Hello and welcome to my pet profile shop! I recently got back into making pet profiles and figured I might as well open a shop. :)

Live - My Own Pets Symphony - Butterfly Bruise

Live - Finished Commissions Attached - Chomper - Disfigure - Dark Link - China Ling - Maddigan - Halloween Jack - Shasti - Renagade - Zirah

Finished Commissions NOT full quality! I clearly need a new image host for these. Plead

Instead of charging based on number of text boxes, features, etc my pricing is mostly based on what you bring to the table. Please note that there will be extra charges for anything super complex, if that's the case I'll let you know once you post your form. Things only start getting into complex territory when you're asking for over five text boxes or tricky things I've never tried before, stuff like that. But please don't be afraid to ask for some crazy thing I've never done before! I'll more than likely be happy to try.

I do not accept items except for Magical Keepsake Boxes, even wishlist items, unless specified under Slots. Paying with MKBs bumps your profile up on the priority list. Bribe slots are an exception to this rule, as you're allowed to bribe with whatever you want to try.

Tier One - 3m or 15 MKBs You provide all images, fonts, etc that I need.

Tier Two - 3.5m or 18 MKBs You provide three things that I need.

Tier Three - 4m or 21 MKBs You provide two things that I need.

Tier Four - 4.5m or 100 CSC or 25 MKBs You provide one thing that I need.

Tier Five - 6m or 100 CSC & 1m or 30 MKBs You provide nothing that I need.

Same-Day Service Your profile will be completed within 24 hours. If you do not reply promptly to questions, it is NOT my fault if its not done in 24 hours. If some sort of emergency happens you'll be notified ASAP and will of course not be required to pay the extra fee if I can't finish your layout on time. If an event starts while a 24 hour slot is ordered, please understand that lag makes it VERY hard to code and its likely I'll have to drop all same-day service requests. If this happens you won't have to pay the extra fee. Tier One - 3m Tier Two - 3.5m Tier Three - 5m Tier Four - 7m

  • Absolutely NO Google images. Just because a photo can be found with Google does NOT mean it is free to use. Photographers deserve as much respect as all other artists. If you want a photo to be in the layout, it must be free use stock from some place like deviantART or be a photo I've taken. If you want me to use a photo on my dA, just ask! Most are available to be used, and I also have a lot of photos not on dA. I'll always look through official Subeta art and my photos for images first. Photos I will not use for profile making under any circumstance include photos of my son, family, friends, dogs, and crafts. Most self-portraits will be off-limits, but I might be willing to use certain ones.

  • When ordering, keep my style in mind. I make Treasures huge - always. I love working with large images, especially photos! I love hover effects, I always always use them! Its fine to order different things, but if you don't want my "usual" you need to speak up! Its totally fine to want something that isn't my normal, and I'm very willing to try it for you, but I won't know that's what you want unless you tell me.

  • If you have something specific in mind, tell me in your form. Don't wait until I start planning things out and coming up with my own ideas. If you want something very specific, say so. That's what the form is there for.

  • Don't be impatient. Unless you've paid for same-day service, your profile will be completed in my spare time. I usually have a lot of spare time but I do have other obligations. If I get a USD commission, it will automatically go to the top of my priority list.

  • Do not edit my graphics. If you want something changed, say so! Never feel like you're being a burden or annoying or upsetting because you want a lot of tweaks. I know exactly what its like to want your pet's profile just right, and I'm more than happy to keep tweaking! I save PSDs with many layers so editing is very easy - trust me!

  • Do not edit my coding, claim my coding as your own, or use it for other layouts. If you need something tweaked, ask! My coding pet's name or color might shorter or longer than your pet's name, which will change their positioning a little. If it bugs you, I'd be happy to fix it. If you edit the coding yourself, screw it up, and need me to fix it, there may be extra charges.

  • Save everything to your computer. I keep all graphic PSDs and coding saved, but sometimes things happen. If you lose your graphics/coding and I don't have them, I cannot help you unless you order an entirely new layout. You can re-order the same one you had before but you'll still have to pay for it. I highly suggest saving everything before you even touch your pet's profile.

