That is an awesome banner, SerenityMoon!

Unfortunately, mol won't be able to use it. Amy Brown's copyright policy strictly prohibits any alterations of her art. Below is her website and a brief paragraph explanation.


http://www.amybrownart.com

Absolutely no stationary, signatures, banners, web sets, psp tubes, skins, or any of the other hundreds of ways the art might be used. It may only be displayed just like it is now shown in the galleries - in its complete and unedited form.

This was a huge issue in the last header submissions. At least you still have time to whip up another!

*anime fall* BLARG.

XD; oops. I've never participated in this before, and I got the picture from a different website, so I had no idea.

Okay, submission deleted. x_X;; Gotta see if I can whip up another.

My entry! Image is from http://www.blueribbonstencils.com/ , I am writing them to ask permission...

EDIT: YAY! Permission granted!

I don't mind if you use the image, providing credit is given if
someone asks where it came from. It cannot be reproduced and sold in
any other form, however.

Thanks for asking!

okay, let's try this again. ^_^ The website at which I got this image said it was perfectly fine so long as you posted the copyright sentence.

:thumbsup: And still gorgeous too. :D

[Lilith79]

SerenityMoon-not to be a pain in the arse, but there is a problem with that still. In order to fufill the artists requirements, you would need to include her copyright on the banner itself. I don't think that would work out very well.
http://www.selinafenech.com/imageusage.html
No matter if it is altered, the copyright of the artworks remains with Selina Fenech as per Australian and International Copyright Law. Please put the credit line text "© Selina Fenech 2005" anywhere the artwork appears. I also prefer to have a link back to my website on all web use of my work.

I didn't see it that way. o.O I took that to mean anyWHERE the artwork appears. It doesn't say ON the artwork. It says where it appears. It's appearing here. Therefore, I put the copyright sentence there.

I really don't think that's what it means.

"ONLY remove the copyrigh banner if you replace it on your graphic yourself, OR put the credit text line (as described below) also with the graphic whenever you use it."

WITH the graphic. See, I think it means put it in the location where the graphic is posted/used.

[SkySilver]

Hey, SerenityMoon, why don't you try to email the artist for permission. Her permission would override what it says on the website... :whatgives:

Ooo, lovely! AND it has a faerie!

(I agree in the thought that a simple line of text at the bottom of the page would satisfy the copyright agreement.)

[Mithrea]

I just want to get one in . . . lol

[Flaire-FireStar]

Holly leaves from gettyimages.com.
Background pattern from sibelle_art@icon_extras on livejournal.

Phew! That has to be the longest I've ever put into a banner. :lol:

[Brenda]

This will be a difficult choice :foh:

[MerrisHawk]

So many really nice headers in such a short time! Bet mol could do this every time like a pop quiz and get great results!
I've found some great stock photos at this site, most don't require anything more than a contact to let them know what you did with their photo.

After making six of these I had the daughter choose her favorite, so it's purple. :)

*all images used are royalty free stock and my own work*

[enchancea]

Wow great job everyone, theres so many nice ones. Its going to be hard to choose.

[Storm Moon]

Scratch my former submission. I got the links wrong >< Here's my new one:

[bbnflpn]

[bbnflpn]

*edit*

[Jackiedanielz]

[Storm Moon]

[Catiana]

I just saw this thread, I'll have mine up tonight when I get home.

[Geministar]

Heres my entry, it might be to late for it, but I thought I'd give ir a shot!

[Catiana]

Here is mine.


Edit: I corrected the links.

EDITED AGAIN: To switch to my winter banner, I originally thought this was just for the holidays, but I wanter my winter one submitted. Thanks

[Linx]

Here is a quick one from me, Just a seasonal one to work for winter :)

[instinct]

aww. I get back just in time to see my header go bye bye

eh well..

*waves little SkySilver flag* :hehehehe:

[Mithrea]

Where is the vote!? :D

[XanderAmon]

Where is the vote!? :D

Jeez man; it's only been the 8th for a coupla hours (leastways by my watch)... Give mol a break! :lol:

[Faeawyn]

Here is mine.
Ooo...I like that :)

[LyraDragonStar]

Lol. *keeps checking back for the poll to pop up* :smile:

[Catiana]

Now that I've actually read Mol's first post instead rushing to get mine up, I see I have the wrong links. I'll get that changed. Also, just a quick question, is this just for Yule, or will it be the winter banner, I have another one I would rather submit if its for winter and not just yule.

[SkySilver]

*waves little SkySilver flag* :hehehehe:

Does this mean the great instinct likes my header?... :D I just found out that I could draw! :steppy:
