Title: Contest (Maybe): Frontpage Banners
Post by: schild on November 15, 2004, 12:09:59 PM
Hey everyone. I'm hoping to get a good 100-200 frontpage banners together in the next few weeks. As you can see it's themed on eyes. If anyone does an absolutely fricking amazing one - like the Silent Hill 4 one courtesy of Fabricated - you may win something. May. Assuming some mail comes in this week.

Anyway, the resolution is: 778x97. You can also just rightclick/save-as one of the frontpage banners and work from that. Just post them in this thread or email them to me at: schild@f13.net.

Also, make sure they're all videogame/media related. And when I say 'Eyes,' Tara's horrible nipple does not count as an eye.

This is going to kill the table width, I think










That last one probably needs some photoshop-fu to clean up the resizing jaggies.  I couldn't find a bigger source image.

Guybrush is going in.

Sidereal, I liked both of yours, but the backgrounds were ass. Perhaps replace them with...anything else (once again, not Tara Reid's tit)? Those images look easily cut out.

Edit: Last 3 I mentioned were added.

Planescape. Samwise, you are on a roll. Gonna see if there's a higher res source out there.

Best place for pictures: http://www.moredesktop.com/Games/index.cfm

Make sure you have your pop-up blocker on.

Edit: I'm just that good.

I'm not that good. The website I linked only lets me look at 3 wallpapers a day. I shot my wad with Planescape, Resident Evil and Silent Hill. Damn them. The only place with every wallpaper for every game and they want money. Meh.

I grabbed a lot of wallpapers from http://www.gamewallpapers.com/ ages ago when they ran a CGW promo.  They require a subscription for most of their wallpapers though, but not all.

A lot (all?) seem to be decent quality original/exclusive work though.

bleg, finding hi-res pics of the stuff I want is hard. my relative inability to effectively manipulate/enhance found images makes it even harder.

Wallpapers, of course!  I was going to ask where you all got such hi-res pictures, because I had the same idea as Sam for the Planescape bar.  I've got a few more I haven't seen yet, so I'll take a look tonight.

Though, if anyone can find a good hi-res picture of my avatar, feel free to do so.

Bruce, you've become a parody of yourself, though the l33t thing is kind of funny. Can you get a higher res image and get closer to the eyes?

Soukyan, I like some of yours (particularly the HL2 and VTM ones), going to try to get higher res images. Oh, and the Alizee thing died when Rasputin got banned when waterthread moved to f13.

Love the second Jade one. First one doesn't fit so well.  

As for the r33ts, I think that one's probably as good as you're going to capture it.  If you look, the damn eyeline is all over the place.  Still an interesting effect, however.

I like the Bloodlines one and one Alizee can't hurt, can it?

I'll have to check again for a higher res version, but unless I deliberately distort the image (change the proportions), I can't really zoom in better on the eyes.
