Rista's Workshop

Welcome, lost soul, to this humble studio I decided to put up!

Here you may request things like

- Photo-manipulations
- Avatars
- Signatures
- And other types of art


Or whatever else your heart may desire that I can accomplish. If you want something that might be a bit tricky, feel free to pm me and we can talk about your ideas, to see if I am capable of handling them. Most basic pictures and signatures won't be a problem, but if you think it's very hard, I'm likely to think so too! ^^

While not a star in the field, I think I also can offer some basic CS held as far as coding goes; see the Character Sheets of Rista and Vileia for the level of my proficiency. ^^


- I will accept three (3) requests at a time, so please, if there are other people ahead of you just sit back and wait for your turn.

- I will post finished works here under a spoiler so that others may look at them and see whether they like my style of doing things.

- As I finish I will send a Pm to the person and tell them that I am done and that they can come and collect their fabulous new art.

- Most, if not all of the stock pictures will be found at deviantArt, and follow the owners rules about terms of use. All pictures will credit the stock owners - if you do not want the credit directly on the image, note me about it as you make your request and I will limit my search to pictures that do not require such use.

- Please do not alter the images given here on your own! If something is not to your liking, please talk to me and I will correct it to the best of my ability. Size changes will be done according to your preference and while adhering to the restrictions in size of the site.

- You may count on work to take about a full (7 day) week to finish - if something should happen that will delay me, I will notify you on this page or by PM. Please have patience, as I also have posting and RL to attend to :)


Open Spots:

1.
2.
3.

Done:

- Dania
- Alyeah
- Aidara
- Cailet

(So sorry for the time I took, Xnnn! Though thanks for the concern.. :))


I would like you to submit your request using the following form;

Type of art: Photomanip, Avatar, Signature?

Character Name: The name of the character that is to receive the art. You may surprise people! ^^

Race: If kelvic, name the animal!

Gender: Quite obvious, I hope :) and if it isn't, tell me! I'll try my best to make it interesting.

Age: Perceived age - if they are 3 years old and look like 16, say 16 yo.

Appearance: What they look like. Things like hair and eye color, skin tone, hairstyle and also what type of clothing they may wear; just basic, so I know what kind of pictures to look for.

Special Requests: If there is something you would want in the picture, like a pet or a scenery, a line of text or anything that makes the picture special.

Collect Code! :
Code: Select all
[b]Type of art:[/b]
[b]Character Name:[/b]
[b]Race:[/b]

[b]Special Requests:[/b]



For those of you that would like help with Character Sheets, please send me a PM and we can talk about what you would like, in terms of layout and colors and so on. Don't be shy, I won't bite! Not hard, at least.. :P

Wasn't sure exactly how red you wanted it, so you get to pick ^^

Image
I know you said green and brown, so if this isn't to your liking, don't hesitate to tell me and I'll whip up something different for you :)

Image
Uhm.. yah. Here you go. If you hate it, please tell me and I'll remake it and make it better. :)

Type of art: Signature
Character Name: Cailet
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Appearance: Here are some pictures I used for her.
Special Requests: I've tried to make my own signature, and I like the idea that I have behind it... I just don't think I executed it well.

The name of the Model is Rachel Dashae. This is also her Deviant Art. Most of the photos are her, with some other random models thrown in. You dont HAVE to use her picture in the signature, but just in case you need them.

The theory behind the signature is just trying to express that Cailet is a Night Stalker, as well as haunted. She can talk to the shadows and her little Ghost friend, and revels in the secrets of her city Lhavit and of those who live within.

If this is a horrible request, just tell me :D

Preview for Alyeah's CS Request



My comments :
Hi there! This is what I've come up with for you so far. Please look through it and see what you like and what you don't like; there's bound to be plenty of both! ^^ Which is good, since its your CS we're making here.

All the pictures are temporary, unless you really like them of course, in which case they will stay. I'm also thinking that it's best that you add the information yourself, so you know how it's done; the codes easily begin to look messy once there's a lot of text in along with it, and it can be difficult enough anyway. :)

Let's continue our discussion through the Pm, ok? ^^ When we're both satisfied with the result, I'll post the finished code for you to copy and paste on your own CS.

Training
Here you can list the skills you gain. I'll provide you with the table, and then you'll have to find your own preferred way of organizing things. :)

If you want to add more columns, just place in a new | and it will fix itself automatically. You will have to add them to the entire table though, otherwise you get blue boxes.. that in a way can be quite charming. ^^

The first color code is for the table,
Second is the color of the lines between and surrounding the table.

Hey Rista!

We've chatted a bit in the cbox - mostly about your Myrian Ethafael :D

Somehow, despite my intentions to make a Myrian, a Svefra slipped in ahead of him :P So, as I totally blow at grfx and coding, I was wondering if I could entice you to make me a lurvely CS ? Here are the basics:

Type of art: CS
Character Name: Will Blacktide
Race: Human (Svefra)
Gender: male
Age: 20
Appearance: here is a link to the face (his name is Danny Schwarz)

http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kzkuwhCZWm1qap30ko1_400.jpg

though I don't know that you need his pic for the CS? Or do you? Can I just insert his pics into the text part of the CS? The pics I use will probably be B&W.

Special Requests: My hope was to create a CS that reflects his ocean heritage, so ocean/sea scapes, clouds over the water, sailing vessels (maybe details up close, or very far away, as there are not every type of modern sail craft sailing about the Suvan Sea :P. Or throw in some beaches/ bonfires on beaches/etc - anything Svefra-like, or keep it abstract if you think that works better, I'm easy :D And as I said his pics (that I use) will most probably be black and white.

If this doesn't make sense, please send me a PM to this account (Xnnn)

Thanks!
Dan

I need you again!

Are you adept in changing the color of hair and making it not look like a baby took a crayola and just scribbled on the picture?

I'm simply wanting to change Addy's avatar but my model dyed her hair brown. -Pouts-

Here is the image, I just need to have more of a red hue than completely brown.

Lucy! :)

There are a lot of seamless backgrounds to find if you Google a bit. I can try and make one for you, but first I think I'll show you some of the ones I found while looking around just a little bit. ^^

Text here

If you want to look around on your own, just try and search for Seamless Background on google or some other search engine, and you should get a lot of options to choose from. If you still can't find anything, do come back and I'll gladly help you out and try and make one myself. :)

If you do want one of those I found here, just right-click on the frame and choose "Show background image", and you'll see the original picture and be able to collect the URL.

Good luck ^^

Hey Rista!

This is Xnnn :) I went ahead and threw together something pretty simple for Will here, so I can relieve you of at least one request :D But thanks for agreeing to do it - and hope life settles down for you a bit soon. ;)

Cheers! Dan
