This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing widgets.
You can drag and drop to rearrange.
You can edit widgets to customize them.
The bottom has widgets you can add!
Some widgets you can only access when you get a premium membership.
Some widgets have options that are only available when you get a premium membership.
We've split the page into zones!
Certain widgets can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.
Don't forget, restraints can bring out the creativity in you!
Now go forth and astound us all with your devious profiles!
Greetings everyone! I have news, good news? ...Well it isn't bad news. Any way I just wanted to say that I'm very close to opening my shop on etsy. It's just a matter of clicking 'open shop'. Before I do that though I wanted to ask, what do you use to keep your bead sprites in one piece when shipping them? I was thinking about using bubble wrap or some soft substance at first, but I was also thinking about using some kind of good tape to hold it still while it's being shipped. I'll be shipping sprites that are 2 x 4 boards, 3 x 3 boards and bigger. Any suggestions?
Comments are most appreciated. ^^ I read your comments, even if I don't reply to all of them.
Hey my name is Juan, I love wolves and my favorite color is green. I'm a bead artist. I am having a hard time deciding if I want to sell my bead art, because I love my creations so much. I play a lot of games everything I play is pretty much in my favorites. I play Smash bros a lot more than I should. I play all kinds of games, from outgoing games, like mario, to brutal games like mortal kombat. I just can't figure out my favorite kind of game.

First, I wanted to apologize about a couple comments I had a long time ago and that I sounded like a real dick. It bothers me when people don't credit sprites, but I was really harsh before and I could have nicely told you the original creators. So my sincerest apologies! D;
How do you make your bead sprites? I've been considering making a couple of my sprites into glorious beads to show off to everyone haha
To answer your question, it's a simple matter of getting the supplies. You'll need pegboards, beads, an iron, and ironing paper. I take whatever sprite I'm using, open it in a photo editing program, (I use Gimp) put the sprite in a 29 by 29 pixel grid to see how many boards it uses. Then I shrink the grid to 1 by 1 pixels (each pixel is a represents bead) and bead accordingly. Here is a visual demonstration. [link] Hope that helps. If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask. ^^
It's a little hard to explain, but you can. For large bead sprites, you should iron it section by section. (Basically pegboard by pegboard) When you iron a section, you should put something heavy and flat on top of it. (Such as a textbook or something similar) Let the section cool down for a while, once done, move on to the next section and repeat. Pretty much, just iron the pieces as if they were puzzles.
Now, if you mean to bead part of a sprite iron it then bead the rest of it, and iron those pieces together... Well I haven't tried it that way, but I do believe that works. I hope that helps.
