You may request resizing via my profile or PM.
Resizing/Modifying
My Rulez
Updated March 15, 2010
These rulez are subject to change at any time. Please check them each time you post an order.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
∞ You must include the Secret Word with your order ∞
...it's in here somewhere! Read the rules and you'll find it!
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
∞ I will not vm or pm you ∞
...when your order is complete OR if I have any questions regarding your order.
Subscribe to my thread and come back and check for a response to your post.
Resizing is almost always done within 36 hours (more often within 12).
I do not have a pick up station... your order will be posted as a quoted REPLY to your post.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
∞ Use what I make/resize for you ∞
...DO NOT bring me stuff unless and until you are going to use it! You can only use 1 avvie siggie at a time so don't bring me more than that at once!
Only request resizing and custom graphix for yourself! Do not ask for resizing or custom graphix for someone else or someone at your shop. If you've made a graphic that is too big then please send that person here. If you find this is happening often here's a link to my shop which you are welcome to post on your thread... ♥CoCoaBean's Shop♥
I'm sorry, but I will not resize something that is a copy of my Animated Webkinz Idea. MORE on this...
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
∞ Custom Graphix ∞
Only available when Post #2 says they are OPEN!
Currently all sections of my shop are OPEN!
Check post #2 to find out more. Each custom section also has it's own rules and forms. I will only make you one custom graphic or a/s set every 2 weeks. I determine what set means.
I expect you use the graphix I make for you for at least a few days! I'm not making album pix here I'm making avvies!!!... so album use DOES NOT COUNT!!! But I'd love it if you stored the avvies I make for you in your WI albums when you're done using them! If you don't like the one I make for you please tell me and I will do my best to fix it so you do like it. If you do not use the avvie I make for you please don't ask for another one... I don't have time to be making things that aren't going to be used! If I find out that you aren't using, never used, or don't plan to use something I made for you I won't make you anything else. You may NOT request orders for someone else!!!
* I will not vm or pm you when I have questions or when your order is done.
Subscribe to my thread and watch for my reply to your post with questions or your finished order. If I have questions regarding your order, please answer them and repost the ENTIRE order including all pix from the original order so I don't have to go back and look at it!!!
My ORDER FORMS - copy EVERYTHING from the spoilers into your post and fill it out with the info that I am requesting from you or I will not make your avvie. YES, I am aware that it is a long form. I'm hoping that having to paste it into orders will ensure that everyone reads it so I don't have to ask a bunch of questions before making an order! You may delete from your post my purple text in the form after you've filled it out, just make sure numbers 1-4 have some kind of response in them!
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
∞Video ∞
If you are bringing me video that you or another person made I will only resize 1 every 2 weeks. AND - I can only resize video that is from a 1-4 second video clip. If you bring me something that is hundreds of thousands of kb I CAN'T do it!!!! If you can record screen video... great... but it's the resizing that's tricky. Don't record for more than 2 seconds if you are a regular WI member or more than 4 seconds if you have WI2.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
∞ Doll Avvies ∞
Dollz from www.blinkiebee.com ... you must post the original doll with no personalization AND the doll with the personalization!!! This is because when I crop the name off I put it over the original doll so the blinkiebee logo won't show and I don't want to have to go look for your doll on blinkiebee!!!! For dolls from www.dollzmania.com you do not need to post the original.
I will only resize 1 doll per week for you. (I consider almost everything at www.blinkiebee.com to be "dolls" whether they are actually dolls or not. So make sure to follow rule #4 for everything from blinkiebee!)
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
∞ Look in Post #2 ∞
You'll find the secret word at the bottom.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Resizing & Modifying
*Personalized Dolls from www.blinkiebee.com are usually 132x100
and I can resize those to 125x100 for you here!
..................Doll from blinkiebee ................Doll after modifications...............
.....108x132pixels 98.9 kb ................108x125 61.1kb.........
 ........... 
*Avvie size varies for WI2 Members
I can personalize any of these dolls here with your name too.
This is the original gif file below (left)... it is 62.7 kb... too big
(unless you are an Insider "Insider")
The length and width is 100x120 which is fine for WI avvies.
 ...........
Original Doll .........................Modified Doll
62.7 kb ..............................31.7 kb
Here is another example of shrinking something to a smaller length and width!
Isn't she cute!
More examples of what I can do!
Original 76 kb...  .....Resized for avvie use 36 kb...  .....
Resized for avvie use (it used to be huge!)...
I also made one with a transparent background
 ............................
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Graphix Size Limits for WI ~ I will resize your graphix to meet these specs!
Avatars
WI Members ~ 125 by 125 pixels or 48.8 KB
WI2 Members ~ 125 by 125 pixels or 97.7 KB
Signatures
WI Members ~ 450 by 150 pixels or 29.3 KB
WI2 Members ~ 450 by 150 pixels or 58.6 KB

If you find something in one of my albums located within this folder HERE you may copy and paste it into your post and I will remove the "COCOA" from the graphic and personalize it with your name!
*there are several sub folders within this album and I will periodically add new things
Additional RULEZ for these!!!
All applicable rules from post 1 apply.
Please add the secret word Amalthea to your order!
(You may only ask for 1 of these graphics to be personalized per week!
Once you choose something I will delete it from my album
and will not personalize it for anyone else.)

