Graphics Collection from CD's Ultra-Fine House of Style

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Well, if you were somehow led by our Lord to do so, I think you might have enough material you can draw on from your dynasties and/or your own life to help you do so, seeing as you've been around for more than eighty years now in this world of ours. And I can say for a fact that if you were able to put together a novel of sufficient enough quality, and I could get it, I certainly would, EC. I'd definitely love to read a great more about Ruthlandia and Tycobbia, for instance, than I've so far been able to. And I really don't think I'm the only one around here who would, either.

But we each have to do as the Lord leads, as best as we can, whenever we can and all, you know, in our respective lives. I really don't know how much longer either of us, for instance, will continue to live in this world, of course. However, I do know that we won't leave this world before God allows it to happen, either by calling us Home to be with Him, or letting others kill us later on, somehow, for sure.

I don't expect that the world that we know will exist until 2035 before all that must happen in it does happen, no matter what it is, at the very latest. Possibly we may be quite close to going Home somehow, for I believe our King is coming soon, so we'd best do what we can to be ready to meet Him. A lot of troublesome times are coming to this entire world, if they're not already here. And one day, we will see our King face-to-face, whether we've left this world by death or not by the time He returns.

I long for His coming, but until my time on Earth is done, or until He returns to it in strength and glory and power, I intend to do what I can to do His will as often and as well as possible, occupying until He comes, as His Word says to do. And, of course, staying faithful to Him and His ways as best as I possibly can, while I'm still here.

When and if you get a new computer, EC, do NOT forget to copy ALL your most important files and folders and programs, even if they're not really related to your music collection or your OOTP games, for instance, as best as you can. Especially your most sensitive files and pictures and all, of course. And remember to try and avoid getting Win 11 on it for as long as possible, if at all possible. Stick with Win 10 as long as you can, no matter what it takes. And don't get rid of your old computers, either. You may very well need them later, for sure, if certain things happen, as I'm sure they very well might in this world. Best to have a working machine that isn't so easy to get into for those who have no business knowing certain personal information, et cetera, on any device or computer, most definitely. Or at least one, anyway, that is.

Talk more later, as time allows and all, I'm sure. Lord willing, of course, you know. But for now, I suppose I'd best be getting around to doing certain things either around the house or on this computer as soon as possible, at the very least, for sure, EC. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Make as sure as you can that your new computer does NOT have Win 11 on it, but Win 10, before you use it. If it has Win 11, have it replaced ASAP with Win 10, if possible, at least for security's sake, if not for any other possible reason or reasons as well, EC. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

In fact, insist on it, that your new system uses Windows 10, not 11, as its base OS, Eugene. You absolutely DO NOT want or need Win 11 on any computer right now, if ever, for sure, just so you know, if you want to be wise and as safe as possible with your important enough data and all. I repeat, YOU DO NOT WANT OR NEED Windows 11 on your computers, at all, point-blank, for sure, at this time, if EVER! CD out.

What do you not like about Windows 11, CD?

I spoke to a computer repairman, who went to a Windows 11 seminar and has it on his computer... he was a Beta tester for it... he says it works well.

He said it is an improvement over Windows 10.

My friend, who will hook up my new computer and transfer all my data, should have an opinion... I'll see what he thinks... he has built my last 3 computers... he told me I can get a better computer these days that has already been built... parts are sky-high in price... he said this computer I just bought would have cost much more if he did it using the same parts.

Hope you and yours have a safe and happy 2022, Lord willing, as well. CD out.

How about these?

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Very nice, rocknfire7. Although the Gateway Arch won't exist for quite a while in the applicable timelines for certain dynasties of mine, seeing as in at least one dynasty, the current year is 1876, and in at least two other dynasties, it is not even 1920 yet.

I do really like these two items here, however. Thank you for making them. Do you think you could use a fleur-de-lis design on the logos for alternate versions in place of the Arch-related graphical image, so I can then perhaps use them at least until the Gateway Arch exists in the applicable timelines, please? I will certainly save these for future use, of course, just so you know. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

Very nice work as always, rocknfire.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Here are some potential Claxton Diamonds items for you to perhaps consider for potential use in your IPA, and for jg2977 to perhaps consider using in his IPA as well, EC. I may eventually do at least some, if not several, colored uniforms and caps as well for Claxton. But seeing as we can only put up to five attachments normally in a single post here, any other items I might make for Claxton will have to be posted in certain other posts here, of course. The font in question here is Studebaker NF, just so you know, EC and jg2977 and everyone else. That is all. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

Thank you for doing these, CD.

