graphics designers, i need a picture
    #7568505 - 10/28/07 12:57 AM (16 years, 3 months ago)

that look just like these pictures (same size, color and most importantly with the character accurately copied.)

http://fallout.bethsoft.com/images/contest/perks/vaultboy01.gif
http://fallout.bethsoft.com/images/contest/perks/vaultboy02.gif
http://fallout.bethsoft.com/images/contest/perks/vaultboy03.gif
http://fallout.bethsoft.com/images/contest/perks/vaultboy15.gif

there are alot more pictures if you need them.

if you want i can send you like 20 bucks for 3 or 4 of them? i could also do something of around that value.

i need it by the 31st though, i want to enter a contest for creating a fallout 3 perk.

if you can do this message me.

I'm not following you.

If you want them the same size, color, and appearance, they're already done. Right there in the links you provided.

I can only assume that you meant you want them in a higher res. or a different size, in which case (to do it well) it would have to be vector traced in illustrator or freehand. That would require a few hours time, and would therefore be worth a bit more than 20 bucks to any employed graphic designer.

You might luck out and find a hobbyist who'll do it for free, though. (Or a particularly kind-hearted professional.)

Not trying to be a dick, just stating the facts from a professional point of view...

You're planning on using other peoples work to enter a design contest?

Is this the contest - http://www.xbox.com/en-US/community/news/2007/1008-fallout3perks.htm ?

fallout is the greatest rpg of all time, maybe the greatest game of all time.

i just want the noteriaty of it.

also i wanted pictures that size but of the guy doing differnt things. should be pretty easy, maybe an hour in total, which would defintely be worth a half dozen sterilized jars or something like that.

An hour? To draw new versions from scratch?

What are you smoking, dude?

I don't even see how you can gauge that unless you're capable of doing it yourself... in which case, DO IT YOURSELF...

Jacques is right. Sure, you could make one in less than an hour, but it wouldn't have the professionality of a finished, polished image.

okay, i'm kind of confused, i may have had erroneous beliefs about this. i'm going to ask my girlfriend to draw me one when she gets home.

unfortuneatly she doesn't have a tablet or a scanner.

also i know that if you buy an avatar the going price is usually about 10 dollars, and avatars are the same size but usually with more color and detail....

so i'll let you guys know the results when my girlfriend gets home.

my girlfriend says it would take her 10-15 minutes, and faster once she got used to drawing that particular character.

Sounds like you found somebody to do it then..

Hell, you probably wouldn't even have to pay her in any straight-up "here's the cash" fashion.

"i'm going to ask my girlfriend to draw me one when she gets home.
unfortuneatly she doesn't have a tablet or a scanner."

did you guys even look at the images? i wanted something the same size and colors just with the guy doing a different action... its cake.

here is a video from youtube of someone drawing a picture from scratch.



now look at the picture i want.

that video was 3 hours compressed into 5 minutes

around 15 seconds into the video has already far surpased what i need, and thats not even counting the huge difference in size and detail.

3 hours divided by 5 minutes is 36
36 * 15 = 540 seconds, or 9 minutes.

i'm guessing that guy could do what i was asking easily within 10 minutes.

here: http://www.ewebcart.com/~10070/cgi-bin/cart.cgi/41424052/mZpbgpD_meecT_z6uJug.6JqWUve4kLyggr.jw95r_w/?p=cart&la=a&ac=view
from shroomery sponser we see 6 quarts of sterilized grain for 70$ plus shipping and handling.

i know alot of people here on the shroomery buy from sponsers, and i assumed someone who read this would have some decent computer art talent.
even if it took you an hour to draw four of them, you'd still be making more than 90$ an hour.

i'm not sure you have any idea what you're talking about jacque, but if you want, my girlfriend goes to an art and graphic design college, i can have her ask graphic design students what thier opinion is and report back.

also, its not a design contest... you have the OPTION of including an image with your submission... i would just have preferred to.

also, i don't know why you guy decided to gang fuck my request here, but it makes you all seem ignorant.

especially strange considering i've met two of you in person.

Look man... one person's artistic talent is not a gauge upon which to judge others'. How fast some random guy on youtube could theoretically draw your pictures for you is not all that relevant.

And maybe I mis-understood your offer, but the average freelance graphic designer makes 35-40/hour. And I would not be able to reproduce a polished version of those drawings in 15 minutes.

I don't really care if your girlfriend says otherwise, or if the people with whom she goes to school say otherwise. Her quote seems to be for a rough sketch maybe? I don't know.

All I know is that the drawing samples you provided are vector-based art that would have to be pre-meditated, sketched, scanned, and then redrawn in illustrator or freehand in order to accurately end up with something of the same quality and style. Those several steps definitely take more than 15 minutes. Atleast for me. And I DO have a paying position as a graphic artist, for what it's worth.

All i said was that I didn't think you were offering a very reasonable rate. As i said, maybe i misunderstood your offer.

Peace.

P.S. As to why you were met with some angst, your initial posts seemed to imply that you wanted someone else to make a design for you that you would in turn submit as your own work in hopes of winning some prize. You left out just about all the details regarding other content that you would provide, and therefore essentially painted an image of yourself as a plagiarist.

I'm glad to hear that the contest is not for the image design, and that you aren't trying to steal credit for someone else's work... but I hope you can see how your initial posts were worded in a way that might mislead others into thinking you were.

To be perfectly honest, you don't need a tablet OR a scanner to redraw those in vector format. If your girlfriend thinks that you do, then she needs to spend a little more time in college.

Make her do it for you, if she thinks she can do it so quickly.
