Previous months banners will be up shortly. This Coronavirus ride is cranking up again for another go, we're not having fun anymore~

Contest Prizes:
At least three winners will be selected out of all the banners by a panel of staff. However, if your banner sucks ass, even if we need 3, oh well.

Either 3, 5 or 7 banners will be chosen, and will be rotated with frequency determined by placing. Prizes are:

1st: 100 Hath
2nd: 100 Hath
3rd: 100 Hath
4th: 50 Hath
5th: 50 Hath
6th: 50 Hath
7th: 50 Hath

Rules:
1. Use the banner template found here: link (see below)*
2. There must be at least one female character present. Likewise, no male characters (or any penises) are allowed.
3. Absolutely no nudity.
3a. Partially exposed lolicon characters due to convenient censoring or cropping are not allowed either.
4. *NOTHING* (characters, shadows, backgrounds, accessories, et al) may end or be cropped on/at the left or right side.
4a. Accepting banners that exceed the the text horizontal recommendation will be at the discretion of the judges at voting time. You have been warned.
4b. Banners that move the text vertically will be disqualified.
5. Characters must either be from the same series (preferably in the same art style) or must be connected by theme (i.e. catgirls, christmas, bunnies, Airddragon, etc)
5a. Use of characters from IPs owned by aggressively protective western companies (such as Blizzard as an example) is prohibited. If you are unsure, please ask.
6. Don't put things greatly obscuring the logo.
7. Banner must be link as a PNG image file, preferably as a forum attachment.
7a. Banners may not be animated, even in PNG format.
8. Each person may only submit one banner, or we will use the first one that appears in the thread
9. You must understand that I love you all. Except Spectre. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)
10. Though commendable, please do not include artist credit or signatures within the banner art.

If you're not sure if it'll slide, ask in the thread before posting your entry, or look at past entries in this subforum.

Due: July 25th (ish).

* The new banner template is in a PSD with the text isolated. In the workpaths I've included vertical limits (the text shouldn't be moving vertically regardless) and horizontal limit recommendations so you know how far you should be moving the text. This spacing works best with even numbers of characters; split between each side, or three characters; two on one side and one on the other. I have also included PNG's of the banner with the text justified left, right, and center for those that can't open PSD's.
-TY Spec.
GoGoGo!

ALSO:

For anyone interested, mini-script that lets you test your banner without having to upload it somewhere first
Just open the main page, click on the logo, select the file and that's pretty much it

----edit----

By the way, new version of the banner test script since the old one was too clumsy and awkward:

hzqr's script Link: [gist.github.com] https://gist.github.com/anonymous/009b0c272...5061ae4b8a635bd

This one generates previews in place, no need to save the banner.
Just click on the stool-colored star in the top right corner of each post and then on the image you want to turn into a banner. Clicking on the star again should reverse any changes.

Natsuyasumi~

In honor of our fallen friend, an uninterrupted 44 year run and 97 comikets later, and something finally came and broke the streak, the first August since 1981 without the event.

Get well soon.

I've been on such a tear with Helltaker, I was even listening to Vitality while doing this banner lol...
