All kids out of the pool, adult swim.

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: 500 Hath
2nd: 500 Hath
3rd: 500 Hath
4th: 300 Hath
5th: 300 Hath
6th: 300 Hath
7th: 300 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 companies (such as Blizzard or miHoYo [Genshin Impact] 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: June 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.

(if you use HTTPS in the forums, you might have to allow mixed content - the site's homepage is not accessible through HTTPS)

Edit: Changed stuff.

I decided to keep it simple since and using 2 character for the first time.
Please tell do tell me if I am somehow posting duplicate since I have strange sense of dejavu when I am making this. If that is the case then I shall remake it.

You're safe, at least in the last two years safe.

Hi! It's my first time posting. Please let me know if I made a mistake on the banner.

There's nothing inherently wrong to disqualify, but backgrounds ending abruptly (though I see some attempt to encapsulate them with a border) looks a little off. Might I suggest a fade and feather?

Nice!, but I would also suggest fading the edges of your image's background more to blend better with the background of the template.

Thanks for the tips, Spectre! The edges were an attempt to create the edges of the pool... I failed! LOL

I applied the fade, and took the opportunity to adjust the colors.
If any other adjustments are needed, please let me know.

I think it looks better, lets hope the other judges agree ha ha.

Don't know if the palm tree T will get a pass or not, if not I made a second banner that's ready to go.
