    It's coming... [face_devil]




    It's getting closer... [face_skull]






    It's here!

    [face_pumpkin]The FangForce Halloween Banner Contest[face_pumpkin]

    In order to celebrate the dark times ahead we are doing a banner contest for the banners that will get uploaded during Halloween.

    You are free to do any scary, halloweenish banner you want to, but notice the name change to FangForce

    The contest is open for everybody, except active RSAs and will last until the 25th of October. The contest will be judged by the active RSAs.

    So here are the specs:


    [ul][li]Main banner image (foreground) - 764 x 110[/li]
    [li]Main Background image - 764 x 110 [/li]
    [li]Curve image - 69 x 69 [/li]
    [li]Side Bar image - 32 x 465[/li]
    [li]Left and Right adholders - 74 x 58[/li][/ul]

    Please post your banner entries as one image or as separate elements (see below):

    I love the colors, but here?s a few comments/suggestion (keep in mind I have a small screen, and thus generally don?t see backgrounds).

    I really like the ?Fang Force? text/effect, and as said above I love the color combination.

    Took me a few minutes to figure out that it was Maul on a pumpkin. I knew it was Maul, but the orange globe didn't register for a bit. Maybe make the Maul face a bit smaller? Or show the whole pumpkin?

    Again, I can only see the main image, but it feels like some orange/yellow elements plopped down (technical term, natch) on a dark gray background. Any way to make the background and foreground a bit more connected?

    Anyone else with fangs in the SW universe.... oh, what about that puppy-jedi from Clone Wars?

    Again, just IMHO. :)

    I really like the fact that the edges of the banner are a bit wavy, it really lends to the creepyness of the banner. [face_devil]

    I, too, can only see the foreground image due to low resolution, but that part I like. :)

    Updated with a change to the pumpkin. I made it smaller and squashed it a little so most of it fits.