Webkinz Avvies
∞Transparent Style ∞
See MORE examples HERE and HERE
DO NOT USE ANY OF THE FINISHED AVVIES OR SIGGIES IN MY GALLERY ALBUMS other than to paste them into your request for examples of how you want text or frames, etc.
THESE WERE MADE FOR OTHER PEOPLE AND I DO NOT GIVE ANYONE BUT THE PERSON I MADE THEM FOR PERMISSION TO USE THEM!
Order Form ~ Read Carefully!
If you do not do this correctly I will NOT make your graphic!
Webkinz Transparent Style Avvie Form -
Please copy and paste everything from this spoiler into your post and fill out completely! PLEASE delete my PURPLE text from your answers before posting your order. Just make sure you fill in SOMETHING in each number from 1-4. Everything in BLACK must be left in your post!
1. WEBKINZ - Post which webkinz you want. - by this I mean THE PICTURE OF IT!!! Not just the name!!! Use the transparent png images from the WI avvies section or the png images from the pets section on the upper menu bar! Copy it to your computer and then upload it to tinypic or some other site... DO NOT hot link (copy & paste) to WI's images or I won't make your avvie!
2. BACKGROUND ANIMATION OR ACCESSORY - If you would like you may choose an accessory for the background or foreground of your graphic, you may choose from my albums HERE
(* this album contains sub-albums with more stuff like jewelry for your pet) or you may bring me anything from the web to use if it is transparent. You may copy and paste any of the things from my albums into your post so I know what you want but do not hot link to other stuff on the web. If you find something from the web save it to your computer and upload it to www.tinypic.com and post the tinypic link for me. If you hot link to a web image I will not use it for your avvie. Depending on the additions you choose I may put your avvie onto the blue color of the forum background so that I can keep more animation in it. In these cases they may not be truly transparent, but will appear as those they are in your posts. You may choose either an animation or jewelry - not both!
3. PERSONALIZATION - Post the personalization you want (ex- your name or WI user ID) and what type of text you want. Please feel free to copy and paste any of the images from my gallery albums of avvies for others into your post so I know exactly what you want regarding text! If you have no preference regarding text then type "no preference" and I will choose what I think looks best.
4. OTHER INFO - Please post any other relevant or specific info. I will animate the Webkinz you choose as much as I easily can. Depending on the Webkinz this might include blinking, smiling, head movement, tail movement, etc.

Webkinz Background Style Avvie Form -
Please copy and paste everything from this spoiler into your post and fill out completely! PLEASE delete my PURPLE text from your answers before posting your order. Just make sure you fill in SOMETHING in each number from 1-4. Everything in BLACK must be left in your post!
1. WEBKINZ - Post which webkinz you want. - by this I mean THE PICTURE OF IT!!! Not just the name!!! Use the transparent png images from the WI avvies section or the png images from the pets section on the upper menu bar of WI! Copy it to your computer and then upload it to tinypic or some other site... DO NOT hot link (copy & paste) to WI's images or I won't make your avvie!
2. BACKGROUND - Choose a background for your avvie, you may choose one from my Photobucket albums HERE or you may bring me anything from the web. You may copy and paste (hotlink) the background from my albums into your post but do not hotlink to other stuff on the web. If you find something from the web that you want as a background, save it to your computer and upload it to www.tinypic.com and post the tinypic link for me. If you hot link to a web image I will not use it for your avvie and thus having no background will not make you a background style avvie! I will only use backgrounds one time and then delete it from my albums. So be prepared to pick a different one in case someone else has previously requested the one you pick.
3. PERSONALIZATION - Post the specifics on text and frame. Post the personalization you want (ex- your name or WI user ID) and what type of text you want. Please feel free to copy and paste any of the images from my gallery albums of avvies for others into your post so I know exactly what you want regarding text! If you have no preference regarding text then type "no preference" and I will choose what I think looks best. Also post here any specifics regarding the frame. Again, feel free to copy and paste examples from my albums. Or for example say "sparkly pink frame" , "flashing rainbow frame" , "solid color frame" or "no preference" in which case I will choose what I think looks best!
4. OTHER INFO - Please post any other relevant or specific info. I will animate the Webkinz you choose as much as I easily can. Depending on the Webkinz this might include blinking, smiling, head movement, etc.
5. SECRET WORD -

