If you can't take the time to read my topic, more than likely your request isn't worth doing.

1. DON'T pester me about your request! I'll have it done when I have it done--no sooner, nor later.*UPDATED 10/14/2012
2. DON'T request things that are morally inappropriate.*UPDATED 10/14/2012
3. DON'T PM me about a request, unless you want to keep your request under wraps.
4. DO provide me with any image you want included, no you don't have to but it would be a lot easier on me if you did.
5. DO make sure to use the template I provided. If you don't, I won't be able to do your request for many reasons. This doesn't mean you can modify my template for your specific needs. Anything not marked OPTIONAL is NOT OPTIONAL.*UPDATED 10/14/2012
6. DON'T quote my entire topic in your post. It's really aggravating, and really unnecessary.*UPDATED 10/14/2012
7. DON'T make more than two requests at a time. *UPDATED 2/12/2012
8. DON'T take title screens or images made for other people unless you have their specific consent. It wasn't made for you, so you shouldn't have anything to do with it.
9. DON'T claim you did it all yourself. While I do not REQUIRE you credit me for my work, you didn't make it so you shouldn't be a jerk about it. It would be nice to receive credits, though.
10. DON'T post in this topic if it does not have to do with requesting something or has something to do with your request. Private Message me if you wish to speak to me otherwise, I do not want my topic cluttered with completely unrelated posts. *UPDATED 10/14/2012
11. DON'T PM me with something to do with a request if you posted it in my topic. You WILL be ignored and your request will not be completed.
12. DON'T expect me to fix your Grammar. How you post your header and subtext is exactly how it's going to appear on your request. I am NOT your English Teacher, if you can't type correctly don't expect me to repair your broken language. I merely copy-paste what you put, or retype it exactly how you put it.
13. DON'T type "None", "Nothing", "No", into the SUBHEADER field if you don't want me to put anything! Leave it BLANK! Anything put there is AUTOMATICALLY ASSUMED TO BE THE SUBHEADER TEXT. *UPDATED 2/12/2012
14. DO add a mockup if you want me to design the visual of your menu/title screen so you or someone else can script it! I can't do these without such things! I do not script, though, so do not expect me to code it. *UPDATED 2/18/2012
15. DON'T directly link to the image on my file host account. GET YOUR OWN. Don't mooch off of me! If I catch you doing this, I will remove your image after 3 days. *UPDATED 3/7/2012
16. DON'T MULTI-REQUEST. If you already requested something from someone else, don't give it to me if they're taking too long to fufill your request unless they're inactive on the forums. In the same accord, DON'T request something from me, then request the same thing from someone else. THAT'S RUDE. AND REALLY ANNOYING. I work hard on these Requests; it ticks me off when I give them to people, only to have them request the same thing from someone else. Refrain from doing that. Or at least tell me you hate it. Geez.*UPDATED 10/14/2012
17. DON'T make a request if you don't have at least 5 posts! As much as I like making this stuff, and as much as the fact that people sign up just to make one pleases me, I won't ever know where those end up! Fudge it, I don't even care anymore.
18. DO have a topic with your game on it with decent information! While this isn't required, it'd be nice to see what I'm making this for!
19. DON'T give me a request that's super complicated. I can do decent work, but I'd rather not have to spend two to three hours doing work that most likely won't turn out good.
20. While you reserve the right to use your images however you like, I reserve the right to claim them as my own work. This doesn't mean I'll go around using work I made specifically for you, but I'll display them as my own work and nothing else.*UPDATED 10/14/2012
21. I know I may come off as a mean guy, but I'm really nice if you get to know me! I just do not tolerate the ignorant breaking of my rules. Read them and request! If you actually read all of the rules, add this word to your post: adequate. *UPDATED 10/14/2012
22. I never do any two things exactly the same--so don't even bother asking me to! *UPDATED 10/24/2012
23. Absolutely no fonts that aren't completely solid. Otherwise they are a pain to work with and they never end up being readable or very good looking. I refuse to work with them at all henceforth.
24. DO have anything you want in another language already translated! If not, you might just end up with a bad translation courtesy of Google Translate.
25. DON'T make a request if my list is full.  Your request might end up overlooked and not completed!  You have been warned! *UPDATED 3/31/2013

If you don't like my graphics, I highly recommend checking out Usagi's shop or SolarGale's shop. They're far better than I.

