Give-Away Thread! -- Tags, Dogs, Trainings & more! Scroll down to find what suits you

---- Original post last edited -- 6:33pm PST May 20th, 2013 Updates: <ul class="bb-list-unordered">○ Added more Border Collies [ dogs ] - May 15th ○ Chat Trivia Announcement @ bottom of the post! - May 16th ○ Trivia Prizes Added - May 16th ○ 10m Trivia Prize Added - May 17th ○ Graphics on Hold - May 20th </ul> ---- Tags: CLOSED until further notice I just re-installed Photoshop onto my laptop and I need some practice. These graphics are FREE, although donations are thoroughly appreciated. The images take about 30min - 2hrs to complete, so please give me ample time to complete them. And until I really get back into the groove of making these things, it may even take me longer. I have school, work, and two ginormous doggies to take care of -- I can't be on the computer forever

They're not amazing. They're almost like little doodles - I'll call them "tags". But I would like the practice because a friend of mine is asking for graphics to use IRL... and I'd like them to be semi-decent :P Here is the form:

<span style="font-weight:bold">Text:</span><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Subtext:</span><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Font(s):</span><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Color(s):</span><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Size:</span>  (default = 500x200)<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Other:</span><br>

Fairly simple. There's not really much else I can ask for. Be as specific as possible if you already know what you're looking for though. Otherwise you're leaving it all to my own creativity. And that's not much :P Go <a href="http://www.dafont.com/"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">HERE</a> to find a font that you like. If dont want to go running around looking for a font, that's fine. I can pick one to use.

Dogs: Please limit to two per person.

All dogs will come as-is unless specified. Just let me know if you've bid on the dogs. They're pretty much free -- if you'd like to donate, I'm not complaining.

Chat Trivia: In an effort to revitalize the chat room, I'm going to throw a trivia night! Sometime during the next two weeks, I will ask questions in VPchat and give out prizes to the first person to answer the correctly! All you need to do is show up and participate! I would like a LOT of participants, so if you could PLEASE spread the word to your fellow VP-ians I would greatly appreciate it! There will be 25 questions & each question will have ONE correct answer. The first person to answer correctly (spelling counts) will receive the question's prize. An example would be: <ul class="bb-list-unordered">Question: In the 1991 movie, Silence of the Lambs, who plays Dr. Hannibal Lecter? Prize: 2 Long Grooms </ul> A few minutes will be given or until someone answers the question correctly. Once the question has been answered, I will reveal the correct answer & of course, reward the winner with the prize I had declared earlier. By the way, for those who don't know, the answer to the above question was -- Anthony Hopkins Here's a list of possible prizes: <ul class="bb-list-unordered">○ 7m VPC + 10m VPC [ donated by TigerCub101 ] ○ 3 pairs of unmade imports [valued at 600k/pair] ○ 6 High Endy (140+) Border Collies [valued at roughly 500k+/dog] ○ 10 Long Grooms [valued at roughly 500k+/dog] </ul> Total value of prizes: approx. 26.8m The prizes are subject to change without notice. Each question can be worth a different amount of VPC ranging from 100k-1m OR a different prize from the list above. This is still a work in progress!

Thank you! Enjoy<3

Happy? Unhappy? Comments? -- Feedback is nice.

Nacie · May 2013

I really like it! Is there any way you can put the training and eventing on the top level of subtext and move the breeding and boarding down to the lower level? Basically just switch places? I will go send 'donation' contract now - even if you can't change it. Thanks so much!!

Hehe.... I know you asked for a bunch of blues, but I made mistakes and I came up with this: <img src="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c99/PoseidonsMinion/KelseyB-1_zps83bea7a0.png"; alt="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c99/PoseidonsMinion/KelseyB-1_zps83bea7a0.png"; class="bb-image" /> It was a mistake, but it kinda came out cool so I figured I'd upload it and share it with you I will go ahead and make you one with a bunch of blues though. Lol! No worries.

Okay. Hi. So. when I did this, I didnt have internet access and all I remembered was "forest", "celtic", and "bear" <img src="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c99/PoseidonsMinion/IvyBear-1_zpsdb5b80db.png"; alt="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c99/PoseidonsMinion/IvyBear-1_zpsdb5b80db.png"; class="bb-image" /> I'd be willing to redo it if you wanted -- Let me know what you think! @DJCowgirl, I skipped your order. I'm sorry. I'll get to it right away. @Garnet, Wow that's a lot of orders! Thanks. You'll have to take turns with whoever places an order though. It's one order per person at a time -- until I'm finished. Then for your next order, you get put back in line. @Kelseyb, Thank you! Which one did you prefer?

The one without all the blues. I really liked how it turned out, but I also liked the blue one.