If you find something from the web that you want as a background, save it to your computer and upload it to www.tinypic.com and post the tinypic link for me. If you hot link to a web image I will not use it for your avvie and thus having no background will not make you a background style avvie! Please know that unless you have WI2, the webkinz and maybe the text will most likely be the only things animated on the sig. I will try to keep the background animated too... but because of the size restraints I may not be able to do that. I will only use one background animation for the avvie AND the sig. I will choose a section of the background for the avvie, so if you have a preference for the avvie post that here along with the picture. I will only use backgrounds one time and then delete it from my albums. So be prepared to pick a different one in case someone else has previously requested the one you pick.
SECTION OF BACKGROUND PREFERRED FOR AVVIE - (EXAMPLE - "upper right" or "lower center" "the palm tree part" or "no preference")
3. Post the personalization you want (ex- your name or WI user ID) and what type of text you want. Please feel free to copy and paste any of the images from my gallery albums of avvies for others into your post so I know exactly what you want regarding text! If you have no preference regarding text then type "no preference" and I will choose what I think looks best. You may have different text on the avvie and siggie if you like.
TYPE OF TEXT - post a picture from my photobucket albums or type something like "rainbow text" or "no preference" and I will choose what looks best.
TEXT AVVIE - example - cocoabean
TEXT SIGGIE - example - cocoabean loves WI
4. OTHER INFO -Please post any other relevant or specific info. I will animate the Webkinz you choose as much as I easily can. Depending on the Webkinz this might include blinking, smiling, head movement, etc.

Webkinz Avvies

See MORE examples HERE and HERE
DO NOT USE ANY OF THE FINISHED AVVIES OR SIGGIES IN MY GALLERY ALBUMS other than to paste them into your request for examples of how you want text or frames, etc.
THESE WERE MADE FOR OTHER PEOPLE AND I DO NOT GIVE ANYONE BUT THE PERSON I MADE THEM FOR PERMISSION TO USE THEM!
I can also make a set for you. The avatar will be video, but the signature will most likely be a series of still shots of the video you request for the avatar.
*I can only use about 1-2 seconds of video (3-4 seconds for WI2 members)... don't order something that is 30 seconds!
Copy and paste all this into your post so you make sure you fill it out right!!!
1. I need to know specifics about what video you want. At minimum the EXACT video title and name of the person who uploaded it or the webstie it's on if it's a music video or something like that.
2. I need to know the Time of the Clip you want made into an avvie ~ hours, minutes and seconds into film and for how long.
3. I will need a detailed description of the Scene ~ Describe the scene so I know that I'm using the right clip. 4. Post any personalization you want (ex- your name or WI user ID) and what type of lettering you want. If you want text like on the Webkinz avvies please feel free to copy and paste them into your post so I know what you want!
5. Please post any specifics regarding the frame or other things.

∞ My Shop History ∞
My shop began as a resizing shop.
One day I was posting somewhere... maybe a chat thread... and Jennielou had an avvie she wanted to use but it didn't fit WI. I didn't know how at the time so I asked my husband to resize it for her. I then started to become more interested in things that I had always thought to big for WI before... what other previously unusable graphix could I actually use? Shortly after I began to think... how many other people out there have stuff they want to use but is too big?
∞ Thus my idea was born... "CoCoaBean's Shop ♥ Resizing Animated Graphix to fit WI!" ∞
Basically what I do is resize animated graphix (gifs) for WI members. If you have a blinkie doll or something like that which does not fit WI limits I make it so it does!
That is still the FIRST and MAIN purpose of my shop.
I want to help people to be able to use the graphix they want regardless of size.
When I have time I also offer custom graphix. But resizing ALWAYS comes first!!!
On WW my favorite job is Kinzpost Sorter, one of my favorite games is Operation Gumball... It may sound a little strange... but I think of resizing as a math problem that I need to solve in the most efficient way possible. For me resizing things for people on WI is sort of like another math game. Removing frames is easy enough for anyone to do and is mainly how I started. But now I tweak each graphic in numerous ways to get a graphic that is most like the original. I'm most pleased when there is no difference between your original graphic and my resized version. This is what I strive to do each time I get an order. Obviously it doesn't always happen... some people bring me some very large things... But I do my best each time. When I complete an order I always post my resizing with a quote of the original. Just take a look through my thread and you'll see examples of what I hope is exceptional resizing. Maybe start from the end and work your way back though... my earlier work is not as impressive as my later work *wink*.
∞ Custom Graphix ∞
I started offering custom graphix in my old shop back in 2007. However, my shop did not really take off (10 posts) and I didn't have the time to commit to it. I started offering them again last year. Early on it was just Webkinz on a cool background with your name. Then I made them more and more interesting. Animating the Webkinz until getting to what I feel is the perfect animated avatar. When I'm wearing one here on WI I truly feel that I'm looking at one of my little WW pets!
The animation of the Webkinz, in my eyes, brings them to LIFE!
Each cute little smile, blink or tail wag shows LIFE!
The Essence of Life through Animation
This may seem a little corny... especially considering we're talking about stuffed animals with virtual counterparts... but if you think about the difference between a stock WI Webkinz avatar and what I make you can see the LIFE. With each frame I make I'm bringing a Webkinz to life here on WI.
Think about it.
Below are links to some of the CUSTOM things I've made.
I do not have a school. So please don't ask me how to make graphics. There are many great schools here in the A/S section! Join one of those!
Enjoy the show!
(there are several pages in each album for you to see!)
*Under no circumstances may these graphix be used by ANYONE except the person that I made them for!!!
