GC Halloween Banner Challenge

GnuTux · **Posted:** Sat Oct 12, 2013 11:30 am **(#1)**

I was thinking (which is dangerous, I know) that it would be cool to have a few Halloween themed banners for the upcoming holiday. The requirements are the same as usual, 930x200 pixels with a divider that blends with the existing divider. I'll attach an xcf that can be used as a template so you can preview the final image.

This is not a contest. All submissions will be placed in rotation. Please post the xcf, if possible ...Thanks!

I'll get the ball rolling.

Plenty of images available from fonts and I've just updated font-to-Image-hose to make use of them

The banner is a collage. I got the Devilish Wilber devil from here. Chris has some other cool Wilber images there too. He's a member here so maybe he will agree to create a Halloween banner for us too. :hehe

There is an old thread GC Halloween Kit thread here. Graechan, your script would be perfect there.

Needed a challenge at the moment to get some inspiration going, so decided to have a go. The image was initially inspired by the "Most Haunted" TV show, plus a few bits chucked in that I have designed previously.

he4rty: wow, i love yours! it's spooky and classy at the same time

mike and ecirbaf: nice banners, both of you! i think a simple text banner will be very nice and restful, a bit of a change. and i like the text very much in yours too, ecirbaf (though i can't help wishing there was no spider in it).

All the banners are looking great! :hi5

Here's another that's kind of a WIP.

Those are great Tux. I love the zombie penguin. :hehe

I think i will put something together also.

I got the zombie Tux from here via startpage image search. The rest of the banner, including zombie Wilber, is my own design.

There is another cool zombie Tux over at crysalxp.net Tux Factory, which is the definitive site for custom tux images. There are so many there, I can't imagine how many working hours it must have took to create all of those.

O, I love your pumpkin. I can't decide if it looks more like glass or metal...I love shiny!
