Will someone make a Shenmue Icon for me?

[DEMSUM]

So I'm a regular on the IGN.com message boards and it has came to my attention that every user can get one Icon loaded, and as the biggest Shenmue fan on the site I really want to represent with a cool Shenmue icon but I don't have the knowledge or skill to do it myself. Will someone make one for me or at least try to help me out? Here are the guidelines:

# 80 x 80 pixel size

# Must be on a transparent background (.gif). For all of you with graphics editing programs, the board background color is B1B3BC, if you want to make a nice anti-aliased edge.

# Must be less than 5k

# No personalized icons.

# Try to avoid icons that are perfect squares or cut off some of the image. We want the icons on the IGN boards to look nice, and we try to avoid boxy looking icons or icons that look strange because the image is cut off at a weird point. For example, if you cut the top of someone's head off, it looks silly.

# Avoid "assy" looking icons. Like I said above, we want the icons to look good, so try to avoid overly jaggy edges, unreadable fonts, etc.

Thank you so much for just reading this

P.S. my user ID on IGN is Dem-Mue

Hello Hellraiser ;)

[DEMSUM]

I'll personally make one for you, what character do you want for the icon?

Lets see currently they have these:

I'd like a cool Ryo one or maybe one that says "Shenmue" on it like the one I use now. Here is a cool pic of Ryo to give you an idea. (Kinda big I know, but this is all I have!

^^ Awesome, if no one else makes one I'll use that Ryo one!




P.S. If I use it I want to credit you for it, who sould I say made it?

Thanks

No prob! I like to help fans out whenever possible, if you want to give me credit then just say the webmaster of Shenmue dojo made it.

Hey Hellraiser, check out the icon I think the background is a little off is it possible to change it?

Ill take the Lan Di Icon!

Hey what the hell, the sig that the administrator of the site wont allow it because its too big. I think the sig size requirements should be loosened, im serious. :o

[Sonikku]

I think the dojo has a 100x100 pixel restriction, which is far more gernerous then the 80x80 restriction of Ign.com. Of course a avatar can be even bigger if your linking it off anouther site.

[Jeff]

I dont have photoshop, if I could shrink it I would. :(

[Ziming]

Ok this color should blend perfectly, to be frank I don't see a differance from before. I made the background color match the left side when the avatar is actually in place.

[TaoLishao]

i was bored so i made an avatar anyways. its a little too big though so you can crop it if you want to (it doesnt really follow the specifications but, eh)

[DEMSUM]

Thanks master Tao, I can't use that one for various reasons but I'll save it until I can find some boards that will allow me to use it

Too bad its not the right size for these boards, I'd use that one for sure!
