Graphic contest-Strendur`s Army banner

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hello community!I m writing here because this is somehow related to Broken Lands and i think it can be the right place but please, moderators, tell me if i` m wrong and move it where it belongs. My brother and I have recently founded an alliance, based in the Broken Lands, but none of us is able to work on graphic stuff; i had the idea of a small contest, with a prize payed by me, for the best representing `banner` for our alliance, the `Strendur`s Army`  ( https://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/#/Alliance/Alliance/1668)

There are a few lines to follow

1. The picture must contain a mountains chain terrain (Strendur-like); can be a real photo (modified or not) or entirely hand- made
2. The peaks must have snow but not too much
3. The picture must not be in the daylight; i want it rather `dark` and obscure-looking.
4. A castle may be somewhere on the mountains but must be with `no race look`, or better, not looking like if it belongs to a single of the races in game. 
5. The name of the alliance must appear somewhere, but must not take over the image itself. Oh, the fonts must be attractive but not TOO much elaborated-something like the reddish one we actually have in the head of the page;
6. It must not contain the name of the designer, i will write his^her name in the alliance page to give credits.

A good example of size and originality required:

Prizes: 
30 millions of gold for the best image,
15 millions for the secondary choice, that may still be alternated in the page with the 1st classified. 
Both the Prizes may be won by the same designer. The time limit is the end of the month, the 1st of september.
Answer to this thread to subscribe at the contest  you can send me the pic in game as a private message.

I hope my English is comprehensible to everybody, if there is something not clear or not well written write to me and i ll answer/edit  as soon as possible  

p.s. i ll keep this first page up to date adding designers and number of pictures sent.

We have chosen a winner but not the second place yet; we are truly in doubt about it, and will declare it later on, as soon as we solve the doubt!. About the first place, the winner is Lord Stanley ! Congrats!!
