c/splatoon Banner Proposal

c/splatoon Banner Proposal

I finally had time to draft a banner for c/splatoon. The inklings talking through paper cups is the representation of federation.

Feedback welcomed! For modifications, I won't be posting every time I make some changes. Instead, you can watch them on GitHub Gist:

  • Oh, I love the idea/aesthetic! Very cute and bright haha! Appreciate the effort ya put into it!

    I wanna suggest some changes I think might be nice to incorporate before adding it right away, but will try and put some work into it and send them in a bit.

    Either way, cool stuff! :D

    • @carp4lemmy please do suggest!

      • Sorry if this is a little bit too much, just figured it'd be nice to have a little more for ya since I was already making suggestions, but I think the banner's lovely in its own right, too!

        Some explanation(s):

        • All the hashing is just some subtle shading, pretty much
        • All the red is some edits going top-down, left to right:
          • Make the clouds more definitive and in 3's to make them seem a little more natural
            • With some mild shading that follows the "height" subtly of the top of the cloud
          • Make the c/splatoon part more wavy in the water and leaning only slightly towards "splatoon", in the air
            • Or just putting it all in the air after moving the characters a little, too, potentially
          • Make the boat in the background a little more transparent and maybe move it around some after editing the text
          • Push the shoreline downward so it takes up a little less real estate and looks flatter to appear more like it continues outside of the frame
            • Also makes the eye more drawn towards the art and adds some flow to the pic too
          • Move the left character to the right to fit a little more text; and potentially move the island right, too, so that it feels like it's cut off to the right
          • Squeezing the left character's arm in a little since it seems a little too oval-y, to me
          • And maybe changing the receiving end to a squid/octopus so it feels a little more blobby/shapey and pointed (and fun way to show a mechanic? haha)

        Either way, I think it's super cool what you've done so far and I'm mighty looking forward to what you can do in the future, too! :D

        Edit: forgot to mention also making the waves come out from the shore lines a little more (in sets of odd numbers for that made-in-nature aesthetic!), with some foam/reflective, white coloring to them, too, potentially. 👍

  • Friggen cute, I love it! The cups with string for communication are such a clever idea

  • @NorthWestWind @[email protected] forgot to take a look at it, it's great!
