For a specific, yet undisclosed, purpose I would like to ask the following question:
If you were asked to describe FFXI, Quetzalcoatl (the server), or QCDN (the board) with one image, and that image could not be a screenshot, nor a real world photo (i.e. cosplay), nor some ebaumsworld quality graphic (for QCDN), which image would capture this for you?
Feel free to post a link, or post the actual image here (if it doesn't break the board), or create one, anything goes. The key is to come up with a good visual representation of either of the three.
Ah well, may as well say what this is about, a custom style for QCDN.
FFXI themed style of course. All the graphics need to be reworked, the color scheme as such as well, lots of work.
I am considering to perhaps abandon the massive amount of styles currently loaded in favor of one custom ("branded") one. Updating this many styles is a royal pain in the rear. Either way, QCDN could truly look awesome with an FFXI themed style.
I tried to do this "behind your back", but the few quotes I got on redoing the whole thing were all in the $800-$1300 range. Needless to say that I am in no position to fork out that kind of cash, or any cash at this point.
I am not sure how much interest there is, perhaps this could be a community effort, though I feel a bit bad about it, because gfx work is time consuming and I wouldn't want to put that burden on anyone. Creating a logo is one thing, I have no trouble with that, but making a new style is a whole different league.
Either way, posting the one image that captures is all is imho still a feasible way to get some ideas on possible theme concepts.
Edit:
The resulting style would have to be a QCDN exclusive, the idea is to create a unique look for this site.
Commercial vB styles sell for $15-$35+, depending on the extend of the work, and considering that there are probably a few FFXI sites which wouldn't mind buying a FFXI style there may be a niche market for it. Still, I am just pointing that out so people can make an educated decision on how to spend what little free time they have. If a style were to be created for QCDN, it would have to be an exclusive that no other FFXI site out there has (which is why I was quoted the amounts previously mentioned, as there is no revenue from additional resale possible for the creator).
