Still wouldn't know what to do. I'm an amateur, after all.

[doxiedachsie]

So was I, like 3 months ago. Still am.

[LoverDemon]

Well almost time to begin this contest, make sure to get those submissions up when this one begins, good luck everyone.

[Zeshumoru]

When exactly does this start again?

[LoverDemon]

Tomorrow, and it goes on till the 24. The Judging starts.

Remember a Christmas Theme Banner.

[Zeshumoru]

I see, well, I'll try my best. I am just an amateur at stuff like this. Hopefully, doxiedachsie can give me a few pointers and such.

24th of which month?  November or December?

[LoverDemon]

If it's for Christmas and a whole month it would be November.


Check the OP: [The Theme will be to make a Christmas banner for December]

[doxiedachsie]

Just making sure. 

[LoverDemon]

Yup, so everyone has until the 24th to make a banner for Christmas.

Goodluck everyone, show off that banner making talent of yours.

[LoverDemon]

Really don't know if I'll be able to run this, I think I might have plans by the end of this, so if anyone would like to take over then PM me.

[doxiedachsie]

Any takers?  Only 7 more days to go. . . . .

[SonjaJade]

I'm not sure how to make it...  I can make a background the size specified, I can do a foreground as specified, but do you want 2 seperate files or put them together into 1?  I have an idea for one....  maybe once it's made I'll have more specific questions (prolly will concern how big they are combined, if I'm over the kb limit)

gimme about 30 minutes

[SonjaJade]

OK, 162 kb combined!! woot!

Links to  foreground  and  background

I left the artist's name so she could get credit.

[LoverDemon]

I probably would have entered this myself, since I'm not the only one doing the general judging and it's a board member wise judging. But sadly, am not feeling good so I'll just stick to judging when the time comes.

[LoverDemon]

Mm, Druihd huh? Probably would be a good idea to have asked her for permission beforehand, I know she would prefer that, but Druihd hasn't been seen in years.

Not sure I can allow the picture...mostly in respect for the artist, if you can somehow obtain her permission then it'd be cool. But in this case, you'll have to find another picture, this is both out of respect for there work as well as preventing any issue if the artist should or does notice it being used without there consent.

The banner itself is ok though, just fine a good pick to go with it. Or make one.

[SonjaJade]

I will fix this as soon as my son decides to stop screaming and take a nap! grrr

NEW foreground (capped from episode 161, tweaked Sango a bit)

Preview of the whole thing (I can lose the words, just thought it was appropriate )

[doxiedachsie]

Very nice.  I wouldn't worry about the words.  It is your sense of what you think fits better that counts.  About the only thing I think would happen is that the announcement text would get pushed a little further left.  Also, I forgot to mention that the foreground image slides over the background depending on how your computer monitor is set (that's why the background is so unusually wide).  The most that would happen is some people would see a little less snow on the right.

[sohadow_swordsman]

Yeah, I haven't been doing my banner homework, so I don't really know if I'm gonna have a banner ready for this.

[doxiedachsie]

Mine's been ready for months.  I just don't want to put it up yet, or even know how to show a sample of it's final appearance.  Because of the way it's constructed, all the composite samples look grainy.  The original two images look fine when they are superimposed as separates, though.

[gravekeeper]

Post yours, Dox!! I wanna see it.

[doxiedachsie]

Part of it needs work.  And photobucket just unveiled some "improvements" that make it impossible to copy the html code location of an image with a right-click.  And messed up my logon, too.

[gravekeeper]

Grr. I'll just have to wait.

[doxiedachsie]

It'll take a day or two to straighten out.  I'll post the first recap later tonight, tomorrow(?), err, Thursday night.  It's almost finished.
