Upcoming Forum Banners - Omni - 09-18-2013 This won't be complete overnight, but I wanted to share what I've got so far for this and give people a chance to contribute/give opinions. Right now the site's banner represents the Nexus. Soon I want to have banners for every individual IC sub-forum, with scenes that evoke the feel of each verse. For example: Pale Moors Vasty Deep The Underverse (click for big versions) I wanted to give folks the chance to contribute any pictures they've found for the banners as well. Pretty much everything on <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.wallpaperup.com">http://www.wallpaperup.com</a><!-- m --> is amazing and I'll probably be looking through the 'jungle' tags soon (I already have dozens from 'forest' saved for the Tangled Green, but none of them quite match what I had in mind). I have stuff for Camelot and Coruscant already, in addition to the ones above. Also some others for other Verses which I'll use if I can't find better. But here's what I'm going for: Quote:The Tangled Green: Dense forest/jungle. The taller the trees, the better. The idea is that most of the time, the sky is largely obscured by the branches overhead. Unfortunately I couldn't find any hi-res landscape scenes from Outland. Also, if anyone shit-hot with graphics skills feels like creating an exciting index banner for use with the index and OOC forums, go ahead. I am picky mind, I don't want something with anime/comic characters pasted on, I'd much rather have something with awesome, abstract scenery (though that said, ironically enough, something like the background scenery from the weird abstract landscapes of Black Rock Shooter or Madoka Magica fit perfectly =P) and maybe silhouetted or obscured figures. Ya get me? Otherwise I'll probably just set it to rotate randomly with the IC forum banners. Re: Upcoming Forum Banners - Proto Man - 02-17-2014 Necromancerrrrrr I thought this idea was neat, so I hope you won't mind me dredging this thread up. I'm not so good at using graphics programs, but I am really good at finding things to do simple tasks for me, like picfont.com Anyway, I don't even know if this is helpful, but yea! I figure you could chop off the top third of that image and resize it and add a border to make a forum banner. It's an attachment, because the site had me download the image. When I get home from the suburbs, I'm going to look for some pictures of the scenes you listed above. As for Outland, you probably mean the Hellfire Peninsula, right? Since for whatever reason no two zones in that place are even remotely similar. ?
Re: Upcoming Forum Banners - Omni - 02-17-2014 The problem is finding pictures wide and hi-resolution enough, like our current banner. Let's see ... I'm still in need of banners for the Dataverse, Oververse, Void, Endless Dunes, Frozen Fields and Spirit Realm. Mostly tough ones. It's surprisingly difficult to get a good one for the Endless Dunes that doesn't have clear, un-run-down civilization in sight. Re: Upcoming Forum Banners - Proto Man - 02-18-2014 I had to fight the urge to just use a high-res render from Borderlands 2. But yea, I'll try the others again tomorrow night.
