for more of my graphics schtuff check me out on PC or RcR as i'm Metallicar on both.
OR here's my gallery here, but it's quite old.

Custom Notes

PROCRASTINATION
i'm really bad at this so at allow me at least a month's advance. muse, pictures, inspiration, boredom, all that come into play. so, if you're looking for a quick hit it and quit it. i'm not you're gal. most of the time i get a sudden burst of inspiration and do the whole lumpsome of graphics that night. however, it's getting TO that point that i have trouble with. okay so maybe not a month but if you're excepting something to be complete in a week. please don't request from me. i'm never prompt even in RL.

i take no offense if you bug me about the progress. and i encourage you to do this actually.

DISCLAIMER
i tend to work better if there are some ideas you have for the way you want your site to look like, however, i need that sort of artistic freedom as well. so it's OKAY to tell me you don't like it.

SKINNING SITUATION
if you'd like me to help tweak a skin to your style taste i can help with that. but this means i need access to the ACP so, if you're okay with allowing me to access it and then delete my admin account that is perfectly fine.

from there i'll get in touch with you.
if you don't hear from me, that means
i'm not interested in taking the job on.
sorry.

I'd totally enlist you for something because - let's be real - I think you're totally awesome.

But, sadly, I can't start any boards because I'm going out of country to Guatemala at the end of May until the end of June. No idea what the internet situation will be like there (I'll find out on Thursday). And I don't want to just start something and ditch it for a month to go speak Spanish and drink. I know you say you don't have much of an attention span but if you're interested in helping out with an original Battlestar Galactica based game or a post-zombie apocalypse game (which I think I actually CAN make successful) you know... keep me in mind for two months from now if you're still bored and intereted?

:D

yeah, this was kind of pointless

Metallicar - April 24, 2008 08:16 AM (GMT)
lol this is my response:
one. you think too highly of me and it makes me giddy and snicker.
two. -fist pumps- hells yeah i'll be here. will be looking forward to it.

EDIT: POST 100! WOOT!

Lazarus - April 24, 2008 04:20 PM (GMT)
Hey Metallicar,

The board is in its simplest form, a Battle Royale RP. If you don't know what this is here is a brief explanation. A group of teenagers from two school classes aged between 15-16 will take part in the BR-TV program that aims to reduce the ever growing population by pitting the school kids against each other on an Island. They will be giving a random weapon and let loose on the Island with a collar around their neck that will go BOOM! If they try to remove it or go into a danger zone. So we are aiming for an action-packed board with plenty of death. I think that'll do.

So, I would be asking you to do the graphics on the board since my skills in that department are practically nil. This would include the skin, banner and the affiliate banner and perhaps make our sidebar slightly more unique-looking. Also if this idea interests you at all, we would love for you to become a mod but obviously that is up to your personal taste.

So far we have most of the board up, a sidebar that looks like most other boards sidebars. We have done most of the writing on the board but still have some more to do but it is well on its way to becoming ready for the public.

Any help is greatly appreciated! A link can be provided if you need it.

Laz



Metallicar - April 25, 2008 02:05 AM (GMT)
i can definitely help you out with graphics. lol one of the things i love about starting up boards.
um since the PM system is down.
if you want to send the board link through email. i can start helping.

\m/ rock on
BB

flawed.Perfection - April 25, 2008 04:36 AM (GMT)
tsk, I was going to shamelessly ask for you for graphics help. Well, if you aren't overwhelming busy with Lazarus' request, I'd love it if you considered helping with the board I'm currently admining on. It's an already developed LGBT roleplay board set in Canada; nothing over extravagant, plot wise. It's basically member driven, with a few subplots here and there. I guess we're going through a sort of revamp soon, or the other admin wanted it to be soon. I pretty make the graphics, but I can't, at least not now, because my computer isn't working properly. All we would really need would be a header, affiliate button, sidebar images, pips, and the little images that go in the member legend -- That's actually a lot ... xP


