Quiz Questions:

1.) Can you use images off of www.flickr.com? If so what’s the proper etiquette to use images from there?
Answer:
Yes you can but you must use the creative commons license and follow the artists rules.
2.) Are all images from www.DeviantART.com available to a personalizer’s use? Explain why not if you answer no.
Answer: No. Some artists produce photo manipulations that aren't allowed to be used, other photographers have brilliant art that they want to keep to themselves. Stock images are allowed to be used, but you must follow the artist's rules.
3.) Will you be able to fill at least 2 orders a month here at Imagine That?
Answer: Yeah, probably more

***If you want me to supply more/better cuttiing and smudging samples, let me know.

I just wanted to know if anyone is going to reply.... I see other apps being reveiwed. Sorry I'm just excited

[katielovesyouツ]

Hmm, odd. I JUST checked the applications yesterday and this wasn't here. Did you submit it to the wrong spot and another mod moved it?

Anyhoo, try locking transparency when you smudge the body. It'll keep the lines nice and sharp and will avoid things going out of the sides and looking awkward.

I like your lighting in 'In the Midst of the storm' and 'Kyra', by the way. I know you said you like doing light images more, but the dark ones look good, too!

I also like your blending in the grass, always a nice little thing to know!

The textures... I'm not too fond of, honestly. I don't use textures, which I admit is definitely a bad thing, but when you do use textures and practice with them, you can get them too look very nice. Try lowering the opacity on them, especially on Darius. The texture makes it look blocky, so I'd try something smoother or get rid of it altogether. Textures are very nice things to use when practiced and done nicely, but sometimes they make an otherwise nice image look strange.

I'm... going to go with trial. But you'll have to wait for one of the administrators (either Zo or TheZombie) to tell you if they want you to go on trial(we don't deny people straight-out) or just accept you.

I know being on a trial to be a personalizer sounds like a bad thing, or like you don't need it or it won't help, or even that it'll be too hard, but it really DOES help a lot, and it's really not hard. Take it from someone that was on trial before they were a personalizer and before they were a mod. ;D

And, I'm not the best, but if there's anything about IT or manipulating you need help with, I have like no social life and I'm almost always on every day, so you can shoot me a PM and I'll try to answer your question as best I can. =)
