Hello everyone, I'm a fan of Sci Fi, video games and all those things we tend to spend way too much time on. My biggest passion however is drawing, so as requested by Wes and by my personal interest I'm here to offer my skills to you guys.

If you want to see more please visit my Deviantart gallery here: http://zairyo.deviantart.com/

If you want to commission me please make sure you are willing to spend at least $15.00 and that you have a Paypal account.
Thanks for your time.

This is aimed to those of you that don't have a credit card or paypal account (or any way to pay for digital content) but wish they could get a commission from me. As some of you know I have an Xbox 360, which means nothing Microsoft does is ever free, that goes with Xbox Live and Marketplace related content. The Star Army price for commissions remains the same, $15 for the commission and an extra $5 for the card option which brings it to $20. Those $20 can be paid with:

A- 1600 Microsoft Points
B- 3 months of Xbox live Gold subscription

I currently care more about the points than the subscription 'cause I only play online with friends (friends that I communicate with through IM 'cause I can't hear $#!T through the headset so good thing I only like co-op and not multiplayer crap)

There are sites that allow some people (those living in the US, Canada and forgot where else) to do some surveys and what not and get them for free, I really don't care how you get the points, only that they work. Amazon.com also sells them directly, by e-mailing you the code.

Just let me know. Have fun at the con ^^
 


Sorry that I didn't bother to check their height in relation to one another but I seriously didn't have the time to do it.

EDIT:
If anyone wants to add a comment or something to the wallpaper feel free.
I thought of writing,
Intergalatic Fashion Statement:
Nosebleeds are mandatory

But obviously decided not to. ^^
 
I think that line would work very well.

I already had a nosebleed actually, thank you very much, fucker. It was very much worth it.
 
EDIT: Fixed the code (forgot a couple of ; ) and added a link to stararmy.com

For those of you that have a subscriber account on Deviantart and want to customize your StarArmy gallery/folder (whether you have one as an artist or by faving others you can still use it) you should go to the Star Army folder you created, choose Edit, then Style.

Copy and Paste this :

Code: 
body { 
background-color:#000040;
background-image:url(http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/4186/hanako01bgoc2.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:top left;
}

.folderview-top div
{
float: none;
width: auto;
}
.folderview-top .description
{
font-size: 12px;
font-family: Arial;
color: #FFFFFF;
text-align: left;
padding: 20px 50px 20px 300px;
}

.folderview-top h2 {
position:absolute;
left: 350px;
color: #ccccff;
}

a:link {
color:#CCCCFF;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:visited {
color:#CCCCFF;
text-decoration: none; 
}
a:active {
color:#CCCCFF; 
text-decoration: none;
}

.folderview-art{
padding-top: 3px;
margin-left: 300px;
background-color: #000020;
border-style:solid;
border-width:1px;
border-color:#ccccff;
}

It's kinda basic (way too basic) but I still don't know all the "handles" so I can modify it better.
If you make it better post the new code here.

One other thing. I copy pasted the description of the site and added it in the text area. If you want to do the same copy and paste this (on the text area, not on the style part)

Code: 
<img src="https://stararmy.com/roleplay/header/">

Star Army is a free online community dedicated to collaborative story writing and military simulation through a mix of play-by-post and chat-based roleplaying games.

Star Army, running since 2000, features an original sci-fi setting created by its members and characterized by armed, flirty cat-eared girls and sleek, powerful starships and power armor. Various factions compete for dominance as they emerge from the shadow of the Yamatai Star Empire. War is never far away.

If you want to see how it should looks like go HERE

If I make it better before I log off tonight I will edit this post. So to make it easier please post when you use the code, so I can add an EDIT note at the top of the post. If there are no posts when I change the code I will assume nobody has use it and therefore no edit note is required.

Oh and feel free to change the image on the left for whatever you want. I used my own Hanako pic 'cause it was good enough for what I wanted without having to make a new one
 
I'm extremely impressed!
 
A very nice little setup.
Makes me want to take up Website-makery as a profession.

I did graduate as a graphic designer (even though I only took one class about web design and was mostly HTML and self taught since the teacher had problems during the semester) and I kinda suck at it (mostly have a hard time coming with a concept that I will be able to do without getting into too much research. I know nothing about php, Ajax or any of the interactive mediums used in web design. I can barely use dhtml ^^; )

I wanted to keep the actual look of the forums so that hopefully people browsing through my gallery would get interested. Only problem is I forgot to link the banner to the website but I'll do that now. ^^

Not a bad idea. Either as a regular job or as freelance you can get good money out of it and if you like working on a computer then all the better.
 
Zairyo is the god of SA art around here. all hail Zai! *wishes he could pay for a commission in things other than cookies*
 
Added this image just for the heck of it at the bottom of the gallery
aimg262.imageshack.us_img262_7023_bottombg01mt9.webp

(well actually it wasn't for the heck of it, it was more so that people could see this is more complex than just creating characters to roleplay, that there are actual ships involved, among other things that the banners themselves show)

This is the new code

Code: 
body { 
background-color:#000040;
background-image:url(http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/4186/hanako01bgoc2.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:top left;
}

.folderview-top div
{
float: none;
width: auto;
}
.folderview-top .description
{
font-size: 12px;
font-family: Arial;
color: #FFFFFF;
text-align: left;
padding: 20px 50px 20px 300px;
}

.folderview-top h2 {
position:absolute;
left: 350px;
color: #ccccff;
}

a:link {
color:#CCCCFF;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:visited {
color:#CCCCFF;
text-decoration: none; 
}
a:active {
color:#CCCCFF; 
text-decoration: none;
}

.folderview-art{
padding-top: 3px;
margin-left: 300px;
background-color: #000020;
border-style:solid;
border-width:1px;
border-color:#ccccff;
}

div.folderview-bottom {
width: 315px; 
height: 400px; 
margin-top: -400px;
margin-left: -20px;
background-image: url(http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/7023/bottombg01mt9.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: bottom left;
}

One other thing, if it looks odd on your end take a screenshot and post it with your screen resolution so that I can correct it if I can or should.
