New Year holidays Banner Competition

[yggnomial]

Wasn't originally going to post this, in case it didn't have enough to do with holidays, but someone convinced me to. Characters are White Len and Black Len (in cat form) from Melty Blood, in the Tsukihime series.

I really need to know 
Where does everybody get their anime characters images.
Backgrounds and efects are nice but i just can't find a place to find some sources with anime characters in winter themes :'(
Please help 
Thank youuu 

[Kuroshima]

I have to say... The banners above aren't really Christmas themed but they are very nice

@alexfluffy

I believe enginarc posted a link where he found some anime themed images...
I think it was eshuushuu or something like that... I can't really remember.
It's in this thread, around page 3-6 I think.

Ohohhoh, hahah, how dummy can I be.. I was gonna post my banners elsewhere, but I was going trough all the banners here and
posted my non-Holiday banners here. Lol. I'll re-place them ^^

well Christmas themed is nice and all, we have alot of nice banners with Christmas hats and what not, but i'm pretty sure the idea was seasonal/holiday themed...so winter theme, new year's theme etc. not just Christmas. I'm going to try for a new year's themed one next i think, once I find a good anime/screen cap to use. (i realize the original comment was on nippe's banners that have been moved ^_^)

@ alexfluffy

I screen cap my own images. they might not be holiday to begin with, but it is possible to edit in/add a holiday feel to them by adding a good BG or snowflakes/santa hats/fireworks and other decorations etc. If you can think of a way to use the image in a festive manner it can work I think.

I like this one.  ^_^ It's a good example of a non holiday image with holiday added. Do you ahve any kind of glow around Edward. the left edge of his hood looks a bit weird to me...but that could just be me.

[Kuroshima]

Oh yes, excuse my use of Christmas, i just group this time of year into that category (kinda like people saying Christmas season).
I think the left side of the hood is some snow effects. Which happen to be where the light shade of the gradient is...We shall see

That could be. we'll have to see. ^_^

as for Christmas....yeah, I think most of us group it that way, hence many of the banner submissions are very christmasy...even mine..I was just trying to point out it would be good to get more winter themed or new years themed ones as well. i'm trying to think of one along those lines now.

It will be fun to see what banners are chosen from all these. There are lots of really nice ones...they did say they weren't going to announce which ones, right? Its like gonna be a surprise....right?

@ Scotsman:  Not sure if you have the 200px on the right.  Might want to slide the stuff over (though if you do, ignore this comment!)

erm....ooops just realised myself I got the sides mixed up, had 200 on the left and 100 on the right. Forgive my incompetence, please. I'm fixing them and trying to add a seasons greeting but I can't seem to find a good place for the text.

Hello all! I haven't been to this site since it changed to Baka BitTorrent so I just re-created my account. Hoorah for first time posts!

Here is my contribution to the New Years/Winter Banner contest. As you can see I leaned more onto the New Years aspect than winter.
It is featuring both Nanas (Nana "Hachi" Komatsu and Nana Osaki) from, you guessed it, Nana!

I like the concept on this, but it is hard to read the writing on the right, can you ,ake it one size bigger? that might help. and I think it would be nice if we could see nana osaki better, if she wasn't so see through. I'd try moving her a little little bit right, making her less transparent, and shifting the rest just a bit left, unless that wouldn't leave enough pixels on each side..(100 on left, 200 on right)
eeeerrrr..something like that anyway.

I have been trying to fiddle with the text on the left (I think that is what you meant to say in your comment?) and I may indeed increase the font size on it so that it is easier on the eyes. I was hoping to be able to just make a shadow beneath it. @,@;;
As for Osaki Nana, I have more specific reason for her transparency the way it is. She is supposed to be more of a projected thought of Hachi's rather than actually there. Thank you so much for the comment Hiiragi! ^_^

Here is my banner with fixed wording. Much easier to read it now. Characters again are Nana Osaki (in background) and Nana "Hachi" Komatsu (in foreground) from Nana.
