Request Website Changes

[carmendove]

The new year is starting soon so I gave my request site a complete overhaul.
A new name, a new sleek look but the same great service!

My drawing skills in Photoshop still need some work but it's so hard drawing straight with a trackpad! I was trying to show a Phoenix hatching from an egg but I think it ended up looking more like an obese bird. Haha. Oh, well. I'll just keep practicing.

To celebrate the opening of the new site, the prices for headers and wallpapers have been reduced and they'll stay that way for the whole month of January :)

Also, I'd like to add a "Testimonials" page so if you've ordered a graphic from me before and don't mind having your words posted on the site, please leave a comment with a few lines about your experience and thoughts on the final graphic.

The site is hosted at Geocities so it may go down if there's too much traffic at once. If that happens, please try again later. I think I may finally give in and buy a domain later this year but for now, we'll have to deal with the pitfalls of a free hosting site. Sorry!

Now you know I'll be all over this. :)
I'll leave a testimonial too.

Nice new name. I dig it. *goes to check out the rest*
I'll be requesting a new header sometime soon.

Congratulations! I checked out the site, it looks wonderful and I just know you'll have success with it. You're so talented. I've never ordered a graphic from you, but have many of your icons and graphics which I've enjoyed so much. I wish you a lot of luck with it, and if you ever design little link back buttons, I'd be happy to post one on my UI to direct people to your site.

Really, you would? That is so nice of you! Thank you!!!
Is this size okay or do you want something smaller?

I have a few more orders to make during January :)
One request tho, I don't mind you using the Alec/Sam manip as an example (so long as it remains small) but can you not use the Doctor Who one *begs* please?

I like to keep my requests private unless I show them on my LJ :O

p.s. I'm so happy to offer testimonials :D

Don't worry, I'm going to keep them small because I know you don't like them being shared. But is it okay to keep them up if I put a watermark over it?

If no, then could you tell me which manips I could use as an example? I really want to post something because the manips I've done for you are some of my favorites :)

[green-wing.livejournal.com]

You can use any of my other orders (just not the Doctor Who ones? Please?)
Or else make the watermark really big and really obvious, I just don't want anyone taking them and using them :O
They're really special to me *hugs my prettie close*

I've taken down the DW one :)
I'll dig thru my files later and find a different one to use.

[green-wing.livejournal.com]

Awwww thank you, I do appreciate you taking it down *hug*
I'll get started on my next order :D
I just need to find some more pictures :)

p.s. I keep forgetting to ask, what is the source image for your absolutely stunning icon :O
It's so beautiful :)

[carmendove.livejournal.com]

It's a picture from a Bollywood (Indian cinema) calendar. Other icons from the calendar can be found here: http://carmendove.livejournal.com/42356.html

oooooh that is such a beautiful picture, that's going into my collection, I have such a weakness for images of people floating in water :)

*squee!pounce* OMG thank you for that link, I just found a whole bunch of awesome DW icons to snag! :P

[destinyjade.livejournal.com]

That's perfect! I'm going to put it up now! :)