Woah. Come on, Rekx! Believe in yourself! Stop doubting and cutting yourself short; if you believe you will achieve. I think your graphics are great, and you have the potential there to be great at this, just don't give up on yourself about your abilities. Remember that.

Yeah, I'm not bad. But I'm definitely not as good as either of you! However, I've vastly improved since I first started in Paint.NET.

Ahh, I remember my paint.net days
Love your title logo btw, excellent choice of colour scheme, style and fonts there, i'm sure many will like your work, at least for what I see I already do!
As Usagi said, you really shouldn't cut yourself short, one tip I will give is to add a couple more examples, trying to vary the themes a little, aside from that, good luck on the requests, I'm sure some will come your way! :3

[Archduke]

Alrighty then. I've updated the main post with some more examples. They're old and I've improved drastically since then, but they're some of my best (and I use that term lightly) work.

[Mooshrago12]

Hey first request I believe.

HEADER TEXT: Tri-Rips
SUBHEADER TEXT: Productions
OTHER INFORMATION: I want three colors chasing each other around in a circle or some sort of trinity style logo using three colors.
COLOR SCHEME: Primary if not secondary colors of the color wheel.
TYPE: Logo
SIZE: Any size that fits a 544,416 screen.
GAME TOPIC: Not one since this is a studio logo.

Thanks for the shop. We support this shop check our sig.

Also to be clear the logo made for us by Usagi is a game logo and this is a studio logo since our main game is named after our studio we do not want you to think we are multi requesting thanks.

Alright, you've been added to the list. It should be done today or tomorrow.

Thanks its perfect. Keep up the good work.

Is there a point in your workflow where you find the Saturation slider and crank it up to eleven? Other issues aside, your colours are ridiculously bright, to the point where things are difficult to read.

11. DON'T post in this topic if it does not have to do with requesting something or has something to do with your request. Private Message me if you wish to speak to me otherwise, I do not want my topic cluttered with completely unrelated posts.

[Usagi]

Woah, Rekx. Calm down. Why aren't you accepting constructive criticism? He is only helping you, and I personally thing this rule is ridiculous. Are people not allowed to say that your logos are great on your thread or is it just when they say you're doing something wrong and to say it privately because of your 'status' or whatever?

[Archduke]

You seem to have misunderstood. They can let loose their criticisms, but it's not excruciatingly hard to private message me. Which is what I want people to do if they want to make comments.
I have the topic so people can make requests, not discussion. And I don't like sorting through pages of non-requests to find what I'm looking for.

I have no "Status", that is irrelevant to me.

[Archduke]

I've decided to take a different approach in my graphical style, something simpler yet still nice.

what. criticism is totally related. don't be rude to people who are trying to help you.

[Archduke]

Yes, it's very related. But I won't change my rules, they are there because of past experiences in which things did not go very well. So if you could be so kind as to either follow them as per my request, or just don't comment at all. I know this may come off as rude, but I am doing what I feel is best.

Thank you for your cooperation.

[Archduke]

Another example for the drawing boards, get your requests while they're hot! Or cold! Whichever you prefer, really.

12. DON'T PM me with something to do with a request if you posted it in my topic. YOU WILL BE IGNORED AND YOUR REQUEST DISCARDED.

May you be more clear about this rule? A person may want to make small changes or correct any errors. I think good communication is very important in workshops.

Criticism is allowed on this board. If you're going to post art online then you should expect to be criticized .

If it involves a request, they just post it in the topic. I've had a number of people post in my topic, and then PM me about the same thing when they could've just used the one medium they'd used in the first place. I DON'T know why it bothers me, it's just a pet peeve.

Another who is verily confused and, of course, won't follow my instructions and PM me about it. I love criticism, really, but I want people to PM me. Is that so hard?
