Update: The winners for the regular banners are MrGS, enussi, and Darkflamemaster. Honourable metnion goes to Yuuiki, whose banner received the most votes among the staff but seems to be strangely vetoed by Holo (at least I haven’t rolled it once). Please check your email inboxes for instructions to receive your prize!
Holo edit: It’s definitely there!
Hello, folks! It’s been a while since we’ve had a banner competition, so it’s time to have another one! To mix things up a bit this time, we have two categories for the banners this time: for Christmas and New Years (closed), and for regular banners for all year round. In addition, we’re giving out prizes in (almost) true holiday christmas spirit!
As for the usual rules, here are some copypasta from the last competition:
The banner competition will end when there are sufficient submissions.
The number of banners we pick will be proportional to the number of submitted entries.
Submit by replying to this post, 1 link to a banner per reply.
And here are the technical criteria for the banners submitted to be used on the blog:
- 1240px x 250px
- .jpg or .png (preferred)
- Filesize should be reasonable.
And here are the criteria for characters/shows:
- Character(s) should be female. (Or at least include a female.)
- Banner must be SFW. No nudity/genitalia/hentai/etc.
- Character(s) should come from a show that Doki has done/is doing/plans to do.
- The banner should include the words “Doki Fansubs” somewhere on it.
- We cannot accept Clannad banners containing official Key artwork.
Just some advice, the best banners not only have good design, but the logo “Doki Fansubs” also “fits” the banner, ie, it doesn’t stand out.
The best 8 designs as chosen by staff members (4 Christmas/New Year designs and 4 regular designs) will receive a single Steam key for one of the following games:
- 99 Spirits
- War of the Human Tanks
- 100% Orange Juice
- QP Shooting – Dangerous!!
- World End Economica Ep 1
- Sakura Spirit
- Fault Milestone One
- Planetarian
Please note that the prizes are not finalised.
If you are not artistic, we will also have more ways to win keys in the coming days. More prizes may also be added, so stay tuned!
Good luck!
Update: The winners for the Christmas banners are ABC, Lolicon4Life, and WarmMist. Honourable mention goes to ZdrytchX. Keep the regular banners coming!

Oh my god that is absolute best. I’m voting for this entry without a doubt XD
I agree!
Even if I didn’t win it, it would be nice if there was a one in a thousand chance of my banner popping up for the laughs.
LOL, Sakura Spirit. I wouldn’t get it even if it were free. But I am looking forward to the usual banner submissions 😀

Basically just Kyoukai no Kanata EP1 endcard with “Doki Fansubs” lettering. Hope you like it.
Either it’s just me or I’ve seen something similar that’s already on the site
I tried. http://i.imgur.com/jhXn252.png
This one is good , did you hand draw it ?.
No, I just found a vector, then cut out the speech bubble in the GJ-bu logo and added text. Quite simple but I think it’s effective.
I’m bad with Photoshop, but I gave it a try. Here’s the result:

Sakura Trick, yey! Yuri always good! <3
Would get my vote.
EPIC
Saved!
I’m not an artist, but I was bored so I wanted to give it a shot.

Here’s one. It’s all right to do another, right? Just not in the same post?

Also, that Sakura Trick one looks great.
Your banner and your name do not seem to be in tune with eachother.
There are some things you just don’t sexualise. Rin is one of them.
I respect you, man.
respect has been given
Hear hear.

Used the vector sourcing for a wallpaper I made a month or so ago in Illustrator:

Here’s a Christmas themed one; it took a stupidly long time to make.

I don’t think they liked squished up images.
Ye, you need to do something about the way those images are all compressed like that, imo.

According to the rules the number picked is based on the number submitted. If all these squished images come in, will mine get picked? XD
Hi, so I made a banner, it was what I was inspired to make, it came out pretty good so I’m happy!. I guess the down side is that you can’t use it unless you guys decide to pick up the Denki-gai no Honya-san BD’s. Maybe it’s just my clever way of begging to pick up a BD release ?. You know you wanna’ I mean how can you resist Comic book Loli’s?, you know you can’t resist them Ixlone!. http://i.imgur.com/bhvW5ZD.pngBreaking the rules intentionally and having the gall to request we pick it up so it can be used? lol 11/10 xD – TT
No u, TheThing. We are totally picking this up this moment.
LOL, TT!. Gall?, no, Huge stones, more likely. Oh, and a keen sense on what titles are a win with the staff~, that helps.
Also since this was apparently “planned” no rules have been broken. Check and Mate.
P.S. Love you TT and doki staff even if I don’t get picked!.
lol, Kuzu was being sarcastic. xD We’re not picking this up 🙂
And in terms of what titles are a win with the staff, if you include “traps” in your banner, chances are both me, jakeman95 and Jocko will vote it 😀
So you want a tail red banner, then?
Tail Red isn’t a trap.

It looks like fun, so I decided to give it a try (even though I can’t produce anything decent enough). 😀

And another.

It’s funny how quickly I forget how boring cleaning images is and commit to making another.
I like the zombie wallpaper.
Regular one: http://i4.minus.com/imHhpRMIAp7nQ.png

Felt like making another one.

I feel like your site needs more mountain girl love:
http://puu.sh/dlVIg.png
I like it. 🙂
Always down for some mountain girls.
You mean up. Unless you only climb down mountains.
I Know that there already are some banners of BRS, but I felt like making one anyway 😉 I just hope it isn’t too busy looking.
