To celebrate the new art focus of this folder, let's see some banner skillz!

RULES:

I want to see artwork done by you people. No images that you didn't make or take yourself. Open to drawings, paintings, photography, sculpture (displayed in a photo, natch), etc. Pen and paper, MS Paint/mouse, any medium will do. Can be [as] oriented or not. Obviously, nothing NSFW. Depending on the number of entries I'll say the initial deadline could be few weeks, I suppose, and then we can have a vote on which banner to use first.

Also, feel free to collaborate with each other.

Banners can be reasonably large, check around the show folders for reference. I'll let you know if anything cannot be used.

Edit: Since current submission activity is low,  for now we'll circulate banners instead, since there aren't enough for a vote.

Sounds like fun, I'll have to give this a try.

Of course, I fail miserably at anything artistic, so hopefully other people will enter.

[DangerHikky]

I have a really good idea for this! I can draw some main characters from some of the fics here and put them all in a collage sorta banner.  I should start planning this thing...

[DeaconPhenix]

Lol, Hikky I was thinking of PMing you about that exact idea while I was reading this thread.

[viperxmns]

Sounds good. I'm wondering what the traffic will be for this, as stated the rules may change depending if we get a lot of entries or not.

[Jingai]

I like the collage idea. It sounds like something that would
really fit the folder well.

[forgingaheart]

The collage idea does sound like a really good idea for a first banner.

[cidthekittyisfun]

awww no photoshoping images off teh net =( >_< wellll i cant draw lolz but maybe ill give it a try! and i hope a few ppl enter itll be fun to see wut ppl come up with lol

[viperxmns]

No photoshopping of other people's images (unless you collab with another board member), but remember, you can submit photos, drawing skills not required

[cidthekittyisfun]

hmmm i mainly got pics of my stuffed animals lol. but maybe i can take out ye old digital camera and put my photography major to use!

[Jingai]

Cidz you can take pics of the awesome wilderness and stuff.
You can be our own Ansel Adams or something.

[Kodai_Okuda]

Interesting viperxmns.

I'll give this a try.

Here are two banner submissions.

Artwork is 100% by me.

Destination Danger

And

Ghodhaikeen

Hope you like them.

[viperxmns]

Ooh, very nice! Methinks they should be reduced though, they're a little big. If you could link copies with the scale reduced with a height of around 400 pixels that'd prob be best. Thanks!

No problem.

Destination Danger

And

Ghodhaikeen

Hope those are okay.

[viperxmns]

Perfect

[McDavey]

Characters from fics eh? If you could draw even one of mine I would love that. totz. I wish I could draw so I could do all of mine, but I lack the talent.

[HardcoreHunter]

That or Teru Mikami deleting.

[viperxmns]

It ain't the Death Note folder, what's the fun in that.

j/k but anyway since there isn't much going on in here I may just throw one of the ones submitted [i.e. by Kodai_Okuda] up there.

Because it's about writing being serious business. ......That's the joke >_>

[viperxmns]

If one of you guys drew a pic of Light or Mikami I'd be more than happy to throw it up there when the time comes. I want it to be a fanart, not an 'official' pic.

[Kodai_Okuda]

Here is another pic.

This one is the Kaminejima class space frigate from my Code Geass fanfiction Dirge of Daedalus (posted on these boards).

I made a banner. 

The paintings are all my own original work that I put together into a collage using photobucket.
