Yes indeed. My christmas present from my dad is going to be a website, upon which to store, edit, and show off all of my collected writing in one place.

There's a problem. I need art! I need front page art. I need title art. I need background graphics.

So here it is. The contest: Read at least one of the following pieces, and give me whatever you've got. Bad-ass. Beautiful. As long as it's not uber chibi cutesy, because that wouldn't really fit the idea. Go wild! Just state whether it's background, title, or front page art. I'll pick a winner in each category eventually, and that piece will be displayed for all to see whenever someone looks at my site, with full credit given to the artist who created it.

Dark Desert Sundown: An Ode to Solitude

Wings of an Eagle

Where the White Dove Flies

And Shieldrunner:

It isn’t always easy.
The cock of the hammer rings through the night like an axe hitting a chopping block.
But in the end, I’m a problem solver.
Seven heads. Three bullets. Little girl looks up at me with that clueless-but-slightly-unnerved child look. Doesn’t really know what’s going on. Hopes I’ll save her.
Always have been.
Gun’s not pointed at the hydra.
Always will be.
Bang.
‘Till the day I die.
Little Mathilda isn’t around anymore. Brains are an elliptical mosaic on the cobblestones. Bullet hole in the lower half. Bull’s-eye.
Hydras don’t exist in this world. Telepaths do. End of story.


~//~

Edit: The title of the website is Shieldrunner - The Writings

Very well. Show me what you've got!

ps: This is an OPEN contest. That means ANYONE can submit something.

I need a background, a title image, and a front page pic(three different pics), and it doesn't have to be thoroughly based on one of them, just inspired by them. Anyone can make as many submissions as they want to any category, I'll choose one from each category and those three will go on the website.

Edit: As a side note, I'm not really looking for much from the background image, it can be a vanilla landscape with nothing much really to it, or it can be a photoshopped thing. Remember, it's a background. Not meant to be eye-catching.

yes but on many sites the look of the page is important. The more a website looks good the more traffic it's likely to recive i'll get to work on mine tonight. Any specifications on banner title?
It shall be done by later today sometime. I'll post my banner soon.

For a title image, I'm not looking for anything in particular, the idea is just that it's inspired by one of those stories, hopefully they'll all have similar feel to them, but I realize I was lax in that I didn't mention the title of the website. (Which, for now, is Shieldrunner - The Writings.)

I'll go ahead and change that real quick.
