@
suburbansamurai I was wondering how accent coverage is calculated, since I recently found an accent that has 44% coverage (normal accent, not a holiday accent) - if covering pixel is a pixel that is over 0% opaque (alpha > 0/255).
The accent mentioned would fall precisely in the 30% coverage if the opacity treshold was 31% (alpha > 105/255).
So what is the exact rule for the accent coverage calculation and to what is it compared to? Can I for example take a random dragon from Scrying Workshop and the accent coverage is ex. "all pixels 30% or more opaque than in the reference dragon"?
I'm just wondering since I just made a skincent which I'm about to submit as a skin, but it could be an accent if the rules about transparency aren't so strict I thought they were.

Sorry to bother you but I'm a little shocked because my order was denied saying
"The use of clip art, photos, and brushes not created by the artist are prohibited. If the images and patterns used in this design were created by you, please resubmit and the design will be evaluated with that in mind. If these images and patterns are not your own work, please do not resubmit."
Is there any reason for this?? I painted all of this myself without using any clipart or whatever, the same as all of my other art D:
I really feel kind of hurt, I even uploaded a WIP of the design a couple of days ago in my accent thread
(at the bottom of this page) before finishing it, and I could send you the sai files or some progress shots if you'd like..
I would really like to know if it's okay if I just submit it again or of it will be denied, because I have a lot of people waiting for this accent and I can't just abandon it. :(
My submission number was #17721 btw
( I also submitted a Royal version with the number #17731 but I'm guessing that will be denied as well ? )

Laika923 You've solved one of the site's on going mysteries! Laika, you've made my day!
@
BunnyKei Thank you.
@
Kleinu Fixed.
@
aapa That was probably an older accent before we had figured out a more accurate way to measure coverage. The site admins decided not to retroactively change older accents that had gone over 30% from that period to skins. Currently we calculate coverage using the
method described here.
@
Akihiko We've received quite a few reports of users submitting modified clipart. It's very hard to police since there is a lot of clip art out there, and google searches can only help so much. Also, some users who are doing this may just not be aware it's against the rules. The site admins request that anything that remotely resembles clip art (especially repeating floral or geometric patterns) receive a warning notice. If it is not clip art, resubmit your design and it will be assumed as original art.

@
SuburbanSamurai Okay, thank you for the fast reply!
I just submitted both runs again and hope I won't run into any more problems :)

SuburbanSamurai I had an accent which is entirely my own work denied for the same reason as Akihiko. Given that I draw a lot of flowery accents & ones with patterns, should I expect to have to submit those future accents twice just to confirm that my work is my own (& my accents are all
always my own work so this feels frankly kind of frustrating)? Since I'm thinking of offering copies to others, I'd like to be able to warn people of the potential extra wait time for prints. :/

@SuburbanSamurai Or not, since it certainly falls under 30% with the method you linked. I seemingly thought the rules about coverage were a lot more conservative than they actually were. Thanks for clarification! :)

@
suburbansamurai mind if I be a bother one more time?
Just this one, I sent it in amidst the apostrophe trouble, but now it's fixed would you be able to punctuate it for me?
Should be: Jadrian's Gift
Thank you so much! <3

@Melodist PNG"24" with transparency is really PNG32, so it should be ok. Maybe it should be mentioned in the tutorial? (ping @SuburbanSamurai)

[quote]If you regualrly use Photoshop then you'll know that "Save for Web" only offers PNG8 or PNG24 file types in the drop down.
As I'm sure most of you know all you do is tick the "transparency" box in "Save for Web" and you get a alpha transparent PNG. But really what this is doing is creating a PNG32 graphic - Photoshop just decides to hide this from you. Strange...[/quote]

[quote]24 bit + alpha is actually 32 bits per pixel. Meaning you have the Red, Green, Blue and Alpha channels, each being 8 bit, allowing for 256 shades per channel translating to 256 x 256 x 256 x 256 possible colour combinations. That's what the "millions of colours" and "billions of colours" mean in certain graphics and video software.[/quote]

@
aapa Thanks! The accents came through yesterday and they look fine! I haven't had a chance to amend my post but I'll do that now!
