Tossed together a page to see what we are working with.

Currently this is the design i have in mind.

Contest Design Help

I'm not terribly fond of the drake on the right hand side. ya it pops out and is all fancy. Do you have something that you think would be more fitting for the server?

How about the background? Ya its a forest, but have you stumbled across a breathtaking display in game that you feel is perfect?

Image sizes:

Small images like buttons i'd like to be roughly 200px by 200px.

Popouts like the wolf:
Need to be about 400px by 400px at least, Transparent background (gif / psd) format. And just the character. I loathe photoshop and editing 1 pixel at a time is tedious and annoying.

Background:

If you are gonna submit a background keep in mind the goal of the page is to be 1280px wide. (standard display on a 17inch monitor) So a picture that is at a minium of 1280px by 1024 px is required.

I won't kid you at all, i'm not nor will i ever be a graphic designer. I can put things together and make them work nicely but i hate working with images. The fact that i managed to come up with images on that page is a small miracle in itself.

That being said take a look, give me some feedback & submit your entries. We'll take the best of the best and depending on the quality of the work lillu said he will be rewarding the winners for their time and effort.