  • Update you credits. If you provided things I might not remember to update the credits. It is your job to make sure they're correct if you provided things. If I provided things and forgot to edit in credit, just let me know and I'll get you the links.

  • Pet Spotlight related fixes are completely free. If your pet is rejected for the Pet Spotlight, post in the Pets forum to get an experienced opinion on what needs to be tweaked (I cannot help you figure out what is wrong). If its something about the profile coding, I'll fix it for you ASAP as long as I have access to a computer (which I always should) - even if my shop is closed (temporarily or permanently).

Want to make sure you know right when slots open? Join the ping group!

Please note that I do skip around. Even if you have 24 hour service or top priority, I might work on another person's graphics while waiting for a response from you or something like that. Other times I just might need a bit of a break from a certain profile or some time to think about how I want to proceed with it.

I've completely fallen in love with your photo Ocean II. Would you use that for a profile for me, and if so, is it extra? And when you say "provide fonts", do you mean a link to a downloadable font or a certain type of font, i.e Cambria etc? I'd love to get a profile off of you, they're beautiful! :)

when you have slots where the person does not provide anything, does that mean you can do overlays as well?

I could definitely do that! And it wouldn't cost any extra since the photo is already taken. And yep, that's what it means. Providing a link to a font on like Dafont is perfect (you can also just describe the sort of fonts you want, but that doesn't count as you providing them).

-tree I can do incredibly basic overlays but not really anything specific. Like if you wanted a black and white Angelic Kumos or want a Sweetheart Kora with brown, I could do that. But anything more specific I can't do. And if I do have to do an overlay for you, it'll cost extra.

@//shortaxel Oh perfect! I love that image so much. I'm not exactly sure how I would want it placed, what shape it should be etc. I adore the multi-tab layouts, where you have buttons for story, treasure, etc. I was hoping you could do one of those? Anyway, onto the form!

FORM Basics Username: Pet Name: Disfigure

Pet Info: Disfigure is an American soldier who is deployed to fight in Vietnam. Although he was quite the patriotic gentleman back home, when he discovers the lush jungle of Vietnam he feels like a completely new person. While fighting the war, he gets a facial disfigurement from bomb frags. While he's recovering, he falls in love with Jung, a Vietnamese woman who is helping to care for him. As time goes on, he falls in love with her, too. His disfigurement never comes into it. But when he is marched back home, his wife won't accept him back into her life after what has happened to him, as she is something of a social butterfly and needs to look good at all times. He loves the ocean and it's something that he will always hold dear to him (hence that beautiful photograph!) A worn out look for this profile would be perfection- sort of like those tea stained maps you do when you're studying about ye olde times and stuff!

Overlay: Here Additional Art: None, sorry!

Profile Set-up: I've not got any specific ideas about placement, but I want it to be long and vertical, rather than a scrolling page. I don't really like it when pages scroll down (for some reason, I don't know), so if that could be avoided as much as possible that would be great! Sort of like Butterfly Bruise's, with the text box butted up... But you can place it however you want- I want to give you creative reign! I would love love love it if you could do the tab type profile with the buttons on the top and then the text box below. I'd need tab sections for treasure, story, extra and then the page with the overlay, minion and spotlight spaces. I don't know if that makes much sense but play around with it a bit. :)

I'd like the titles of the buttons to be: "A War Journal" (text space), "A Journey (text space), "Mementos" (treasure) and "Soldier" (where the minion, SL and overlay will be!).

Anything Else: Thank you! ♥

Yes or No Stats: No Minion: Yes Friends: No Treasure: Yes Pet Spotlight: Yes

Tier Info Number of Text Boxes: Two (more info about that in the profile set-up section!) I also would love if you could do this, off-white with the cracked effect to make it look like parchment? Don't worry if you can't do that!

Font(s): This font for the buttons / tabs whatever you want to call them, and his name along the top of the banner or wherever you want to put it. I'd like the default typing font to be Georgia, 9px.

