If I win fourth prize, can I substitute you for a stripper?
Biobylon 5 - November 28, 2007 10:17 PM (GMT)
Frankin! That was my idea! Gasp! :P
Anyways, I guess I'll be first entry. I originally had this at 453 by 116, but then noticed the rules, and changed it up a bit; I think the resized version looks better tenfold.

Oh poop, that's just smashing for those of us without photo-editing programs and Photoshop and such.

Why would you ever do that? o_O Alg instead of a stripper? I'd do it the other way around
Melancholy Spork - November 28, 2007 11:14 PM (GMT)
I've got a growing fanbase here.
Kayru, if your design is nice and clean, you can still beat him. (not like you need to. You've already got access to the demo.)

Hmm... what's that font, btw?
Biobylon 5 - November 29, 2007 01:48 AM (GMT)
My font? The font that I used in the graphic? It's called Magic School Two, but I made round-ended lines drawing down from the top to make it look like that. And, by the way, I made it with a non-online program called paint.NET. Lyg, he meant that he would want a stripper in the cake instead of Alg.
SkittleShmexRawr - November 29, 2007 02:46 AM (GMT)
Since I love you, I will make one. =D

Oh I know what he -meant-, but the wording...
"Substitute YOU for the STRIPPER," thus making YOU the object and the STRIPPER the indirect object, object of the preposition for, thus making YOU being the object on which the substituting action is done, and it is done FOR the stripper.
... those were perhaps the strangest two words I've ever done a grammar lecture on.

Not gonna enter, but I just had idea for a banner.
~Y
EDIT: (2:00 AM FTW)
Like I said, not gonna enter because, well, this piece is way over regulation size... For use on more...
liberal forums...

335 MB FTW.
Also, the words... noting more of the mechanicalistic nature, not really having anything to do with the story (as far as I know).

SkittleShmexRawr - November 29, 2007 09:04 PM (GMT)
How many times are we allowed to enter? ._.
Biobylon 5 - November 29, 2007 09:33 PM (GMT)
That's good you're not gonna enter, UPS, because you have PhotoShop and I don't.... ;_;
Spork, which would you vote for, him or mine?
Melancholy Spork - November 29, 2007 09:35 PM (GMT)
Caty, you can change your entry any time before the deadline, but you can't entire more than one banner.
Biobylon, Upsy's sig is too big to be used as a banner; nevertheless he's got the theme of Schism down quite well. I'd probably vote for his, although it's hard to make that decision on the spot.
SkittleShmexRawr - November 29, 2007 09:53 PM (GMT)
Upsy, you totally just owned the competition.
Too bad it's too big.
Biobylon 5 - November 29, 2007 09:54 PM (GMT)
See? He has PSP and knowledge of Schism. I have no idea what Schism is!
SkittleShmexRawr - November 29, 2007 10:04 PM (GMT)
I know.
I made, like...nine.
They all look awful. xD
Melancholy Spork - November 29, 2007 10:25 PM (GMT)
SkittleShmexRawr - November 29, 2007 10:27 PM (GMT)

This is why I was unsure about entering. D:
Melancholy Spork - November 29, 2007 10:39 PM (GMT)
I see nobody wants to use the sunset splash screen or the official logo. XD
I like it. =)

I was thinking about doing one with that awesome image, but I suck at making any good graphics, so yeah.

I used the sunset image. It's behind the Angel leader, it's just hard to see...
These are the base images of the banners I made, they're not entries.
I just want to show you the sunset image, here:


See? You can kind of tell...
Melancholy Spork - November 29, 2007 11:19 PM (GMT)
Oh, yeah, I missed that.
Cool effect. =)
Frankin-kal-96 - November 30, 2007 12:15 AM (GMT)
I just now noticed you went back to the regular logo.

Alg's a biased judge here
He's going to pick Caty's entry even if it sucked. >_>

Oh, and I am terrible at Photoshop. I'll just end up making schism look bad.

Lawl, no.
He's honest with me.
Trust me.
AdioBam - November 30, 2007 02:45 AM (GMT)
So he tells you when you're ugly?
SkittleShmexRawr - November 30, 2007 03:17 AM (GMT)
He doesn't think I'm ugly, so...
AdioBam - November 30, 2007 03:31 AM (GMT)
On Homecoming in freshman year, I was almost late so I had to rush in the shower, and this was when my hair was shoulder-length. I didn't have time to blow dry it, so I just combed it down. It flipped up.
My girlfriend said "I hate your hair".
So be glad that Garrett isn't THAT honest.
