Free Textboxes (CC By NC-SA 3.0) NVL textbox 8/31/14

I'm generally practicing so... sorry if they aren't very good ;-;
This textboxes will ALL be licensed under the following license, unless stated otherwise:
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ (Read it before use.)

You will need to crop these!!!
These textboxes are full size, meaning all the empty space at the top is there... If you want you can either crop the textbox to remove all that empty space (make sure to leave in space at the bottom and sides, for when you code in the padding). Or, alternatively, you can just have a big top padding number.
~~

Anyway, this textbox should fit an 800x600 sized game, however you'll have to code it in yourself...
It's a very "dark" style of textbox. Gothic, dark, fantasy, cave-like... I don't know, I just hope you put it to good use!
Within the .zip file is the plain .png if you just wanna pop it into your game. However, if you wanna edit something, anything about it, the .psd file is also in there, complete with each element sorted into layers/groups. Modification is encouraged.

Here's another one, that I'd like to say come in a "set" (There are 3, they all match..!)
One is more feminine-like, it's pink with hearts.
The other was intended to be masculine-like but it's just blue with stars so...
The last is orange with circles. All three have seperate nameboxes and side image areas but you can change this yourself with the .psd files..
This should fit an 800x600 game but you'll have to code it yourself...

This one I guess was inspired by Greek culture... Although I have no idea if those columns had any symbolic meaning
But basically, it has vines wrapped all around it. The left and right sides look like columns, and there are vines wrapping all around the top bar of the textbox. There also grapes, flowers, and leaves. You can remove these with the .psd file (as well as the vines), although I made six different "presets" and included them in the .zip. (which you can see in the preview.) If you want a different combination then you'll have to play with the .psd file.
Might be good for a mythology-based VN, or maybe something taking place in Ancient Greek, or something?

This textbox is red, with a double border and some strange looking decorations on the side....Don't know what the inspiration was, but it made me think "regal" or "kingly" or "worldy" or something. Might be good for a VN set in a kingdom.

This is an NVL textbox, I think it's very simplistic yet dressy.
This one does not come with a super-large-res .psd file. The .psd AND .png file are both 800x600.

.zip file comes with 800x600 nvl-style textbox

I'll take suggestions~ Suggestions, not requests. I can't PROMISE I'll do it, (just depends if I can figure something out) but feel free to shoot some ideas my way.

Looks like it would do well for something with monsters that have class.
Nicely done, it inspires me to make something. OuOb

Ahh, I think they're pretty good. :3 I especially like the latter three, hahaha. Thank you for this!

Too bad they're 800x600 though. I wonder what they'll look like if they get stretched into a larger res? Can they be stretched?

You're welcome!
Yes, they can effectively be stretched. I would suggest copying and pasting all the layers in the .psd file to your new res size and then stretching it (that way you can still have the layers and such to remove namebox/sideimage for the narrator, or characters that don't need them etc etc).

If you have an issue stretching it or with quality after stretching (although that shouldn't be a problem) lemme know
