Sorry, I'm just inept at speaking.
For the background (I always think in layers because that's how most programs are set up), so the very bottom layer of the picture - in the case of your BD banner it was Midgar, or a dark city - I'd want to use either a picture of a cave, or a still from the CC scene in which Cloud meets Zack.
Then, for different ways to take the banner - I'd darken and up the contrast on the cave picture for a very dark feel, but add some touches of red and then saturate it to make it really pop (which would also pull out the red in Vincent).
But that's with the cave background.
OR,
I use the CC still and take a light approach of the idea, using lots of snow and washed out, bright colors. Lot's of whites and blues.
It really comes down in basic if you want a dark banner for the story, or a light one? More oriented on Yuffie, or Vinnie?
Do I make more sense this time?
Please restart if error occurs again.

No, it makes sense now. I'm just a little torn between which one I want--they both sound so tempting, but I think I'm leaning toward the CC cut. I originally had a light banner in mind, and I think that sounds about right.
I was wondering, though, if you could somehow make Yuffie more forwardly (lulz, is that even a word? :B) oriented, and then have Vincent fading a little in the background?

Yeah - that sounds really epic - especially considering i'd have the blizzard dusting going on. He could fade away into that.
Sounds like a plan!

Haha. Maybe I don't need a banner with you to advertise for me, Moira (...no I do! I do! I really, really want one!)
I'm so excited! Thank you so much for saying you'll do it Clan. I feel all giddy now!

That it does, Clan. :3
@pen: I'm trying, I really am. ;_; Y'know, 'cept I've (mostly) put the pen down on all of my fics to better concentrate on judging. And I'm cycling between three fics begging to be written! D:
So patience, young padawan. U.U

MR is correct Pen, I've only been begging you guys to give me something to do. But yeah, give me some idea into the story and I'll put you in the line-up. I'm so excited to start working on these, I'm actually leaving for my mac in a minute. Hope - I've been thinking about yours and here's what I got in mind: I want a close up of Tseng, probably using either some fanart or the screen in CC with him and Zack at the playground. Either way, I'm aiming for him with his hair in a pony-tail - unless you think a curtain of hair better suits the time frame of the piece? But anyway, Close up of Tseng on the left, focus mainly on his eyes - looking off or down. It probably wouldn't show down past his shoulders. Behind him, use the still of Midgar (it's a bluish/green opening from CC - kinda looks up at the building) - then get a shot of C with her back facing the audience. Have Reno and Rude back with her as well, but facing forward and close together where as C would be pushed off the group. Scarlet I would post over behind Tseng, not as close up so you would see more of her - but for some reason I want her smoking something and I want the smoke to twist through the banner... Those are just some ideas - nothing concrete - let me know what your thoughts are. I'm really excited to find something with scarlet...

Well, since I'm trying to work up the inspiration to do the next chapter of The Need to Know, Clan, would you mind doing a banner of that for me?
The story is Kingdom Hearts setting, with Yuffie as the main character, and Axel is her love interest. Basically, it's about how they meet randomly and get to know each other, and then Axel dies (as he does in canon), and she has to grieve, etc. Then she finds him again, and he's lost all his memory, and she doesn't know how the heck he's even alive after Sora saw him die, and it's up to her to jog his memories and figure out how he's living again.
Is that enough source material for you?

La - you've infected others to use that name, I hope you're happy. I'll get to work so I can move to yours La, it'll be about three days - if that's cool with you. And thank you, my ego almost can't fit into my head. Almost. You guys are the greatest though, and so easy to impress. Anyway, Pen - Love the concept (how come everyone has the coolest stories?), i'm seeing lots of white colors (as seen in the drawing room) with Yuffie and Axle (no clue what they'll be doing yet) up front. Behind, I'll take some stills from the KH game and throw some effects on them to look as if they were hand drawn - hang them around the white space like the pictures. I dunno, some thoughts - which is usually how I end these. Thanks again gang!

Hmmm ... I have to think now. Can I request a Rufus/Tifa? I just recently got into that pairing, and I'm kinda tempted to write a fic now, lol!

No. I am against Rufus/Tifa specifically. And that was sarcasm. Of course you can, what do I care who it is? Exactly.
