LARP Aid: Front Page Image
Oct 17^th, 2009, 11:49am

Much as I am fond of the lady with the weapons and the fingers, I think she has become a little dated. I'd like a new image to put on the front page of the site, so I'm throwing this one to you guys.

Requirements:
1) It has to be able to fit into the same space she does.
2) It can be any medium - photograph, drawing, painting, photoshop... whatever.
3) Colour/sepia/B&W are all fine. I'm open to other options too, so long as it fits with the rest of the site style.
4) It has to be an image to represent the Unreality Tournament rather than LARP Aid.

So, yeah. Best image stays on the site until we decide it needs a revamp. If the last one is anything to go on, it might be 6 years Tongue

We'll have a vote for the entries, and I'll stop accepting submissions At Some Point Grin

In the meantime, feel free to post them in this thread!

The size of the current one is 193x250 and is a 14KiBi gif.

So ideally not much more than that, the front page already takes just shy of 4 seconds to load from campws.

Randomly plucking numbers from the air I'd say 200x250 for the dimensions and 250KiBi for the size, any format (gif/png/jpg) is acceptable.

Edited:

upped the file size to 250KiBi

I'm only really doing it as an exercise in 'how crap/surprisingly good is my drawing skill after ix months of neglect'? Turns out, it's actually pretty good... which surprised me immensley, lol.

The deadline was going to be announced after I had some submissions so that anyone else who wanted a go knew how long they had left. I had no submissions for three months, and assumed there was no active interest, so when a professional lady got in touch with a line-drawing already done, I figured that was all I'd be getting
