Welcome to Gaia! ::

Want a pill that looks like this? This is the post to customize and order a pill just for you. You can see other samples here: one, two, three, four.

The first step is to decide whether you want a white BG or a transparent BG. What's the difference? Well, the one with my name on it to the left is with a white BG. This keeps the shadow around the pill and gives the image a generally smoother look. However, in order for the image to not look stupid, it could only be used on white background-colored forums or pages (like Gaia).

The other style is shown in the samples. The background surrounding the pill is transparent and can be used on any sort of background color. However, there's no shadow and edges could be rough.

• This step cost: free.

The second step is to pick a size for your pill. None are bigger than 500px, so they're within' Gaia limits. The diagram for the sizes is shown to the below, under the prices.

*NEW* Thin Size: A new size, very similar to the long 490x50 advertising banner of Ecstacy GFX (shown below the size chart). They can be as long as you want, but will never be higher than 80 pixels. The length can be anywhere from 200 - 500 pixels long.

When ordering "Thin" please put the "length x 50" next to Thin when ordering size. For example 300x50. So I know the size you want. These sizes do not add extra gold to your price, and if you have a long name, decide on a longer pill size.

Also, Thin Size CANNOT be used for Pill Players. See the Pill Player Styles for their specific traits.

This step's cost:

• Large: 500 gold
  
• Medium: 400 gold
  
• Small: 300 gold
  
• X-Small: 200 gold
  
• Thin: 100 gold

The third step is to pick out what color you want. The chart is below.

This step's cost:

• All solid colors: free
  
• White gloss, Burnt, Dual, Striped: 25 gold (state the other color you want, either a pre-listed solid or an HTML code)
  
• Custom color not on the chart: 50 (provide a "#000000"/HTML code, please).
  
• Rainbow: 50

Step four is to pick a font for whatever text you want on your pill. Please be aware on how much text you can fit on your pill! I can make font sizes smaller, but not too much smaller to look good. (And everything must be on one line to fit nicely in the pill.)

The following, fifth step is optional, but a rather nice addition. Here you add what patterns you want. There are 10 styles with 8 accents. You can have up to 2 different styles + 1 accent. Please do note that the style is just a general look for it; your pill will NOT have the same exact pattern!

This step's cost:

• Each Style: 15 gold
  
• +1 Accent: 10 gold

*NEW* An additional option in the sixth step is actually a new style I conjured. For a little bit extra gold, you can have your pill split into smaller bubbles per each letter. All the above steps still apply, but be aware, depending on the size you pick, your image may be bigger than expected. I can also make the bubbles jagged, goofy, etc. aligned.

This step's cost:

• Bubbles: + 150 gold

Once you've finished deciding, you can fill out the following form and send the trade with the appropriate amount. (Forms are in the "Form" post. ^^)

Alright, so I wanted to play with the mp3 player idea as seen in a few other stores, like Deadstar. So, combining the idea as well as these pills, I have manifested the pill player. Here are some un-labeled samples: one, two (two has three in one image w/ a watermark), three.

So, to start with, follow the steps in the Construction post. All of these come in a standard size (the size you see in sample two; sample one is a bit big), so you do not have to choose a size. However, do pick out style, font, color(s), and any accents.

The cost for this step: Same as however much you pay as in the Construction post.

Next, pick a type from the picture on the left side. Each one costs the same amount. Pick whichever one you want. Style 4 and Style 5 are not on the image to the left, but at the bottom of this post. It costs the same amount. Be aware, it'll be hard to fit long usernames, so if you'd like to include a nickname/abbrivation for your username for Style 4 or 5, feel free to do so.

This step's cost: + 400 gold

So, now you probably want a song. All I need is a title and artist. And, if you have/want it, the song length.

This step's cost: free

Some will probably want more than one song. So, I'm offering to make the same player you order with different songs. You just have to pay 10 gold for every extra player. Also, I do not do randomizer or map coding, sorry.

If your song title is long, you can ask for an animation (short songs & band names do not need an animation, but I can probably scroll the artist name and album name if you include it, or something of the like, if you really want an animation). The animation, as shown in the example below, is what the scrolling effect 1 looks like. Scrolling effect two is back and forth, like in this example. Please, no more than 1o songs at a time (for the sake of my sanity).

This step's cost: + 200 gold. (If more than one song, +200 for the first song, +75 for each next one; +500 for 5 animations.)

You can find the form for the player in the Forms post.
