[Request] Website Banner

[Heftydogg]

Hello! Everytime I come to this forum my jaw drops over how awesome the artwork is, truly impressive guys!

I'm requesting a forum banner for this website: Horde of the Summoned - Index page
As you could see, it could use the touch of an artist...

What I'm looking for is something that matches the background color of the website, whether it's a rectangle-banner with the same back color, or w/ some translucent edging to fit it in nice, up to you =)
Only text that I want is "Horde of the Summoned"
Overall theme should be very dark, gothic, almost cult like. HotS is the evil faction in the game Wurm Online, and their god is Libila, a female dark angel/valkyrie/angel of death type being. I would LOVE to have a render fitting that description implemented into the banner. Other possible background images could be zombies, skulls, blood, corpses, a scythe, you get the idea.

BIG + if there can be a subtle, yet noticable flash animation in the banner somewhere. Maybe the angel can have a slow-pulsing glow, or some billowing black smoke in the background?



These are all just suggestions.(besides the text & color) Interpret it with your own artistic style!

Thank you very much, I can't wait! +6rep to all submissions!

Tell me if you want anything changing.

It's pretty bland, and a bit small. The length looks about right, but height is pretty short. I'd prefer a larger, more gothic font for the text as well. This is the first thing most people will see when joining/visiting the HotS forums, and I'd like an eye-catching banner that people will pause and look at for a few seconds at least. You could refer to the OP for some ideas on spicing it up a bit .

Nonetheless, you did meet the basic requirements, and I do appreciate the effort! +Rep (after i spread)

You didn't really give us a size to work with, so i just went with a random 700x160 banner-ish size.

Let me know what you think.
