CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE THANK YOU
Welcome to "Vanilla Twilight", my graphics shop. Please, feel free to browse and shop! Though I'm not open twenty-four/seven, I'll be of service as much as I can~ Thanks for stopping by! <3 i. welcome ; directory ; rules ; links ii. history of graphic making ; what i do ; currently available iii. reviews ; faqs ; mentoring ; partners iv. request forms v. save vi. save one } Follow all Forum rules; this should be a given. If you don't know them, look them up. I don't want anything wrong on this place to get my shop deleted.
two } Be Patient; I take my time when I create graphics and code. I hate being rushed, and I would appreciate it if you didn't bother me with questions on whether or not if I'm close to done or working on your request. I'm sure you don't mean well, but me as an artist, I despise anyone pestering me to rush a masterpiece. Also, I am not always on a computer to work on requests. If I am currently unable to work on a piece, and you are not willing to wait, please by all means retract your request and go somewhere else. That's totally fine with me. Ninety percent of the time I'm on my phone, and though I'm rusty with coding on mobile, its hard, and I can't make forum graphics on my phone. (Book covers are an exception.)
three } Provide with Own Images; please. This helps me a lot. And nine times out of ten, when you put "whatever image works" or make me have to try to decipher your chosen theme to even try to think of what you want, it ends up a fifty-fifty chance of you liking it or it's not even close to what you want. So, provide all images you want me to use, and be clear on what you want. If it's literally slapping words onto a picture, I won't do it. I make (or try to) high quality graphics, and I don't make things simple.
four } Nothing Inappropriate Please; I would really want to keep this place PG13 and following the rules. No gore, not too bloody things. No r-rated things. Nothing that shouldn't be on a children's forum, even if the majority of us are 17+.
five } One at a Time; meaning, one request at a time. If you want a banner, don't ask for four at a time. Only exceptions are headers and layouts, because that requires multiple/all of the above.
six } NO PLAGIARISM; AT ALL. Do NOT take anything that doesn't belong to you! If you want to use a premade, you ask first, and then you give me credit. I make my own things, I use code like everyone else, but I will know if you took my things. Do not do it, or I won't hesitate to report you. Plagiarism isn't only rude and inconsiderate, it's illegal.
seven } Once I think of more rules, I'll add them here, but if you think of doing something and it's wrong, don't do it? Common sense helps a lot.

I've been making graphics for a long time. I've been making terrible things on MSPaint, making "transparent" banners by copying the background color and using that, because I didn't know about the fancy sites and apps and what transparency was. I was a noob, okay.
Then, I've played around with SumoPaint then pixlr, and that's where I do some my work now. I don't think my laptop can handle GIMP and I'm broke af to get PhotoShop lol. Pixlr works for me, and I do wonders with it. I constantly learn tips and tricks for it, and every time I make something, I get a little bit better [:
Now, I use this program called 'Affinity.' Link to site. It's an amazing thing, both Design and Photo, and I have them both. I'm learning new ways to use them, but that's my current go-to for graphic making.
As for coding, I've basically learned how to code when wcf switched to hoopla. I didn't know a solid thing on how to work html, but ever since, I've been playing around and I make all the code I use for my layouts. I'm not an expert, by any means, but I'm pretty decent.
To sum things up, I've been working on graphics and layouts for quite a long time n.n I use a multitude of sites, mainly Pixlr, to create a specific look ~ banners The typical pieces of graphical art at the top of most threads, stating the name and subtitle(s) of the thread, providing a good image of the page.
gif banners The same thing as a normal banner, but as a gif. If desired, you can have a png of a faceclaim(s)/thread 'icon'/etc over it. [examples one and two]
dividers A pretty linear graphics that separate posts on a thread.
headers Used for layouts (and can be requested by themselves) that label each post on a thread.
graphic layouts Layouts that have "all of the above" in everything; coded posts, dividers, headers, banner, and anything extra that is wanted (such as stamps / 'direction'). These take a long time to work on, and the most patience; it takes me a good day, if i have the time, to make an entire layout.
coded layouts Layouts that are strictly just code; fancy fonts as headers, pretty code and dividers, and even a banner if you want~. These don't take too much time as graphic layouts, but I try to add a bit of extra to make up for the lack of images.
fanfic covers (wattpad/fanfic.net/etc) These are for any fanfic you are writing, whether it be on here, wattpad, fanfiction.net, etc. Since this would count as outside-the-forums, you must use the outside credit I provide. These are 1920x600 (to edit) sized images that serve as a 'book cover' for whatever you're writing.
signatures Single image signatures that are a respective size so to not crowd your post. They will be only one image result, made with whatever you want.
coded signatures Signatures that are strictly code; since this might overpower the 500 character limit for signatures, these will either be copy and pasted solely after typing your post OR pasted along with coded text posts.
text posts A pretty set up of code to give your replies some flare. They can be simple, or with an image as a background, and any other little personal style you wish.
stamps I call these little guys 'stamps'; they are a 120x120 sized graphic made up of either a brush or a dingbat (image) font. They are served to be a cute little something for signatures, layouts, text posts, etc. - banners - dividers - headers - fanfic covers - signatures - text posts - coded signatures - stamps

