Banner projects

I decided to add a topic for the banner proposals related to "Spreading the Word Out".

Here's mine, doesn't mean we'll have to pick that one, if you have better ideas they'll be more than welcome 

As already said in the topic linked above, the cards refer to our roleplay (game, so to speak) and allow to show the actual members under two faces:
one of a shinigami and the other of a fake human. 

Colors about to come soon so if you have any requests about that please tell me fast.
I'll also add background colors and titles on my comp afterwards, so once again if you have any ideas about that, submit them as soon as possible.

Step 1 Sketch:

Waah, I like the new one, you're on it that's good *^* And, really, Ru's glasses are supra cool. Love them. How sexy you are *^* I'm proud to be your wife dear. A fucking energetic wife it seems XD And Mayu as always is really good. Dunno why, but Mayu is nearly always the prettiest on our drawings.  Kageshi, always so dark o/

Thanks

I'm pretty sure everyone here loves Ru-chan's fashion. She's a lady with great ideas, can't overlook that.

You are a very delightful wife dear, the pride is mine to share. I'm glad if you like being so peppy!
For your hair I tried out something else (compared to the other drawing in modern clothes), something closer to Nia's haircut since you both have fluffy light blue hair (and that you've watched Gurren Lagann  )
Ah and so that you know the beard usually comes and goes but this time it might stay.

Lol that she is. She's always got that very enticing princess vibe sparkling around her doesn't she?

I love the new drawing Hiro! Everyone looks good! Especially Ru and Hiro! Ru looks beautiful!

Haha Stop it Satori. You're making me blush   I think everyone looks great in all the pictures 'cause we have such wonderful artists here.

Oh gosh... I do not have a princess vibe  But you did a wonderful job Hiro!  Can't wait to see it in color. I don't really have a preference, you already know that Mayu's color is Purple as a shinigami... My favorite color is red though.

Yeaah, you're right that's it XDD She really has a princess aura, now you said it I know why I always have the impression she's the prettiest !

Oh, well, I haven't watched it, just saw AMV and read the first issue but I should watch the anime, people said it's cool. I like my hair like this, and Nia is so fucking cute *^* I'm flattered.

That's funny, because Satori's color is blue but in reality I prefer green ! That's cool sometimes to try new colors XD

Oh really? haha. Yeah it is cool  Great minds think alike

Thanks ~ And you Hiro, is your favourite color green ?

Wow Hiro', I love your drawing ! We're so cool !

I've always loved green. Matches my hazelnut eyes well  Then I had a red&black period, light blue, and now I've added white.
I don't have one favorite it's more about the total above. Colors keep piling up haha.

About Gurren Lagann, something struck me. Each one of us can be compared to a char in that show, so easily it's troubling:






Now then, here is what the universe has been waiting for all these years:

Step 3, Color! 

Haha I see this way that's true XD 
Oooh, great colors dear *^* I really like Ru's ones ! Hiro's ones too, I love the way green is present in your character ! You did a nice job with the shadows on Kageshi's shinigami form ! But doesn't Kageshi human form have big eyes ?

I love it!! Everyone looks great  

Well I've never watched Gurren Lagann before... but I can sorta see what you were talking about haha 

Satori wrote:

Hm well yeah... cause he's a young anime boy?  

Thanks a lot for all your praises I am really glad that you like it so much.

What colors do we put for the background?
Also we'll have the following titles:
-Bleach! Let's kick some asses
-Collective fanfiction
-Manga
-Anime
-Fanart
-Games
-Love / Family

I need you to propose colors for every one of them please

Hmm... How about Bleach colors for the forum's name....

And for each of the other things can be in the color of a member, almost as if they're the one's mentioning it? IDK haha

Alright I'm on the title.

Hm nice idea! 
So something like:

Ru: Fanart
Satori: Fanfictions
Mayu: Anime
Tsu: Games (in white because if it's in black we won't be able to see a thing)
Hiro: Love
Hutskoi: Mangas


Collective fanfic in a specific color?
Or maybe instead of collective fanfic, something like "Last Arc rewriting"?

And the background?

Last arc rewriting seems good to me, I like it !
For the background, you can do a kind of table, to confirm the card aspect ! With things like pencils, or little objects... And maybe you could write the forum adress at the bottom of the page !

Okay then what color for "Last Arc Rewriting"?
Something flashy AND different from the colors used earlier. (no pink, no yellow, no green, no red, no blue, no white cause Tsu's in white).

About the background, this sure is a very good idea.
Only thing I don't really fancy is the "table texture", otherwise adding stuff like pens, a rubber and pencils could indeed look great.
I had planned to use a grey background, same as our forum, because HERE IS OUR BADASS TITLE:

Ohh It looks nice  You made it in powerpoint?   I had no clue you could make something like that in that program. . . Pretty cool.

