Final Fantasy Userbar Project

[Zanthos]

After making a couple of userbars, I was inspired to create a Final Fantasy project...with userbar's ofcourse. Basically, I'm attemping to chronicle every Final Fantasy character in userbar form. Now I'm not using an advanced program such as Photoshop for this, but rather a generator (quite advanced regardless). Specifically, "ubdesigner" allows me to accomplish what I'm trying to do here.

For each userbar, it takes me around 3hours (give or take) to complete even with a generator, so its no simple task! (Finding the right color combination, do-overs ect)

My general guidelines for this project are:
-Chronicle every character (even minor ones) from the FF series (I might need to use fanart or sketches for the lower FF's)
-Userbar text will be "Final Fantasy Character Fan" for example: "Beatrix Fan"
-I might deviate from this but the basic design will be a 100% opacity image of the character in the middle, flanked by the same image to the left and right, but with lower opacity, if that makes sense

First up is Final Fantasy IX

Right now I've got only 2 done! :( This is definately going to be a large undertaking on my part...but I am prepared! I'll post updates once I finish new characters. Comments/Suggestions always welcome!

Everyone needs userbars.

Are you going to do one of every character?

[Zanthos]

Yeah, I plan to make one of every character from every Final Fantasy...but seeing as I've only made 2 in the past 2 weeks...its gonna take awhile :D

[atlanteay]

3 hours?!!? it really shouldn't take that long o.O

however, good luck making one for every character.

Yep, I'm still alive and quite devoted to this project. Honestly I almost finished Steiner and the generator crashed on me. But I just recently had a surgery about 2 weeks ago so I was pretty tied up...I hope to finish some more up by tomorrow and I'll edit this post with some new additions.

Ok, maybe three hours for each was an overestimate...since I'm getting into the swing of things and all. It took me about 30 minutes (each) for the userbars above...doing my best here, but it might not all come out the best they can be (don't have Photoshop after all so can't do any fancy image rendering).
