Ughh..

1. The banner is not allowed to be bigger than 840(Hight)x400(Width) Any bigger and it would come off the page.

Why do we have such a low horizontal limit? D: 400px is too less. I don't think that even 500px would go out of the screen.

 

[Spinor]

I agree. The ratio does not feel right. It's my thread and I say we bump it up to 600. 840 is also too much, so the limit I will propose to be 800 x 600 or else I will declare this contest not endorsed by SD with...whatever infinitesimal power I have...

Not only that, this SHOULD be in the Graphics forum. I was also still talking with the mods over there about the contest being there. I'll see if this meets criteria to get it moved over there.

Well it's not really much of your part to say, it's the communitys forums, hence the communitys thread, you didn't even make the first thread - you hadn't even joined. xD

Anyway - Kirbychu has agreed that it can be here, it's shipping related etc... Just think of it as like the other contest we've had the the triva gmaes (run, suicune run) this is a contest based on the section to gain a little more activity.

I mixed the hights up xD (i've changed them a bit too)

 

[Regeneration]

So I guess I shall inaugurate the contest with my entry. =D

Spoiler:

I might edit it out though before the contest ends.

 

[derozio]

Not really based on Pokemon characters. It has Orihime and Ulquiorra from Bleach. Anyway, here it is:

Spoiler:

Didn't really get enough time. Might've edited it out, if only I were less busy. :/

 

[Kirbychu]

Finally found some time to do this. I'm not proud of it, but an entry is an entry! :D

Spoiler:

[CommanderPigg]

Here's my hideous abomination of an entry >_>

Spoiler:

Color sense, I have none OTL

 

[Spinor]

...

All I can say, CommanderPigg, is that yours is definitely not gonna win :(

...Can't make up my mind between Derozio and Regeneration D:

Kirbychu... if only it weren't a Feebas XD

I propose that the deadline be extended. See if more entries get in (and if maybe I can get something Negaishippy in.)

 

[Kirbychu]

You people and your marvelous banners.>:( I am absolutely in love with that text, CommanderPigg.

...Kirbychu... if only it weren't a Feebas XD

I didn't have much confidence in my banner making skills, so why not do something random? I was originally going to do a funny one with Leaf and Giovanni, but decided against it.

Here are the emblems if you haven't seen them yet.

You get this for entering..

And this for winning...

 

[Mew~]

I'll extend the deadline to another 9 hours, by then i'll try my best to get as much people as possible to join.

The polls will be up soon after, so hurry.

I have to admit, they all look great. You all have an equal chance.

 

[Regeneration]

Hohoho~ There is finally some competition. I'll see if I can improve my banner before the deadline. D:

...Can't make up my mind between Derozio and Regeneration D:

Me!

All I can say, CommanderPigg, is that yours is definitely not gonna win :(

What? o.o He's made an amazing banner!!?!

 

[derozio]

Oh my, I never expected something like that, Commanderpig. That banner is amazing. Seems like my chances just vanished. ;;

Extending the deadline seems like a cool idea. Hopefully more entrants pop up...

On a side note, it feels weird to be the only member who made something 'NOT' based on pokemon. XD;

Edit: Yeah merv, go for it. Hopefully, you come up with something even better. Sadly, I won't be making any changes....I feel lazy today. D;

 

[Spinor]

What? o.o He's made an amazing banner!!?!

>__> I know

I'm just so biased.

 

[Ho-Oh]

Spoiler:

I think it's terrible personally. :(

 

[Mew~]

35 minutes left, I'll be making a new thread with the poll at the deadline, unless I feel like I could just edit the first post and add a poll.

But - I don't know how any of you feel, but i'll be making a dedication video (using sony vegas) as a prize for the winner (Of course, it's just optional) keep in mind, because of my situation - it can only be a pokémon video with clips from the anime (with some fanart) but any song they like.

 

[AshPikastar]

Aww I won't be able to post my banner. I'm in school and have it on Photoshop at home with my brushes. Oh well I wouldn't stand a chance anywise. The entries looks very nice.

 

[Mew~]

Damn I feel bad now.

Anyway, it's:
Voting time

I'll edit the first post, and when Kirbychu is online he can edit the title to get people to vote!

 

[CommanderPigg]

Oh darn, I'm going to have a hard time choosing...the entries are really well done ;_;

And thank you everyone for your nice comments! and AK47 for the bias ;)

There's something really beautiful about both the N x Touko banners, Regeneration and Forever. I don't like the shipping themselves, but both of your entries are graceful and well edited. Props to Regeneration for the typography.

Derozio-I envy your color coordination sooo much. It looks great! For something that you claimed didn't take long, it sure looks more organized and aesthetically pleasing than anything I've ever made XD

Kirbychu wins for best shipping, you can't get more canon than that, lol. Visually, I love the overall color scheme and the shinies :P

Good luck to everyone! Those emblems look delicious~

 

[Spinor]

... just kidding

Bias aside, I do believe CommanderPigg earns the spot. And by the looks of the poll, it's apparently going that direction. The banner represents the little conflict and simplicity the Shipping Debates should be. In terms of meaning and art, I like it. If I weren't a Negaishipper, trust me on that I'd definitely love it.
