Banner Contest – Winter

Getting a bit bored of seeing the same banners, and some of them are related to really old shows, so we’ll have a contest.

There will be two categories. First is due in a week which is a Christmas themed one. The second is due in two weeks, which is a general winter-esque theme. Naturally, the Christmas ones will be up for the Christmas season, and winters will go up after that until we hold another contest.

The rules are as follows:

1. Banners must be 800×250. Please do not round edges or do anything of that sort.
2. Banners can comprise of characters of any series chihiro has subbed since January 2009, or ef.
3. Banners are not allowed to have males in them. Females only.
4. Banners must not show nipples, vaginas, or uncovered butts. AKA, characters must have at least pantsu and a bra on.
5. Banners must be submitted by 10:00 AM on December 15th for Christmas themes, 10:00 AM on December 22nd for Winter themes. All times are Eastern Standard Time. Please use http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/usa/eastern-time/ to see what time it is in your area.
6. There is a limit of one banner per comment. If you wish to submit more, please make multiple comments with 1 banner contained in them. YOUR COMMENT WILL BE IGNORED AND DELETED BY WORDPRESS IF YOU POST MORE THAN ONE LINK IN IT.

PS: I’m Christian, and will not be politically correct. Banners of mennorahs and dradels will be rejected.

PPS: All Cloud668 banners submitted before a TL of Railgun will be rejected.

    This is the best I can do at a christmas/winter theme without destroying my original idea.

  11. Hanzo Says:

    so far i like all these banners…pitty im not in charge of the judging though :(

    also a pitty that i suck at making banners.

  12. vinzent Says:

    Do I get bonus points for drawing the banner myself? (of course on a nearly professional level) If not, then I won’t bother lol.

    So far every hand-drawn banner we’ve rejected because they weren’t really well drawn. If you can prove me wrong, do so.

    MY OPINION:

    and
    http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a79/AodhFFXI/Railgun02a.jpg
    are the best so far. I love those ! The others are ‘meh’. They’re good, but not as stunning as these two.

  14. Ninta Says:

    vinzent. that would be win!

  15. RommieSG Says:

    What happened to the Kyonko/Haruhi banners that we put together during the Haruhi Run?

    It’s a shame that I’m not good at doing banners…. btw all of those banners looks nice :p

    but I’d say that Kusion’s banner is the best tehee x) others aren’t bad, but that one banner just looks nicest to me.

  22. myztichydra Says:

    @ Aodh: Man, i really like misaki in this one:http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a79/AodhFFXI/Railgun02h2.jpg

    The only problem is that it there’s to much stuff in that banner, and furthermore the right part and the left part don’t really mix well and kinda “crash” in the middle. Try making the “とある科学の超電磁砲” part fit in with the misaki holding the cake, and maybe try removing the misaki in the right since she dosn’t fit in to much.

    Christmas Banner: K-ON akiyama mio

    Here’s what I came up with. If you have any recommendations to make it better (changes, additions, subtractions) please let me know.

    All the other submissions I’ve looked at are good except the one where the image looks stretched!

    http://i999.photobucket.com/albums/af113/Skullmon/Banners/ChihiroChristmasBanner1.jpg

  80. KnightOfZero Says:

    @Skullmon
    nice banner, try moving the “chihiro fansubs” so its infront of the girl’s leg instead of behind.
    upload it as a v2 ^^

    there are some excelent banners here ^&^

  81. myztichydra Says:

    @skullmon i agree with knightofzero with the chihiro name but mio in that pic seems pretty light maybe darken her a little

    @knightofzero i like :http://i1023.photobucket.com/albums/af352/bobbyspagnol/chiiroFna.jpg
    maybe try uploading one with mio and azusa on differnt sides and chihiro in the middle?

  82. Teod Says:


    http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/8461/chihirofansubsbanner02.jpg

  83. Skullmon Says:

    Thanks for the recommendations.

    I made the changes to the chihiro name and fixed mio a bit! I was thinking of adding the strings to the balls but it takes away from the top background which is pretty much covered up as is.

    Plz comment xD

  86. Skullmon Says:

    @Crobye both have a very festive feel to them, but I don’t know if the s on fansub would matter. I have always seen the banners here on the site with the s on fansub.

  87. Crobye Says:

    well, is easy to change it xD my bad

  88. myztichydra Says:

    @crobye wow http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/921/chihiro5.jpg looks really good
    the other one is alright maybe changing the chihiro name to not blend with the background color not sure what would be a color but a little tweek and it would be nice

    Love it, Aodh!! =)

    I wonder how one would look with the S O S symbol vertical with three lines like:

    Merry ChristmaS
    ChihirO
    FansubS

    or replace the first line with “Seasons Greetings” for after the holiday. Or maybe have “KristmaS” for a little Kristen homage. ;)

  107. Shadow Says:

    Ok, the spacing got taken out, but the last letters in each line would be the ones in the symbol.

    Merry ChristmaS
    ……………..ChihirO
    …………..FansubS

  108. Aodh Says:

    Just updated the 03h2 / 03i2 / 04j2 / 04k2 pictures. The k-on picture (03i2) now features a ricebowl in place of the o in Chihiro, and the Railgun (03h2) now includes a red-green font and Kuroko.

    Those 4 I consider to be done, any feed back on them would be nice and if you want to see any of the others updated, let me know the numbers.

  128. Nazo no Shoujo S Says:

    Eh, kanji doesn’t work on here, lol. I used png because it’s lossless; not sure if there’s a specific file format. It most likely doesn’t matter.

  130. Aaron Says:

    @Skullmon & Nazo

    PNG, unlike JPEG and BMP, will conserve the transparency of the image, which is why a lot of website builders use this format when putting images on their websites.
    So either ???? is the web designer type, graphics designer, or just doesn’t know any other format (lol)

    I go for the preceding two options.

    Is it just me or did the quality of most of the photobucket banner links drop?

    example the railgun03 file size has dropped from its original, and my ChihiroChristmasBanner1_V4.jpg has also dropped in quality….oh well that’s what free service gets you I guess…

    ????S is me. I didn’t realize kanji wasn’t supported here, so it ended up as ????.

    I fall in the ‘graphics designer’ category, I guess.