Metallicar - April 25, 2008 05:36 AM (GMT)
like i said to lazarus i can definitely help out with graphics.
so shoot an email my way of the link to the board since PMs are down.
PM me the link.
and i can get on it. ^ _^

I was wondering and hoping you'd still be able to help with my board graphics. If not, I completely understand.

oo1. what your board is about
This is the plot:
QUOTE
user posted image

    Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States. Once a marshy swamp in the 18th century, D.C. is now a tourist attraction. With a record of 20 million visitors a year, an eclectic array of people visit the already diverse capital. A location filled with key members of the law has become overrun with corruption, murder, and things only a sadistic imagination can think up. The war aboard has crippled our economy; and patriotism is at an all time low. D.C. has always been plagued with criminals but, as of this year, things have gotten worse.

    Many mafia groups have left big cities, like NYC and Boston, and set up base in D.C. looking for an easy takeover. The Russian mafia, led by the Petrovic family, has been celebrating their success in human trafficking and brothel business and in the trafficking of weapons. Vincenzo Adamo, the Italian Don, has not left his roots in New York City. Instead, Adamo and small contingent of mafia members are 'vacationing' in D.C. In reality, the Italian mafia hopes to expand their heroin trafficking and their political corruption ring. The Mexican mafia, led by Hector Cervantes, leads a business based on fear. The Mexican mafia is heavily involved with murder, marijuana trafficking, and extortion. They have a loyal and dangerous following inside and outside of the prison system. Dahnay Kefentse, the Nigerian Don, has been ruling the streets of D.C. Pumping illegal weapons and cocaine all over and slowly taking over many real estate properties all over. With their ties to diamond mines all along Africa, Dahnay is the biggest supplier of blood diamonds in the world.

    With these four mafia groups setting up in the heart of the U.S. Government, federal and local forces have started working round the clock to infiltrate said organizations. Many US agents have the home court advantage, but, for some, it's not enough. A crop of foreign agents from all over are being called in to help with the problem. The Secret Service has doubled their agents around the President, Vice President, and their families. Most citizens are unaware of the mafia threat, but the press is beginning to unravel the real truth plaguing D.C.


D.C. is about to embark on two wars: one on foreign soil and one in heart of the U.S. Who will prevail? Which side are you on? Choose wisely, or suffer the consequences

oo2. what you want me to do
I had a skin but it's been giving me some problems. I was hoping you could help me find a new skin and beautify the board with your awesomeness.
Also, if you're interested in the site perhaps you could help me create some canons, but that's up to you X]
oo3. what you have done so far
I have the forums up and the plot. I am graphically handicapped, so I need some serious help

*bows own* Help me god genius one!

SpazzyMal - April 28, 2008 06:08 AM (GMT)
I think I could totally use the help of someone like you if you're still open, Metallicar.

I'm working on a DC Comics based roleplay, and it's going to be very extensive when finally finished, which means, of course, I have to put in a lot of work on it to make it presentable. Because I'll be damned if I'm gonna half-ass it. XD

Anyway, having someone who could take the load off with graphics would be wonderful, since I'm not really the greatest in the world at that sort of thing. If you're interested in modding, we can talk about that as well, since I'm certainly going to need one of those.

I must admit I don't have much done so far, the board is still a little baby right now and I'm compiling the massive canon list at the moment, but I've got the skin something like 95% done, aside from the all-important spiffy banner, buttons, markers and sidebar graphics. The rest will come in due time, right?

^_^

Metallicar - April 29, 2008 01:02 AM (GMT)
PM'd both of you.
lol... i feel like a busy bee
since i'm working on my OWN boards as well.

so for right now i won't be accepting any more side projects for moi.
though if you REALLY want me to help... send me a PM my way.
from there we can discuss time constraints etc.

The Beginning - May 3, 2008 12:23 AM (GMT)
Hi there!

I would like to see if you can give me a hand with my board.

oo1. It's an alternate universe from X-MEN 1
oo2. I need help with the graphics, that means header, sidebar, ad graphic as well as affiliate button.
oo3. I've installed the skin, I have worked on the plot, application template and created some forums.

