Hello Folks, I now make renders of characters! And I take requests! Just tell me what character you want me to render but you must show me a picture of it first. Here are some examples below. Please tell me what you think ^^.

I've been holding onto this question for a long time... what exactly is a "render?"

I've been wondering that too. I think a render is just anything cropped from an original picture [Or that's what I though] Like a cut out. I always though these sort of things were 'Recolors' [That's what they were known as on Bebo] I dunno anymore...

But isn't that basically what the rest of us do as well, most of the time?

There are two types of renders:
The ones you are seeing in this thread are actually called recolours but commonly called renders for some reason or another(personally I never get why?), and they involve changing the look of a character to create an original character which can be used in R.P or whatever you would like.

The 2nd type of render is just to have a background removed from the image, so you are left with just the character, which is more useful for making graphics with (like Kovu in your sig)

Ahhhhh... thanks Flip :3

I'm afraid that is not a render let me explain. A render is the main character of the sig and ony one character. To render means to cut out the main character from a background to make him available for use in a sig.
The other render is close to what you do. But the principal is pretty much the same that there is no background but only the characters.
In other words a render must only be characters and no background at all in the pic. Once there is one its no longer a render its a sig or avatar or wallpaper

That's what I though a render was, but I started to get unsure when KP created this thread. Thanks for clearing this up x3
