[QUOTE=doukeshi03]I was just wondering if anyone would be able to help me with something. I want to know if anyone can help me with tidying up an ink drawing I have scanned into my computer. It looks fine as it is I guess but the edges and such are a little rough. I just wanted to know if someone can help me, using photoshop or paint shop pro or something.[/QUOTE][color=#30415d]The Art by Request forum can take care of that. All types of artistic requests are permitted. ^_^ Topic moved.[/color]

[color=#30415d]Whichever you prefer. All are accepted, so it's up to you which one looks best. I've submitted crayon and colored pencils in additon to just pencil, and they look fine. Topic closed.[/color]

[quote name='Tix']Wow, lovely banner you made there...[/quote][color=#30415d]What's lovely about the banner? What parts of it inparticular make it look good? Is there anything that needs improving? How can they make it better? What should they use for future banners? If you haven't answered these questions, then your post is spam in this forum. I suggest you read the sticky on constructive criticism before posting again.[/color]

[color=#30415d]The Majin, a few of your avatars are missing a border, and they are somewhat pixelated. That's a very important point that James made that I would like to stress: make sure that the quality is clear. ^_~ Also, James, I've noticed that one or two of the avatars that you put up are under the max dimensions, such as Jay-Z: Gangsta under Music. Also, the added Cowboy Bebop avatars don't look very clean. :/[/color]

[quote name='maladjusted][color=firebrick'] Sorry, but I'm calling this contest to quits. It's not much of a contest if two people are participating...I'm very sorry if I've upset you guys, but still you deserve a pat on the back for your great art and participating in this contest.[/color][/quote][color=#30415d]Aww.. I was really hoping that this contest would pan out. It seemed like a great idea, and you were going about it very nicely, unlike other contests I've seen lately. You were organized and clear. ^_^ *pays his repects to the thread before lashing down with his vengence and sealing it forever*[/color]

[quote name='Chabichou][color=#004a6f']I'm just wondering, since some of us are actually attaching avatars and there is a limit of 5 attachments per post, can we double post if we have more?[/color][/quote][color=#30415d]No. Double posting is always unacceptable. If you really can't find another server to hotlink form if you want to upload more than five images, please wait for someone else to post first before posting again.[/color]

[quote name='Ryoko T.D.C.][color=blue']Shippo, you are very good at this stuff! Really! I still have the first one you ever made me! I worship you oh mighty Shippo. *grovels at your feet* I'm not worthy of your greatness.[/color][/quote][color=#30415d]Remember, constructive criticism. ~_^ ([url="http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=32738"]click[/url]) Very few of your posts lately have actually went into specifics about an art piece, and you'll need to read through the rules a little more.[/color]

[quote name='Chabichou][color=#004a6f]I'm just wondering, do the avatars [i]have[/i] to have a border? Also, can we make them [i]below[/i'] the size limit?[/color][/quote][color=#30415d]Yes, they have to have a border, as outlined in the opening post. And no, all avatars [b]must[/b] be 150 x 80. No bigger, no less.[/color]

[color=#30415d]I don't think we're going to get much more out of this topic, if at all, lol. In fact, I'm not sure why I even left this open. I'm sure that there are tons of sites with tutorials on kissing if you look hard enough. Topic closed.[/color]

[QUOTE=MarkM]There not very good, but hey I tried. Its only letting me upload 5 files... -Mark They are all from kingdom hearts: 1. Riku 2. Unknown ememy 3. Sora 4.Goofy 5. Rikku I'll add more soon.. -Mark[/QUOTE][color=#30415d]I'm afraid that we cannot accept any of these; none of them are 150 x 80 pixels.[/color]

[quote name='GoldScorpion78']I know, two posts in a row. But I have a good excuse! I made two others, almost the same but higher quality and different backgrounds.[/quote][color=#30415d]Granted, but why not edit your post and upload them there?[/color]

[quote name='Spike88']I would like a new Sesshomaru avatar too. The one this site provides is kind of weak. I was wonder if someone could get me one with a dark background and his picture.[/quote][color=#30415d]If you would like to request your own avatar, feel free to use a new thread. ~_^[/color]

[color=#30415d]This thread is in serious need of cleaning up. Now.[/color] [quote name='FirePheonix727]That's your [i]first[/i'] try? Dang, it's good man! The background is pretty interesting... OK, so I'd give it a... 8.5? I don't know... I guess there's better out there, but still a very good job in my opinion.[/quote][color=#30415d]You need to expand on the feedback for this banner, rather than basing the post around your rating and how you like it. The only thing that I see as constructive is when you say "The background is pretty interesting", but even then, you didn't explain why you thought that way.[/color] [quote name='Keiji']It's as good as good gets with X. You wouldn't mind if I used that in a sig would you?[/quote][color=#30415d]I see no constructive criticism here at all. Any questions off-topic can be asked through PM.[/color] [quote name='G/S/B Master']6.5. I don't really give a damn if it's your first time. Banner from a first timer is no more different then a banenr from a professional.[/quote][color=#30415d]You probably could have worded that a little nicer. ~_^ Try to keep a positive attitude about someone's banner, or else the person will disregard your entire post, and maybe even retaliate. You are all in need of improving constructive criticim, which you should have read in [url=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=32738]this thread[/url].[/color]

