I got a little bored last week and though on creating a new banner for SVMB, and having only finished it just now, I thought I'd share it with the rest: Now, although this is the final version of this banner, it's in no way finished. You'll notice that there's a transparent ~25-pixel-high bar at the bottom (and 20 at the top, but unless the canvas size is stretched a bit further, what I ask won't fit at the top); this is where the fun part begins. In order to make the banner more "SV-friendly", simply place a sprite of your character onto the banner* and post it back in this thread so others can paste their's next to your character, should they wish to post it there nad then or wait a little longer should s/he want their character placed next to someone else.** *Note #1: It will be impossible to do this in Paint; get something like paint.NET, Photoshop or any other transpency-dealing image editor. Note #2: Depending on which side the first sprite is on (I suggest the right-hand-side), Matt's sprite would be "at the front" (thus next to the SV logo), followed by some of the other oldbies, etc. etc.. **Note #3: Sprites are to arranged as so: ------------ So who wants to paste their character on first? (a simple standing or "victory" pose would suffice, preferrably facing the right-hand-side, and preferrably Advance/Battle style.) Current list: (from back to front) [will be edited as we go along]

Aye. I'll try my best to edit main post as much as possible when it needs updating, otherwise just find it on the latest post.

I used that I-don't-wanna-be-here-right-now look. I'd move him closer to the right, but then Max would have an antenna in his face.

Looks a little rough to be honest.

Well, I was struggling to do the yellow outline in paint.NET (because I'm too much of a cheapskate to get Photoshop and my PC wouldn't cope with the graphics anyway). so using the brush tool was my best bet.

The same effect can be achieved using GIMP by making some text, selecting it all with the colour select tool, going to edit->stroke and having at it.
On that note, you could always get the PS CS3 30 day trial from adobe's website perfectly legally.

I lack Paint.net or Photoshop, and I can't install Paint.net (I lack administrative permission, and I don't want to answer questions), SOOOOOOOOOOOO... You know where it goes, right?

Kay, some tips if you want to make stuff: First, use the original SV title as the one already there. It follows the site that way. Second, you're best off gathering together a load of sprites then arranging them rougly in order of familiarity/popularity/whatever criteria you're going on afterwards. I like the idea, though.

I don't actually have a sprite anymore... ...So I just used myself. I also threw D00d's in there for good measure, too.
