Ofc lolI-In a good way?
I decided to take a shot at this:Hi folks. We over in the VGC section have been running a weekly tournament for the last 12 weeks and I'd like to create a mega thread for it soon detailing information about it, records, and tournament videos. I'd like some sort of piece to start the thread off with.
I'd like the image to say:
"#smogonvgc Live Tournaments"
"Every Friday, 6 PM EST"
The Pokemon featured in the image can be anything listed in the VGC viability rankings from S, A+, or A tier.
Thanks in advance!
Sorry I forgot to reply. Looks cool so far!I started a sketch of this one, its a hipster Dragonite ^_^ Words and info will be at the side of it
I'm on it!My last request kinda fell through, so if anyone wants to take it up I'd appreciate it!
Also, I have a tour on the horizon that I'd like some art for. This is my attempt:
Tournament name: The Eggbreaker Cup
Host: Me
Projected Deadline: TBA / couple months
Format: OU-ish
Tournament Rules: Pick 6 eggs from list. Battle with what hatches!
Art Direction: Play off the design above (maybe do like a yolk dripping out and spelling the letters?) or come up with something similar/egg related
Ooo, this Let me have a crack at this one! Genesis7 , here's the WIP if you'd like to see it.Tournament name: ORAS Team Tournament
Host: Me
Projected Deadline: 6-7 months
Format: Uber, OU, UU, RU, NU, LC, Doubles.
Tournament Rules: Teams of 8 in the above tiers (2 OU players per team, 1 for every other tier) face off against other teams to see who is the strongest clique in the ORAS generation.
Art Direction: Completely up to the artist's discretion although, some of the newer megas being featured might be nice.
Can do sir, let me try it later on :DTournament name: Another Type Restriction Tournament
Host: antemortem
Projected Deadline: after Sunset Colosseum II ends, so maybe five weeks?
Format: previous iteration
Tournament Rules: Every round, a new type will be banned (non-cumulative), and one type will be required.
Art Direction: There was no art previously, so I've nothing to base it on and no particular concept in mind atm. I'm willing to work with whatever an artist can produce.
Ya I'm looking for a banner, I really like this, very cool touch with the map in the background. I don't have any criticism, I think it looks great. That's some beautiful art!Ooo, this Let me have a crack at this one! Genesis7 , here's the WIP if you'd like to see it.
WIP for now, might add a Rayquaza and Gallade sprite somewhere on the bottom.
Do you need a banner, or just a logo in general? How does it look?(It's my first time at something like this, so I'd love constructive criticism.)Mega Absol isn't new, but it's a big enough mega to be showcased, although I was really thinking about Gallade for the main.(Sugomori Art, if it wasn't obvious. XD) As for the sprites on the bottom, they vary from gen 4 and 5, (The font at the bottom is gen 3's handiwork, as I felt making it a bit retro) and the background is the new Hoenn map from Nintendo itself.
To be completely honest, I don't recommend having a huge background like that, since it doesn't look as fitting to the thread. I feel that the Absol could also be a little less crooked since it looks, rather sloppy. Make the background just transparant so it looks fitting to the thread, and add a few shapes or decorations in general, instead of an entire background.Ooo, this Let me have a crack at this one!

Thanks for participating and helping out in this thread! But even though I understand you're new at creating banners, there are several things I'd suggest to change.
I liked it before and I like it even better now, thanks a ton for this!Thanks for your advice everyone! I really did need it.
I messed around with fonts, but I was stuck from the original R/S/E font to OR and AS's font. If you like those better, I'll be sure to fix it!~
Here's what the final image should look like in the end, although I feel like I put too many gen 3 pokemon in there, so I might change it before the tourney begins.
So, first off, I actually made it look like a banner and not a huge blob, so something nice like 800x250 worked. I couldn't think of any other wallpapers besides this one, and yet I felt making it transparent would've been too little, although I will do that for future banners and stuff.Then I messed around with the font,(As I was strolling through Dafont.com~) as you see those two before all the sprites (After a while, I finally did realize that they do look bad, but there's not much I can do with all of that blank space without making the text look so awkwardly big.)
I put all of the sprites in, and then added effects, but not too much to make it too blurry. (I still feel like Beartic's a bit blurry and all.) But hey, how does it look now?
That looks quite a bit better. I can barely see the text though, maybe make it a lighter color. Also, just like you said, the sprites look blurry. Maybe just add Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza for a simple touch. Lots of improvement though, which I like! :DThanks for your advice everyone! I really did need it.

I'll do this one ^_^ WIP to be up soonTournament Name: SABOTAGE
Host: FireMage
Projected deadline: TBC - so approx 4-5 months.
Format: See Previous tour thread
Rules: See Tour thread
Basic rundown being - You have to ban x amount of pokémon of your opponents once you lose your match. Thus sabotaging their team / limiting their teambuilding options in further rounds.
Art direction: As much as I like the previous one (Especially the text) I feel a better link with actually sabotaging something can be made within the banner. I'll leave things up to the artist
This is my take on the Sabotage banner, as well as my second attempt to reply to FireMage's request.Tournament Name: SABOTAGE

Im sorry I didnt get the notification I love th idea - it's right up my alley. But I think it could be executed better. For example; everything being so pointy isn't how I saw the piece going. I appreciate the effort you putr into this, though. I really do.This is my take on the Sabotage banner, as well as my second attempt to reply to FireMage's request.

I love how you've stylized it - but I feel it doesn't really fit in with the theme of Sabotaging something.Excuse my double post but I have a work in progress image for you FireMage. Its inspired by monster movie posters from the 1950's. Need to color the line art, shade do the background, etc.
