Magic Duel Personas

[Kaya]

As many of you know you can customize Firefox to look the way you want using Personas. I was thinking why not create a MD persona, so I put this together:
[attachment=2775:MD upper 1.1.jpg]

The big amount of empty space to the left probably won't show up. To show you how it will look I also added a sreenshot of when I'm wearing it, this might look different for other people.

Any tips, suggestions or requests are welcome.


The final (for a while) version is out.

For Google Chrome: [url="http://www.chrometheme.net/node/8895"]http://www.chrometheme.net/node/8895[/url]

Edit: It's the final version! [img]http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif[/img] At least for now.

I'd think it could be interesting, but I'd want to see other artwork used I think.

[Kaya]

I just picked a few scenes available to anyone. I think the Paper Cabin should be in there as it is the place everything begins, for the others I'm open for suggestions.
I was also thinking of creating a different Persona for every land, but I would have to use places not available to everyone for most of them.

[Mith]

True, that you have to pick the scenes which are available to all players, but then you don't need to focus the artwork on the general places that are visited in MD. you could pick scenes which seem to make long winding roads, like sage's path or fortune's well. but that's only an example.

that said, oooh, FF4! :3

[attachment=2751:MD upper 5.1.jpg]I created some more:

[attachment=2720:MD upper 2.2 small.jpg]
[attachment=2721:MD upper 3.1 small.jpg]
[attachment=2722:MD upper 4.0 small.jpg]
[attachment=2752:MD upper 5.1 small.jpg]

I removed the big empty part to the left to make them easier to see.

Please tell me which ones you like most or what you would like to see in a MD persona and I'll upload the best one(s).

Edit: Added one more persona

I like the idea!

But I'd like to see something similar to the old forum header..
It was a scene (winds sanctuary) but more... edited, so it fitted the purpose, not just scenes next to eachother, but more blending with the text on it.

[Pomegranate]

[color="#483D8B"]The text "magic duel" is positioned awkwardly on the screen. I think it would look best if you made it more of one of the dominant images other then trying to position it around the other images.[/color]
[color="#483D8B"]
[/color]
[color="#483D8B"]It's ok if it covers the background images and to be more large and more up-front in the fore ground.[/color]

[Kaya]

I made a new using the old forum header as inspiration, I also slightly edited the last one to emphasize MagicDuel a bit more.

Here is the new one:
[attachment=2770:MD serious 1.1 small.jpg]

The edited version of the previous persona is in the first post.

this is my favorite thus far. Very nice.

[Prince Marvolo]

Yes yes Samon, that one is very good!
Maybe try to get the text a little bigger maybe?

[Shadowseeker]

I think it's very good, but the transition is not so smooth. Maybe use different scenes so you continue having the road effect?

[Yrthilian]

yeah a little bit more tweaking and it will be perfect and i would love to use it on my FF but i would love to
see a land based one for each land

[Kaya]

I uploaded it on the personas website so you can see how it looks when wearing it, [s]but it hasn't been approved jet. [/s]you can find it here: https://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/394471

I'll continue working on it for a while by adding a few more details. I don't think I'm going to make the text much bigger to makke sure it'll fully show up when wearing it. When I have enough time I'll try changing the road a bit.

Maybe I'll make a version for each land when this one is fully finished, but that might take a while.

[Kyphis the Bard]

I would be intrigued to see a full MD theme, if you are able to make one...

[Muratus del Mur]

yeah exactly , make a NICE one (not fast merging of random pics) and I will award you a Anniversary Edition Aramor.
Good luck!

[Jubaris]

keep it up and even I'll use it as my theme

and replacing Liverpool's theme is not something to mock with

[Kaya]

Thanks for all your comments.
Here is an updated version It still needs a bit of work before I'll upload it, but I decided to show it already so you can point out anything you think should be improved and so you can see what I've been doing.

[attachment=2843:MD serious 1.4 small.jpg]

The main thing that needs improvement in my eyes is the road in front of the stairs.

[Chewett]

Bravo, Very nice.

[Shadowseeker]

Hm..very good indeed. YOu pointed out the road before the stairs already, I also think the left side should have a smoother transition towards the bird. Otherwise, really good.

[Prince Marvolo]

They keep getting better
Very nice

[Pomegranate]

I agree, the left side is a bit jarring. Either try to find a way to make the transition smoother or you can just remove it completely (the bird portion that is)

Otherwise it's really getting very good looking !

[Kaya]

I think this will be the final version (for now at least.) I'm moving the bird to the lower bar. That's all that's going to be on there, so I don't think it would be useful to upload it here.

[attachment=2866:MD serious 1.4 small.jpg]

Any comments are welcome, I'm going to upload it tomorrow morning, after that it usually takes about 24 hours to get approved.

[Shadowseeker]

Very nice...but I kinda dislike how bright the magic duel thing is. Think you could put one up without that please?

Edit: rather, it is the yellowish tinge that I dislike.

Replaced the yellow star with a smaller white one and slightly improved the quality of the text.

Any tips for improvements no matter how small are welcome.