That little subtitle that you have is good.  I wouldn't go with "Last Arc Rewriting" though...

Eh no not all of it, first I had to download the Bleach font.
Then on Powerpoint I corrected some space and letter width (like the M and N are even thinner normally)
Around the title and subtitle written I inserted and cut the real Bleach title, only kept and modified the flames and double red bar under.

Afterwards I added the blue rectangle behind the subtitle, and also the red&white line below the title (wasn't meant to exist but had to connect that to odd parts on the flames that didn't fit right)
before finally getting a dark grey color for the background.

Modifying the forum title to have both Ichi slicing Menos still moving and that new title I've made was even longer   
I had to make screenshots of the green gif, then add it above the title, hide the old forum title in Admin Panel, then create another gif on a website. Needless to say I tried three other ways before finding that one.
Lots of fun this afternoon...

I ain't lying when I say that my butt is full of new holes because of the work I do here, y'know? 

So then, about Last arc rewriting. Indeed, we might have to come out with something better.
I don't want to re-use "fanfiction" since we already have that.
Collective could be a good word I think, so that people feel like they're part of a team.
Instead of rewriting... I don't have that many ideas that could keep with the sense of getting a new story a bit different from the actual one. Retelling sounds pretty much like rewriting...
Unofficial Collective Arc?
but which arc? Invading Army of Cut&Paste Clones?  Zanpakutou's Mysterious Unknown Tales? 
How can the last arc be referred to? Final Arc? 1000 Year Blood Arc is friggin too long  Quincy Arc?

Hmm... Instead of rewriting.... maybe alternative story-line.... or parallel? Since we're creating a parallel universe... 

So something like: "[The] Alternative Quincy War Arc" or "[A] Parallel Quincy War Arc"

I'd rather use The.
Good to pretend we're unique in writing a fanfiction this long and implying multiple people 

Hahaha remember? "Bleach Parallel Path" was my first idea for the forum title when our think tank was on Youtube

I'm okay with Quincy War Arc. Shorter than 1000 year... and different from Last/Final Arc that we already have on the title.
So if I add all those ideas on the banner, what we get could look like this:

Ah, I like that subtitle a lot ! Simple, short and cool. You have my agreement o/

Yeah I liked it with "The" too, makes us sound important. lol The banner looks nice but the words are a little blurry... not sure how to fix it though...

It pains me but I have absolutely no idea why it looks so blurry on here. When I open the file on my comp it looks fine! 
I really hope on TopRPSites it will look better when downloading it.

Checked it again, with different formats it still looks blurry, with different fonts too (so can't come from Bleach font). Even a screenshot of the fine-looking picture looks blurry on here.
So it could come from the downloading/hosting part...
Yet I've changed my profile pic and signature using the same hosting thing and it looks alright.
To sum it up, I am in deep shit.

Satori proposed in a PM to color the line splitting the cards in two, what do you think? 
If agreed (I already do), should we use one color for all (in that case, which one?), or our respective special colors?

P.S. Hanata I didn't draw the pens and stuff, downloaded them from Internet haha.
See that half bitten onigiri on top? I copied the onigiri that is at the bottom. Then I had to cut its upper part in a weird way, and add tiny squares to make people think it's been half eaten and some grains of rice fell around.
Not to brag as you can easily tell   but I'm pretty damn proud of it hehehe 

Alright I've sorted it out:

Some of the text in the banner is blurry because some colors don't match well together. 
The bigger the text is, the worse. Italic doesn't help at all either.
That's the reason why on the dark background "fanfiction", in light blue, can be read fine, whereas "fanart" in red can't.

The solution is simple: since the combinations are limited, I propose to replace all colors here by white except for "The Alternative Quincy Arc".
Colors affordable are the following:
light blue
light pink
yellow
light green.

By the way. "Quincy" looks pretty awful with the bleach font. Here I replaced it by "Blood". 
Thanks to Satori the personal colors are kept on each card. Satori I chose the blue from your pullover rather than light blue because 1. Already used on the collective fanfic; 2. Light blue doesn't fit with white.

Test with light blue for "The Alternative Blood War Arc": 

I'm sure it'll look good on TopRPSites I agree with Satori that the lines should be colored and that it should be our respective colors since there's that sort of theme going.

Oh wow I had no clue that you made that half eaten Onigiri. Good job  I also like the detail on the pencil haha

Edit: As I went to submit this I found out that Hiro posted again   Well I like it. It's too bad that most of the words have to be in white. I agree that Quincy didn't look too good... The "Q" sorta looked like an "O".
