Thankyou everyone who took part in this, registering and voting. Hopefully the banner will be finished sometime before the end of this year. The artist I am commissioning for the banner is none other than MizaelTengu from deviantart.

Hopefully in another year or two, I may be able to hold this sort of thing again, and we can celebrate yet again the characters on this site together!

work has officially started on the banner. Indeed, it is mizael tengu himself who is working on this project.

I'm the guy in the list called Sakon-shima (the icon of the guy's face with the triangle tattoos)

Alright, I'm sorry, but I feel like I have to say this.

I don't agree with you commissioning the banner. At all.

I like the work of Mizael Tengu, and agree that in all technical aspects, it is better than most of the artistic talent on this site. But that's not what matters.

When I brought up the idea of a new set of banners, I did it because I love this site. I love this site, and everything that I have gained from it the past year and a half that I have been a user on it. The banners were never supposed to be some circle jerk to see who would be on it, or about how good we could make them look.

When you made your offer to take care of the high SD banner, I was excited, but a little disappointed. I love you and your art, but your motivations were unclear. Jump forward, and suddenly something that was supposed to be about our love for OPRP has become about who's going to be on the banner, who's going to make the artwork, who's good enough to be considered at all.

I don't know what the process is for getting commissions done from him, but if you can, I kindly ask you to consider canceling it, and instead doing the artwork yourself. What is lost in quality will be made up several times over by the fact that it was done by someone who actually uses OPRP, someone who has gone through ups and downs here, but can look back and be happy with where this site and it's users have brought you.

This project is all about OPRP coming together and producing something that we can all be proud of. If anyone else agrees, or disagrees with what I just said, please, let your opinions be heard.

Sincerely,
Tengu

I'm not doing this banner in order to make anything else look bad. My belief is that if you want to do something, go the whole way to make it the best it can be. Many people on this site wanted an artist that could replicate just enough of one piece within their art style, and sadly I don't believe my art, although practised, fits that style. It is a reason I have had such issues with drawing characters from the site (unless lots of freedom is given)

You may well disagree with me commissioning the banner, and others on the site may well feel this way, but I will be sticking to my guns for the fact that I still think for me personally, the guy working on the banner, that for me it's the right way to go.

I give you all the kudos, Tengu, for deciding to draw the lower sd banner yourself, because I know it is a difficult thing to undertake.

The whole concept of both banners, according to some accounts, comes over as a circle jerk. If we just had pre-decided banners, then we'd have favouritism. If I had to choose from the two, I'd go with the former, like you did too. I love the site, and the various characters on it, and I want to be able to represent that through me trying to get the best result in terms of imagery.

I'm sorry, I just don't subscribe to the idea that the only legitimate work on these banners could come from people inside oprp itself. That doesn't equal loving the site to me, loving the site should be welcoming any and all art in all it's forms, within the site or not. Any preferred way of creating art seems restrictive and against my way of thinking.

For me, this banner is kinda like a gift back to the site. If you wish to do, in your opinion, a more legitimate version of the banner, I'm happy to let you do another version alongside it. I won't stop you from creating extra art for the site, the more the merrier.

Besides, I've already paid mizael, so I kinda feel there's no turning back, not that I'd want to anyway.

I respect your opinion, but also I disagree. I do however thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to take on such a task. I guess it's just our means of making it happen differs.
