Loveless' Outlet Venue: Edits, Graphics and Code

...Another banned person. šŸ¤”

Anyways, hey guys I think I'm gonna pseudo-close the shop for a little while, my depression has been kicking my ass and I'm a bit behind on responses for things. Sooooo, you can still request things but I won't deliver them as quickly as before, might take me around a week or two instead.

Of course, if it's something urgent I may make an exception and tackle it as quick as possible, but yeah...

I'll open it back up full force once I clear my queue and reorganize myself. Thanks for understanding, see y'all around o/

I'm mostly used to Modern-Fantasy and things with some level of Slice of Life to them, though I'm willing to try anything even dice RP. I do think my fight scenes read a bit odd though, it's a work in progress... I also have a penchant for Comedy.
Welcome to LOV~!
This is the place where the unskilled, impatient and/or confused come to have me, someone who has waay too much free time and enjoys messing with code and graphics, make their RP needs and wishes come true! SO fire away, give me things to do, the sky is the limit, folks!​


What I'll take as requests: As long as it's not Character art or writing requests, I take anything. I'll give you a head's up if your request sound too far beyond my skill repertoire or just literally impossible...

What I'm used to doing: Image edits (from simple color changes, backgrounds to even more complex ones such as altering/covering radically a part of it), Removing backgrounds (To when you need your image to be a transparent PNG), IC headers and making signatures.
For BBCode I stick to a style I call 'Minimalistic but pretty' meaning the code isn't suuuuper complex, but it looks nice. Mobile and theme compatibility is a guarantee.

What programs do I use? For those curious, I have: Paint Tool SAI, Paint.NET, Medibang Paint Pro, GIMP2, Photoscape, Inkscape and Photoshop CC to my disposition, plus a lot of online tools and mobile apps. (RIP my phone). I just think all of these have something they do better than the others, or they have more/different filter/text options.


Things I need to know:
  • What you're requesting: (Picture edit, make a signature, maybe try my hand at a banner, etc...)
  • The idea: Give me a basic description of what's in your mind and what it is for. If it's an edit tell me what you want changed, what color, etc...
  • Dimensions? Sometimes I can get a feel for these from what the request IS, sometimes I cannot. Just so there is no mistake, if it's a banner or a signature or something like that, please give me some pixel dimensions to work with. Disregard this if not a graphics request.
  • Feeling of the product: This one is a bit harder to convey, but like, what am I supposed to feel when I look at the final product? This is helpful towards choosing fonts and colors when your basic idea is something ampler and vague (example: make a background, IC post header...)
  • Urgency of the request: I'm going to queue these with priority and complexity in mind on this very same post (or the next).
  • OPTIONAL: If your request asks for some text, already choose a font and a color for it. It's the type of thing that will help me a lot if you bring it figured out, but if not, it's okay.
If I feel like I need some more specific information for your request, I will make you more questions!

Things YOU need to know:
  • How long does it take? It depends, but there have been things that, from the moment I started them to its completion, have taken me 5 hours without any breaks. Last CS I coded took me an entire day of work non-stop.
  • Work ethic: I am an annoying perfectionist with these things. This means I won't be done with it until I've considered it passable and I will make you little progress reports if I feel like I need the requesters' input on something. (Even if you said something like 'I trust your job' and just let me do my thing, I can't help it)
  • When will you start? If you don't give me a date or say it's urgent, I will pick it up whenever I find free time for it, normally in-between roleplay responses. I'll let you know when I start working on your request!
  • 'All of your examples are Anime and illustrations, can you edit actual photos for me?' Yes, I can, I've actually done it before. Don't guarantee it will be as good as the rest of my edits but I'll certainly do my best with it.
  • IMPORTANT: This is a hobby and a motivation booster more than anything. I don't want it to get in the way of actual writing. It's supposed to aid it not replace it, please have that in mind and be patient. (I have a life too!)

