Here's one! I'll be working on another one as well.

I whipped this up real quick.

What if I made simple banners based on the stories posted here?

Here's the second one.

1/2 for Equilibrium

2/2 of Equilibrium

>>1588
>>1589
>>1590
I'm loving these.

>>1591
>>1592
Pretty good, for story specific ones.

Here's one for the whole board. I'll have to think on any story specific ones for mine (I may just take Eilthis' idea).

>>1593
Yep, all credit for the idea goes to Eilthis for this one.

Thoughts? I could make a version without the fiery lettering, if that's hard to read.

If anyone wants any specific story done, I'll try to put something together. Here's one for The Dark Type.

And one for Ragnarok.

>>1594
Ok, here's another. This one features the title of UC, and omits the 'fiery' lettering. Which do you prefer?

>>1595
Oh hey, didn't see that! Thanks Skyler, I would've used the same font style too...

Anyway, here's one for Silver Wings. Original image >>1064 is by "Extvia".

Rossco has stated that we're not limited to a number of banners, so the "one per story" option is okay by me. Make sure to clear it with the original author, if you make one for them.

>>1598

No problem, I know you have a soft spot for Weavile.

Here's one for Sin and Punishment. It's really hard to typify sin and its subsequent punishment, so I went the Dante route and used fire. What's left to do, Northern Star and The Road Less Traveled? Should we do Wabloo Swabloo?

Just use the legs of the leggy swabloo :P

Also needs more Amore Eterno.

>>1599
>soft spot for Weavile.
>>/smeargle/12900
Really? You don't say... Well, personally, I'd probably would have used a different Weavile from my plethora of images, but I also had a few other ideas floating around.

Northern Star, The Road Less Traveled, Amore Eterno, and i suppose Wabloo Swablu are the only ones left barring Sinners, as it doesn't even have a thread :\, unless Raine pops up with more of what she was trying to do. Wabloo Swablu's author isn't one or our regulars, so i'm unsure if we should make one, or I'd suggest Luca's Saga.

I can change the flavor text if need be.

>>1593
A much better version than my previous attempt.

>>1604
Indeed. I like it a lot more.

>>1599
Thanks for that Skyler, I like it, since it has fire...and we all like fire...heheheheh. Although, Iruni showed me an image that had sinnoh, and half of it was on fire. I liked that one, but I'm not sure if he sent it or not...let me browse my files for a sec.

...

there it is. Maybe this would fit better? I'm not sure as I'm not banner savoy. I think yours is fine and I really thank you for doing it Skyler, I'm just throwing more ideas out there.

Also, thanks to Iruni for the SW banner ^_^.

>>1596
Another for Ragnarok, by request from Espy. Thoughts?

Also, I'll take requests, if you throw a base image my way.

>>1594
>>1597
Just to clarify, Eilthis came up with the premise for the UC banner, I made them.

We can expect a letter from AMC soon.

>>1604

Visitor BRK, if I'm not mistaken.

>>1614
This man knows his fonts. It was recommended to me by a friend, and it works much better with that banner.

I redid my last banner with that font. It does look better.

>>1614
>>1615
Where do you guys get your fonts? My laptop came with a very limited selection.

>>1619
dafont.com has a wide variety of choices.

>>1620
Aha, Excellent! I have been looking for a new site, since the one I used to go to seems to think that you should have to pay like $70 for 1 font. :P

>>1624

Real men make their own fonts >:

>>1625
Man I would if I had the software and the patience. I have one all planned out and ready to go, but I am too lazy to make it myself.

So, it's been a few days since I opened up this thread, and reception to the idea has been surprisingly positive. Thanks to all who worked on the banners.

Here's a list of ones that are at least final in design (unless otherwise corrected):
>>1588
>>1589
>>1590
>>1591
>>1592 (Skyler, I'd pick one or the other. It's up to you.)
>>1595
>>1597
>>1598
>>1599
>>1603 (Status on this one? Are we going to use it?)
>>1604
>>1607
>>1612
>>1616

All that is left is Northern Star, The Road Less Traveled, and Amore Eterno, in the specific story department (If not, do correct me). I think we should put those on top priority, and then sort out which ones we'll be using from there.

Once again, thanks to everyone who worked on these. I wasn't expecting such a large community response, considering how quiet we usually are.

I'd prefer >>1591, and the Wabloo Swabloo one is good to go.

>>1626

My weapons of choice are Photoshop for pixel fonts, and Macromedia Fontographer (it's old, but it's still good!) for everything else.

I'm pretty sure Macromedia won't mind you stealing Fontographer, seeing as it's like fifteen years old and they don't exist as a company anymore.

>>1646
How do you go about making them in Photoshop? Our useless fucking tech teacher only taught us how to edit photos. Also I only have Photoshop Elements, so I don't know if it supports the production of fonts...

>>1650

Uh, those ones are for custom font renderers. My code just cuts them up at runtime and displays them like monospace fonts.

It's more like a sprite sheet than a font, I guess. If you're looking to make proper system fonts or the like, Fontographer is definitely the way to go.

Did these ever get added? They never seem to come up for me D:

I guess since we've come to a standstill in making any more, I guess it's time to impliment them. I'll compile a list and try and work out how they'll be put up.

I guess NS and TRLT will be added later, once we have banners for them.

>>1589
>>1590
>>1591
>>1595
>>1597
>>1598
>>1599
>>1603
>>1604
>>1607
>>1612
>>1616

A trimmed down listing from last time. By my count, that's 12 banners. 14, if we're to add NS and TRLT later on. I personally don't think we should have so many for 1 board, but if the bossman says it's ok, then I'm fine with it.

Peruse these, and let me know if anyone has any problems with them. I'll get these into the banner thread on /151chan/, and talk to Rossco about implementing them asap.

It's out of my hands now. All that's left to do is wait.