I would really apprecciate your help! ^_^

Metallicar - September 17, 2008 10:15 AM (GMT)
So totally edit that I'm just doing graphics now.
Because I realize that's where 90% of my enjoyment comes from making RPGs.
Will only be accepting two jobs at the moment.

samaside - September 17, 2008 12:53 PM (GMT)
WELL IF YOU INSIST.

I'D LIKE TO ANNOY THE CRAP OUT OF YOU FOR A BIT IF YOU'RE AVAILABLE. DO I COUNT AS ONE OF THE TWO OR AM I SPECIAL? BECAUSE ILU LONG TIME.

Kesra - September 17, 2008 01:02 PM (GMT)
Know anything about Simple Machine Forums?

Metallicar - September 17, 2008 08:00 PM (GMT)
Denny you don't count. lol.
Just point me to which one you want me to make graphics for.
Or both. But... yeah. That might be a bit much for now.

And Kesra. Pressure, pressure, pressue. I feel like this is a trick question. No...?

tisabby. - September 17, 2008 09:02 PM (GMT)
SO. I love your graphics! ^^ And I'd pretty much love it if you could help me out (graphics wise) with a Twilight site that I'm working on. I've got a plot outline, a skin, and I'm in the process of putting up the categories and forums, so all I basically need are graphics (i.e. header, sidebar graphics, pips, etc.). I have a little bit of graphical skills x] but I no longer have a program to make things, and I'm NO WHERE near to how good you are *feels like a failure* o.0

So if you'd like to help me out, that'd be great! (: If not .. you can just totally ignore my post xD

Metallicar - September 17, 2008 10:57 PM (GMT)
alright taking up tisabby's board graphics. so i can only handle one project more. aside from samaside's. lol

samaside - September 18, 2008 01:23 AM (GMT)
I'LL USE AND ABUSE YOU ANY DAY.

Kesra - September 18, 2008 01:52 AM (GMT)
My forum service is SMF (Because I can host it myself!) and working with the template requires some knowledge of PHP...which I don't have So finding someone like you who would also be able to skin for Simple Machines forums would be a blessing and I would be more than happy to host any project such a skinner would have on my web space.

Metallicar - September 18, 2008 05:19 AM (GMT)
lol denny of course - YOU WOULD.

Kesra - hmmm to be honest I would say I know CSS and HTML like riding a bike.
PHP is like swimming to me. I can stay afloat but I can't swim the English Channel.
If those metaphors make any sense.

blackcanary - September 18, 2008 05:48 AM (GMT)
I would love to be able to use your service in helping me tweak my Site. I'm trying and trying and trying, but to no avail to make it all gorgeous and mine >< So if you are up for just a quick tweaking, I'd love that.

If you want to do banners and sidebar graphics, feel free too, but if you aren't inspired, that's fine...I'm mainly concern with just the layout of the site, and the forums not being so wide.

Thanks for reading this =)

Kesra - September 18, 2008 06:01 AM (GMT)
Then I'd be totally honored if you would be my tech person for my role play. Between the two of us we'll figure out anything we need.

And again, in return, I will host any web sites, forums, etc that you need hosted (I have a TON of space)

Metallicar - September 18, 2008 06:34 AM (GMT)
0 samaside doing 'favors' for
1 tisabby. working on graphics
1.5 blackcanary working on skin

Kesra sorry if I sound a bit dense. after midnight my brain starts to shut down. are you looking for help skinning a forum or working out a template for a website... I'm a bit confused by that. I can do a template as well... I'm just making sure I know what I'm getting myself into here.

If you want to discuss this more about what I'd be helping you with. I can PM you with my MSN.

Kesra - September 18, 2008 06:56 AM (GMT)
Skinning mostly. I'd be just as happy to stick with the same template forever (It's a nice template.)

And yeah, probably best discussed over MSN