Boop!
I've updated the OP with more recent examples and I'm now taking BBCode requests since I've gotten better acclimated to the differences in-between names and functions that they present on different websites u.u

To do list: Maybe make the OP look more inviting by throwing some code in there when I have the time...
 
Bump! Still doing these! >w<

Hi Loveless! Are you able to take this picture

latest


And combine it with this?
a625fab548af6dc8b535b8719dccff36.jpg


I just want the skull to be transparent, but still visible and big enough for the base photo.

Ive tried so many times, Im not good at photoshopping at all.

Can definitely do! I'm just not sure of where exactly do you want me to put it? Would it be by the center where the character in the middle has his hand out? I need a little more instructions on that if you can >w<

Also, just the skull or the letters below it as well? : O

EDIT: Transparent skull, so I'm guessing like a watermark, right? Something with less opacity, so you can still see-through? Would it go in the right upper corner then? Seems like a good spot for a watermark
 
0ef42fb6d1adcc9d8ac0236cf1125660.jpg


Try this one first as an overlapping watermark that covers the photo but as you said, has less opacity than the base picture. I would like to keep Cerberus ODST in but if you can manage the rest, that'd be awesome. But if you cant expand it that much put it as a smaller watermark right above his arm that's reaching out. If you can't do this image, refer to my original. I like giving people options so I found a second one that kills it. I think the rd will pop and stand out its the black and white I always have trouble with. ^^

So,

1.) All words if possible, if not just Cerberus and ODST.

2) Full width of the image; if not manageable a decent sized watermark over the fore guys left shoulder.

3.) Id like to keep the colors red and black; but if you find more suitable colors please be my guest and try them out.

Can't wait to see this get done!

Ohhh cool! I see~
The only issue with re-sizing things it's that depending on how it's done/the new size, the original quality is lost, that's my quarrel with it and something I'd like to avoid the most as possible, so I'll see what I can do!

Starting right away, should be ready by tomorrow sometime in the afternoon, I'll keep you posted! o/
 
I hate to bother you again but, would you happen to know how to make a fieldset with a background picture and text? I'm not used to this site. I looked at the BBCode list up top, and they show you how to make a fieldset, but not one that I am wanting.

How good are you with BBCode? I haven't tried it yet, but in theory it should be possible to have the fieldset in a div, overlapping a second div that has a background picture set. Either that or have a div inside the fieldset, in a similar way.

Not suuper hard to do, but tricky. Overlaps are tricky.

Oh! Brain spark! Could have the fieldset inside a div that has a set background-image!! Easiest way to do it, I believe...


Anyway, here's your request done. (Wanted to have it ready earlier but I'm sick with a bit nausea ^^') I couldn't decide between the options so, option one is exactly like you requested, option 2 is like the hand is reaching out for it and option 3 is just a normal watermark on the corner to not block anything:

And here's a transparent logo in case you ever need to use it again >w<

Let me know if you want a different position, or more transparency or something else and I'll get to it as fast as I can! o/
 
I love them all, but the third one is just perfect! Even my friend liked it, says he might hit you up. Thank you very much!

As far as BBCode is concerned, I know just enough to be passable; simple things really. But I was looking through your character profile set-ups And they were really well done and I saw the one with the blue background with the floral motifs and it got me thinking that it'd be cool if I could do something like that for a prologue and opening post.

That was the image was wanting to use, so I thought I'd ask since you seem really good at these things. >.<

You're welcome! Thanks for spreading the word, I'm recovering from a bit of a dark time in my life, focusing into my mental health and stuff so I honestly have a buuunch of free time and sometimes I get bored. So, these keep me motivated and engaged. I'm glad they're picking up because I was really giving up there for a while, thought this kind of service just wasn't needed anymore ^^'

I was very excited when you showed up with a request for me >w<

Yeah sure, we can do this in various ways. I could just give you the code and walk you through it either through PMs or even discord if you'd prefer that, or I could just alter it myself based on what sort of information you need on it.

