PLEASE NOTE AT THIS TIME YOU MUST HAVE AT LEAST 1 DIAMOND MEDAL FOR LAST MOON ADMINS TO ACCEPT YOUR PRESET. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR PAYMENT TO HAVE THE PRESET PLACED. YOU'RE PAYING ME TO MAKE IT.
OMFG PRESETS
Let's cut to the chase here. You're here because you want a preset. I'm here because I'm willing to make that happen... for a price, but we'll get to that later.
MY EXPERIENCE
Granted I've had help on presets and recycled those help parts (I'm pretty picky about my own presets), but you have the liberty of telling me "Hey I don't like this nose" "I don't like the pupil type of this eye" or you can send me images you want me to incorporate. I have a pretty general skill set, I'm no brilliant artist. However I believe a preset is a show off work of art. Not just about the character.A preset is basically an avatar picture in game, of whatever animal form you intend to be and casually go about your conversation. It can be a more detailed version of an RP character you love.... or you just want to look pretty
This is the preset I have in game right now. It came out fairly decent upon switching heads. Which... made me pretty happy honestly.
Ugh man Wind had to help me on tinting this one. I had all the spots but... ugh OLD BODY SUCKS ON ALIGNING STOMACH UNDERCOAT. Makes you wanna punch babies. Either way this preset is a nice little... leopardy design.
That sexy under fur texture was not done by me. I'm not capable of that amazing kind of detail. It's a little to realistic for IT but it is pretty. I do have the basic fur texture in plain. I own it, I had to pester a friend to make me a nice fur texture so I could complete more fuzzy presets. This was because the old bodies suck. Now we have sexy new bodies and I can use regular brushes to give a nice fuzzy detail but not over shadowing the IT style.This also shows a nice reflective undertexture that moves with your camera. I like to manipulate code... so you're not just limited to moving markings!
Oh my clockwork baby. Those wings... I specialize in wings at least in interesting ones! Feathers are lame. Weird ones? Hell yes. I'd like to redo this preset body honestly because it's based on old body. It was thrown together, but I'm not positive on how I want to make it look but either way. This was my first preset and damn was it awesome. It's still awesome, just outdated. It also lagged the shit out of everyone for old IT coding because of the moving hair. Forgive me!
Anyway I also do item retextures for presets if requested. I won't do anything too complicated mesh wise like guitars or mallets or whatever has a huge scrambled UV that I can't at least get a reference of. You want a sexy pair of horns? Fine. You got it. I'll make them spectral and shine like the dead scrambling up to heaven.
OUR CONTRACT
By having requested a preset from me you must understand that I am a full time college student. I'm working on becoming a Certified Veterinary Technician (Animal Nurse!) I deal with animals everyday and a class full of 25 women who put me in a horrible mood nearly everyday. I'll work on presets when I have time. If you really wanted to watch me work hell I'd skype my screen to you so you can bitch at what you want. Otherwise I'll send periodic updates as I go.
You must have a reference. I don't care how crappy the image is. I need at least a full view of all details that are specific to your preset. If I end up not putting a marking on the face that I didn't see on the reference you're SOL.
It is my right to refuse any preset I find either out of my capability, not worth making a preset of, or if I find it horridly hideous.
Your preset will include Head/Eyes/Body/Tail/Mane - With average in game wings. You want sexy wings look down below at prices.
I will be testing all the code and submitting your preset to LM.
"Well wait what does that mean?"
This means I have control on whether your preset goes in at all after you pay the LM toll (unless they are accepting free presets. This accepting and closed free insertion of a preset into game switches pretty frequently.) Last Moon requests for any additional preset after 1 or if presets are not being accepted for free that you must pay 2 Diamond Medals to have it put into game. Please go here to look up Last Moon's Medal Trading policy.
So you pay them the required medals, and after you pay me for the preset via my price in Last Moon medals I'll hand over the preset to the staff for submission. This way nobody gets burned and I take care of the hassling of RakshaWw (which I'm sure she loves) about getting your preset in promptly or asap as staff can. I can't help it if they have update stuff in the way first! We don't want a broken game for the sake of a preset.
