Banner: division of labour

All right. The basis we are working from is this banner. Various minor modifications are still being discussed, but I think we should give each contributor some freedom in drawing "his" section, rather than endlessly spamming details and trying to get a consensus on absolutely everything.

With that in mind, let's try to divide some tasks. I need volunteers for several different sections. I will update this post with usernames as people pick a section.

Let the volunteering begin!

The deadline for contributions is Friday 23:59 CEST, so don't wait too long with picking a section and drawing it.

Figured I might as well do the joke I suggested. So that's part of the flea-market.

Burger buying a joint from a shifty looking Dutch for many Euros:

Friendly reminder: no submission rights & no experience here. Might need some clean-up. Ironically, drawing the 50 euro bill was the easiest part.

EDIT: Fixed colours + manual downscale

Not bad. Remember to use the correct flag colours from Wikipedia. Also, bear in mind that it will have to be downscaled to fit into the banner – I highly doubt the "oregano" will still be legible at that scale...

Yeah, I'll fix the colours later.

As for the text, I could add a "zoomed in looking glass" overlay, perhaps?

How much does it have to be downscaled you think? To 50% - 25% of what it is now?

Instead of keeping downscaling in mind, I think it's best to draw it in the size it'll be right away.

Take the banner on top (or just the specifications stated there) and try to draw your drawing inside those borders, keeping in mind that your picture will be inside the minimum banner together with the flea market, royal couple and two grachten (one with drunk tourists, one with the colonials).
This means you'll have about 1/7th of the minimum banner at your disposal, which should be more than enough.
