I got the PM! Sounds awesome! :D I loved the color ideas!

I like the idea of desktop and a print-out version.
However for the desktops, there is the issue of screen size... I have pretty massive screens, but I know some other people have smaller desktops than I do... should we settle on 2 or 3 desk sizes, or stick to one small/medium one?

Thanks for the PM, Bella =D

I am not sure what "desktop size" refers to anymore, because there are a lot of sizes now.... but I think most people have the standard screen 3:4 ratio, or the widescreen 1280x800 pixels... and now there is also the super wide screen (I think about 1300x900? not really sure anymore...) For me, screen size refers to 1280x800 since I have been using wide screen for a long time (and my own calendars are all based on that size).

Anyways, give me a DPI and a size in pixels and I will be happy to work with it =D

I think we should use the 1280x800 sized one, because I think that's the standard size. I use that too. And for the smaller one... well, can anyone give us a size?

Oh, and for everyone: those color themes were just suggestions. You don't have to use them if you don't want to.

Also Ki-kun... Will you be able to recieve the pictures to the Calendar?

Size is fine for me =D WIth a DPI of 300, 1280x800 actually prints out to 4.27 x 2.67 inches.

Yes, I can collect the finish product and get them up on the site =) Please e-mail all calendars (I think whoever is making the numbers will send them to everyone separately?) to me at Ki.Hiwatari@Gmail.com

I can do the numbers, as I'm sick right now, and I think I'll be at home all week long. =)

SSo. Here's what I came up with.

So first when you draw your characters, and want to add a background to the picture, DON'T. Save it in a different name, and then send it to me (gaborzsu@hotmail.com). Because I'll do the cover of the Calendar, copying every picture into one.

And for the picture, I don't think there should be a printable version, because I checked this one by printing it, and it was good! So here's my option:
http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss72/bella_mist/cal1.png


And for the number I have another new idea. I think everybody should do their own numbers! It doesn't take too much time, if you use PS, and your own page from the Calendar can be as unique as you want by using your favourite fonts! Here's a picture about it:
http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss72/bella_mist/cal2.png


So? What do you think?

I like the first option (512 x 720 pixels) ...more space for the art! ^_^
But i'm wondering if there should be some more unity for the numbers for the calendar months? (Fonts, etc?)... I don't know! Whatever everyone wants!...

So the size of the art is okay for everyone?

And you can use any kind of fonts, colors, whatever you want to the calendar. Just make it look like a calendar page.

Ok! ^_^

So for the characters for the cover, can I send you photoshop or jpeg?
And for my calendar page, I'm guessing it has to be jpeg?

IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE!

Characters: please send it in a .png format.
Calendar: .png is the best I think... but the biggest one. So please send it in a .jpeg format.

The size is fine for me =D

So we will all be sending the finished calendar to Haine? Or do you mean the image and the calendar numbers in two separate files? (sorry I am a bit confused @_@). Luckily I have just started the sketch... size not exactly right, but I will just crop LOL

For the characters, is it just whatever we have in the actual calendar page without the BG? Or should we draw one particular character like what Muffin has shown?

Hyuu~ I'm a bit confused too... Mm, maybe making a template that we can all use to stick everything on would be a good idea, then we can just make our pages using that, and also send the seperate character picture in for the cover.
