Now we have several banners for our wiki-members to put in their houses, but we don't have one that to beautify the top of the page. That is what this contest is for! Contestants will submit the banner they feel best captures the wiki's purpose, then once the deadline is over we will put the vote to our fellow supporters. Whoever wins will have their banner replace the current plain-text title at the top of the Support Our Council page.




Deadline: Closed


Reward:This ugly yet beautiful badge

We had some great entries and I want to thank everyone who participated. If I can get your permission I would like to use some as "advertisement banners".

2011-06-01 [Alexi Ice]: The slave trade - Banner contest - Shameless plug.

You should add this to Mc

2011-06-06 [Akayume]: [Mystin], did you know you could upload images directly to elftown? If it's uploaded to photobucket and is moved the link will become dead. :/

2011-06-06 [Lord Josmar]: My phone is only displayong half of that banner, lolz. I see everything except what is after the "I Support" text.

2011-06-06 [Akayume]: Oh no!! DX Sorry.

2011-06-06 [Akayume]: Can I submit something else I made? It's for houses though. :S

2011-06-06 [Lord Josmar]: Meh, it's not your fault. My phone doesnt like graphics a guess.

2011-06-06 [Alexi Ice]: I like the star!

2011-06-06 [Akayume]: :D Thank you! I did not draw it by hand *disclaimer* XP

2011-06-06 [Lord Josmar]: If I could get you to put your name under the star it would be appreciated. I didnt know whos it was till I saw the comments.

2011-06-06 [Akayume]: Under it? My name is by #2 and then my two images are below that. Would you like my name a second time?

2011-06-06 [Lord Josmar]: Well, the more I look at it the more I see how it works this way lol. Dont worry about it.

2011-06-06 [Akayume]: Otay. (:

2011-06-06 [Alexi Ice]: Now it looks better

2011-06-06 [Lord Josmar]: Lolz. I wondered where the 3. came from suddenly.

2011-06-10 [Mystin]: Well we do know one thing for sure! We know that there will be plenty of banners to go around LOL. Great work [Akayume]!

2011-06-10 [Akayume]: Thanks [Mystin]. (: You too!

I wish someone else would enter. :O

2011-06-10 [Mystin]: I'll ask around! & Thanks! :-)

2011-06-10 [Lord Josmar]: I put the contect on the mc and hopefully that will draw a few more entrants. Im glad now that I didnt put up a submission limit, lol.

2011-06-13 [Mystin]: Yes another entry!!!

2011-06-13 [Lord Josmar]: Yay!

2011-06-13 [Karithina]: I like how there is no limit, this can only be fun :D

2011-06-13 [Akayume]: Awesome entries Karithina!

2011-06-13 [Lord Josmar]: Im trying to think of what I can make as a reward for the winner of this contest other then having the winning submission be used. Some sort of badge look alike.

2011-06-14 [Mystin]: I love the originality in your work [Karithina]

2011-06-14 [Karithina]: Awh thanks guys, I was just trying to add a bit of variety like you two were doing :D Oh a badge would be an awesome surprise [Lord Josmar]!

2011-06-14 [Lord Josmar]: I just dont know how to make one that would look genuine...honestly I dont know how to make one at all, lol.

2011-06-14 [Karithina]: There is a guide on how to make a standard badge... orr you could have a Badge for the Support our Council Banner Contest Contest?

2011-06-14 [Lord Josmar]: Sweet! Gonna have to start working on some!

2011-06-17 [Lord Josmar]: Well, I got it all figured out...just dont know what to put inside the badge. Spent about 30-45 minutes looking for an image thinking this contest was for my other wiki I <3 Rubber Duckies.

2011-06-17 [Karithina]: Hahaha at least that one would be easier! Maybe since the council badge itself is a wolf, you could play off that and put a puppy or a plush wolf inside. Or an animal that looks like a banner like a... uh... flounder?

2011-06-17 [Lord Josmar]: Lolz. I had a little duckie pull toy all picked out and placed and was ready to save when I realized what wiki I was doing this for. I think I may do the flounder idea. I'm planning to do a badge for those that join up and my first thought was a wolf wearing a bra...get it...

2011-06-17 [Karithina]: Haha, that took me far longer to get than it ever should have... I started going through which words for banner were the same as words for a bra and missed the obvious XD

2011-06-17 [Lord Josmar]: Lolz. Ok, got the badge done and I am going to post it now.

2011-06-17 [Karithina]: Oh that's byoooteeful XD

2011-06-17 [Alexi Ice]: What is that O.o

2011-06-17 [Lord Josmar]: Tis a flounder

2011-06-17 [Lord Josmar]: RC is thinking about it so I may be able to cudgel her into it.

2011-06-24 [Mystin]: Sorry [Lord Josmar]!

2011-06-24 [Eyonic]: ooo this looks kinda fun fun

2011-06-24 [Lord Josmar]: It is! You should enter, but hurry because the deadline is about a week away.

