Site Skin Discussion

To continue user satisfaction on The Magical Leaf, the site needs to know what sort of images they wish to see every day. In other words, we need input to help us figure out what sort of skins everybody in interested in seeing and being created. All you have to do in this thread is come up with cool ideas and help us brainstorm pictures, fonts, colors, and whatever else is needed.

Personally, this is what I think we need so far:

1) Old Moon Foreset skins, and maybe revise some if they need it.
2) An underwater skin with perhaps an animal. All blue colors.
3) A deep forest skin. We'd use all green colors.
4) A desert with plenty of rocks. Brown and orange colors.

Maybe elaborate on how you feel about those ideas, and add your own now!

I've always been a fan of sky-based skins... sunrise/sunset, night/day, any of those would do well by me. =P

1 - We should definitely bring back some of the MF skins! You know which one in particular I'm thinking of. xD

2 - The more blue, the better! Perhaps some sort of reef-theme could be used? The main body would be blue, but there could be bits of color scattered in.
Also, it should have a narwhal in it.

And for 2-4 in general, I really like the idea of having at least one skin based around the major colors. Even if they're totally simple, it's a good base to provide something that will suffice for everyone.

Oh, those all sound good. :3 I think if we're gonna have Pokemon skins, we should probably have some for other fandoms. And maybe some that relate to RPs, like a fantasy one or a medieval one or something. I think people would like that. :3

[Zelda]

*pokes Elite's*

Yep. Like Ouran. *shot*

But she's right. o: If we do Pokemon, we have to do one for like...everything. xD;

-

Which one, Sarin? o.o I believe I did an Absol one, so that's probably it, right? x3;

[Spaz]

Perhaps a skin with a wintery theme? Soft blues and whites or something like that. ^^

Anyway, I think all the ideas suggested so far are very good.

[Magical Girl Lyrical Sarahnyan]

All right, all of those are great ideas, guys! I don't think we necessarily need skins for everything other than Pokémon when we add them right away, but I see what you mean. We'll do that later.

Everyone please vote in the new skin voting poll, as well. ^^ It's in the Leaf Gazette.

And Sarin - you said you could possibly get someone on Mystic to do a skin for us, right?

[Sarin]

Yep, I'm pretty sure I'd be able to. There are a good number of graphic artists on there, and I'm pretty rich so I'm sure I can bribe someone to help out. x3

[Zelda]

Yay Sarin~ I fail epic-ly at making them. >>;

I remember being so jealous of that artist from the Zetaboards. xD;

[Magical Girl Lyrical Sarahnyan]

Money speaks, Sa-tan? Lol. xD

Okay then. Like what was decided in the skin voting thread, we're going with Wintery Blues. So if you can see if you can get someone to do that now, that'd be great. I'm not sure what exact details they'd need to create it. I guess snowflakes or something with TML's name? With the short description Spaz-chi made. Something like that. I should describe it more, but I don't know what else to ask for right now. Maybe Spaz-chi has more detailed ideas, since it's her idea.

Yeah, Kuroi did do a great job on this skin, and I only just found her randomly and she did it for me. I always appreciated it a lot.

[Spaz]

I was thinking keeping the TML Logo style, but changing the board leaves to snowflakes and such. The colors would be varying between a deep blue and a snowy white. The main banner should still have a leaf of some sort (sticking with our name XD ) but have the leaf/leaves dusted with frost

Does anyone else want to provide a bit of input? I can probably ramble about my idea for awhile but its nice to get everyones ideas tossed in to make it more of a community work. :3
Of course, where ever the artists creativity takes them is fine too~

[Zelda]

I think Elite's SPAZ'S idea is great. x3 A frosty/snowy or white leaf would be so pretty. And because I'm unoriginal I can't think of anything different. o.o;;

o.o I have no clue why I put Elite. xD Maybe it's because I miss her~ <3

[Elite]

My idea? Don't you mean Spaz's? xD But yeah, that sounds nice. I approve. xD

[Magical Girl Lyrical Sarahnyan]

Hmm. The frosty leaf idea is great, I agree. =o I think that's perfectly fine, I don't really have much else to add myself. That sounds like an epic skin just the way you've described it already~

[Tyto]

Mmmm, I love the idea, Spaz, along with all of the others listed by Sarah in the original post.
Will there be any green included in the "Frosty Leaf" skin?

[Magical Girl Lyrical Sarahnyan]

Didn't we say it was going to be an Autumn leaf with frost, or was I just thinking that myself?

Anyway, I'm not sure. Green would be okay, too.
