Okay guys, I'm conducting a Mystery Graphics Contest. The goal is to create a series of visual image tags that allude to a given subject. There are lots of subjects that I'm going to list, and you can create tags for one or all of the subjects.

It's a mystery contest right now because I'm not yet revealing why we're making these. But all finalists (judged by me) will receive a custom title, and will be told what the tags are for. The rest of you will find out when the knowledge becomes public in the near future. The contest will probably run about a week, not much longer. I'll let you know whe things are about the close up. So until I say otherwise, the contest is over on 2/15.

Here are the rules:

-> All tags MUST be 590 x 130.

-> No text allowed

-> No copyrighted art as stock images (ie stuff from DeviantArt. Movie/book promotional material is fine)

-> No C4Ds or other trendy internet 'GFX' shit

-> I might be making up more rules depending on what kind of stuff I get.

Here are the topics:

-Inheritance
-Harry Potter
-Any popular fantasy or sci-fi book or series

-Reading/Literature
-Technology
-Nature
-Fantasy (whole genre)
-Sci-fi (whole genre)
-Romance
-Movies
-Video Games
-Blogs
-Novel-writing
-Candle light
-Mystery
-Darkness

-All officially recognized holidays
-i.e. Valentines Day
-Christmas
-Halloween
-etc

Okay, I might be adding more subjects as I think of them. But those are them as of now. You can choose any of them, and can submit multiple entries for the same subject. Lastly, I will request that I'd like to see high quality, classy looking images, and no brush-grunge rape.

Post all images here in this thread!

What do we do with them? Post them here? Or PM...?

Do you really hate grunge that much?

[Arthryn]

Post them here.

And no, I don't hate grunge so much that I think it's overused and it's not appropriate for what I'm looking for.

Alright, I'm gonna just jump in here with this one.... don't quite know what you want, but I tried what I thought would work for this.

Hope it's alright...

[Darth Futuza]

Which one did you intend it to go for, scifi?

For either Scifi or technology heres one entry:


Hopefully, that doesn't have "trendy internet 'GFX' pooop" in it, it shouldn't. Its suppose to be some sort of futuristic cockpit or radar.

EDIT:

And here's a space one:


And here is 'Darkness' (or Fantasy):

I may change this one, I'm not liking it so much.

And how are we suppose to make that visually appealing?

[Pasteurized]

Heres my Inheritance one.

[Kvothe]

Cycling banners or some-such? One for each forum, maybe, and of course special ones for holidays. Eh, I don't know if my skills are up to this. Also: How can we do Harry Potter or Inheritance etc. themed tags without using copyrighted Harry Potter or Inheritance etc. material?

[Pasteurized]

I didn't use any copyrighted material for mine. (Yeh that thing is for inheritance).

[Kari]

I'm in, too. Ooh, haven't used the GIMP in an eternity.

... I can't respond to that with tact.

I doubt it will really matter if its just stock images, like screenshots from the movie, as long as you don't claim that you created the original image, intend to sell it, or defame it. I dunno Athyryn will have to answer this one.
