I am Xenphire, and I specialize in many forms of graphic arts and design.
From banners to avatars [animated or not] and even special requests, here at my InkFox Aesthetics shop, I will be glad to consider any requests or commissions.
Note: Additional services such as Wallpapers, custom playmats or other inquiries may be requested. I often get asked how someone can "tip" or "compensate" me for my time because of the quality and work I put into my art. The generosity of gifting cards is always appreciated and a great help, but not required. If you wish to do so and want to discuss this sort of thing, I ask that you PM me rather than post here in my thread.
The Aesthtic Shop rules are as follows:
Please have a minimum post count of 100. Due to the amount of effort that goes into my designs, I wish to ensure that any user whom I satisfy a request for will is or will be an active user.
Only 10 requests will be allowed on the table at a time. Once all ten have been processed and posted, more requests will be accepted.
Post your request with the following template:
Request Type:(ie. avatar, animated avatar, signature) Size:(ie. signatures can be 600x100 or 450x150; if for a banner, specify, please.) Your Specific Request:(what is your vision for your request? Do you want Magic artwork? What version of the artwork? If your request is based on other media, be as specific as possible.) Source Material:(you are not required to provide source material, but if you have a specific image or clip you wish to use, then provide a link or attach the image to your post.)
Please do not post more than one request at a time. If you wish to request a package (avatar and signature both), then you may specify such when posting.
Do not use another user's requested product.
Please acknowledge and credit Inkfox Aesthetics by Xen or simply Xenphire for creating the graphics you're proudly displaying.
I reserve the right to deny service to any party if based on just grounds (ie., you did not credit me for my work, or you repeatedly break the shop's rules set forth herein).
Disclaimer: By submitting your request, you are agreeing to grant me artistic license so that I can provide you with the best product possible. While art is in the eye of the beholder, tweaks may be made (such as hues or contrast) that will better your request for display to the thousands of users that post here.

I was begginning to wonder if you were ever going to open one of these. it's a shame you didn't ever get into one when i was still active on here We could have had a joint shop
First non-op post ftw.

Request Type: Animated Avatar/Sig bundle (not expecting sig to be animated of course) I am going to be hosting an MMORPCCG (massively multiplayer online role playing card creation game) soon entitled Vorvadoss Station and would like an avy/sig to help advertise it. Your Specific Request:I would like an avatar with the sci-fi elf woman. Imagining blue glow. Would like a 650x150 signature of the station artwork with the words Vorvadoss Station featured on it.

I've been looking for someone who can tackle a custom playmat image for me.
First, this page has all the details on how the image needs to be formatted.
As for what I want the image to be, I'm actually looking for something a lot like my avatar. It just fits me really well. My friends know me as the guy who plays every color deck like it was mono-black anyway.
Ok, so the largest thing on the playmat should be the RWU symbols and their phyrexian shadows. Above that and on one line, I'd like the same phrase and similar font as my avatar. The black mana symbol should fit the size of the font, so it ends up a bit smaller than the others.
I don't know if you can do this or not, but I'd like the three mana symbols RWU to appear three dimensional. They should look like objects with Phryexian mana symbols as shadows.
I also want three framed rectangles along the left side of the mat for pile placement (library, graveyard, exile). All three should be 3" by 4" (to fit a sleeved card). The frame should look something like the second one shown on this page. I'm not entirely happy with that frame, but it's the closest thing to what I want I could find. Something simple, one or two lines, with a little bit artsy corners. Preferably a phyrexian feel to it.
If that wasn't complicated enough, inside each frame, I'd like one card art that fades into the black background. The top frame I want is Parallax Wave, beneath that is Pyrohemia, and on the bottom is Rhystic Study.
It's probably a tough order and I completely understand if you don't want to bother with it. If you could, though, I'd really appreciate it.

This shouldn't be a problem to do; I'll take a look at doing this later today.
The animation on the sig is perfect! I particularly like the circle's glowing movement. Definietly adds to the science fiction feel!
The banner on the sig is brilliantly done! I love how well it works with the slight touches on the avatar!
The font on the sig is very well chosen especially since you cleverly positioned the "beam" so well with the "o".
<<One happy customer!
Small side note: I won't be applying them until launching me game though! It's under review now and should be up tom or the next day, so won't switch immediately but can't wait!

Edit: What is ze font for the banner btw?
I'm elated that you're so happy with them The avatar has three points of glowing - the blue rune-looking area on her forehead pulses, as well as her ribbons.
I just got to a PC about a couple hours ago and sat down to take care of the request. The font I'm using is called "Free Agent", it's available free on 1001freefonts.com
Xenphire, I am really glad you decided to open up shop. I havent ever used a signature but figured its about time for me to request one.
Request Type: signature Your Specific Request: I was looking for an anime signature actually assuming that isnt a problem. What I was hoping for was a Cowboy Bebop signature with Spike in sort of a kicked back position playing magic if possible. Just cards in hand with the backs facing out. I was thinking of the source picture I used here but with a hand of cards instead (assuming that can be done nicely). Source Material:
I guess I dont know how tricky it might be to turn it into a signature but it was just a thought.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
Omg, Hi! I really, really like the work that you've put up so far. It's incredibly sharp, it looks really, really good.
If there's any way I could beg you for a banner and a signature, that would be super, but this is my first time, please be gentle
Request Type: Signature and Banner
Your Specific Request:
Signature: The artwork for the three dragons that I have as a sig currently I think just look really, really cool. (Eternal Dragon, Bogardan Hellkite, Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon) It has something to do with the somewhat ethereal feel that each has, while still being "sharp" or edgy, or whatever you want to call it, and I love the colors that are used. If I could ask for a signature that incorporates the feel of 1-3 of those images, that would be amazing. If I could have the quote "Duty is heavier than a mountain, death lighter than a feather" with the first part of the text starting on the upper left corner of the image going right, and the second half starting about the middle of the bottom edge of the image and finishing to the right edge, with it kind of melding with the images/colors that you feel like putting into the piece, that would be awesome. You're obviously the artist, not me, so whatever you feel is best! I definitely don't need all 3 images, just whatever you feel works.
Banner: Something that incorporates my general (Isamaru, Hound of Konda) the card image for Steelshaper's Gift, and seems to fit with the idea of the deck (mono white weenie voltron with a big emphasis on equipment. I'm sorry I can't give you more here, but I'm not the most artistic type, and the stuff you make looks better than anything I can think up in my head, so I'd prefer to leave it to you if that's alright)

Holy ****, that is gorgeous.
I love the borders you came up with. And those mana symbols! Phenomenal.
I'll be ordering this today; I'll get pictures for you when it comes in.
EDIT: I hope you don't mind that I am promoting your work everywhere on this site. Seriously gorgeous stuff here.
I really like your work, so I guess I will be a repeat visitor
Request Type: Banner
Size: I like the size of that Isumaru banner. I would say whatever size that is would be nice.
Your Specific Request: The deck is a life stealing style of deck. I gain life, steal life, do damage to everything, and push life through draw engines. I would like some text on it if possible. On the top left, "If life doesn't matter..." On the bottom right, "then I will take yours!"
What I was hoping for was a central focus on the ghost counsel. Then on the side we have pictures of Necropotence, Pestilence (I am not really sold on any one of its art so whichever you think will fit the piece the best), and Wall of Reverence. I sort of like the idea of a lack of symmetry in the number of assisting cards. Necro can definitely shine on its own side. For a background I was thinking of using sort of what Obzedat already has in the background which is essentially Godless Shrine.
Source Material: I found a nice high rez for Obzedat too.
