I need some action shots for our banner. Capture yourself (or maybe someone else) in mid-cast/mid-punch/mid-emote. If you guys have some cool ones, post them here for the sake of sharing or glory.
Some guidelines for the banner images I'm looking for: In general it's better to include the entire character in the shot. Angle the camera so that it is between the chest and thigh. Daytime shots are better lit. I can't use night shots, too dark. The more contrast there is between the character and the background, the better.
Again, the above guidelines are for the action shots I'm looking for to include in the banner, but feel free to share any cool action shots you've taken in this thread.

The first one looks like you're gonna fall into a void of some green, glowy sort. The last one looks like you're leaping out of the depths of Hades for some poor unsuspecting victim. The tail really helps add to that effect. lol 'Course, if the denizens of Hell looked like that I dunno that everyone would be so reluctant to go... lol

I think it would be cool if one of our archers could get a screen of the skill/spell that does the bird over them. That looks awesome! I may see if I can get some closeups of Divine Pyrogram being charged (Lasts longer for multiple pics)... I dunno, I just think the charging of the flaming card looks cool... It would be nice if I had a better computer so Dauthus would be clearer in the middle column of Dragons Breath too. Also, a suggestion if you want to take pics of others, you can use your mouse wheel to zoom in far enough it's like you're seeing what your character sees. That way your char won't be in the way of a pic. Maybe next time we do a boss/elite fight or FB, we should have someone extra assigned to "camera duties". lol

Awesome, thanks Dauthus. I love that one christmas tree attack. That was the one I was looking for.

Under settings in UI turn off (un-check) 'My Name' and it will remove the name. As far as the life bar goes, I dunno. I've never seen that I have one. lol BTW, those are some awesome shots! As far as size goes, in graphics it is usually best to have them to be too big than too small. Images will still look great when you shrink them (sometimes better) but enlarging them makes them grainy.

Yep, that's right. The closer the better, and the more full body the better. But mainly I'm after the lighting effects and a nice, dynamic shot. The bar and name aren't all that important, since I can just fix it in Photoshop.
I think we got us winner there, great shots! I'll have time to work on this over the weekend, so I'll probably wrap up our first banner Saturday or Sunday.
