Brother Tyler Posted September 28, 2024 Share Posted September 28, 2024 (edited) You can find full guidance on submitting a banner for the Banner of the Month challenge, as well as a record of past winners, here. All submissions should be uploaded to the Site Banner Submissions album in the Gallery. If there is any special guidance for any month, it will be provided in a topic for that month. If you have any questions or comments about the challenge, please post them in this discussion. We will answer them here and incorporate them into the guidance.

ThePenitentOne Posted September 28, 2024 Share Posted September 28, 2024 Regarding the permissions: if imagery in the banner is created by photographing our own fully-painted models or dioramas and filtering them in photoshop, would that be acceptable?

Rusted Boltgun Posted September 28, 2024 Share Posted September 28, 2024 What a great idea. I'd been toying with the idea of a banner / background image for my profile and maybe using it for a blog in the B&C. It is outside 'my wheelhouse' to use current parlance but I might be able to cobble something together with some time and access to my laptop.

Brother Tyler Posted October 28, 2024 Author Share Posted October 28, 2024 Just reminding everyone that November is fast approaching, just in case anyone wants to submit a banner.

Magos Takatus Posted October 30, 2024 Share Posted October 30, 2024 (edited) I've got a clarification I'd like to make, mainly for myself but it might help other users. A while back I made a photoshoot of my Imperial Knights walking through some GW ruin terrain against a printed backdrop. The backdrop was A.I. generated but it doesn't appear egregiously so. Would that be acceptable or would the background need to be repainted in order to be considered for qualification? I'll post an example photo for your consideration. I suppose in future I could try airbrushing backdrops and finishing the details with my miniature brushes but my first backdrop was printed, sent to me as a poster and then I mounted it to a board. I'm just asking this really because it's not a blatantly obvious A.I. generated image but I would feel uncomfortable trying to "cheat" because my backdrop wasn't personally painted by me if that wasn't acceptable. Hopefully this might help a few other people as well but I expect I'm a bit of an outlier here.

Magos Takatus Posted October 30, 2024 Share Posted October 30, 2024 Thank you for the clarification. I don't think I will be able to start work on anything until most of the way through January but it's something I can think about if this is an ongoing project.
