♪♫ Some dance to remember, some dance to forget~ ♪♫

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: 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.

It looks that I should DRAW the illustration by myself right? Or if I can use the illustrations that I have copyrighted?

You don't have to draw everything (or anything) from scratch, but certain characters are big no nos:

afaik almost nobody drawn the content of the banner him/herself. Stuff mostly done here is just to pick a girl picture and edit the text texture.
You may check the banner history here just for some reference. But please don't use anything from this gallery.

Thank you all for your entries!

And updated. I'll just be posting the results in the thread from now on since Twitter paywalled their API. And also you get to see the total score.

(Generally everyone with 10 points or more qualifies for a prize. Or if I include the banner anyway despite not getting enough votes since I felt it was good enough.)
