Hey guys! I know a few of you have noticed the strange bullshit going on in the forum's background image. This is because I made it and I am lazy and/or dumb at the photoshaps.
SO I'M MAKING A F#$KING CONTEST OUT OF IT
DUE SUNDAY 9/14 SURVIVAL MODE ACTIVATED, FIGHT TO THE DEATH FOR ETERNITY
MAKE A BACKGROUND FOR THE FORUM!
It should meet the following criteria: - Better than the one that's here already - is visually inviting - is something that all of us here would want to see for a while!
I am the only judge for this contest. Ask questions if you need more information or ideas. There may be a prize involved! I have power and wealth!
BRING ME YOUR ARTISTIC SACRIFICES

So size? Resolution? Any color limit? Ect? And can we use any splice from the site, or is it off limits? Will we just give credit to the users on the background, or just somewhere random in the forum? My random questions.

Will we just give credit to the users on the background, or just somewhere random in the forum? My random questions. size and resolution - any normal wallpaper size, like a desktop wallpaper, should work. you do need to keep in mind that most of the middle space will be blocked by the forum itself, and that the background does not have a set ratio of size to the forum (but i bet i could make it so if i worked at it so that's not a big deal) you can use anything you want - i would recommend contacting the owners of splices you use, though. i would not recommend contacting people that are not a member of the forum though usually i'll add the credit on the forum itself if necessary, just provide that information when you submit

could we draw splices instead if we so desired?
or should we stick to sprites?

notice that there aren't any splices in the background currently basically it's a free for all that looks better than what is there

we could make a post on the blog for others to submit their splices for the forum (plus it'll probably get a few people interested)

I've been working on the current background and making it not suck. There's no way I'm gonna finish on time, but I may as well show you what I have so far. link

Are you just replacing the faded sprites with their unmodified sprites? Part of the job of a background is to be subdued enough in terms of color to not overpower a page's actual content.

Well my main objective is to to get rid of all the white spots and restore the pieces that got erased somehow, but that's basically impossible the way it is now, so that's why I'm replacing the sprites. I'll do something to fade it afterwards. (btw, the image was much bigger before I uploaded it to Photobucket, how do I fix that?)
I also considered making an alternate version where I rearrange them based on hue and brightness, but that's be so much more work it wouldn't even make an extended deadline. (I might make it anyway, though)

why don't we make a submissions thread on the forum so you can submit your splices you've already done to make it into a big background?

also i just realized that forum backgrounds take more than a week so i'm extending the deadline forever. i will accept your submissions at any time and it is possible they will ALL be featured in some way if i deem them worthy
let your backgrounds fight to the death go

I'm not sure if that'll work since I don't have Photoshop. (Just realized I made a typo in my last post and meant to say Photobucket)