[color=#30415d]I kind of have trouble believing that you drew something like that. If you did, then why would the edges around it be so pixely? Wouldn't you have taken as much care with them as you had with all of the other lines? And even so, I imagine that someone with such an advaced program that allowed them to draw this would be able to save it in such a way that there wouldn't be any pixelation. And if that isn't enough, why didn't you finish off the foot i the corner? There are simply too many things that you can take into account. Although I do not have the power to ban, I can assure you that OtakuBoards is not going to permit fraud on any level.[/color]

[color=#30415d]Mhm. If I were to come into this thread without reading anything and clicked the link, I'd be almost sure that you are trying to promote your site. But I know this is not the case. ;p In the future, if you wish to show your pictures, please link directly to them, hotlink, or upload into this thread. It's rather annoying to have to shift through a website trying to find what you want us to critique. This time, I'll link them for you. [url="http://www.freewebs.com/catoman619/art.htm"]http://www.freewebs.com/catoman619/art.htm[/url] Note: This was the only way the link seems to work. But it's better than trying to have to find this page, lol. Oh, and please remove one of the images in your signature. We only allow one. ~_^[/color]

[quote name='platinum']Very nice.[/quote][color=#30415d]Welcome to OtakuBoards! I suggest reading through our forum rules, more specifically regarding constructive criticism in the Art forum, whereas we'd hope you would put more detail into your comments than this. :)[/color]

[quote name='Hells Fire']Since Duorocks told me to post I shall post my opinion on former Presidents. Why are we still guarding former President? I can see guarding ones that no one likes, but who wants to hurt a great guy like Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton*snickers*. I say the only ones who need guarding are the ones that know one likes *cough George cough*. We are spending tax dollars defending these guys but why? None of them have done anything worth them needing defending. Oh wait George Bush did raise taxes and Bill did boink Anna Nichole, I mean Monica whateva her name is.[/quote][color=#30415d]And how exactly does that have anything to do with the banner? O_o[/color] [quote name='callmegoddess04']::gapes:: Your good. Reall good. I like the Elektra one. Who's it for? Your real good, duorocks17![/quote][color=#30415d]I reccommend reading our rules, specifically on constructive criticism, before posting in the Art section again. ~_^[/color]

[color=#30415d]It's really rather small; I can't make out what it is exactly. Might you have a larger picture?[/color]

[color=#30415d]I'm just going to make a quick note of saying that you only need to make one thread. Two is unnecessary, and the other was deleted. ~_^ Just be more careful next time.[/color]

[color=#30415d]Hm, I'm starting to wonder whether it was a good idea to assume that many of you have seen Cowboy Bebop, heh. That being said, I honestly didn't do much with the images. In fact, they are mainly screen shots. I simply wanted to show you my idea of using different "commercial pictures" from different episodes in this random image thing where a random one of the six comes up whenever you go to a page with my post. ;p I just thought that was a pretty cool idea, and ran with it.[/color]

[color=#30415d]It's complimentary to wait at least a week before requesting a new banner and avatar combination. This way, even if you may not like the banner that you currently have, you show respect to the one who made it. Topic closed.[/color]

[QUOTE=Kintaro]:nope: As another alternative is it off-topic O_O. When I started the answer I spent some time looking for the rand function in php to help you. Can't you lock the topic then ? Besides some people use "search" functions and maybe they want to use the code in PHP on their own pages...Sorry again but I really think your moderation is a bit too rigorous. That's a real pleasure coming on your boards you know...[/QUOTE][color=#30415d]This thread is about the banners that I made. I don't see one instance in your entire post where you even mention my banners at all, and hence, you are off topic. The random script was a very small portion of the topic to begin with, and it was solved before anyone had a chance to post. If you think my moderating is too rigorous, I hate to think how you'll deal with other moderators outside of this forum. ~_^ I've been [i]very[/i] leniant on your behavior so far, and should have assumed that you hade read the [url="http://www.otakuboards.com/rules.php?"]rules[/url] from the beginning, and then penalized you from there. If you stick by them, we'll have no trouble at all. And by the way, they aren't my boards. I only work for them. I can garuntee that we aren't looking for people to come in the first place if they aren't going to read the rules and make an attempt at following them. ^_^ PM me with further questions or comments.[/color]

[color=#30415d]This was an extremely general thread, and I wasn't quite able to find the discussion behind it. If you have drawings that you want critique on, please feel free to post them up.[/color]

[QUOTE=Kintaro]All right so this is not html but CGI, that's why I couldn't find it...and your pics are hosted by somebody else then. In case you want to host your own pictures and your host do not support CGI, here's the php function, very simple:
