Oh yeah, like you could have possibly gotten another banner into the finals.

I could have swap it for one of the old ones during the entry phase.

I did end up making 6 banners for this contest in the end.

Daniel E., you have a commanding lead and I really do like yours the best. My vote went to #12.

I like your avatar too.

I'm surprised that you didn't make a banner out of that naked witch wallpaper you posted...

But, I did end up voting for Yuki and Mikuru... good job! (and the favorite so far!)

ImClueless · 2006-10-05, 23:00

Looks like its a fight for 2nd and 3rd place now. Would've voted for the leader also but it didn't look like it need my help.

That's from a trace I made about a month or so ago. It's posted in the Haruhi image thread.

Thanks for the comment also.

There's so much time left. I think it's a little earlier to call a winner at this point.

And following on that, I think the voting was kinda slow today.

rooboy · 2006-10-06, 09:16

I would have voted for yours Daniel (I did nominated it, after all), but you had such a big lead I decided to throw a vote to Aya's Ouran banner - which I really thought captured the anime feeling of Halloween, goofy and funny.

Though I do want to see the banner for the next round of Saimoe.

Spectacular_Insanity · 2006-10-06, 09:27

This was REALLY hard to choose, but I think Slugzilla's on the bottom was great, with the FMA Halloween theme.

Well there seems to be a limit of a couple of hundred people who vote in these polls on this site. Like you said voting is already slowing down. There is nothing to show that the remaining people aren't going to maintain the same pattern as the people who have already voted. (Why they always predict election results when like only 40% of the vote is counted) Unless, you pissed off a bunch of people on the forums and they will hate vote against you.

Exactly what I did., though I didn't participate in the nominations

Voted for JOJOS'STAR's entry. Great contest all around. A lot of great work.

Well, what you say here makes a lot of sense. Let's just see how things turn up in the end.

Odokemono · 2006-10-06, 23:26

I've been an animesuki user for years, and the entries prompted me to just now register just so I could say great job everyone! Fantastic work, all around.

Deciding on just one was heart-wrenching. (^,^)

It's great that you finally decided to register here.

Welcome to the forums!!

However....

Sorry, thats how the rules were set.

Still, looking on the bright side, you will have no problems whatsoever in the next contest.

Then again, you might be aware of this already. I dont have a clue if the votes are blocked on the spot or if NSW deletes them on a regular basis.

Deleted after the fact. Unfortunately the forum software doesn't allow us to block them automatically. In case anyone is curious this is just a safety measure to help limit cheating. And unfortunately it has been necessary.

I'm flattered you think she's from an anime but she's Kairin - AnimeSuki's mascot.

There's a thread here with more art if you want to check it out:

It seems that I am not eligible to vote, but I will voice my opinion regardless.

Green² - 20 includes, if I am correctly recalling the piece of fanart used in its creation, a picture of Aruru (Utawarerumono) wielding Rena's (Higurashi no Naku Koro ni) billhook, and apparently possessed by Rena's spirit. I cannot think of anything more terrifyingly appropriate to a halloween theme than a case of possession by Ryugu Rena.

acidflower · 2006-10-07, 12:04

^Aya^ - 02's neko, looks strangely familiar to:

http://www.animepaper.net/gallery/wa...aioh/item4759/

They're both vectored, both gray

Only problem is, Sunira made her's first. The one in the banner was probably just flipped. I was wondering if Aya asked for permission.

mantidor · 2006-10-07, 13:08

I don't see the similarity, I mean, its neko, the drawing couldn't be more simple, all drawings of him are going to look the same.

Kiva128 · 2006-10-07, 14:04

Although I do think it's the same cat (the shading is in the exact same places) I don't think it matters that she didn't ask for permission too much. I mean, how many people in the top 13 asked permission? About zero.

As GHDpro said:

One of them was bandwidth: due to this we probably won't have alternating banners on
the site. The other may be copyright. While we might get away with using real anime art
on the forum banners under the pretext of "fair use", on the site we may not.

So pretty much as long as it's not on the main site it's "fair use"...apparently.
