Banner by Nefarious

Welcome everyone to the 6th Banner of the Week Competition, I'll be taking this over from Nef.

Overview

For those who have never participated in this contest, here's what it's all about.

As you can see by the title, this contest will take place weekly, unless the activity of the forum forces me to change that. So contestants will have 7 days to enter. After entries are no longer accepted, a voting poll will open in which members can vote for their favorite banner. Voting will also last for 7 days. The winner of the contest will have their banner displayed in the Banner of the Week Competition Museum.

Banner makers will be given guidelines to follow in making the banner. This includes height and width of the banner as well as theme. The theme of the banner will be determined by myself. But any theme suggestions should be PM'd to me if you feel that it would be a good enough theme for the contest. There is no gaurantee that I will use your theme idea, and by sending me the theme, you give me the right to change it to my liking.

Discussion on this contest should go in this thread:
Banner of the Week Discussion

Rules and Guidelines

This weeks rules include the following:

Anyone Can Enter!
Theme: Abstract
Width: 500
Height: 120
Theme Description: This week I want to see how abstract you can get without using a stock. :o
Stock: Not allowed


Other Rules
Please follow the theme as best you can. Anything that does not follow the theme or the dimensions specified will not be permitted to be entered into the voting portion of the contest. Anything below the dimensions specified will be accepted but anything above will not.

Anything obscene such as pornographic images, hentai, or anything that violates the rules of this forum will not be permitted. People who enter such material will be reported to the authorites of the forum and will be dealt with accordingly.

This contest is not Pokemon Related, therefore you do not have to have something pokemon related in your banners unless it is required in the theme.

The Maximum amount of entries is 20. After that amount has been reached, no more entries will be accepted. This week, two entries are allowed per person.

Entries Due

This weeks entries are due next Saturday, March 4th. This may change over time so check back here for any changes in the due date. Voting will also start Next Sunday and will end Saturday, March 11th.

Everyone try your best and don't hold back because of your current art program. Not everyone needs photoshop to be a good artist, and everyone's entries will be accepted no matter what progam they are using. Have fun! And now let the contest begin!

Wow, big dimensions. And I just adjusted to the small stuff too. =P lol. Good thing we can go under the size though. I'll get started asap. Abstract should be a piece of cake.

I expected you having no trouble at all being abstract.

This whole allow-an-old-banner thing is making AC cream us all.


I'll abstain in this challenge, lest I enter something that looks like NP's ;P

I don't enter old ones because stuff I made 4 days ago is better than my new stuff, because it isn't. I enter old ones because I don't have time to make a brand new one for a competition every week. They take a long time, and I don't have a shitload of time to devote.

Quick question:

What exactly is "stock"?

Quick question:

What exactly is "stock"?
This should probably go in the discussion thread, but they are outside images on a banner. I'm not really sure if images you make yourself are considered stock, like Neo's Pikachus in his rotator. For example, a picture of any pokemon you can get off of google is considered stock. Basically, if you can't use stock, don't get any images from anywhere and paste them onto your banner.

A stock is any kind of painting, photograph, graphic, etc... that you use in your own work. There are commercial stocks which they allow you to use for a business or industry, and these are generally royalty free. There are noncommercial stocks that cannot be used for a business, and these are sometimes royalty free but mainly must be creditted.

Meh, some of you guys are using hand drawn pics hate to say it but that's stock also. =/

I'll let it pass this time, but if I see it happen again in a no stock contest you will have to change your entry.

I didn't like the color on the other one too much, so I came up with this:
