Would you be so kind as to price something for me? Reply to this Post
Reply with Quote

I've spent some time admiring the avatar artists of Mariner's Muse and I wondered if I could produce anything worth selling, or at least using. Unfortunately I can't hand draw well at all, so I will restrict myself to cutting, editing and animating. Yes, animating.
I downloaded Gimp 4 days ago and have been playing around a little, producing basic avatars.

This is basically what I came up with, could anyone price this for me please?

Wow, thank you, I didn't expect anyone to price it that high. I guess I'll see how varied I can make them. Then maybe I could sell some.

Anyone want to be my guinea pig? Reply to this Post

3 people agreeing on 10k. :D
I was thinking this would work great with someone who has many portraits, possibly of different poses. I'd like to try another avatar, are there any volunteers? It'd be free of course.

Great, thanks Omega.
Any idea what you want done with it or should I just do the same as mine? Any details you want included, let me know.

I'll do Omega's first then get details for yours.

For future reference to anyone else, I won't make any more free ones unless I open a shop.

And call me Duck guys, I may just ignore everyone calling me Evil. :P

I'd suggest slowing down the progression of the background. Too much motion can get annoying, and can distract people from reading the forums. You wouldn't want backlash from that.

Thanks for the advice, I slowed it down twice. Which is better?



Omega I've started your avatar so if you do have any details, 'll work them in or make 2.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm, one question, are those backgrounds googled or did you make them? Because here is the pic of the ocean. And All it really is, is putting a portrait infrount of a background and making it a gif image? 10k...?

Yes Instantflash, the backgrounds are googled. I did state in the OP that I couldn't draw well at all. Perhaps it's the animation, I haven't seen too many animated avatars about.

I won't be doing any more freebies, sorry. Thanks for commenting anyway.

I'd like to point out that at no point did Duck actually ask for 10k. That's what his potential customers priced his avatar at. And y'know what they say: A thing is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

Mate, the point is you came here criticizing my avatars and the price that others, not me, have said they are worth. Why would you do this? If you don't think they're worth this much, tell me how much you think they are. That's what the other 3 have done. If you have an improvement to offer, go ahead. That's what Silver did. If you want to come on here, insult my avatars, then take the piss when someone comes here and defends me, just bugger off. You're not welcome.

These are pretty cool looking but i suggest that the buyer should be able to choose the backgrounds that they would like.

After they show you their portrait, they would list three topics that they would like their backgrounds to be. Then you would go on google and do your mad searching.

That was the idea. ;) That's why I asked Omega for details, though I don't think he's watching the thread. I'm nearly done with his, I'm doing two versions; one using just one portrait and one using both. I guess I'll have to PM them to him.

 
That's a really good idea! Personally I think these are kinda fun!

Thanks! :D

Edit: So as not to double post.

So as I'm still learning to use Gimp, I looked at some tutorials and learnt to do this. Comments appreciated. :)

Nice job. You should get jasc animation shop 3. It's so easy for animation! Or when you get used to doing them you could invest into photoshop, by far better. :)

But well done. :)

Flash took what you said and changed it to what his (moronic) point was to be.
The flames are not animated, though now you ask I'm going to try animating them.

And I'll do you a freebie. Tell no one.

I've finished Omegaking's avatar(s). It took longer than I expected, it's end of term here and I had a few things to do.


I couldn't decide which I like best so pick any one. :)
Hope you like it.