...Or so I'm told
Now we've established that I get paid once it's done (so I don't just skip out on work for nothing). I will hold onto a preset until that. No worries though. I won't do anything with your preset after I've made it. I'll be mad if I made it for nothing though... okay not really.
PRICES AND PAYMENT
I DO NOT TAKE REAL MONEY. I would, but I don't think I should.
IN GAME MEDALS ONLY
No item trades. I'm not interested, unless I say otherwise, but most likely nope, nada, don't even ask me here on this thread.
- Average Preset
[li]Moving Marking Preset[/li] Markings are cut out from the main layer and a layer underneath will move slowly or quickly of an image -- this image can be anything from a pattern, words, or even an image. This includes body, hair, head, and tail. I'm not doing moving eyeballs. This is ONE moving texture for head to toe. A different moving texture for each mesh part will up you the cost. 2 Silver / 5 Copper for every additional moving texture after the first that is included.
[li]Spectral Preset / or Spectral Markings[/li] Entire preset is transparent and will glow aka SPECTRAL. This can be a trial and error process depending on how complicated the preset is. If you check my screenshot dump you can see the hair that I have glows, but it is transparent. Depending on how faded the image is behind; this being mostly a trial and error to get it to the way you want it.... it is more costly. But DEAR GOD is it sexy looking.1 Gold for ENTIRE preset / 5 Silver if Average Preset with Spectral Markings/or Spectral moving Markings
[li]Metallic Preset / Metallic Markings[/li] This can be seen one of the screenies with the the blue shiny markings. This is a lot of fun to do, because the texture is coded to be spherical and moves as you turn your camera, not the mesh itself, meaning it actually gives the illusion of that metallic glare of metal! Your texture must be provided, but be forewarned, not everything looks sexy that way. It can show off the poly and make the body parts look very... triangular. Picking a good texture, and with testing, I can show you if it looks hideous or it actually appears METAL. 3 Silver
[li]Combinations of Moving/Metallic/Spectral[/li]
This is where those complicated silly presets come in like mine in LM. I have moving markings on my front arms and the mane/tuft is metallic, yet spectral. With the manipulation of color code to get it the correct color. If you check out your "preset" textures in the LM folder and see what my texture is for the mane you're gonna be like WUT. This is a fun experiment because you can get a multicolored mane that is affected via the lighting in game and how your camera it turned. It adds up for some sexy screenshots.This really depends on how complicated your preset is. At most it's going to cost NO MORE than 1 Diamond Medal. I will quote you on price depending on how much goes into actually making it.
[li]Specialty Wings[/li]There are plenty of templates and free wing textures that are out there via KITO or on DA that various artists will allow you to decorate how you wish. If you have something simple like "Give me this Nala_91 texture colored purple for my preset" that's easy. No extra pricing.
If you want to google search wings pick out various ones you like, you can even mix and match them and send them to me. I'll manipulate the image to fit on the Wing UV of your choice to look appropriate. For the ones I have made I've actually used more than one wing, put them together and made an outline of how I wanted them to look together. If you see my preset in game and take a good look at my wings you can see how the butterfly wings double over each other, but with some careful outlining you can get it to look as one.
I have not tried moving markings on wings. I don't think this is something that can be...done for wings that don't use the full mesh. Not that I have tried. I specialize in cutting out those rough edges.
DO NOT COMPLAIN TO ME ABOUT HOW THE WING ANIMATES WITH YOUR PRESET. The folded wings (yes even with my clockwork wings) always looked... weird to some degree. I can make them sexy, but I can't make them look sexier when they're folded. That my friends is impossible unless you plan to reanimate wings. So have fun with that.
These range from 1-5 Silver Depending on how complicated. If I have to go into fine detail of a single feather on a whole wing you're going to see me crack open my skull in irritation. I hate to charge so much for wings, but they actually take the longest. They are also my favorite part of a preset because they always seem to be the under appreciated part of IT. Granted I don't want mine all the time, but if they're going to go on then they better look pretty... right?
