hello! i have a lot of fun making  very tiny  graphics, so i’m taking requests!

:test_tube:  terms & expectations

  • anyone’s free to use, edit, or recolor these (unless it’s a button for your personal site)
  • general / decorative buttons will probably get added to my site’s free graphics page
  • i’ll do very simple animations upon request, but nothing flashy
  • keep in mind that my pixel art skills are limited. simple shapes? :+1: shading? :-1:
  • asking me to make changes to a completed graphic is ok
  • this is my first time taking requests, so please be patient!

hi! i would like to request a button!

basics: i want a graphic for my personal site and i want it to have an transgender symbol (:transgender_symbol:) in the middle of it. the background can be just a simple color. also i would like dithering for the whole graphic, if it’s possible (Stucki specifically)
graphic size: 88x31
color palette (optional): blue, white and pink!

how about this? dithering really shines when there’s a transition between colors, so i went with a gradient instead of a solid background

i like this! the only things that i would like to be changed are the background and the symbol, i would like the background to be darker and the symbol to be lighter. also i don’t know how to describe it but when people make gradients with pixels there is a way to make more… linear?? (i attached an image of some pixel gradient studies) i want the transitions to be more linear i think. (also just a small nitpick but i don’t want the symbol to touch the border… if that is possible to fix ofc)

also i’m sorry if this is a lot of nitpicks, i genuinely like the button!!!

I’m going to use the pencil button to link to my code jam entry.:slightly_smiling_face:

My request is a tiny yellow horizontal pencil, maybe 24 pixels long?

what you’re looking for is called ordered dithering. the stucki dithering algorithm looks like random dots, while ordered dithering has more of a linear pattern like the example you provided.

i loveee your inat button so i had to make a 32bit account to request an ebird button because i dont trust that i can do it myself rip

basics: just for general deco purposes on my personal site! it would be great if it could be similar to the inat button… they are sibling sites in my mind
graphic size: 88x31
link to style examples (optional): here is a reference for the logo: https://files.catbox.moe/dyc2wr.png !

thank you ^_^

Somewhere in my old room there’s a “Do You Ebird?” bumper sticker from my ornithology field class.
