*giggles* it's ok. If you voted on the nominations that are currently linked on the main homepage you earned this badge. If you nominated anyone that is being voted on right now you earned the nominator badge.

I've been surfing through this and the stamps thread, and I've had the Pokemon theme playing on repeat in my head the entire time.

Gotta catch em' all!

New nomination cycle!! Expect a new noming badge soon.

I'm so glad to see new badges coming for the current quarter. I'm still on my gotta catch 'em all thing XD

These badges are for people who make challenges. There are three levels.



What you need to do to earn each level:
Bronze - Make 3 Challenge
Silver - Make 7 Challenges
Gold - Make 15 Challenges

Hopefully they uploaded with the transparency, was having trouble getting it to work in PSP.

Edit: Apparently not. The white backgrounds in the Silver and Gold are supposed to be transparent and I attempted something different with the bronze (The black section is supposed to be transparent)

There still really cool and awesome! transparent or not!

Here's the URL to a white background bronze www.dokuga.com/images/gallery/pictures/banners_2/challengemakerbronze_20130130_1614123921.png

Is this still going on cause I would like to take the first drabble badge as I been in one so far ..o.o, I would also like to learn how to get them and make them ?

Whenever you complete something, nab a badge!

There should be some sort of tutorial on how to create the badges on the first page. I know it's somewhere in this thread.

There might only be a tutorial for the Photoshop template.... not GIMP. Sorry I don't have GIMP or know how to use it. If there is a good GIMP user out there it would be great if they could help in this. If there is no tutorial I shall make one tonight along with the nomination badge. (Sorry guys... trying to catch up on somethings RL)

Kneazles, I don't know GIMP well but check your layer settings. Maybe you turned off transparency... You saving as a PNG so that cant be the problem...

Those were done in PSP7, I downloaded GIMP recently (and played around with it in doing the stamps) because PSP7 only seems to handle transpencies in .gif and the psp7 file extensions. PSP7 would look nice and transparent before I save it and then after it saved, it would go white (or black)

hmm that shouldn't be.... if you are having a big problem you can try saving them in .gif that should preserver the transparency. I just think PNG looks better. When you save it should ask you if you want to preserver the transparency... It's been so long since I used 7 I cant remember what might be the problem. Try doing a google search. That might help.

Wish I could do more for ya.

All right everyone. Sorry for the wait but here are the badges for the current nominations and votes. I tried to make them look more unique than last time so I went for a day and night look. I hope it worked nice.

I have an idea for a new badge set!
If anyone is willing to make them that would be awesome.

My idea was Fanart Collector Badges

For those of us with lots of favorited fanart.... hehehehe

just a thought...

Well, I tried making a badge in Gimp and this is what I managed. I couldn't figure out how to add a border and it came out a bit too shiny. >.>

Anyway, if anyone wants it, here it is. The cute fanart used for this badge belongs to Sesshomarusama33. You need to have written 4 one-shots to grab this one.

So part of being back in the community is resurrecting some of my old challenges and other contributions I enjoyed making to Dokuga. Like stamps and badges.

So badges will once again be appearing!

If you have a great idea for a badge to collect please post it and I will be happy to add one. I will be adding a few over the next couple days. Thanks all for the wonderful welcome back and I hope I can once again be a contributor to the community and that everyone has fun with the badges.

And here they are as promised. These are higher level badges so getting to Kami level will not be easy. It is meant to be a true achievement. Also I have resposted some edited version of the first two in the series... less ummm garish.

These use to be given for taking part in Drabble/Draw nights. But I think they are less common then they use to be so I am changing the requirements for the new badges. The qualification numbers should be about the same based off of how many prompts are in a DDN.

Drabble Badges rules:
1. This counts either short one shot drabbles, chapters in a drabble series, or individual drabbles in a drabble collection. Yes each chapter dose count as it's own drabble.
2. This dose NOT count chapters to chapter stories.
3. Drabbles must be between 100 and 1000 words.

The Badges: Post 5 Drabbles

Post 10 Drabbles

Post 25 Drabbles

Post 50 Drabbles

Post 75 Drabbles

Post 100 Drabbles

Post 200 Drabbles

Post 500 Drabbles

Yes I know the last three are hard to get to, but that's the idea.

These are the badges for the Dokuga Awards that I missed while I was MIA. People who Nominated and Voted for others in last years awards are allowed to grab a badge. Sorry I was gone and missed the chance to share these at award time.

note: quickly edited so that Kagome and Sesshoumaru look at each other if you collect both badges and place them side by side in order.

OMG a whole new badge! I know its been a while but I will be working on some more. Here it is.
Write 4 stories or more featuring Kouga and/or his wolf pack.

ok so two badges
Write 4 stories or more featuring Inu papa.

Should I make more badges for more characters?

This one goes out to all you Dokuga Supporters. Those who have donated this year to keeping Dokuga alive.
