Graphics by Duchess

[Duchess]

Welcome!

If you're looking for something different, you've come to the right place!

I house the creations I've made on my website (The Gallery of The Duchess). Please feel free to check them out if you need some ideas.

Things you can request from me:

• Avatars
• Signatures
• Web Banners
• Logos
• Userbars
• Affiliate Buttons/Banners
• Custom Emotes
• Tile Backgrounds
• Website Buttons
• Rank Icons
• Desktop Wallpaper
• IM Client Icons (AIM, Yahoo Messenger, etc.)

These are just the main things that I make or have made in the past. If you don't see what you want on the list, ASK ME here in the thread!.


Rules of this thread:

• You may request on other threads, even if you have requested here. I don't care how many requests you have in at other shops. Be aware, however, that other shops have their own rules. If you have a request in somewhere that doesn't allow double dipping, then you'd be breaking their rule requesting from me. Keep in mind that if you request exactly the same item from me that you have already requested from someone else (or vice versa) I will likely refuse or cancel your request. There is no point in taking up artist's time making the same item more than once.
  
  
• Although I usually complete items in the order they are received, sometimes someone will request something that will be VERY easy and quick to complete. In this case, I may go ahead and complete their request, first, just to be able to remove things from the list. Please do not get upset if I do this.
  
  
• If you decide you no longer want the request (for any reason), please post here and let me know so that I don't work on it after you have decided you don't want it.
  
  
• Requests, questions, comments and chit chat about graphics, only, please. Anything else will be considered spam.
  
  
• My website has request forms on it that some of you have already used; please do not request here AND send the same request through the website form. One or the other, only, please (I honestly don't care which).

My graphic policies are as follows:

• You MAY post the link I give you.
  
  
• You may NOT claim your graphic to be your own work.
  
  
• You may NOT take the image and make changes to it without my permission.
  
  
• I am NOT responsible for any copyrighted images/backgrounds/fonts/etc. that you request.
  
  
• I reserve the right to refuse your request without explanation.
  
  
• You may NOT request more than 5 items (unless you've gotten permission from me, first).
  
  
• I will NOT pay for something you want for your graphic.
  
  
• I retain all posting rights to the graphic.

Reasons and full explanations of these policies can be found here.

Tips for Requesting:

Be Specific - The more specific you are in your request, the more likely it is that you will get what you were hoping for. If you tell me you want a "castle" in the background, I need to know if you want a real picture of a castle, a clipart picture of a castle, a fantasy castle, a dark haunted castle, a medieval art castle... be specific!

Be Helpful - I won't always know who a character from a particular anime that is out of production is unless you show me! I won't always know that you hate pink and that you don't like the look of script letters unless you tell me! Sometimes, you'll have to help me find a picture you like or choose a font that you like. Don't be afraid to give me lots of information.

Be Polite - Keep in mind that I am doing this for free, in my free time. Demanding things or insisting that I finish something in a particular amount of time (or before others that have requested before you) will not get you anywhere and will likely only get your request cancelled.

Be Honest - If there is something you don't like about something I've made for you, you need to tell me, so I can change it, for you. I won't be angry that you didn't like something I do; I promise! I would much rather that you are happy with what I do for you, than only feeling o.k. about it because there's something you don't like and you don't want to have to tell me.

Be Patient - As I said, I make things in my free time and I have requests from other sites, as well. My list of requests sometimes gets veeeeeeery long and, in the middle of the week, when I'm busy, it might take some time to get your request to you. Because I work in my free time, I don't know when I will be done with something, so I can't give you an estimate, but, rest assured, it WILL get done, if I tell you I'll do it. The weekends are my best graphic times.

On with the requesting!

Hope you don't mind. I copy&pasted from a person I PMed about a month ago now, for a request that didn't fulfilled D: Hopefully you could change that

I would like a standard-sized sig (or as large as it can be by NW standards), split in half. 1st half, I want a pic of a Wii in it, all white, with my friend code at the bottom of it, 3689-9319-4475-5072. Half of the code could be at the top; other half at the bottom. ^_^

2nd half could be also split in half, if you know what I mean. Top half could have a Smash Ball in the background, but could somehow be orange-ish or something like that. Catch my drift? ^_^ Oh, and put my Brawl code in there as well: 4124-7999-8302

And lastly, the bottom half of the 2nd half will, of course, be of Mario Kart Wii. Now, I don't care where you go with that, but I do want that background to be blue, with (you guessed it!) my friend code here as well: 3437-6051-7635

Font white, and you could fade the colors, that'll be nice.

Ok...Phew! Sorry I'm demandin what seems like alot O.O If you need more info, I'll subscribe to this thread and see if you ask anything; orr PM me. Thanks ^_^

[Duchess]

I don't think that was demanding at all; I appreciate the amount of detail!

I think I know what you mean and I'll work on it tomorrow (right after I work on Arwen's), but if what I do isn't what you were thinking, don't hesitate to say "No, that's not what I meant!"

(P.S. I love your avie)

[Duchess]

This is just a quick update for those of you waiting on graphics; my job let's out early, today (hooray for early release before a holiday!) and I'll be spending the afternoon working on my graphic requests, so you should have them by late afternoon/early evening.

Thanks!
