Hey everybody, many of you have noticed the new "Rising Sun" skin for AiB, and I decided I will create more skins for the site, but I need YOUR help this time around. I usually only make what the community asks for, not what the staff wants. It would be appreciated if you give any feedback on what needs to be edited in my work-in-progress skins (Volcanic, Toxic, etc.). Here are the overviews of what the skins will look like and these pictures will be used to determine what should be edited:







Moving onwards, I would like to announce AiB's New Skins Banner Contest! The test banner I made for the Green skin will be excluded from being used after the contest, but my Volcano skin banner will be staying there. What's needed for these skins are 2 banners for the Volcanic skin, and 3 banners for the Toxic skin. Up to 2 entries may be allowed for each skin from each participant, by PMing me your entry with a generic subject like "AiB New Skins Banner Contest".
Specifics:

1. Banner must be 964x175 pixels.
2. The banner should have a color scheme that compliments/fits with the skin it is for.
3. The banner does not have to be completely Smash related(doesn't have to have the Smash Symbol everywhere/all Melee/Brawl renders etc)
4. Preferably the logo should be displayed near the middle of the banner in a decent size. You may use this logo or create your own: http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg270/GoddessMartel/AllIsBrawl_Logo.jpg or http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/1184/allisbrawlsmal.png.

Rules:
1. Each entrant may submit up to two entries(per skin). Once a banner is submitted, it cannot be changed.
2. The banner MUST be new work. I'd like to see what the Art District can do.
3. Entrants will be penalized accordingly for plagiarism, faked votes, and other inappropriate conduct.
4. The process in which the winner is decided will depend on how many entries we receive. It will most likely involve public voting as well as admin panel selection.
5. The admin panel reserves the right to rule that the banners will not be changed for this banner contest if the quality of the banners are not up to our standards.

The deadline for entries is [b]November 10th[/b]. That's 2 weeks from now, leaving you more than enough time to make a banner. Badges will be awarded to the people who participate, and of course, those who's banners are selected for each skin.

This next part is something I wanted to ask the community about, but has nothing to do with this contest particularly. If you need to look at some of these skins to get ideas for your the contest banners, then feel free to. I’m making lots of skins, but I don’t know what the community really wants because of my lack of internet access. However, you can still help me out in making these skins without entering the banner contest! Simply tell me which of the following skins you like, this will give me an idea as to what kind of skins the AiB community would like to see added, if I should work on new skins, or if I should finish skins I'm already currently working on.
