Hey everyone! So as has been mentioned in our Facebook chat and in other posts on the Action Lounge, we've been working on some more graphics for the fed. We have graphics to be used on AW's boards, your character's Twitter account, and elsewhere on the Internet which will all be explained in this post.
Below, you'll find every member of the current roster listed. However, all of you will not have graphics listed and will instead have some placeholder text there instead. We've not yet completed everyone's grahpics yet for this project and it means nothing against you if yours isn't done yet. We started first with current champions, followed by participants in the following recent matches: US title battle royal at Clash 100, All-In match and world title match at Uprising: All-In PPV to get the most amount of people done initially. If you were in those matches and your graphics aren't in this thread yet, it's also because we couldn't find an available pre-existing version of your picbase with a transparent background. This would require us to manually cut them out in Photoshop which we will do once we've gone through the rest of the roster who have available pics for us to use.
Twitter Share / Forum Signature
This image will have multiple uses for Action Wrestling. One is for you to use in your forum signature IF you want to. You can also share this on your Twitter, again only if you want to. We will be sharing it on AW's Twitter with links to your profiles to help promote the fed and to get more eyes on your character and writing. The date when those posts will start popping up is still to be determined. Don't use this image as your Twitter profile photo or for avatars as it will look like crap and cut things off.
Twitter Profile Photo
THIS image is one that you can use on your Twitter Profile photo IF you want to.
Proboards Avatar
Finally, this image will be applied to everyone's account on the boards. Please do not change this. We know some of you hate having things forced on you like when we announced it was a rule that you couldn't change your profile name or use special characters. This will be a rule, too, to leave your proboards avatar as is.
This is also something you can use on other message boards for those of you who like to do interfed tournaments. If their boards allow custom avatars, you can use this to represent Action Wrestling (however, we encourage you to ask the admins of the board if an avatar with our logo on it is within the rules of their message board)
So why did we do this?
We did this for multiple reasons. We did this as something cool for the fed and something for you guys. We did this to make us look cooler and more like a real fed. The image with your name, nickname, etc. is inspired by AEW's roster images on their website. As mentioned in the Twitter Share image, we also did this for advertising purposes that you'll start seeing along with other images we've been creating alongside these.
What if my image is wrong or I don't like it?
So, with the picbases, we may be using the wrong one or wrong look for what your character is supposed to look like. Some of these picbases are of people who have changed their look for various reasons so if we got it wrong, PM Dandy and Gravedigger about it. In some cases it may have not been obvious what look you were going for and we just went with the one that was easiest to cut out or there was already a pre-existing version with a transparent background.
If you'd prefer that we use a specific image of your picbase, you can also PM that to Dandy or Gravedigger. However, we may not be able to do what you'd like in every instance because the picture may be one that ruins the graphic depending on the pose. Also, if you want a version that is too small for us to use, that would be another reason we'd say no. We'll try and compromise where possible.
What if I want a different nickname?
The graphic's text goes as follows:
Nickname
Superstar Name
Faction/Champion Status
We chose the nickname you have based on either the one you obviously use or if you have multiple ones listed but we weren't sure which one to go with, we just chose the one we thought you'd want. This can be changed if you want. Superstar name is obvious. For Faction/Champion Status, if you're a champion that status was added, but if you are not, and you're in a faction, we put that there.
If your character doesn't have a nickname, then you'll notice that line is gone. If your character isn't a champion or isn't in a faction, then you'll notice that line is gone.
What if I change my pic base or switch between Monday Night Clash and CruiserClash?
If you change your pic base, we may or may not notice and you'll need to let us know who you changed to so we can fix that in this thread and in our advertising for the fed's shows. Even though we should notice when you change shows, you may still have to remind us as we're all busy IRL, too, and sometimes overlook these kinds of things.
Finally, props to Dandy for making the design/template for these and Gravedigger for gathering the picbases and making the images. They're awesome and did a lot of work for you guys!
