[Discussion] MADA GFX

So yeah. Y'all might have noticed that
MADA hasn't had banner gfx for a while.
I might even be starting to dig this newfound "No Banners" ultra minimalist look if this keeps up. Lel
But still



I wanted to discuss with all of you
- What monster(s) or card arts and you'd like to see in each banner for each section explaining why (yeah I wamna hear a readonable explanation of why)
^This is the most importsnt opinion I want to hear. Because then we can tell the gfx artist exactly what we want for each section. usually giving the gfx artist liberty on what characters to put in each banner has usually ended by pissing me off in the end.
- What Art Style would you like to see all of them in? (Yknow. Stuff like Minimalist, Neon, Techno, Dark, Gioth, whatever. Just describe what style and why.)
- What font, font style or colours you'd like to see
- How large or small y'all prefer your banners to be
- What you want, like and expect of the main banner as well

Keeping in mind these things though
- This is MAGIC ARTS Duel Academia (yeah name's gotta be spelt exactly like that :p )
- Our main mascot is Dark Magician (So if you're tired of Dark Magician or hate him. Well. Fuck You X'D )
- Banners should try to consist of Spellcasters and Magician related stuff that make sense for each section. Try to keep that Magician/Spellcaster monster/spell/trap feel.

MADA Forum Sections:

^Copy past this for your post if you want to. I guess.

I really hope to hear from you all in detailed posts which addresses what you all want for each section banner (and anything else y'all have in mind about the gfx) so that we can make the academia gfx awesome possum, together. XD
Glhf. But most importantly.

I know this isnt answering this topic but.
Aizen sat down and made gfx for the place and yet he didnt get an answer on weather or not you guys would use them, making this topic just seems like a fuck you to all the hard work he did and what he promised az he made a banner for every single forum excet MADA after hours and Staff discussion Because only Staff can see the Staff Discussion area and only special people can see after hours so putting GFX on them is completely Pointless, I think you should just use aizen's GFX due to the fact it was Az who asked him to do it so long ago. Honestly he gave you Perfect GFX and you guys just blew it away. Another thing was when star said "It didnt Fit the theme of MADA" Im sure they do except for TV and Movies which i like the best, Most academies have something different on one or two banners, All the things he put were spellcasters except TV and MOVIES so i think you guys should give it another talk about aizens GFX work.

'i kinda have a problem with that, because i came here for that reason.

[Kira Yoshikage]

Aurora, Aizen still hasnt come through with the GFX for the place. He isnt active on MADA or BWDA any more, and is more worried about his live stream than actually helping out at either place. You want to defend him on this matter? Go ahead. But you know deep down that what Im saying is right.

[α27theDemonKnight]

Guys. Guys.
Pipe down on the Aizen matter.
I require specific answers to specific questions at the moment.
That issue will be adressed soon.

Now. GFX. What is it that you'd like to see? Discuss that <_<

[Kira Yoshikage]

What MARTH would particularly love to see....
Pendulum Magicians for the GFX, along with Nirvana High Paladin and Enlightenment Paladin. They perfectly capture the evolution of the Magic Art into something new and more powerful.
As for the Anime section of MADA, you could always use Robin from Fire Emblem.
Thats just my personal preference though.

@Aurora

The reason I didn't answer yet was because of JP's appearance on MADA. On its own, I still stand by that the GFX doesn't fit MADA's appearance although we would be using them if it wasn't for a GFX artist who had showed up to MADA that I've been trying to contact even before Azmain stepping down. JP was the GFX artist of VDA who I've been looking for, for some time now and by sheer coincidence she stumbled on to MADA, and yes I will be asking for her GFX abilities. Collectively, as staff, the Big 3 will decide which GFX to use when JP is finished with her work.

[ResonatingOctave]

Can I just say, I am a personal fan of Judgement Princess' work, and I think that they could do some really great stuff for the academy even though they are newer here.

[Zaio Volnutt]

Would be real nice if there was a subliminal message on the banner that says "We are MADA" cuz reference ^^

[Judgement Princess]

Only problem we run into is... the shortage of renders they have for mages.

[Flip Flapper]

playing with Zaio´s idea we could for the writin center have written "We are MADA" there, again becuse reference

- Staff Discussion - Jotaro(JJBA Stardust Crusaders), Momonga(Overlord) and Genos(One Punch Man) all rendered together. Because the big 3.
- MADA After Hours - Dark Magician Girl. Because DMG is waifu material. Amirite?
- Introduction and Farewells - Apprentice Magician. Because fresh faces, or shall I say "Apprentices" come in all the time, and some Apprentices leave.
- Announcements - Dark Magician. The big guy himself.
- Rules - Spellbook of the Master. The Masters write the rules of course.

Dorm Rooms*
- Fusion Dorm - El Shaddoll Winda. Because Shaddolls were a force to be reckoned with, and they were a Spellcaster Fusion deck.
- Synchro Dorm - Nirvana High Paladin. The new boss Synchro monster of Magicians.
- Xyz Dorm - Performage Trapeze Magician. Performages were a very powerful, splashable archetype that saw much play. Trapeze Magician helped with many OTK's.
- Standard Dorm - Timegazer/Stargazer Magicians rendered together. Because they are the flagships of Pendulum, and Standard Dimension in Arc-V is where Pendulum originated.

Activity Area
- Academy Area - Breaker the Magical Warrior. A Magical Warrior trained to do combat with his foes
- War Arena - Blast Magician. Because why not?
- YuGiOh Articles - Royal Magical Library. Where most of le articles and books are stored.

Academy Shops

I feel that we should use an actual video game character with high magical power for video games (ex. Cole Macgrath, Infamous franchise)
