hi everyone! i’m ariie, and i’ve been making graphics on gimp since 2013. i became a graduate artist in 2014, but i left tda god-knows-how-many months later, so make of that what you will! my gallery is here on hpft if you’d like to take a look at my style ❤️

graphics i’ll make: signatures/signature sets, banners, awards, chapter images, headers, dividers. please specify dimensions if you can! (700x150 banners only, though. after finding a banner size that doesn’t completely hate me, i will never touch another set of banner dimensions again.)

sites you can use them on: hpft (archive or forums), any rp site, tda, shadowplay. nothing on tumblr, ao3, or ffn, please, but you can ask for any other places!

slots: two at a time. any one (1) graphic item counts as one request, regardless of size - with the exception of signature sets and matching graphics (such as awards).

turnaround: feel free to PM me if i take any longer than a week! ?

notes: i use gimp 2.8 and 2.10, mostly the latter. so i’m happy to make any changes you need, but if it involves anything except the coloring, the colors might turn out a little different. you can choose if you’d like me to try and replicate the original coloring, or if i should just treat it like a new graphic i haven’t colored before! there are also some bases i won’t be able to edit, depending on the base and what you want changed. please don’t worry that you’re bothering me if you ask for changes, even more than once - i really don’t mind doing them ❤️ ofc, some things just don’t work, and that’s completely fine, too! you can cancel your request.

if you have any albums or links re: character/people photos, that’d be brill. and finally, please remember to rehost and credit hotel california @ hpft when using my graphics! ?

Hey there! Do you mind if I snag this spot?

Story and Author Name, including link: Their Little Brother+ (M) by ImaRavenclaw

Graphic type/dimensions: 700x150

Sites you intend to use the graphic on: Just HPFT for now.

What you'd like on the graphic: Take all of this with a grain of salt and just do what is easiest for you!! I had originally requested a way more complicated version of this graphic over on HPFT, but now I'm realizing that even I would like it better if it were more simple. So the characters... Fully upfront I'd like two pictures of Harry Potter, one from 3/4 year times where he looks a little dorky, and one from 6/7 where he's attractive. If possible an inclusion of something to show that time has past and he's grown up, would be great. Then the next layer would be Max Irons and Robert Pattinson (I'd prefer them both clean shaven and looking 19-23 and 17 - 20 respectively). These two characters are together, so anything you can do to represent that is great but not a must. And then in the back you can have Lily and James with a baby (doesn't matter if it has to be in a carrier, just something to represent that there's a baby in the story and it's there.) I have no preference on who you use for Lily and James, as long as they look the way they should look (red/dark hair, tall, late 30s, etc.) If you could also incorporate the Weasleys somewhere in the graphic (even in a tiny small insignificant way, like a picture of the burrow in the corner or whatever. I'd also like my pennmame. The rest is fully up to you, colouring, font, animation, etc. It's generally a pretty happy story, but there are definitely life problems.

Lol sorry for the double post but my edit window closed and I meant TDA. Thanks for doing this! I'm sure no matter what you make the graphic will be amazing.

don't mind me just sliding in to take the second slot here

Story and Author Name, including link: sixth times the charm

Graphic type/dimensions: story banner i think the archive dimensions are 700 by 150 if my memory serves

Sites you intend to use the graphic on: just hpft for now

What you'd like on the graphic: sophie skelton as lily evans 1 2 3 4 5 6 and blake stevens as james potter 1 2 or jeremy irvine as james potter whichever one works better for you the mood and tone of the story is a rom com, funny, light-hearted, lots of oblivious jealousy happening and pining you can have like flowers in the background if you want or hogwarts related pictures like the castle or the quidditch pitch and i don't really have any colour preferences as long as it isn't anything dark thanks so much

both spots taken for now! i will get to these as soon as i can ❤️?

Posted

should've opened up the story links earlier, heh ? just to be totally sure, @lebensmude, do you want the text on the banner to say 'sixth time the charm' like it does on the archives, or 'sixth times the charm' like you wrote here?

Posted

i'm glad you like it!! ❤️

one spot taken (tangents), and one spot open! ?

ariie ?? can i snag that second spot??

Story and Author Name, including link: ten thousand summer nights

Graphic type/dimensions: banner 700 x 150

Sites you intend to use the graphic on: hpft

What you'd like on the graphic: [this includes text, characters/faceclaims, mood/theme, specific items/settings, etc] ok so the two characters are francisco lachowski as james potter and victoria justice victoriya krum and i'd definitely like both of them on it. i'd like the title on it as well please! the fic was written for lo's make maraudertimes swoon" challenge and it's a prequel to a wip i've got now about their first kiss so it's lots swooning and flirting. there's a lot of imagery about "golden hour" and that type of ligthing, so it'd be cool if you could incorporate that into the banner somehow, with the coloring, but i'm not super picky, whatever works is really good with me! other than that, the majority of the fic just takes place on a rooftop and things are generally happy 

(i'm super sorry if that's not specific enough and happy to answer any questions if needed)

Story and Author Name, including link: Of Balls and Blood Status

Graphic type/dimensions: 700x150

Sites you intend to use the graphic on: HPFT

What you'd like on the graphic: tom felton and emma watson, from fourth or fifth year? it's a very silly Dramione parody and I don't have anything specific in mind so whatever works best for you is great with me! also I would love if my penname (BellaLestrange87) could fit somewhere!

 

thank you!

HEY EVERYONE I GOT HER TO MAKE A DRAMIONE BANNER

lemme just snag this spot real quick (i'm editing in the details)

Story and Author Name, including link: lebensmude (it's in the queue on the archives but i'm just including a link to AO3 to indicate that it has been posted but i will not be using the graphic on AO3 just the archives)

Graphic type/dimensions: 750 x 150 i think that's the dimensions for a banner on the archives

Sites you intend to use the graphic on: just the archives

What you'd like on the graphic: for the main character tatjana i would ideally prefer elvana gjata for the faceclaim and if that doesn't work then xhensila myrtezaj and if THAT doesn't work then Dua Lipa 1 2 3 4 is also an acceptable alternative generally i want their vibe to be intimidating and rich and too pretty to be bothered and for James Potter i want manish dayal 1 2 3 4 (honestly anything where he looks criminally attractive will do regardless of expression) the general vibe of the story is drama and a clashing of personalities between james and the main character and they're constantly at each other's throats with some shenanigans and lots of snarky humour thrown in so i'm picturing some sparks thrown in there maybe, maybe witch weekly in the background in funky font and of course the title. no dark colours please, it's mostly a light, entertaining story if you want some music that fits the general vibe try +this and +this
