Hey everyone!

So, I've been around here awhile, and I've already done a few photoshop edits for other players around Mizahar. I really love doing it, it's a lot of fun, and it's something I can waste time on when I don't feel like posting. Sometimes I just randomly do it for the halibut, even if it's not for any character specifically.

Before, people would either track me down to ask me for favors, or I'd jump in and just randomly offer to do some picture edits. Now, I'd like to officially open a request thread for everyone!

Remember, this is photo manipulation only. I can't really do posting templates or character pictures by request. I'm not going to go hunt down models for your character; you're gonna have to do that on your own. But! If you give me some pictures to with, just let me know what you want done!

I can't perform miracles, but I can make your character's model look more like you intended for Mizahar. I can add horns, or scales, maybe even wings for a Zith, or I can do minor things too, like tweaking eye or hair color. Whatever you want! Don't be shy!

Some edits are harder than others, so I may not do requests in the order I receive them (putting horns on an Eth is a lot harder than changing someone's eye color from blue to green). Some edits are just too hard for me to do, like adding arms to your Eypharian, or making Gossamer-style Charoda (don't even know HOW she did that one).

Here are some examples of things I HAVE done!

Stuff I've edited. :

One last one! I can't find the original picture I used for this, but here's an Akvatari I whipped up for fun. It's not for anyone's character, this was just to amuse myself. xD

I've done more but I'm tired of link hunting now, haha. .-.

I have been admiring your work with adding gorgeous horns to Ethaefal for a while now, almost as long as I've been trying to figure out how to add a few scales to my Konti character's picture without covering the entire picture in a scale pattern or making her look like she has fish skin. If you have the time and opportunity, I would love if you could find a way to add a line of light-grey scales across the top of her forehead. Here is the picture I'd like modified. Some scales on the sides of her neck would be great too, but not strictly necessary especially with her hair sort of covering her neck anyway.

Thanks so much, and please let me know if you need anything. I really appreciate your offering your photo manipulating skills like this for us Photoshop-unskilled players!

How's this?

Also, I did up a second one. Konti have white hair, but it's not required for character pictures to be spot on. If you prefer your model to be blonde, that's certainly your choice. ^_^ But just in case you like her with white hair, I also gave her that.

Ooh, nice! Thankfully, the Konti wiki page says that the Konti can have pale blond to white hair, which was a relief to me when I started using this picture, because I couldn't figure out how to lighten her hair further without making it look awful instead of awesome and cool like your version. I really like the white hair, and I will probably use that picture now instead of the blond one. The scales on the neck are great, too. So, thank you!

If I may be a tiny bit nitpicky, though, would it be possible to darken the scales a little? I've been describing them as pearl-grey in my posts, so I was hoping they could stand out a little more. If that's not possible, it's totally okay, and I will be happy to use the second picture as is. :)

Oh derp! I guess they can be blond. Either way, to avoid flooding this thread with pictures, I've swapped out the first picture in my previous post. If you like the other one better, it's still in my photo album here on Miz.

I changed the filter for the scales, so they look a little different, but they're more gray than before. Is that better?

Hey bro,

Can you alter Lynnea's profile picture? I'd love to have some Konti scales added. Here is the original picture. Thanks so much! You're a PS genius.

Sincerely,
Will

P.S. Thanks for Volans' horns. ;)

Thank you as well! I really appreciate the improved Kontification of my character's picture.
