RPC Xmas Banner Contest!

[Ambidextroid]

Welcome to the RPC Xmas Banner Contest!
It's almost that time once again! We're approaching the end of the year and the Wintry holidays are settling in. Some will see snow, some will see rain, and some will just get bored. But there's always our Wintry theme to get into the mood! We've begun work on getting one set up for this year, and this is where this contest has come in. Last year, we asked members to submit assets for our 2016 Winter Theme, and I hope it was as sublime to our members as it was to us. And now, we need your help once again!

So, what's needed?
For this year, we simply require a forum banner. You can find the templates for the banner here or make one from scratch; the dimensions of the image should be 1280 x 185 pixels.

Deadline: 20th December

We intend to reward all participants with 500 tings as standard, the chosen entry will be used in the 2017 RPC Winter Theme, and will also receive 2500 tings.

We look forward to seeing what the community comes with!

[WizardMinecraft]

[Hunchman801]

[WizardMinecraft]

Master already explained it:

I've noticed you seem to be having trouble when linking images. Make sure you right click the image you want and copy the image address. I'm assuming at present you're copying and pasting what's in your address bar, which doesn't work if the image is embedded onto a webpage. You need the link to the image itself, not the page it's on.

So, for the image you've linked, what you needed was: storage/28391/163bfbe2b0a9a820843d0994e8bdf47d
And the image:

[WizardMinecraft]

There i fixed it.

I think you're looking for SOTM, this is the contest to encourage members to create a festive banner to replace this banner for the Xmas period:


EDIT: I'm certainly not a graphics master of any kind, but given that there's not been any attempts. I've decided to offer a quick 'un hopefully to provide some ideas:

[Ambidextroid]

Thought I might chip in with this one, basically Master's design with a Santa Hat

[Serza5]

Not sure if this needs a bit more things to make it fancier but I made something with the help of Master who gave me the screenshot and the "happy holiday" text.

[Adsolution]

Ooh, I like that one Serza3

[Ambidextroid]

Oooh, nice
Is that from somewhere in the game? It looks like it but I can’t think where

[Master]

It is indeed from the Summit Beyond the Clouds:


I took a few snapshots, feel free to use them.

[Serza5]

Oooh, nice

Ooh, I like that one Serza3

Thank ya lads. I'm still not sure about the colour of it though as i'd of liked it to be a bit closer to blue than it is to grey.

[Reese Riverson]

Ooh, I like that one Serza3

Serza3? How many Serzas do we have around here?

[PluMGMK]

It's like MI5 and MI6. Nobody knows for sure what happened to the other four (at least).

[Serza5]

Don't numbers in usernames usually represent year of birth?

[Ambidextroid]

Says the one with just 5 in their username

[Serza5]

I only say my birth year is in 1993 as RPC only allows birthdays to go as far back as 1917.

[Adsolution]

you are 2012 ano ?
