Hello, and good afternoon! It's contest time everyone, so here's the low-down:
_______________________________________________________________/

Halo4News.net is an up and coming Halo4 news forum. As information is released on the new 343 Industries trilogy you can find all the info posted up here in a timely fashion. They offer discussion on all things halo as well and have many interesting things coming in the near future. Feel free to hit the forums.halo4news.net/ and drop in on them to join the community. As new as they are they are in dire need of new members!

Being in the design phase still, they have asked me to work on the skin and layout for the forums. How cool! But I had a thought. Why should I be the only one putting anything into this? I'm only one Halo fan after all. So here's where the contest comes into play.

I'm making a call out to all fellow artists and Halo fans alike to design a site banner! We have been thinking something with a darker feel to play off of the mystery revolving around the new trilogy. But that's the fun thing about this. You are only limited to your imagination, and your submission will be what we use to base the rest
of the skin design on. You are directly influencing how the end result for the ENTIRE site will look!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


So here are the specifications:
________________________/

Max dimensions- 150X1300 (may be slimmer or shorter of course)

Theme- Halo in general, please stray away from tying it to any specific game. If you must base your design on any of them, stick with Halo4 or the reclaimer trilogy as a whole.

File type- We are looking primarily for you to save as a .png file if possible, but if anybody is planning to take the animation route and submit a .gif that is acceptable. The main concern is that any transparencies are retained and that there is a certain high quality standard. Pixelated or blocky submissions will have to be declined. Sorry in advance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Submitting:
_________/

Send your submission to :iconcatncobra:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's it! Depending on the amount of submissions we receive I will post a deadline in a follow up blog. When it starts to slow down expect a few days for any stragglers out there and then judging will start. We will be sending out messages to the winner(s) we choose. Plans for rewards are still in the works, but I personally am rooting for a custom title on the forums or something else to flaunt and show off. More on that in the follow up blog though.


I can't wait to see all of your submissions! Let the contest begin!


P.S. Wow! It's been a long time since we posted a blog huh?
Many of you might have thought that this
clubs is dead. Well, sad to tell ya, no.
This is just kinda of a filler, as the
leader of the group, CatNCobra havent
said a Meow in months and days.

Just a quick question: Do you know
what the Inside Gaming Awards 2010
is? And what game do you hope will be
the GOTY? I am sure looking forward to
seeing FancyNanners!
Well, we havent posted a blog in some time. Figured today may as well be the day I spew out some stats we have accomplished and alert you all that our current emblem (dubbed the "Llama-Tourage") is going to be our official winner for the vote since we had a tie, nobody else came around to break it for like 2 weeks, and I am after-all the founder giving me tie breaker rights :D


So now then lets get started.

-50 members mark: check!
-50 watchers mark: check!
-500 page views: old news, check!
-1000 submissions: my god....that was on day 2 or something...CHECK!


All of this is great, not exactly important in my eyes as pertaining to what this group is all about. Yes, we love when you submit your art. Yes, we love helping you be seen. But, one of our major focuses is to create a community of DA members interested in becoming friends with other people in the group as well as giving constructive feedback on each others art.

I have had some chats with a few of you and know first hand that we have very nice and friendly people here already. DONT BE SHY! come on out and chat with the rest of us, spark a convo, comment on some art in the gallery. Just do something in hopes of making new friends and improving our group as a whole.


Thanks for reading,
-CatNCobra
