I'm working as fast as I can! (How do you all find such small fonts?)

Edit: OK, here we go, this is a little radical:

Girls dressed as Sailor Moon.

Now, if used, this would be a transparent banner, so you have to see it in context. It would look like this. We haven't had that, so I thought it might be interesting.

Also, if it's used, I might have to adjust the background color to make it match perfectly with the blue of the board, because my particular software might have rendered it a slightly different shade of blue.

Just wondering, how do we vote and when does it start.

There isn't a poll. Tiff judges them and decides the winners. ^^

Well, if it's any consolation, I like SMOF's the best.

That's not what this is for. Please don't start discussing which one is your favorite. I don't want that sort of thing to start.

Tiff, I promise I'm trying my hardest to make a banner - I just can't find a good picture yet. ><

Ooh, it sounds like some secret mission.

Your mission? Complete a halloween banner. Your deadline? Midnight tomorrow. Do not reveal this mission to anyone. Do not reveal your identity. Find the best pictures, of the greatest quality, and drop it off at the Other section on the SMU forums.

This post will self-destruct in 20 seconds.

Yeah, really! >_< Everyone else can get wonderful text on their banners and have it fit nicely. The Gimp is great, but it has a craptastic text function, so I have to do everything in Paint. ;_;

*wishes she could think of another banner in the next couple of hours*

When I need to a small font I use Arial since you can get it to 9pt and it's still perfectly readable. Otherwise I just play with fonts and sizes until I get something I like >_> In my banner's case I thought the Nightmare Before Christmas font would be fitting, so I used it.

And Photoshop rocks, enough said XD

Allrighty. I finally got the avatars ready. I know they aren't my best...I tried really hard, ya'll. But my brain is somewhat dead, and my eye hurts, so yeah. ><

1st - NameGoesHere, "Freakshow"
2nd - Blackat, "WTF costumes"
3rd - Sailor Asteroid, "Bewitched"

There is also a Kisu's choice award, and he will post his choice when he gets a chance, tonight.

here are your avatars:

1st - http://tpm.action-reaction.org/smu/1st.jpg
2nd - http://tpm.action-reaction.org/smu/2nd.jpg
3rd - http://tpm.action-reaction.org/smu/3rd.jpg

I decided to go with some of Naoko's work from the Sailormoon Channel Princess Room, rather than with sailor moon itself. The first two are little witches, and the last is a sorta gothic-lolita. ^^

as usual, lemme know when you get them.

I was really happy with the entries I got..there was a LOT of creativity this time around, and it was hard to choose.

Until Christmas...thanks for playing!

Got mine!

Blackat · Post by **Blackat** » Tue Oct 03, 2006 7:28 pm

Whoo, second place! *high fives*

I love your one, NameGoesHere. XD

Edit: Got mine.

Fruityla · Post by **Fruityla** » Tue Oct 03, 2006 7:31 pm

The costumes one was priceless XD I laughed when I first saw it.

NameGoesHere · Post by **NameGoesHere** » Tue Oct 03, 2006 7:45 pm

I snagged my avatar, Tiffu. Thank you~! *_*

*totally inappropriate girly squeal* Congratulations to Blackat and Sailorasteroid! The costume banner is very funny, and witch Hotaru is a great idea.

I wasn't trying to imply that SMU is a freakshow, or anything. Just so you know.

Oh, come on. We totally are. XD

Blackat · Post by **Blackat** » Tue Oct 03, 2006 9:33 pm

I was totally just going to post something like that, Tiff. XD

And thanks for the comments guys - I was desperately searching for any picture that was Halloweenish, and then I remember that episode. So I slapped on the first thing that came to my head, and that was about it. XD
