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.

![]() ![]() ![]() That last one probably needs some photoshop-fu to clean up the resizing jaggies. I couldn't find a bigger source image. Title: Contest (Maybe): Frontpage Banners Post by: schild on November 15, 2004, 12:43:20 PM Vin is going in.
Title: Contest (Maybe): Frontpage Banners Post by: sidereal on November 15, 2004, 01:07:14 PM I feel hobbled without photoshop. MSPaint can't even blend.

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. Title: Contest (Maybe): Frontpage Banners Post by: sidereal on November 15, 2004, 03:37:32 PM Will do when I get home and have real software to deal with

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. (http://www.f13.net/images/randombanner/19.jpg) Title: Contest (Maybe): Frontpage Banners Post by: schild on November 15, 2004, 05:37:29 PM 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.
Edit: Looks like you can sign up for free. Salute zee Gmail accounts, for they hold spam. And lots of it. Title: Contest (Maybe): Frontpage Banners Post by: Shavnir on November 15, 2004, 07:10:35 PM Okay, I'll give it one last shot.

Title: Contest (Maybe): Frontpage Banners Post by: Azhrarn on November 15, 2004, 08:25:46 PM 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. Title: Contest (Maybe): Frontpage Banners Post by: sidereal on November 15, 2004, 08:32:50 PM Went back and cleaned up the earlier images. Ruprecht will not be denied!

Title: Contest (Maybe): Frontpage Banners Post by: Merusk on November 16, 2004, 04:04:40 AM 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. Title: Contest (Maybe): Frontpage Banners Post by: Ironwood on November 16, 2004, 06:28:46 AM The SHODAN is luv.

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?
