I have two artisan blue ones so far- they're basically the same, but with different fonts.

Ooh, this contest is funfunfun. I've discovered tons of new functions on Photoshop now. So I've made some banners - two for Xanth's Temple (I was in a purple mood) and one for White Magic:

Xanth's Temple One - (had to be done; the xanth bumblebee was awesome. Credit to the bumblebee image goes to http://www.hypnosis-...s/bumblebee.jpg)
Xanth's Temple Two - (Erm, I'm in a lavender colour mood, to be precise. Credit to the lavender image to http://www.familytre...gs/lavender.jpg )

(White Magic taken down because I was an idiot and didn't look into the image liscencing; apparently one of the images needs permission to use. Plus I'm doubly dense and can't find the source of the other image, hah.)

I thought I'd put my contribution in, but this will be it for me. Have fun banner-izing EF!

Yay Xanth. Here's one for Xanth's Temple:

In the first banner, the image is a picture of a poppy flower I took for a school project a while back.

Second banner is deleted even though I am so proud of it because I was an idiot and forgot to scroll all the way down for the snow leopard image, where it told me I wasn't allowed to use it out of a desktop background.

Wow i must be bored. I even went ahead and bought a program for this 0.o

Anyway, the first one would be for the Xanth skin, the second... i dont know. Im ver fond of the second, but i havnt given it a border because im unsure what skin it would fit. Id suggest black, if the colors within the black skin were changed. Anyway, yea, here they are. (going to work on blue and white next)

Xanth Skin, Black Skin?

images here and in the post below were from photobucket, no links, sorry =/

Woot! Thanks for all the entries so far. This contest will end on the FIFTEENTH of February.
Voting starts on the 15th and ends on the 20th.

Edit: I've noticed that a few banners don't have the 1 pixel border in the requirements. If you made one of those banners, please edit it. ALSO, please credit the images that you used (thanks, Lydia). If the picture you used has been copyrighted, please check if the artist gave permission to use the image.

[Kiril]

As I've said before, a few of the banners lack that 1 pixel border that was stated in the requirements. If you made one of the banners, please edit it.
Also, please give credit to the images used.
Thanks and start voting!
