Anyone working on banners?

How soon before we can get some forum banners? I'm ready to pimp the Dark City like no other. I'm on Dakka, 40k Online, 40k Nation, a gaming club forum (spanning Missouri, Kansas and Arizona), Bolter and Chainsword and Warseer.

I'd like to add that these boards could use a banner at the top of the page as well. If I can find the time I might just make some banners myself if anyone wants to use them.

My art-foo is weak. I plan on creating a Dark Eldar art dump on the forum tomorrow, but I'm too tired and a inebriated (I can't believe I spelled that correctly the first time). There is a really good Dark Eldar fan artist on Deviant Art, one BeckJann, maybe someone from the Admin side should talk to them and see if they'd be willing to do some awesome art for us.

The artist referenced is responsible for the Incubi portrait I'm using as my avatar.

Ugh. Tired... Must sleep now.

Already sent him a FB message and note on Deviant Art, though that was a few days ago, waiting on his reply.

Great minds think alike. *wicked grin*

I agree. An awesome chilling banner at the top of the page where that empty box is would be awesome.

Ahhh... so I know from where You've got avatars.

Anyway it would be sweet if he could do that.

Hey, that looks nice! Reminds Planescape:Torment aesthetics for some reason. There is even best CRPG character ever ☻.

I would darken background so it would blend into forum tho (I guess that's the idea).

This. There's also a lot of negative space that could use some trimming.

It looks pretty good (if a little busy for my personal tastes) otherwise.

Is pretty damn cool looking, props to whomever made it,

It's now trimmed and transparent, they were just minor problems. It's to give everyone a taste of what to expect, I think everyone should be very happy, it's a great start so far.

That is definitely better.

That thing is sexy. My only gripe is that the hellglaive blades look a little short.

Subject: Re: Anyone working on banners? Thu Jun 02 2011, 03:14

Thanks everyone for the compliments. I illustrated the header. Smile

There are still some tweaks being made to it, then moving on to the rest of the forum.
What a Face

LuckyNo.5, your skills are simply stunning! That is a beautiful banner, which I'm sure will entice many new members.

I concur! (Always behind with news in the UK, but it was a nice surprise when I logged on this morning!)