Tᴏʀɴ Fʟᴀɴɴᴇʟ - ✽ } I love Bucky as a person first of all. She's super nice and I enjoy her company. Vanilla Twilight is amazing and she never ceases to amaze me with her graphics. She's my favorite person to get graphics from. Not only that, but she gets it done fast. 5 stars to Vanilla Twilight and Bucky! [★★★★★]
screen name } review review review [#/5 stars]
screen name } review review review [#/5 stars]
screen name } review review review [#/5 stars]
screen name } review review review [#/5 stars] "What program(s) do you use?" I use pixlr (editor and occasionally o-matic) mostly, but sometimes I use picmonkey, pizapp, online image editor, and a few other sites -- sometimes to make one single edit.
"What's your favorite part about graphic design?" Well, I personally love art; I used to draw a lot, but I haven't had much drawing muse for a while, so I just use my pent up artistic need to make some graphics and such. I kick on some music and get lost into editing. I sometimes make things for my friends, and I love how surprised they get at seeing the edits lol. So, I usually really love seeing people's reactions to their edits [:
"Do you have any good tips?" Just practice! It took me at least five years to get to where I'm at lol, it takes a lot of trial and error to get what you want.
"Can you teach me how to code and/or create graphics?" If I'm open for mentoring, I can teach you d:
[questions that are asked will be put here] I am closed to mentoring an apprentice! Just know that I am not always on a computer to provide screen shots and step by step guidance because I cannot see the site itself (and one would think I know what the site looks like after spending seven years working with it lol). But I'm willing to mentor up to one or two people.
My only requests are as follows: - I only teach pixlr, and later on if things go well, you can 'graduate' to the other sites I use to work with - Since I teach only pixlr, you must learn it. I will not teach GIMP, Paint.NET, PhotoShop, etc, because I do not use those - You must be ACTIVE enough to learn; active enough to have a few guidance tips/lessons a week - You must listen to learn; getting frustrated and quitting and giving up is useless because that's a poor way to get out of things -- if you want to learn, you gotta try many times to get it right
Learning how to make graphics will take time! And patience! And if you wanna learn some of how I make things, then it'll take a good while of patience because it took me forever to get to where I am.
I'm excited to start working with you [:
CURRENT APPRENTICE: none If you wanna be partners, feel free to send me a link! (Or, a link back button to your shop, either works )

Hello! I want to order a banner for you, but, before I do. I hope you don't mind me asking a few questions. Sorry. ^^" Would it be possible for you to do a non normal rectangle banner? Like one that is spliced or splattered or something fancy like that? I'm just curious. And two, would it be possible of I were to give you two separate images, could you combine them in a way so that one sits on top of the other? (like hoe you did you Bucky one for your den/chat?) Thank you. Sorry to bother you.

Awesome. And yeah, that's what I mean. Would it be possible to not do the gif part but still have the overlay of the person on the image? I hope I'm making sense. Haha. XD

Okay. Please let me know if I need to add/fix anything. >///< BANNER screen name: Nightambush color theme: Forest green, dark gray (almost black), white, and a light green. (I think a shade close to Maka eyes from Soul eater) title: I'll follow you into the Dark subtitle: Will you survive? preferred font/font style: Um, maybe something like VTKS URBAN TIME or Code Predators, or something in the style that gives off a Dystopia or Apocalyptic feel to it. Some thing cool yet easy to read. suggestions: Could you make the banner either a splattered shape or a sliced rectangle, like on one side have it so there are three skinny bars? PNG: preferred image(s): add image here

I will not be very active this next week. I'm sending my computer out to be fixed, but I should get it back no later than the 29th. I might be on a bit on mobile, though, so I will not be able to do any graphic training. (That is why my laptop kept crashing last night.) sorry .
