Since I no longer have any decent image editing software available to me, I'm in need of a good artist to make a good banner.

First of all, it's going to have to be an animated gif, rotating through 2 images.

The first image is for my team Generals of Wei. I'd like it to include parts these images:

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a244/Durin13/CaoPiCG.jpg
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a244/Durin13/XuHuangCG.jpg
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a244/Durin13/ZhangLiaoCG.jpg

Crop them as you feel neccessary, but I'd like all four faces to be there, at minimum! Also, it should say Generals of Wei on it somewhere in blue, and the team ID which is 407900

The second image is just this one:

No need to do any editing on that one other than to make it rotate with the first.

Edit-
I completely forgot to say what the prize is!

Whoever's banner I use gets QT Pitch and a QT Contact!

lewboy, you still working on that entry?

I'll throw in a QT Catch along with the other two QTs if I see one that I really like!

I'm gonna do this too... it'll be done shortly! Rolling Eyes

BAM!!!!

that's wet ink, don't touch quite yet Wink

Wow pizzaguy, that is excellent!

Three things though: Would it be possible to remove the border and could you change the canvas color to white? I just don't like those black corners on the THC banner and I've never been much of a border fan. Also, would it be possible to move the face you put on the far left (Zhang Liao) over a bit? It just sort of looks like he's hiding in the corner. Wink

Other than that, excellent!

I'll wait for lewboy to tell me if he's still got something he's working on just to be fair before I hand out any prizes. If he's given up, all 3 QTs are yours!

Looks nice ALT!

Few suggestions:

I think the two foremost guys could use some sharpening (they're looking a bit fuzzy). Also, the one in the very front still has some white around the edges, so it'd be great if you could remove that, if possible.

Also, the back-most guy is really hard to see, partle because the text is covering him and partly because he's a little too transparent.

Last thing is that the ID number is really hard to read with that font (although it does look extremely cool, I'll admit). The 'Generals of Wei' looks awesome though, so if you could find a similar font to put the ID number in that would be great, or just find a different font for both. It's the 4 in particular that looks really screwed up. Confused

Wasn't expecting so many submissions this long after I posted the request! It's going to be a tough choice!

Sorry lewboy, I said Saturday and so to be fair to everyone else who submitted I've got to stick to it, even though I'm sure whatever you were working on (or planning to work on) was great!

Anyway, this was a really tough decision, pizzaguy, ALT, and questionmark's submissions were all much better than I expected.

But since I have to choose...

I'm going to go with questionmark's! Congrats, you put together an excellent banner and thanks for taking my requested changes to heart! I'll PM you those QT ticket codes in a couple minutes, and then I'll stick that banner in my signature!

Thanks again to everyone who submitted, we've really got some awesome artists here (makes me very jealous)!
