Although I own the server and maintain it, Novis itself is ours so why not make it fun when it comes to personalizing it?? So how about a contest to do just that!
BACKGROUND & BORDER DESIGN
For this contest, I'm going to let you artists out there to draw the:
Backdrop1.jpg (Main Menu Background)
and Backdrop2.png (the area around characters in character view)
You can go any way you want with this! Make it a background of Novis Scenery. Make it a group of Meurtrier characters looking at the sunset. Make it abstract even! (But don't get too crazy). And with Backdrop2, make the border be bamboo or jungle shrubs where some poke out into the transparency. Make it Cherry blossoms or a straight pattern- just be creative with it! What is chosen as the background will be the determining factor for how the other aspects look (such as buttons and boxes)! Here are some guidelines to think about though:
If you're interested, hand your submissions to me via PM or Skype. I will test them in-game to make sure they fit. If things need to be fixed I'll tell you and we can work it out before you give me your final version of your submission. Once I have ALL submissions finalized I will set up a poll thread for the whole forum to vote for the one they want.
I'm going to give this a Month. If we need more time, hey, I'm flexible. If there are any questions or something I forgot, comment on here >.>

What is chosen as the background will be the determining factor for how the other aspects look (such as buttons and boxes)! Here are some guidelines to think about though:
- Backdrop1 must stay jpg and Backdrop2 MUST stay png. And they must stay the same size. Be wary that it might stretch a bit in-game.
- With Backdrop2, the area of transparency cannot be made bigger, any bigger and the buttons would overlap into the transparency. It CAN be made smaller, but keep in mind that you have to see the full body of the character! And either way, the transparency area MUST be included! (duh.)
- Keep the theme Novis related! Considerably, it could even be Meurtrier related since Meurtrier is a large influence on the forum, but don't feel as if you're limited to that.
- Keep in mind that some areas will be covered by buttons and boxes. Please leave a good area around the Title free of things that might be covered up, because later we will be having a contest for Title designing.
- Do you have to do both? No, but it is kind of preferred. I like things to match, y'know?
- LASTLY, use your own stuff please. This should be solely your own art and no one else's. If you steal art you're going to be dealing with a bigger problem then just being kicked from the contest.