Option One, I'd be teaching you how to at least read and alter it to your desire. Option Two is basically a custom code tailored to your own project.

If we pick option two, it would be good to know all of the things that would go on it (Since you said both Prologue and OP, I'm thinking of incorporating the tabs in the design, one for each) so I can best accommodate all the information. The one you see is a CS and not even a very detailed one so the design is done around that and won't necessarily work for something different.

Giving me a color palette to work with or a mock-up of the desired layout (like a quick drawing to use as a guide), could help but it's not obligatory, but an overall feel or theme is definitely appreciated~

Aww, hun, you should never lose hope. My cousin recently passed because she hung herself from the banister of her two-story home. A friend and I had found her. I can understand being frustrated with life and being fed up with a lot of things and its like life is dragging you through the mud by the hair and you're helpless to stop it. But, never lose hope. I'm going through a lot myself not with just her passing and funeral; there's a lot of things I want to accomplish but simply can't because I lack the means. And, not to preach to ya or anything, its times like these that I turn to God and I just vent. He may not verbally respond but I've seen things turn around. So don't lose hope, don't l whatever is bothering you to create darkness inside you. You seem to be very kind and I'm glad to have met you.

Sure, my Discord is Seta Soichiro (TheMidnightSin) #512.

I think that'd be our best bet; it's constant, well, nearly. And if I have any questions or get stuck I can just chat you up. I do have short term memory issue due to a traumatic brain injury that nearly killed me--so if I ask the same questions, I apologize beforehand. It takes a bit before the information is transferred to my long term memory where it sticks. I think me doing it on my own would be quite beneficial because then I can learn how to do it and so I won't be harassing you to make cool artsy things. Rotfl. But we can go over how to tailor make it. I always enjoy challenging myself and learning new things, you know?

I'll be adding you shortly and yeah, that's the good part of learning to do something yourself, it's quite fun! I picked all of this up from scratch, mostly on a whim. I just wanted to make things cool and pretty, so I threw myself head-first into art, graphics, and now coding! Sometimes it's hard and frustrating but quite satisfying to get an idea done >w<
I love it~

EDIT: think you ate a number off of your Discord Tag ^^'

I still do these! Currently, have a GOT-style 5-banner request that came to me by PM, but nothing too urgent~
Note to self: Do an announcement banner for this thread later this week
 
Is this still open for one of those fancy looking DIV code roleplay posts where you can scroll through the text without the need to scroll the website page?

Yus! We're always open~
So you like the hidden scrolls... Is there a layout you'd wish me to add them to, or is this a request from scratch? What's it that's on your mind? >w<

I was thinking about something simple like this one.

Obviously not exactly like that one. You can play with the colors to give the DIV some uniqueness? Donā€™t use bright colors, though. They give me headaches. Hereā€™s the layout of the rest of the DIV box I want so desperate, but Iā€™m sadly too stupid to understand coding:

FOR THE HEADER

179964
Azrael Blackthorn
Time - | Weather - | Location -


I want the header to be exactly like this, with all those colors and fonts (the font name of the name is Permanent Marker, and the font name of the yellow text is Indie Flower). The picture is right there.

FOR THE BODY

Nothing that hard, really (yes, kind of funny because Iā€™m here begging other person to do it for me. T vT Iā€™m just that stupid with codes, okay!?). White text and with the Indie Flower font. And thatā€™s it. I would like to be able to color myself the dialogue of my character, though (I think I still can do this, but just pointing it out just in case).

A LITTLE EXTRA
Can you please add the small box at the bottom of that DIV box I sent as an example? That will be really nice. Just add the Mentions, and Interaction, and leave the Location as it will be already at the top.


Thatā€™s it! This is everything I want, really? I will be really, really, REALLY thankful with you if youā€™re able to do this for me. Iā€™ve been trying, but with only failure. Please, help me!!! T vT b
