Whew, I don't think I'll have time to enter this year (there's a small chance, but right now it's not looking like I'd be able to in time). But I'm looking forward to seeing the banners~! Good to see some GE999 and SSX love!  [:love] Good luck everyone!

First:
(http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/2579/wmttf1.th.jpg) (http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/2579/wmttf1.jpg)

3000 Leagues in Search of Mother + The Trapp Family Story + Little Princess Sara

Kind of rebus in background, answer (select): WMT (World Masterpiece Theater), left/middle: world + right/bottom: constellation in the form of a "M" + right: theater curtains

Second:
(http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/13/kordu6.th.jpg) (http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/13/kordu6.jpg)

Kimagure Orange Road, but wait where is that le-pill peeking at!

Alternate version (I prefer the other one)
(http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/5207/kor2or8.th.jpg) (http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/5207/kor2or8.jpg)

Third? (2 versions):

Tokyo Marble Chocolate, not a current project so not really allowed. What is that pig so happy about?

That's all folks.

Post by: tlynnec on December 31, 2008, 08:14:36 pm
Looking good so far. I'm hoping for a few more by tonight :p

Also, I'm making an exception to allow Tokyo Marble Chocolate banners.  The show was released so quickly that it never had a chance to be included in a previous contest.  The same also goes for Piano no Mori (and I would <3 to see banners for that one!). 

Summary: Tokyo Marble Chocolate & Piano no Mori = OK!

ROFL

Oh yeah, almost forgot: Since there were so many good banners, we put an additional 6 banners that got high votes on the website, so even if you didn't win, keep an eye out for yours... it might just be there  :)

And on a side note, though there are no prizes involved, if anyone wants to make a banner for Katri, please feel free... We need one.
Title: Re: 3rd Annual L-E Banner CONTEST!!
Post by: petran on January 13, 2009, 03:46:31 pm
If there is no prize involved then I I'll add a banner too. This series is so underrepresented that even banners  are beyond contest. Even the time it was broadcasted it was never popular. But music, animation and background quality are of the best.

Looks nice but can you fix the aspect ratio?
Title: Re: 3rd Annual L-E Banner CONTEST!!
Post by: petran on January 15, 2009, 01:20:56 am
I had to find the fitting background so I cut another segment without altering the ratio. It should be OK now


 http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y105/petran79/KATRIBANNER2.jpg

if by ratio  you meant the size (the first appeared at a resolution 500x130) here is the link with the full resolution. I thought the IMG code would make the image appear at 100%

Post by: petran on January 15, 2009, 01:29:08 am
 you mean you found  a banner for Katri?

The banner here is beyond contest anyway
Title: Re: 3rd Annual L-E Banner CONTEST!!
Post by: emsko on January 15, 2009, 02:39:50 am
Yeah, just ignore Mamo.

I like these a lot, I think the forest background is a bit nicer.

I don't know if it's what Tofu means or not, but I find the image of Katri and Aapeli look a bit strectched horizontally, though that may not actually be the case.
Title: Re: 3rd Annual L-E Banner CONTEST!!
Post by: petran on January 15, 2009, 03:12:11 pm
The figure of Katri was from one of the Bandai DVD covers  I found in Amazon Japan and I pasted it unaltered. But the background there had  different  perpective and  the image had 1:1 aspect ratio so it was not for panoramic view.

I think Mamo is going senile, so yeah, just don't pay attention to him.  :)
Title: Re: 3rd Annual L-E Banner CONTEST!!
Post by: tlynnec on January 19, 2009, 06:34:12 am
petran, i like the katri banners a lot, thanks!  Katri looks a bit... squished though.  Anyway you could fix that?
Title: Re: 3rd Annual L-E Banner CONTEST!!
Post by: petran on January 20, 2009, 10:52:11 pm
OK. I hope it looks better now. I prefer this picture since the background here remained intact while in the first it had to be distorted.

Thanks for the manga's L-E staff, now I only need to learn Japanese to read them.