Background: I think plain black would be fine- as I'm going to have the beautiful image and the text boxes, so it's going to be beautiful! Although I do love the "cracked" effect you have on Butterfly Bruise. Maybe somehow incorporate that? Grey would also be fine!

Other Images: No other images. :)

Colour Scheme: Army green, green in general- trees, leaves, village life, orange, brown, white, grey, black, blue, off-white, red.

I hope you don't mind but I added in "colour scheme" too, just to give you an idea of the kind of colours that would suit. But you don't have to use those, I just added them in to give you even more of an idea. As his overlay is green and orange, it might be nice to incorporate something to do with those colours, but again... it's totally up to you!

I hope I provided enough information... If you want more, please just let me know.

I would also like to do same-day service! I was wondering what tier I fall into with this form? :)

Edit: I have a feeling I've jumbled everything together and it doesn't make much sense, eesh. I basically want a vertical layout, with tabs. I need four tabs, (titles are in the form!) each for different sections, either running along the top of the profile or bottom, whatever looks best. I'd love you to somehow use Ocean II in the profile- make it a circle, a square, a banner, whatever you like (you get creative reign with image placements!). The text boxes need to be white or off-white (parchment coloured) and cracked (but only if you can do that!)

I think that's a good summary.... I hope anyway!

EDIT EDIT: I just looked at your DA and I've found a couple more images that would work really well given the setting that he's in:

link one link two. I think those would work a lot better given the colour scheme suggestions actually... Sorry to dick you around!

That all sounds great! I'll be able to get started tomorrow, as I'm just about to go to bed.

The profile falls into Tier One, so it'll be 2m. You're wanting the TC to be in the same box as the story, right? I've never done that before so I can't guarantee same-day service, but I'll definitely try! If I'm able to get it done within 24 hours anyways, no extra charge. :)

Lovely! I just edited my post as I've been poking around your DA and found "jungly" photos and as much as I love Ocean II, I think those would be far more suited! I've linked them in the post though so you can easily grab them. :)

If it's too much to try and code the TC into the same box, then don't worry about it! I'm perfectly happy to have it on the side or something, but I'd love it if you could do that. If not, a hover TC would be perfect (if you can do that)!

Lovely. Thank you so much and have a nice sleep! (It's 11am here, haha!)

Basics Username: Sheik Pet Name: Dark Link Pet Info: He's (best I can describe him) a clone of the Hero of Time, and he's sent to stop him from saving Hyrule. He was created by the witches Koume and Kotake, everything in his life is controlled by the witches, except his thoughts... He's slowly gaining control of them, along with some small motor functions here and there. He's resentful, hateful, and yet, he's hopeful. Hopeful that he can break free of this torment and wreak havoc on those that have controlled him for so long. Overlay: http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb51/kayleighmarie65/Dark-Link-triforce_zps9be28371.png">Overlay. I don't know if it's transparent, but I'd like it to be. If you'd like, I can have make it transparent. Additional Art: -- Profile Set-up: I'd like the pet image in the bottom-left, the name, species, etc. underneath, and invisible until you hover over it, the description in the center, in a scroll box. His TC in the upper-right. Can the background of the boxes just be an opaque grey-ish colour? Clear before you hover (or just barely noticeable) and then a grey-ish tone? All boxes hover, so they're all barely noticeable until you scroll over them. Anything Else: I'd love it to fit the screen, so there doesn't have to be any scrolling to access any of the profile.

Yes or No Stats: No Minion: Yes Friends: No Treasure: Yes Pet Spotlight: Yes

Tier Info Number of Text Boxes: Two - one for the description and a small one for the credit. Font(s): Ariel is good. Silver font. Don't need anything fancy (unless you can think of a font that would go better with the profile Background: I'd like this image, a stock image used all over the internet from the game (if this counts, it's not a photo taken by someone, it's an image taken from the game) as the background. Other Images: None that I can think of.

