This almost looks like it could be a full time job.
Drawing these requests is pretty much what you'd pay a graphic designer for, minus their actual
creative ability. Simple requests can just be autotraced, but this generally gives you a poor quality decal.
For the most part, those people fulfilling requests with high quality decals don't just have some magic button to "convert" things. We've pretty much only got the same tools available to us the most players do (accepting that some don't have access to a PC).
Which leads me to say...some of these requests look kinda "over the top" in a way, 5 or 6 very complex images that will certainly have to be layered...maybe it's just that some people don't understand the work that goes into this (and the time), that you folks do.
This is very much the case.
@MenocidiX requests for instance... no harm in him asking, but to create anything photo realistic is a big job. It also results in multiple files that aren't the easiest thing for the requester to work with either.
I know it's very time consuming when I try it.
The set I'm working on above represents about 6 hours so far as I'm drawing them from scratch. I quite like the designs, and I'm out of practice, hence I took this one on to get some practice in.
Just hoping people don't kill you guys/gals with unreasonable requests; I can see myself looking at 2 full pages of decals to make.....and promptly going to do something else...like actually playing the game!
During my spate early on hitting as many GTS decal requests as I could, I'd have the Rubber Bands on the controller wall riding a Tokyo race for credits
Not sure if that works in 7 yet.
I have this somewhere. Will post it later.
Hoping the chaps at ML will be servicing my car soon
