Request: Some FF Banner Work Please?
I'll be brutally honest, my graphic design skills when it comes to image work are very rusty sooooo;
Could you guys knock me up some banners 1024x250 pixels with a Final Fantasy theme, no text on them though please, imagine they were to be used on, oh I don't know, an Eyes on Final Fantasy front site template or forum theme?
One thing I must stipulate though is only use official Square-Enix artwork or stuff you've drawn

If anyone is interested in using some massive FFXII art for a banner, here are a couple great images. I don't know if either is banner material, but there's potential.
FFXII Art 1
FFXII Art 2

I might consider doing this sometime in my spare time.

A pixel art banner might look neat and be a nice change.

There are a lot of installments, though!
The banner that ShlupieQuacker made for Under the Sea is the nicest banner, I think, because it's simple and uncluttered. Banner makers should follow her example. :hello:

Although I realize it would be a lot of work, I would love to see some original art in the banner, maybe comprising a comical scene starring characters from most games where they're interacting with each other, rather than a collage. Preferably done by a talented artist such as Rocket Edge or black orb, hint hint.

Yeah, I really don't want another collage. Obviously I could be outvoted, and it's important to find a balance between things people recognize (such as characters from specific games) and something that looks good (ie, not a smurfing collage. ).
But some original art, as Rantzien suggested, would be fantastic. Using a piece of Amano art could work well. I'd definitely like to see something unique from the typical combination of character renders from CG cutscenes this time. Not that I'm trying to knock what you did, Polaris.
If you look at some of the top FF sites on Google: FFInsider, FFOnline, FFShrine, you'll notice they all have a bit more original theme than our own. So obviously I'm not saying we should copy them, but I think we can take a hint and try to come up with something a bit fresh.

I remember how many people used the image of Vivi staring up at the sky in that Classic banner competition. It's a great image, and certainly fits into the "Eyes on" theme better than just about anything else.
Here's a pretty big copy, if anybody wants to try their hand at a Vivi banner.
