Ooo, it looks amazing, Nurr! :-D lol, wow they do look so young! Young and innocent... it's amazing to see them now in PC. :teehee: anyway, remember you can do two entries if you so choose. ;)

btw, how did you put the lines in the graphic? I've seen several people do it but I haven't been able to figure it out. :confused:

It's one of the patterns that comes wtih GIMP. Well, slightly modified, in my case. But I just put it in as a new layer on overlay and tada! Yeah.

It is so funny to see them all grown up now. I feel so old, except I'm pretty much the same age as them at the same times. Tis so odd. :teehee:

Okay...I have my first entry. With Nurr as my witness, I started this before she posted hers, and the fact that they look similar is entirely coincidental. I suppose that kind of thing just sort of happens when you're using the same screencap sites for a scene-based contest, and the featured scene has very few lines. There's only so many ways that you can combine material. The effects are different enough, anyway, so it's not like they're the exact same banner.

I, being of sound mind and body, do hereby swear the potr did begin her entry before I posted mine and that all references to entries beforehand are entirely coincidental. :P

Nurr, Ahh, ok, you're lucky to have it then. ;) it looks really great! :yes:

it is... and I suppose I'm rather the same age as a few of them too. :blink: I am almost exacly the same age as Skandar... I actually think he's about a month older than me, but still. ;) Skandar and Georgie seem to be growing so fast! :blink:

PotR, lol, it doesn't matter... I believe you both. And actually I was looking through screencaps of that scene and different shots are going to be hard to come by anyway. ;) so you are perfectly right. There's only so much you can do with different scenes. :P

Ok, I'll go put you down, Raven!

The text is from the song "Forgiven" by Within Temptation and it seemed to fit! :)

You're welcome, Ellie. ;) I thought it turned out quite nice.... :yes: although playing with text can be one of the most tedious parts of graphic making.

lol, I know, Raith... all I'll say is I'm happy I don't have to vote on it. ;) anyway, your entry is awesome too!

and here is mine (since everyone says it's ok that I submit an entry in my own contest... :blush:):

I still need to make my entry, not that it will even matter compared to all these awesome entries.