I hope this is possible; I'm HORRIBLE at coding, and I'm getting frustrated... Haha.

@ yak Oooh, I forgot about those photos! I can easily change the photo(s) in the layout at any time, even once a graphic has been finished, so its no problem!

I'll poke around and see if its possible while I throw together a set-up image for you. I'll let you know once I find out.

That should be doable! :) I'll get a set-up image for you shortly.

Is it okay if I use this for the background? Its much bigger so it should fit more monitors. I can crop away the thing on the right that isn't in the image you showed. Otherwise the version you provided would work better as a graphic instead of a background, because its small and doesn't tile.

Almost forgot. The overlay isn't transparent, so if you could have it made transparent that would be wonderful.

I believe this would be a tier 2 since I'm supplying everything...? Could I pay the extra 500k to make it a same-day thing? ^^"

Basics Username: Celtic Pet Name: Chomper Pet Info: Chomper is a base pet for the letters written between a couple, they're far apart and in love of course. So If you could make it seem like they're pretty worn out and tired but still romantic. Both letter writers have busy schedules. Overlay: He doesn't have one, so I would like just the regular Sweetheart Rreign placed there, transparent? I could do that if needed. Would it be possible to have it so if I get an overlay later I can change it? Additional Art: none Profile Set-up: (Either a description or images of how you want the profile set up. Where the minion, text boxes, etc will go. This is completely optional unless you have any specific desires for placing.) Anything Else: I'd love the layout to be similar to the one for the pet Attached. (But instead of the friends in that second box, that'd be a second text area)

Yes or No Stats: no Minion: yes Friends: no Treasure: yes Pet Spotlight: no

Tier Info Number of Text Boxes: Two Font(s): This font if you could, please. Black or something easy to see would be best. Background: This or this. Just which ever you think would look best! Other Images: I'd absolutely love you forever if you could add this in there somehow: PIcture (if it doesn't look good anywhere, don't worry about it!) and this one as the middle picture like you did for Attached, with the big heart picture: Middle picture. You don't have to use the whole second picture, feel free to crop it or whatever you have to. Color Scheme: basically pinks/greys/anything thats pretty mellow and not too bright at all.

If you have any questions please PLEASE ask!

How's this set-up? I'm going to mess with the colors of the photo a bit and then lay down some basic color scheme ideas next, if you like this set-up.

Where is the second photo from?

I'll get a set-up image for you here shortly, you can definitely get 24 hour service. :3

@/shortaxel That's perfect! Although if you can't tab the treasure chest, it could always go underneath the minion bit. Also what does the name look like in white? It looks perfect though!

Just thought about it and I love the placement actually. Can you do hover? I will pay extra for the treasure to be hover placed where it is!

I can definitely make the treasure hover! Do you still want it to the have the title or no? Here's an updated WIP with the treasure box hidden so you can see how the photo will look, along with the white name (and a preview of my color palette for prettying up the boxes since I forgot to turn the layer off, lol).

Can you do a little digging to see if you can find it again? I'd rather be sure before we use it. :)

How's this set-up look? I'm thinking I can put the pet image over the photo, above the minion, if you like that idea. Or I can move the side Story box where the Treasure is, make the side Story box Chomper's info (pet image, name, color/species/owner), and put the Treasure on hover over the Photo box.

Hmmm...I like the layout the way it is. Do you think you have the overlay be there when you hover over the picture on the left? The one thats there now.

And I honestly don't know how to find it again, If you'd like I could take one of mine a use that?

That's a brilliant idea! Why I didn't think of that I don't know, haha. I'll get started making the boxes nicer.

I'd appreciate that. :)

I'd glad! ❤ We can always try it with and without the title when its coding time if you'd like, and go with the one you like best! For now, here's a preview with a very lazy screencap of his TC to help give you a better idea of how it would look. Neither the TC or title would be visible until you hover but I think I'd try it out with a lowered opacity upon hover to start with, so I made them a bit transparent.

How's this set up? I found that Zelda font and I thought you might like it, if you do I'll download and use it.
