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.

All right, we've got 4:20 left on the clock. What still needs to be done:

  • The KLM plane (anyone who can draw this – please!)
  • The windmills (I'll draw those)
  • Extending the canal wall to the front (so the road doesn't look like it's floating)
  • The King & Queen (/u/XeyBlazey, how are they coming along?)
  • A less weird-looking modern warship in terms of perspective – fortunately I have another frigate sketch lying around, which I will downscale and transparent-ify. On second thought, the one there is now looks a lot better.
  • Actually putting up /u/vanderZwan's coloured houses over the current grey ones

The KLM plane (anyone who can draw this – please!)

Done, quick and dirty trace from here (hope I'm not stepping on /u/potverdorie's toes)

The plane looks a bit pale in front of the other stuff.

If you've time, could you add a black outline please?

Huh? How does it work in GIMP?

Intended to do it several times yet but didn't know how to.

  • "magic wand" to select transparant space
  • invert selection
  • grow selection by one pixel
  • new layer underneath old one
  • fill with black paint

Done!

What's the equivalent to Murica Fuck Yeah! in Dutch?

There's a topic about that

EDIT: Noticed the tourist boat? Could that fit in the canal above the houses, moving back and forth?
