    Database-y type thing going on here. 'Digital' style fireworks in the background.

    For some reason I started to feel all 90's (odd considering the year :\), so I made my tag in that sort of style.

    Just like to say, good luck to everyone who intends on entering.
    And remember, you don't have to be the greatest with Photoshop to win. Factors like originality and the concept play a big part in deciding a winner, so don't feel intimidated by other artists. If you've got a good idea, enter it!

    Good luck everyone!

    Yes you can enter animated I guess, but we are not judging on animation or bonus points. Unless it is really good animation and the images are good as graphic art, then you can, but I honestly can't see it being too successful.
    If it is just like a GIF image, it would have to be pretty original and good quality to win.

    I have a question, are we allowed to submit animated graphics?

    As long as it fits the requirements for the piece you're making, and fits with the theme I can't see why it can't be animated.

    To everyone, remember to edit your old posts with links to your graphics that you have made. We don't want to be going through lots of posts from users with only one graphic in each. Also keep in mind that the end date has been changed from thr 31st of December to the 4th of January, to give more time for people to make their graphics.

    Just to clarify some things:

    -Most of 2011 will be year of the Rabbit, according to the Chinese Zodiac. Reisen and Tewi (the girls in the icon) are moon and earth rabbits respectively.

    -For those who have watched/read Higurashi Kai, you'll know that
    Spoiler:


    -The girl in the large piece is Fujiwara no Mokou. To quote the Touhou Wiki:
    Due to her power of resurrection and ability to control fire, Mokou is often depicted as having the same powers as the mythical phoenix (She even has spell cards called "Possessed By Phoenix" and "Immortal Flying Bird Phoenix"), even occasionally generating what appears to be a phoenix-shaped aura. Fans like to depict this as "wings of fire", but in canon, she only controls the flames of the phoenix in her spells. The phoenix is probably more of an aura depicting her immortality.

    They are pretty simple, but I'm not too good at messing with renders on PhotoShop quite yet. The same goes for text.
