AnimeSuki Fall 2011 Banner Contest - Collaboration/Discussion Thread
Update: Contest winners now announced! Thanks to everyone for participating!
We're looking to spruce up the look of the Forums this Fall with new banners, and we're looking for your help and creativity to make that happen! If you have participated in Banner Contests before, please note that we are going to by trying a new contest methodology this time in the interest of expediting the process. We'll be having another more traditional contest shortly after this one if you preferred the previous style (though we'll be taking input about the contest format for consideration). With that said... AnimeSuki Fall 2011 Banner Contest
Contest Rules & Policies
To test your banner... We have a tool that will allow you to test the look of your banner to make sure that it will look nice on our Forum. To use, perform these steps:
Submission Procedure: There are two threads for this contest: the Collaboration/Discussion Thread and the Entry/Submission Thread. The Entry/Submission thread is for your final submission only (though you may edit your posts until the contest deadline). For all other discussion and to collaborate with other artists, please go to the Collaboration/Discussion Thread. We recommend the following:
We strongly recommend that you follow the discussion thread and check-in on your entry from time-to-time throughout the contest to make sure there are no issues or concerns that need to be addressed with your entry. If you just enter an image and then "forget about it", it's possible it may have been disqualified and you'll never know, so please participate in the Collaboration/Discussion thread and at least check-in once before the deadline. About Sourcing Artwork: We would ask that all contest entrants include the source of any artwork they incorporated into their design, including if possible the anime franchise and whether it is official art or fan-made (including the name of the artist, if available). If using fanart, we encourage you to ask the original artist for permission if at all possible, but we recognize that this may be difficult in some circumstances. NOTE: You don't have to link to the URL where the image can be found, so long as you name the series and that it's either official art or fan art (and who the fan artist is, if at all possible). To all fan-artists and copyright holders: If you see a banner that contains your art and you do not provide permission for it to be used on our Forum or in this contest, please contact the Forum Staff with the related evidence, and we will comply with your request for removal. Thanks for your participation in this contest, have fun, and good luck!! This is the Collaboration/Discussion Thread. Use this thread to ask questions, post drafts and collaborate with fellow artists. Once your submission is ready, please post it in the Entry/Submission Thread.

My first try, hoping than it fit all the requirement:
material: background: http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/...ence-leaf-long ( original work from simosi ) girl/render: http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=...view&id=676759 ( Shionji Yuuko from the serie Kami-sama no memo-chou ) C&C would be appreciated.

Two questions:
Does Touhou count? I know that there are manga, light novels, and fan-made animations on the net, but I don't recall an anime made off of the series. Second, are these banners simply replacing the default banners we see right now temporarily, just through the fall season? Annually, or just a one-year thing? And Ganbaru, that's looking amazing right now. My only complaint would unfortunately be the linear cut-off in the right side, looking a bit awkward in contrast to the nice transition on the left. Seeing the original source image though, I know this is sort of a move that you had to make if you wanted that background. I am unsure of how to fix this predicament at present...

As it is stated in the opening post, we will try to have another competition shortly after this one, so yes, the banners will be used through the fall season (at the very least) and not for (hopefully) more than a year.

I know, I noticed that in the original background image, behind the foreground character, there was that tree that was sorta cutting that off. And while I still do think that it looks a tad awkwardly uneven on both sides of the scenery, the second version's fade to the banner background does look a lot better.

I'm seeing that people are submitting their drafts here, so I guess I'll do that too?

Remember folks, do not change the colors or apply effects to the whole gradient while working on your banners. Quote:
