Already posted it in two topics, and that one is more appropriate... :

Did this with Paint (yes, you read it right - a friend added the template for me), for Squad Elite challenge:

I won't submit it, obviously; I used materials that were not mine (two screenshots: 1, 2), because I was too lazy to launch the game and take pictures myself. I would have had to find Photoshop too.
It's too dark and the "elbow ship" is misplaced,... but it could have been worse!

Anyone with more skill is free to steal my idea!
The picture of Hackett was taken in the briefing after Sur'Kesh.
The picture of the Fleet was taken in a FMV at the end of the game.

And I was thinking about using the kid with the toy at the beginning of the game (or in the trailer) for the "Nomad" challenge. If someone thinks it's a good idea, take it.

I think it looks great and they're only screen shots, it's not like they're their art. Plus, you don't need Photoshop, Gimp is free.

I'm thinking I should change the background. Thoughts?
Sharpened and added outer glow. Anything else?

I like it. Maybe add a shadow/glow behind the characters or something? Also, sharpen the characters. When you shrink an image that has a lot of detail so much it's a good idea to sharpen.

Another Collector mastery idea

If this was picked, I'd use it; good job.

Though you need to factor in the safe margins for the transparency.

Well, I imagine any banner submitted shouldn't have the overlay. If it has the overlay BioWare probably couldn't use it. Because of that all of them are fine in that regard.

Thank you. I'm actually considering making one "for real" after your comments.

@B2S:
Yes I know, but the authors of the 2 screenshots asked for credit. I will replay the game and try to make it with my own material (and Gimp, thanks).

I wasn't so much talking about the overlay, but simply elements that get cut off because of the transparent margins; if you don't test them as such you might end up with something that is of lesser quality composition.

Near perfect. Though I think you should just flip the image horizontally, so the emphasis is on the Collector rather than the black hole.

I want a FemShep Lone Wolf Banner. :wizard:


Me too!! Get to it Blind2Society! :D
I kinda don't want it to be the ME3 default femshep though, but I don't think anything else would be credible for a banner unfortunately.

^ Hey, from what I've seen you know your way around image editing yourself. ;)

I see what you mean, not sure any of the ones I made will have an issue there but I did save xcf files so I can edit them however.

That said, I'm not even sure I can submit any of them. I already submitted one before the submission rules were clarified (they still haven't been). I'm hoping I can re-submit.

Well, I got some bad news on the topic of submissions. Only one entry from each person, no matter how many they submit will ever make it to the judges. If a person submits more than one somebody (not sure who) will select the best one an that will proceed on to judging.

I think that the screenshots work better than the MP assets. Especially the GI is quite ugly.

Geth Trooper has a far superior 'lobby' art.

I wish more folks would post their banners, I love seeing these. I think a shot of a Quarian cruiser with the fleet in the background would fit the Nomad banner if you artsy folks are looking for ideas (Quarians are the galaxies nomads).

Oh did you finally get an answer from BroJo?

Getting this straight.... I can send ONE email submission - there CAN be multiple banner designs inside the one email, but some sort of pre-judge will choose one design from the email and pass it on for judging?

Working on a Zaeed Lone Wolf banner. Not too sure about it at the moment, my mind is going in a bunch of different directions.

I think I like this a little better but I'm still all over the place.
