Design GT's Entrance Image
 

I thought we could have a little contest where people would design a new GameTavern entrance image, and then everyone would vote on the best one, which would be posted on the mainsite. Does anyone have any entrance images they would like to suggest?

A bar scene with some well known videogame characters, perhaps one from each of the three companies.

Oooh... oooh... count me in on this one.

Re: Re: Design GT's Entrance Image
 

That would be cool... if someone would want to try to design that it would be even better.

Re: Re: Re: Design GT's Entrance Image
 

I'll see what I can do, and expect some good stuff from Dyne, Random, and Crono Link also.

I'll try something tonight.

Re: Design GT's Entrance Image
 

Ah, the current one is real.. uh.. dumb. I could give it a shot I suppose.

Re: Re: Design GT's Entrance Image
 

If indeed I'm not lazy tonight (which is a big IF) I may try something.

This is what I've come up with. It is very "beta" and therefor subject to change or even "deletion"

Looks good, but the guy from Halo looks a bit outta place.

Re: Design GT's Entrance Image
 

He always does ¦¬Þ

Re: Re: Design GT's Entrance Image
 

That looks great Rndm.

yes, its great but he does look out of place. It would be great if all the charachters were the same art style. But I dont expect anybody to draw them up.

Re: Design GT's Entrance Image
 

I didn't put any videogame characters in.

You'd probably want to make it a smaller size than that GameMaster.. but otherwise it's good. Also, making it white-friendly to accent the white around it could be neat, which is what I did with mine.

Here's mine.



I've also got the original. I really just guessed on the coat of arms colour but it looks like I hit it pretty good. If you want it done a different way, different logo font, different saying font, different whatever, I'm flexible.

Check it out against white!

Re: Design GT's Entrance Image
 

I love the altered Cheers slogan :D

Re: Design GT's Entrance Image
 

Right, they would look better if they all had the same art style. It'd make for better ... aah... "synergy". But, the thing is... these characters are all made from different companies and therefor have obvious unique styles. However, I assumed that was the goal of an idea like GameMaster's. That is, to get the diversity of the three consoles (and good ol' Sega as a bartender) into the same setting.


As I said, the design is easily changeable and not complete. Things to be added are wine-racks, kegs, so forth... to make it look more like a tavern. If at all possible, however, the character images can be changed to those that would look alike.

Until similar pictures are found, I can either leave it as is, or give my hand at trying to "blend them" somehow, with what I've got.

I whipped this up in about 20 minutes. Am open to suggestions. I was gonna put more up to date games on there, but I decided just to use what I had on hand.

For sure I'll make it fade to white around the edges to help it fit in better. Also, you guys think it's too colorful?

I was also thinking about making the text in the background animated, making it fly by. And if I really wanted to, I could have the games in motion in hte background and have them fade out with other games. But htat would probably get a little big. Meh, I'll do it anyway. It'll give me something to do.

Re: Design GT's Entrance Image
 

Yoda, that's awesome! I love all the color and blend in of various game screens in the background is great! The font and slogan are good too.

Re: Re: Design GT's Entrance Image
 

Thanks!

~Meanwhile~


I've decided to make the Master Chief "blend in". So, I decided to pull out my secret weapon! Bwuahahah.

Re: Design GT's Entrance Image
 

Everything is really looking great guys. If you could please sumbit your final images by the end of Sunday we'll have a vote on which one to use. Thanks.

Does it matter what format it's in? I wanna make it a movie, but I would need to put it in .swf (macormedia flash 6) to make it small enough.

rndm - that looks a lot better with Master chief "cartoonized"

Re: Design GT's Entrance Image
 

Well, I don't really know how to implement flash into websites, so I would prefer it be in a jpg or bmp. I suppose we could fine someone who knows how though.

Gotcha

Re: Design GT's Entrance Image
 

I've altered the text slightly and used Dyne's trademark border to give it the neat, clean package look.

Well, lets see. You could have a load of smiley games characters together. That would rule!

Well, I got a little busy on this. I wanted to make the movies in the background play as well, but i figured that the file size would be way too big, so I didn't do it. Maybe I'll do it later for kicks.

I also wish that movies weren't so big, lol. Cuz this looks pretty crappy compared to the original.....

Eh, enjoy....

EDIT: Hod Hamnit!! Probably tripod. Try this:

EDIT 2: ok....that one didn't work either. Must suck that bad....

Im not sure about everyone else, but this link doesnt seem to work for me, it tells me that the file is not available for download.

Re: Design GT's Entrance Image
 

copy and paste the link into your browser...

Re: Re: Design GT's Entrance Image
 

It's unavailble for viewing, if you PM it to me, I'll host it, or send it to me in MSN or via e-mail.

That's what i thought I was doing, but here, give it one more try. It's not that important that you see it:

Yeah, still not working, you've probably used up your bandwidth for the day or something? :confused:

Re: Re: Design GT's Entrance Image
 

Lol, I just made the account like 30 minutes ago.

I give up, lol.

The link to the mpeg worked for me.
