LOL yeah, Retina must die!!!

Just putting it out there...

Dunno what goes into valued member status generally but I feel that Mr Valentine has earned the status.

again not sure of the preliminary requirements, but he has one vote for a status upgrade.

yay or nay?

I'd say yay. He could make some sweet/cool looking animated Mod badge or something, to please the Mods.

I don't think you should be devaluing 'Valued Member' to creating some banners - it's a bit insulting to the people who've actually tried really hard helping people.

Oh no, Wordpress won't let me crop my banner image to fit properly for my blog.

Hmm, maybe I'll just use it on my about page.

Can always give me the dimensions and I can rescale ^^

Everyone - I would love Valued Member status, when I feel I have deserved it, so far I feel I am only some 20% the way there yet...

But nevertheless thank you so much for such a gesture!

The Slayer - Yes, just not had the time to reply to it yet ^^ honestly, hardly had time to breath this weekend... had a client over last night from like 4PM to 4AM this morning, I slept 12 hours and I am now awake with a smashing headache... needless to say the emergency design work was completed in time

Going to celebrate tonight with some Sushi/Sashimi and my fav dish Chicken Katsu! and maybe a run at the big screens... looks like it will be Red 2 tonight!, I have seen Wolverine a few weeks back... cannot wait to buy it on Ray-Blu!

Lots of new joyous news in my life lately getting the garden done this Wednesday too! and planning a trip to Japan again

umm anyway... any new Banner requests?

Sounds interesting! What would you say about creating HUD images for an adventure/puzzle game, a bit mystical and fantasy like? ?

Only there is a little problem with avatar size, it is 43x50, not 50x50, so it is stretched (and therefore, a bit blurred). Could you fix it please?

P.S. just for comparsion:

A set of images for the HUD (i.e. stamina and health bar, inventory, spell icons, etc...).
If possible, they should be kinda mystical/magical, suited for an adventure/puzzle game.

Unity scales HUD images proportionally depending on the screen resolution, so normally it shouldn't be a problem if the images are unevenly numbered, but it might be best to keep them even numbered (i.e. 2,4,6,8,10,12, etc...) nonetheless.

As for HD or not...yeah, high quality for on higher resolutions, if possible.

And, thanks!

Hey guys, sorry for no result of the GUI element, but this week has been arduous for me, I will be home for at least the next 7 days during which I will give it a go, really difficult to concentrate this week...

I managed to piece together a quick test loading bar in PNG format... So if you can test this and show it working, that would allow me to set this template as the basis for any future items...
Currently it is in 256x64 basis, I can make variants of the outputs but I need to see if PNG is a viable method to export for you...

bitJericho - You got an animated banner on the first post mind you
