Custom Sprays
I AM NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW SPRAY REQUESTS. Sorry!
PREVIOUS COMISSIONS:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTICE:
Since starting this thread I've received a few requests from people asking me to do some kind of free design work, other than custom sprays. While I appreciate that you like my work and would think to come to me with these kinds of requests, I need to stress that I get a lot of requests like this each week from family, friends and work associates and I simply cannot afford to do them all free of charge. Graphic design is how I earn my living and I have a strict policy regarding freelance work which I need to maintain for my own good.
Anyone is free to approach me with a request for my services beyond the free stuff I volunteer to do, but please understand that I must charge you as I would any other client. I'm willing to offer a J2 discount of 50% off all commissions for J2 regulars who are still interested. I'm glad that you like my work and I appreciate your understanding in this matter.

Re: Custom Sprays
Thanks KoD. The background in those images is actually just a stock image from Google, and is only there for reference. Those sprays have transparent backgrounds.
Last I checked, sprays are limited to 256 square... I will ask that if you have requests for sprays that you try and flesh out the idea a bit... Do you want a "real" fish smoking a blunt (eg. a Billy Bass mounted on the wall) or do you want a graffiti style fish with some style?

Re: Custom Sprays
Realistic looking fish, cod if possible. Blunt can look graffiti-animated-like if that's easier for you to make.
If you want to make it in 256x256 that's great, I always request 512x512 though because there's always the option of incorporating that imagine into a map.
You can really put some zing on the fish if you want. If it looks like it's straight out of the harbour it's probably going to gross people out.

Re: Custom Sprays
That's the funny thing about working with picture resolutions, I always prefer bigger, if you go smaller then everything looks pixelated and you end up putting in more effort.

Re: Custom Sprays
I want a spray with my cloud avatar wearing a top hat and monocle, with a cane in one hand and with my in game name "Sir Aironz" in it. That would be sweet. and yea making it cartoonish is good.

Re: Custom Sprays
I always design big then downsize for the final spray. Sometimes this means that I end up putting too much detail into the spray that is lost at the smaller size, but designing larger is generally easier.neelpos wrote:That's the funny thing about working with picture resolutions, I always prefer bigger, if you go smaller then everything looks pixelated and you end up putting in more effort.

Alright Parasyte, I will love you forever if you do a Demoman wearing a turban (and whatever other kind of terrorist/muslim paraphernalia) and have it say [gHad] on there. Or perhaps a phrase replacing jihad with [gHad].

Here's a screenshot of your spray in-game...
If all looks good, let me know how you want me to send you the VTF file.
