definitely get something. If you really love it, feel free to make a small donation to the site to help cover costs to help say thanks. This is not necessary but appreciated.
Avatars and Signatures
If I do a box code, usually I will include a matching avatar. But if you want an avatar done and don't need a box code I can do one of these no problem. Same rules as box codes apply. If you want a signature, that's cool but I need to know what you want it to look like in terms of color, design, and any elements you want in it.
Aidara's Explanation on Centering :
Aidara's Explanation to center these codes: How to Edit the Box Code to your liking.
So there are a couple things that you can do differently to the box code to tweak it more to your style. What Jen makes is beautiful and we are all clamoring to get a piece of her artwork, however these changes wont really change the look of what she does, just the positioning of the box in your post space.
Short version: all you need to do is center the two images for the top and bottom of the post BEFORE you put the box code. Change the box code so the colors blend (aka make border color the same as the background) and change the box width to fit that of the images.
I'm going to use a code that Jen made for my character Cailet as an example:
Now, as you can see it is shifted to the left. To center it we have to change a few things. First off, in the above example the header and footer images are inside the box code, which allows the pretty colored border around the entire box. What we have to do is take the images outside the box, but that means no more pretty colored border. If this is okay with you, than keep reading.
That is the first part of the code. Just in case some of you don't know what all the numbers mean, let me give a short explanation. In this case, 720 is the box width. #020414 is the background color, #afc9ff is the border color and #f2c7c6 is the font color.
What you are going to have to do (Or you can ask nicely and I will do it for you because it's not really that hard) is put center the header image and then put the box code. You're going to change the BORDER color to match the BACKGROUND color. Then you need to fiddle around with the BOX WIDTH until it is the same width as the IMAGE. For Cailet, it ended up being 698 instead of 720. You want to do this because if you don't change the width of the box, it will stick out past the image and look weird.
Finish the box code and then place the footer image after it, and end the center/ Now your box code should be centered. I hope this helps.
So... {center}{img} IMG URL {/img}{box=Blah,blah,blah,blah} {indent} Text goes here {/indent} {/box}{img} IMG URL {/img}{/center}

I made another one that doesn't belong to anyone. If someone wants it, feel free. I just wanted to see if I could do it again with a sort of bald woman. There's a matching Avatar.

"There's a place that I go that nobody knows where the rivers flow. And I call it home. And there's no more lies. And the darkness is light. And nobody cries. There's only butterflies."
Colour: Light colours such as blue, gold, and white. If possible I would like it to be bright and strong without being overly cheerful.
Design: People seem to gain great results by letting you have free reign, so I'll do just that alongside with vague guidelines to give you an idea of his 'theme' so to speak! Talen is a warrior, but his true calling is being a guardian, someone who keeps others safe and fights for them. He's a simple man, and no magician and without any grand quests in his own mind. That's the "theme" I'd like it to convey, if at all possible.
Model/Images: I only found out the model's name a long time after I used the picture. His name is Colin Smirz, and his style has changed from the picture that I have been using of him. Here's a few useable examples: OneTwoThree - Same as Avatar
Thanks a bunch! I absolutely love several of the ones you've made, and it brings me great comfort to know that you wouldn't be annoyed if I were not to use the one you do. Because you never know if what you end up making fits with the picture in the other person's head. Aesthetics are hard!
Colour: Reds, dark blues, maybe some foresty greens
Design: I'd like to give you as much creative reign as you want. I love what you've done with everyone else, so I feel like you could probably direct me better than I could. Wrenmae is a storyteller, for him...the story is everything. He's a practiced Hypnotist, a Manipulator, and a marked of Vayt...mixing any or all of those into the design would be excellent.
Everyone else in the Sanc has such pretty boxcodes! I need to keep up with the beauty of everyone else's posts!
Include your Character's Name: Riki Stormheart Include any phrases or sayings you want on the code: My earthbound heart is heavy. Your heartbeat keeps things light. Give me some idea of color: Shades of green Give me some idea of the design: Very natural looking. Possibly foresty or leafy. Provide a model name or some images of your PC: Andrew Vanwyngarden (I prefer ones where he has his bandana but if you find ones that work without it, I am good with that too)
Thank you so much for your time!
If Riki is speaking in this color he is speaking in Pavi. If Riki is speaking in this color he is speaking in Common.
Please note I had to add some conditions to these Box Code requests to thin them down a bit:
"If you want a box code done, I'll work on it for sure so long as you are over 50 posts and have a variety of colored images for me to pick from to use. I can color some black and whites, but it takes a lot of effort and I need to thin down some of these requests somehow. So please don't submit B&W unless you ask me first. I will normally say no unless they are really good images. In order to get something you actually want make sure you give me some idea of what you want."
I've also added a section on Avatars and Signatures. If you have had your post removed from this thread, its because you have poor B&W images (and I can't really work with them without a lot of effort) or you have under 50 posts. Feel free to post again if you get different images/avatars or you hit the 50 post mark. If your a veteran player with a new alt and no other alts, I'll for sure ignore the 50 post mark and do your Box Code.
