I'm actually not looking for a location for this one. I'm more looking at a "cinematic" banner, like these.

I'll try and get to this one tonight, never done one of these. Then, I'll try and see if I can adequately do the request below. Do you like that font?
Thanks for trying to do mine, too. ;)

The Godzilla font is a bit of a staple we use for the KWC, so it's very much suggested to use that. Red, stroke (black outline), and drop shadow are your best friends. :)

You guys have some crazy requests in here lol. If I can find good pngs, it should be doable. I’m using Photoshop CS2 still so I don’t have that auto delete background feature. Perhaps I’ll try the ole pen tool but it seems like that would take forever :lol: anyways, I’ll update later tonight.

Are you looking for a specific Ultraman?

Also, is there some page detailing the guidelines and things? Like what size banners are to be? I suppose I could just look at them on the main site. Sorry for the billion replies.

No, I'm just talking about Ultraman himself. If I wanted to specify, I would've said Seven or Taro. :P

The banners we use on the site all use a 1024x512 format. Just keep that in mind.

Use toy figures for Rayquaza. We can’t use the anime images for him in banners.

This looks pretty good as it's own thing! If you're aiming for some of your banners to be seen on the site though, I'm not sure if this would qualify.

Lol I did what you said! Or do you just want closeups with literally like a red background or something? I could probably reproduce what you posted, but I wasn't really feeling them. Anyways, almost done with the next one.

Here's yours in progress. If you like where this is going, I'll finish it. Text and crystal in the Empire State are kind of a work in progress, but I don't want to finish if you don't like it. Anyways, gotta get going to bed. Feel free to let me know what you dislike about it. Personally I'd like to fix some things and am unsure of the glow on Ghidorah. If you do like where it's going, I'll add more crystals, destroy the city a bit more, and try and fix some of the scaling and perspective. It was going so well before I realized I only had about half the kaiju in it :lol: Ended up covering up my destruction work, have to figure this out.

If that is the case, I will have to replace it in the image. I can use sprites for that right?

Nope.

Also, just so you know, you don't need to put "(Super Form)" in the title of the match. That's just instructions for the banner maker, so they know which character to include in the image. You can just leave it as "Godzilla (Heisei)."

Oh I'm not saying it looks BAD. It's just that I thought you were saying that you wanted some of your banners to be seen on the site itself, (or am I wrong about that, I might be wrong just tell me lol) but this wouldn't really reach the standard that the K.W.C runners have, I don't think. Exactly what the standard is, is, well, more up to them.

Am I making myself sound like too much of a dick?

No, I basically agree with you, its nothing special and took like 10 minutes in photoshop. However, that was how I interpreted your request. And given the examples you provided, I'm not really sure what else you wanted? If you really want just a carbon copy of the banner(s) you provided, would that be accepted? I really don't care if they are used on the site or not, I was just trying to help and was bored lol. If someone wants to use them, great. If not, that's fine too. I've never even read KWC, though I did go on to see some of the banners. Some of them are really cool.

Anyways, Hulk, if you want me to finish your banner and replace BG with SG, let me know. That one took a bit longer than 10 minutes but was kind of fun.

I think I'm going to completely re-do your banner Hulk. I really don't like it at all the more I look at it. I'll probably upload it Sunday.

It looks pretty darn cool, and I apologize for not explaining what Super Form is, it's Super Godzilla from the Super Nintendo Godzilla game "Super Godzilla" (I'll get an actual image when I get home.)

Five Gyaos' and five Skullcrawlers. Have Gamera and Kong side by side surrounded by them, some of them coming at them, others fighting each other.

King Ghidorah and Rodan should both have the (Legendary) subtitle separately. We don't combine it for banners.

Like MoarCrossovers said, Ghidorah and Rodan should be "King Ghidorah (Legendary)" and "Rodan (Legendary)" respectively since they are separate monsters. It separates them from the other incarnations we have in the roster, hence the need for it. Though monsters that don't have multiple incarnations don't need it. Last little bit is that we generally use "&" instead of "and" to better give more space for banner titles.

But thank you kindly! I will say though, you're stuff looks sharp as well! :D
