2023 Q3 Banner Submission Themes

[Arano]

For inspiration, see our banner design archive.

There is no competition, so all banners submitted will be used in random rotation as per the current ones in their designated month. You can create as many banners as you like and if you want to make a banner for all 3 rounds you are of course free to do so

Design instructions and how to submit your banners are below the theme details.

July Theme: Series swap! Deadline end of June
Option 1: What would the Ginga characters look like in the style of the Lion King? Bluey? Choose a series you love and draw/recolour the characters to turn them into characters from the Ginga series.
Option 2: The reverse: take characters from other series and Ginga-fy them! Using the same example as above eg what would Simba or Bluey look like as a Ginga character?

August Theme: GDW: Orion Ninja clan characters
Create banners featuring any characters from the ninja clans. Leaders are listed for reference:
Kurohabaki Clan (Leader: Masamune), Sanada Clan (Leader: Unsai), Nokizaru Clan (Leader: Kenshin)

September: Open character theme
A completely open character theme, I don't think we've done that for a while! You can use exclusively Ginga characters or your Ginga OCs, or both!

Banner Creation info/rules:

Design your banner(s) at 1,800px wide by 394px tall at 72dpi.

• If you have photoshop/GIMP, you can download a template here. Updated with old and new logos 2021
• If you use any other program, here are the Ginga Board Logo downloads: Original Logo + New Blue Logo
• The logo does not have to be centered horizontally, it can go anywhere in the space as long as the size stays the same. You are allowed to alter the colour.
• There will be a credit box added with your name to either end of the banner where space allows (as the current banners show). Please be mindful of this and make sure you leave space at one end.
• You can use images from the Free Image Gallery/scans of your own or draw the characters yourself. If you draw it yourself, you may include your artist signature in the corner, but otherwise please design the banner free of any text.

How to submit your banner design:

Submit your banner design by uploading it to a hosting site like imgur and posting it in a reply in this topic.
Please save your file as a high res JPEG or a PNG.

Sorry for forgetting to post new themes on time! Balancing work and also packing to move so I'm even less on the ball than usual

July Theme: Ginga characters in a different series Deadline end of June
For a bit of fun - series swap! What would the Ginga characters look like in the style of the Lion King? Bluey? Choose a series you love and draw/recolour the characters to turn them into characters from the Ginga series.

Does this theme also include general crossover stuff? Like characters from other series visiting the Gingaverse and vice versa?

This episode of Bluey is called: Ginga Board

For some reason posting it on here makes it look smaller than it is, so below is a link to the proper size! Credit goes to the official art as I traced over Bluey and Bandit and used it as a base!

I had an emergency yesterday before going on holiday so banners will be updated VERY LATE on Monday when I'm back, sorry guys.

Please consider July's banners closed and August's theme is live!

July's banners are uploaded! I did a last minute banner because it was as if Takahashi read the theme...