2011-06-24 [Alexi Ice]: I wish I had talent to do this ~

2011-06-24 [Eyonic]: o.o but what to draw for it...

2011-06-24 [Lord Josmar]: Lolz. You can still enter something if you want. I am really hoping to get a few more entries, especially since we had someone just back out.

2011-06-24 [Lord Josmar]: Anything that fits the theme really.

2011-06-24 [Eyonic]: hmmm I'm thinking something a little comic style...ooooo this will have to wait till morning to draw probably

2011-06-24 [Alexi Ice]: I can make something crappy from paint!

2011-06-24 [Eyonic]: haha i doubt its crappy. my sis cant make a stick figure...

2011-06-24 [Eyonic]: i need help with making see-through background...o.o

2011-06-24 [Lord Josmar]: You dont have photoshop Alexi?

2011-06-24 [Lord Josmar]: I don't know how to make see through backgrounds either or I would help, lol.

2011-06-24 [Eyonic]: i got it to work once, but then it kept saying image error :( i was very sadface

2011-06-24 [Alexi Ice]: NO! I want photoshop so bad I would SELL MY SOUL for it.

2011-06-24 [Lord Josmar]: Lolz. The only problem I have with photoshop is that it is stupidly overpriced.

2011-06-24 [Eyonic]: i got photoshop elementss 6 used for like 30$, twas verrry nice yes

2011-06-24 [Alexi Ice]: Yeah. I want it for my 21st bday. I used to rule photoshop when I was in HS

2011-06-24 [Eyonic]: me too :)

2011-06-24 [Eyonic]: okiday i has my idea sketched up. will probably scan and color it tomorrow. nighty night!

2011-06-24 [Alexi Ice]: You can see my crappy thing in my house ^^

2011-06-24 [Lord Josmar]: Night Eyonic.

2011-06-24 [Eyonic]: hehe i posted mine

2011-06-24 [Karithina]: Yours makes me smile :3

2011-06-24 [Alexi Ice]: Love it!

2011-06-24 [Eyonic]: twas so fun to make ^.^

2011-06-24 [Lord Josmar]: I say this in the straightest most heterosexual way possible. That is adorable! lolz

2011-06-24 [Eyonic]: :D

2011-06-26 [Ravenclaw]: Yeah, I watched reservoir dogs the other day

2011-06-26 [Eyonic]: nice!

2011-06-26 [Ravenclaw]: thanks. I almost did them pink, yellow, orange and blue. I thought that might have been a little much though. A little TOO reservoir dogs.

2011-06-26 [Lord Josmar]: Lolz. Awesome submission. Akane said that she has one that she forgot to post so we should hit at least five submissions before the deadline.

Also, [Karithina] if you want to go to the Support Our Council page and put your name on the supporters list, you are more then welcome too.

2011-06-26 [Flisky]: RC's has so much win.

2011-06-26 [Ravenclaw]: I know, aren't I awesome? lol I need the colors for the rest of the et stylesheets so I can make more that match.

2011-06-26 [Lord Josmar]: Your gonna have to show me how to do transparent backgrounds so I dont have tp spend three hours painstakingly erasing what I dont want.

2011-06-26 [Ravenclaw]: Delete the background layer and save it as a png. Artsieladie taught me. It also helps to work on a colored background to make sure you don't have any flaws you don't want. You can always delete it later. Do everything new on a different layer too, just in case you screw something up.

2011-06-26 [Lord Josmar]: Okies. Though everytime I start a new piece of work the background is locked. Can I still delete it?

2011-06-26 [Ravenclaw]: yes

2011-06-26 [Lord Josmar]: Kk, I already save them as PNGs so thats no problem. What is that "interlace" stuff it always asks about when I save it as a PNG?

2011-06-26 [Karithina]: Ohhh I thought I'd put my name there already [Lord Josmar]; fixed now :D

I had no idea PNGs worked with transparencies here... I got the idea at some point that only GIFs did (strange dream?). You know how some images load straight from top to bottom, and some start off fuzzy and get clearer as they load? Interlacing is the second one :)

2011-06-27 [Alexi Ice]: Must make mine bigger ! O.o

2011-06-27 [Lord Josmar]: Thats looks great Alexi! You shouldnt down yourself!

2011-06-27 [Alexi Ice]: Oh, well thank you ^^ It was done on stupid paint

2011-06-30 [Lord Josmar]: This competition is now CLOSED! Voting has now begun.

Participants: You are allowed to vote, but no voting for yourself.

2011-07-01 [Alexi Ice]: I live Akay's star one !

2011-07-02 [Ravenclaw]: Reservoir Elves... I can't believe I'm winning.

2011-07-02 [Lord Josmar]: This vote could turn any second, you never know!

2011-07-02 [Akayume]: Merci Alexi. :D

2011-07-14 [Lord Josmar]: Gonna give this till the first of August before declaring the winner.

2011-08-02 [Ravenclaw]: woot.
