I take requests for both avatar/signature sets and custom character graphics. As you can probably tell, graphics posted toward the beginning of each category are newer, and I've learned a lot since I first started making these. I will be switching software soon, which will hopefully give me more skills and opportunities to make great graphics for you guys!
Samples of my work
Avatars:
160 x 200 (New Size)



200 x 200 (Old Size)



Signatures:
500 x 200 (New Size)
500 x 100 (Old Size)
Things I Can Do
Of course, it's not necessary to utilize ALL of these (in fact, please don't!) but this should give you an idea of my software's capacities for "photo magic." Generally, the more advanced the change, the longer the graphics will take to make.
Easily:
-Resize images
-Change backgrounds
-Add text to graphics
-General retouch/color enhancement
-Add items (House crests, Animagus forms, etc.)
Fairly easily:
-Change hair color (remember that it’s easier to go from light to dark)
-Change eye color (again, it’s easier to go from light to dark)
-Change clothing color
-Change skin tone
With a little more time:
-Remove logos from clothing
-Add logos/screen prints to clothing
-Add highlights to hair
-Change actual items of clothing
-Add/remove tattoos
-Add/remove makeup
-Add/remove jewelry
-Add/remove facial hair
Things I CAN’T Do:
Crazy stuff...like turning a picture of a guy into a picture of a dragon.
That being said, I won’t know unless I try it, so if you have an unusual request, feel free to PM me and I’ll see what I can do.
Restrictions
If you are a new member, you must have either 30 posts outside the Fun and Games forum OR have a membership length (with activity) of at least one month in order to make a request. These graphics take anywhere between 2 and 10 hours to make, and I want them to go to players who will continue to be active members on TNI.
If you are a current active player requesting graphics for a second (or third, or fourth) character, there are no restrictions (just make sure I know who you are).

Current Time Estimate
Graphics in the #1 slot will take approximately one week to make.
Last Words
If you don't have an incredibly detailed vision for your graphics, don't worry--I enjoy having the chance to be a little creative. If you have any questions about anything at all, feel free to PM me. I look forward to working with you!
