Hey, I want to ask if you could somehow turn this into an avatar version for me to use on my dA account? A full-body avatar? Just re-scale a PNG version of the pic in Photoshop or something, using Image Size and then setting "Resample Image" to "Bicubic Sharper", and shrinking the width to 50 pixels, letting the height change itself so that the height and width are the same percentage of the original image dimensions.

Then crop the top and bottom so that Midday is in the center of the image, which, if done right, will make the image 50 pixels high.

Or...you can let me turn it into an icon, since I have experience with doing that sort of thing with Photoshop, but the reason I wanted you to do it is because that way, you wouldn't need to keep the watermark (since I couldn't really repost it anyway if the icon is so small, and the watermark would be hard to distinguish at that size, making it a sort of unreadable "blemish").

How much will it cost, though? ._. Do I need to get another ten-dollar Nintendo Prepaid Card, or...? I don't know if I'll be able to do that this time because with the holiday season fast approaching, I really want to save up for Smash Bros. 4 (Wii U and 3DS versions), the Gamecube Adapter, Pokemon Omega Ruby, and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire--and that's not even including the non-Nintendo stuff I want for Christmas... (Mega Man Archie Comics subscription renewal for one, not to mention some junk food). ._. And even then, I still have a con to prepare for very soon, in that I need to get an expensive pair of shoes to complete my Mario costume. ><; So...yeah. Maybe I should wait until after the holiday season to commission it. I might get a Nintendo Prepaid Card with any birthday money I get and use that to pay you, since my birthday is in January (on the 24th).

Ok, first if all, holy shit wall of text. Two, you can go ahead and make the Icon your self at no extra charge. :3

Can you send me a version of this without the watermark? Maybe I could try to figure out how to scale down the watermark separately and put it on there...hm... I'll try it scaling it down with the watermark on there, but if that doesn't work and makes the watermark unreadable, I'll let you know. ^^ *hugs you tightly*

As apart of my TOS, I cannot/will not give un-watermarked versions of finished commissions, and it doesn't quite matter if the watermark is unreadable at icon size, its still technically there

Ah, okay, understood. ^^ I scaled it down, but by doing so, the watermark disappeared altogether. D: Like, disappeared into the background.

....

I'm worried that I can't use this icon because the watermark just vanished from scaling down. Is...is it okay if I use it? I finished scaling it down, but...I don't want to get in trouble for accidentally causing a watermark to disappear... ._. I mean, I couldn't figure out how to make the watermark "stay" and not vanish. I just couldn't get it to work...I was able to scale down the image itself...just not the watermark... *worried*

Maybe I should try to make room in my signature on dA so that I can give you credit for the avatar. Hm...but I seem to lack room in my signature. Something needs to go from my signature. >< But what should go...? I was hoping that if I was able to leave the watermark in without it disappearing on me, that putting the credits in my signature (as opposed to on my dA profile page) wouldn't be necessary... ><;

Just credit me somewhere on your page, that's all you really need to do.
