Hoshi's Signature Shop [100% Custom!] *CURRENTLY CLOSED*

[Hoshimaru]

Recently, some stuff has come up and I'm not able to make signatures and avatars. If you'd like to keep your order in for when I do get back in the business (likely late July if everything works out), feel free to. Otherwise, you can cancel your trade and I'll remove you from the list after I get back to work.

Welcome to my signature shop! Though the title says "Operation List Buns", that's far from what I expect you to offer me! Nope, I'm going to work towards then with your help. XD Every pet I get (unless it's a WL pet or one I really like because, lo and behold, this newb hasn't seen everything yet) will end up in my Operation: List Buns group here, where they'll all be traded up until I complete my bunny collection.

Now, as a disclaimer, I'd like to state that, as far as I know, what I'm doing is completely allowed. I don't own the CS pet images and will NOT edit them any more than a simple flip here and a removal of name there. More information on what I will and will not do is included in the rules section.

1. I will only add art that either you or CS own to signatures.

2. Following this, I will only edit your art.
There won't be any major edits done to CS images. (This does not include simple flips and the basic things like that) I'll do whatever you want to what you own, though. Assuming you own the design or have permission to edit it.

3. Please keep the link to my thread in the signature code.
I want people to know where they got the signature from. You can, however, remove said link from the image code if you add a link somewhere else in your signature to my thread.

4. Though I will keep all the signatures uploaded to Photobucket, I would suggest you save them as well.
Bandwith limits might turn all the images into little "Hoshi went over the bandwith" images courtesy of Photobucket. XD

5. Send the trade with the comment "Signature Payment" or something along those lines.
I have a small IQ. If you don't spell it out for me, I'm going to think it's a free gift and accept it and then things will get messy. Why?

6. I will not accept any trade until I put the signature and/or avatar in the "Pick Up" section.
I will leave the trade hanging until I complete the order and you are happy with it.

7. Add anything you want to the form! (I like detail. XD)
The more detail the better. I love detail. Detail gives me a picture of what you want. Short, simple answers leave me guessing. XD

8. Please do not use anything I make for you off of CS.
Sorry for the inconvenience but I'd like to know where my work is being used and it's hard to credit someone on a site who's not a member of said site.

One Avatar One (1) Uncommon Rat, Spider, Horse, Butterfly Wolf, or Pony from 2010+ or 4C$
One Style One or Style Three Signature One (1) Uncommon Cat, Dog, Or Bunny from late 2010+ or one Uncommon "unpopular" species from 08 to early 2010 or 6C$
One Signature and Avatar Set or One Style 2 Signature One (1) Uncommon Cat, Dog, or Bunny from 08 to early 2010 OR one of the PPS Equimagines on my WL (minus the Roadkill PPS of course.) or 10 C$
One Style 2 Signature with an Avatar The price of a Style 2 Signature plus the price of an Avatar (14 C$)


Special Deals!

None at the moment.


If you want to negotiate a price or think my prices are unfair, feel free to post here or PM me. I'm still new to the business and think this is fair but I could be completely wrong.

For Avatars

Code: Select all

[b]Username:[/b] Username Here
[b]Ordering:[/b] Avatar
[b]Pet(s) you want included:[/b] Please include the images with items to make them editable (see FAQs post for help)
[b]Other image(s) you want included:[/b] YOU MUST OWN THESE OR HAVE PERMISSION TO HAVE THEM EDITED.
[b]Colors/Theme:[/b] Describe what colors you want used, what theme you want used, etc.
[b]Rounded Corners or Pointy Corners:[/b] Rounded corners (like in the Smile set example) or pointed corners that would make a square.
[b]Brushes you want used:[/b] Feel free to delete this and I'll use whatever looks nice. (Make sure brushes are allowed for commercial use. ^^)
[b]Other information:[/b] Anything else you want to add.

An Example:
Username: Hoshimaru
Ordering: Avatar
Pet(s) you want included:
Other image(s) you want included: None
Colors/Theme: Red and white
Rounded Corners or Pointy Corners: Rounded
Brushes you want used: I like the brushes you used in the Smile signature.
Other information: Could I have a white border? It's alright if that doesn't look right, though. XD
Also, I'd like the avatar to focus on the Jester's hat and face and include my username.

From this, I would make something like this:


I would include an explanation as to why the entire username wasn't included (It's way too big to look nice in pretty much any font shrunk down to fit into an avatar sized area) and as if you wanted anything changed. If you're happy, I'll send you the code via PM as well as stick it in the "Pick Up" section where it'll stay for a day or so depending on how many orders I have. After that, it'll be sent to the archives.




For Signatures:

Code: Select all

[b]Username:[/b] Username Here
[b]Ordering:[/b] Signature
[b]Style:[/b] Style 1, Style 2, Style 3, or show me the kind of style you want. 
[b]Size:[/b] What size you want the signature to be. You can be specific and tell me the length and width in pixels, give me something about the size you want it to be, or just tell me "big" or "small" or somewhere in between those.
[b]Should I Include Text?:[/b] If yes, let me know what to add!
[b]Pet(s) you want included:[/b] Please include the images with items to make them editable (see FAQs post for help)
[b]Other image(s) you want included:[/b] YOU MUST OWN THESE OR HAVE PERMISSION TO HAVE THEM EDITED.

[b]Rounded Corners or Pointy Corners:[/b] Rounded corners (like in the Smile set example) or pointed corners that would make a square.
[b]Brushes you want used:[/b] Feel free to delete this and I'll use whatever looks nice. (Make sure brushes are allowed for commercial use. ^^)
[b]Other information:[/b] Anything else you want to add.

An Example:
Username: Hoshimaru
Ordering: Signature
Style: Style 3
Size: Could it be about the size of the big part of the "Smile" signature?
Should I Include Text?: Hoshimaru And then in smaller letters, I'm just a clown to be made fun of
Pet(s) you want included:
Colors/Theme: Just anything that will go with the pet.
Rounded Corners or Pointy Corners: Rounded
Brushes you want used: Anything that looks nice.
Other Information: Could you use Viner Hand ITC font and use a white border?

From this, I'd make this:



From here, I'd send a sample image to you and, if you approved, I'd send you the real deal, accept the trade, and we'd go about our way. XD If you didn't, I'd edit the image to your liking.

[Hoshimaru]

What's a brush?
A brush is what I use in the background of the images I make. Pretty much, they're everything besides the basic bg color, border, and pet images.

Well, how do I tell you what brushes I want to be used?
Easy. You can either point out brushes you like in the example signatures or you can go to the sources listed in the credits to find brushes you like. If you know of another source that allows commercial use of brushes, I can use those, too.

Okay, but what about the pets? Why does the example show items in the corner?
The image you give me has a transparent background. The items so far away stretch the area that the background covers, moving the "-Username-'s Pet" bar far below the pet and make sure that all the items on the pet are included.

So how do I do that?
Look in the "Help" section for a very detailed description.

How To Make the Perfect Image for Me to Use in Your Signature or Avatar


Go to the page of the pet you want me to use.


Click "Add items to your pet..."


Add two items to the corners of the image so that the lighter area stretches far past the pet and any items you're actually using on the pet.


Select the image code, then copy and paste it in a reply and you're good to go~.

I'm using brushes from

Obsidian Dawn (known as Readheadstock on DA). Some were converted from photoshop brushes to GIMP brushes by Project-GimpBC

Archives will be here. Please remember to include a link to my thread as long as you use the signature I made you. XD It draws in some business.
