Stuart you should do all your initial stuff in greyscale and make sure the values are strong, it wouldn't matter much then what color it is, I admire your tenacity !

Thanks. I struggle to do that as I haven't got a convincing way of getting it non-muddy. I'll keep trying now and again though.

Just a mock up of the banner I started working on to see what it looked like in the header (no colors yet). Didn't change any of the text at the moment since I'm just trying to see how the image would read (it is all on a transparent background). Although there is more "real estate" on the forum page banner, not sure if extending art elements beyond the graphic provided as a template is a good idea.

Interesting look. Just watch the construction though, the writing's a bit close to her head, so it feels claustrophobic. :)

I think everyone's entries are looking very fun and promising. Just a reminder though - don't let yourselves be limited by the current banner size or colours. This contest isn't for the real deal, remember? It would be great and we hope to have challenges about the real banner in future but that would require us to set up some more strict parameters to follow regarding proportions and size etc. The current challenge is hypothetical and gives you room to choose advert format.

Just thought I'd remind everyone :)

The restriction on my part on size, etc. was self-imposed. Just wanted to see if I remembered how to work for web use since the requirements are so different with size, resolution, etc. I'll probably blow my resolution up to a much larger size before I do anything else, but I may still keep the dimensions/ratio as a guide.

Just blocked in some colours and added some lighting to background to give the appropriate mood.




Or upside down if you prefer!




P.S. Painting green skin is hard!!!