They are OK and fairly well done... thanks for using my colors...they are just not my style as far as texture and shading.... you make your gray jerseys a little too dark for me.

Please don't do anymore work on the Claxton Diamonds for me.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Of course, I can reduce or eliminate the shading on the above items that may have it, if you want me to. Wouldn't be a problem for me, I think, really. Do you want me to? Please advise. Thank you, EC. CD out.

No, CD, don't make any revisions... it is nice of you to offer, but even with the changes in textures, shading and away gray jersey, I still wouldn't use them... you style on the caps is just not my taste.

However, you did a nice job on these... they look pretty good.

Why do you use the color Gray on the Home hat?... why not use Blue or Green?... don't make these changes for me... I just point it out to improve the looks of the caps... the Gray hat is fine for the Away cap.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

No, I used white on the home cap, but it looks more gray because of the shading here, actually, for the front panel. Just so you know, EC. I didn't use any texture on any of the items, either. It wouldn't be a problem to do as I said, though, for the relevant items, in truth. It probably would only take me a few minutes or so, at most, to make any perhaps needed changes to them, and save them, I think. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Here are basically the same items for Claxton Diamonds, but without shading for them here this time. That is all. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Feel free to use them or not as you like, EC. I won't be offended if you don't, of course, but I do hope you choose to use at least one or two of these items here, you know. I think the shading helps in this case for certain uniforms and caps here, so that the text pops out better against the backgrounds they're on, in truth. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

I haven't done any potential colored alternates yet, EC. But even if I'm the only one who might ultimately use them, I still might do some for them, and post them here later on, for people to look at and all, for sure. That's if I'm not doing anything else between now and then, of course, you know. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

Thank you for the revision... I didn't mean for you to take out all shadings... just make them lighter... as you can see, these are too plain for most people... I don't think many people would use these jerseys.

Please don't do any more work on the Claxton Diamonds... I appreciate the effort, but would rather you use your time on your projects.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Not a problem, but just wanted to see if I could help you out somehow, and maybe even do some things I might even use myself, even if it's not necessarily how I might often do certain items around here, EC. They should look very nice in the game, especially if and when at least one new Claxton Diamonds logo is made in response to your graphics request related to them, I think. Once that logo or those logos are made, that might even allow me to use the logos on the shoulders, if I so choose, you know. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

In the meantime, while I try to figure out how to continue my story or certain stories that may be stalled at the present time, I might even try to tackle some other teams in my various OOTP dynasties, whether they're current ones or planned ones in those dynasties. For instance, the teams that are now present in the United States Baseball Association of 1876 for my OOTP 21-related Earth Baseball Association, at least, will eventually need new items made or found/collected for them, if they're not already made or found/collected, for sure.

For instance, the Oakland Quakes and the Los Angeles Directors, for example, will most definitely need certain items done or collected for them. Even if the specific franchises they'll each trace themselves back to are actually going to be using different locations and/or team names for themselves in at least 1876, if not for quite a bit longer than that, in said dynasty.

So watch this thread for many more potential items for those teams' future identities and/or locations, as you like and can and all, EC. While I don't necessarily have logos for many of the relevant teams, if I don't already have uniforms and/or caps made and/or collected for those teams, either now or later, I'll certainly see what I can do for those teams, if and whenever possible and all, for sure. It may take me a while, of course, but we'll all just have to see what happens here, you know, in the future. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Here are some prospective items for the Oakland Quakes so far, using colors approximately the same, more or less, as the colors for the USFL's Oakland Invaders from the 1980's. Not necessarily exactly the same colors or shades of them, mind you, but still similar, in any case. The font in question here is Ampire Warped, for your information, folks. As for logos, I'll definitely need some help with them from others around here, obviously. That's all for now, then, I think, folks. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

When I get some caps done for High Mesa, to go with some uniforms I made just a few minutes ago, I'll certainly post both them and the new prospective uniforms together as quickly and as best as I can, in no more than a few posts, if more than one post. Shouldn't take me too long to do them, once I do them, I think. They should be up by this time tomorrow, at the latest, I think. Hopefully enough here, you'll happen to like them, once you see them, but if you don't, then so be it, of course, EC. CD out.
