Question question!!

For the rating badges, do one-shots/DDN stories count? I have ONE story full of DDN individual stories, because I don't like having x amount of stories on my profile.

So technically, I have other ratings than just the couple that are on my profile.

The Artists from the Dokuga Stamp Collecting and Trading Club have decided to create and offer a new bit of profile bling. Badges!

Now how are badges different then stamps? Well badges are like achievements. Unlike badges which are free to take if you like them, badges must be earned. Each artist that posts their badge will list the requirements for their badge. Now this exchange is 100% faith based, so we hope that everyone who takes a badge meets those requirements. This is not meant to be a competition it's purely for fun. So please enjoy earning you're badges all you Dokuga scouts out there!

Uploading Rules:
1. All badges must be 100% YIM friendly. Please keep it all PG.
2. Respect copyrights. If using fan art get permission from the artist.
3. Due to copyright Dokuga dose not allow Inuyasha manga images. Please do not use them.
4. List all requirements for your new badge.
5. Please used the provided templates
6. Save stamps as PNG NOT JPG. JPG's do not save transparencies.
7. All badges should be free of time limits. Exceptions include Badges awarded for participating in events like the Dokuga Awards.

Collecting Rules:
1. Please only collect badges that you meet the requirements for. This is faith based so please play fair.
2. Unless they are for specific events badges are always open.
3. Enjoy

Resources:
Circle Badge Template
Square Badge Template

complete badge collection can be found here!

I plan on making more badge templates including an oval, square, and diamond shaped badges. Any other ideas please let me know.

My onoly problem with this currently is that I cannot change the border;
Am I just inept and doing something wrong?? -_____________-;;

you can change the border. What do you want to change about it?

My first badge.

Made to test my template (I didn't really have a good idea for a badge yet).

to change the color of the boarder select the color square by the boarder shape (should be second layer). If you want to replace the texture I made to make it look like a stitched badge, open the "texture boarder" folder. There you can turn off the textures I haven't made a layer to make the boarder easily editable in more ways than that. I can if you want.

that was kinda the intention. I though it would be nice if they all looked like stitched badges like for the scouts. But I can add a mask to make it so you can add your own patterns and textures. It would be no problem. I'm not attached to them being that uniform.

No - that's fine! If they're meant to be uniform I can fig it! I appreciate the consideration though :3 No worries!



Requirement: Must have made one stamp!

hehe it would really be ok. I don't mind the boarders being editable. It would be nice to have different textures.

I did some fiddling. There is an easy way to edit the boarder if you want. Just use the selection tool on the shape layer. It will select the circle.. then on a new layer above it do whatever textures you want. Just delete or turn off the texture layers I made.

Requirements: Five Dokuga Stamps Made

Requirements: Must have Completed Five or More Challenges

So can I get the lvl 1 badge for having a bunch of stamps on my profile?

That's right!
As long as you meet the requirements then you can snag the badge;
The Lvl 1 Hoarder Badge is for those that have five stamps or more on their profile.

yep that's the idea

Newbie Drabbler!

Participate in one Draw/Drabble night.
Participate in 5 Draw/Drabble nights

what do you think. I am planning a few more. Thinking the titles Journeyman, Master, Alpha, and Daiyoukai. Not sure though.. any suggestions?

I'm probably missing something but what kind of stamp are you referring to? Is it something posted on the 'Wall'?

More ideas...
word count ranges of kagsess writing
types of plots or cliches?
- modern day (youkai in tokyo)
- AU canon (inu no taisho lives, kagome met sesshoumaru first)
- high school
- corporate world
- after the battle

stamps are a thing that I started as a fun decorative game in Dokuga. Check them out here and join the fun of collecting them :)

Thank you! I was wondering where everyone was getting the nifty looking tokens/stamps on their profiles!

Thank you so much! I'm off to see which ones strike my fancy!

Some more ideas, badges for cliches/themes that have been written in a fic.
- Kagome knocking Sesshoumaru out (for whatever reason) - Winner and still champion...
- Meeting Inu-mom - Surviving the Mother-in-Law from ***
- Not a sex-god.

I think I may have already mentioned the word count idea for a badge
0-25,25-50,50-100,100+

Crackfics?
Self-inserts?

I want to "commission" one of you to make an "I voted" badge for votes, and next quarter an I nominated too.

Nominations have been down so much in the last year, This year 2012, after 2nd quarter i think we're going to be going to a half year nomination time frame. I'm hoping it'll give people more to chose from and help the totals be a bit more fair then just the popular authors/artist that usually get nominated.

plus as popular as stamps and badges are i think people would do it just so they could gain them.

please let me know if someone's interested in doing the voting 1 for first quarter.

This was the original reason I designed the badges, my trail stamp was for nominations I would be happy to make a badge for the nominations. As long as people can respect others and not ask who they nominated.
