It has come to my attention that I horribly suck at doing any type of digital art and need a team in order to fulfill my current work quota. I am now hiring people who think they can photoshop and create good looking artwork. If you think you can, please reply and... oh wait- that's too boring. How about we turn this into a contest?

I ask anyone who has any type of skill to create some player backgrounds for me. These are the images that are seen on certain players before the video loads. Here are some examples:

Please keep the size of the images at 540x438.

There is no limit to the amount of entries you submit. Winners will be selected by popular staff vote. Every artist who is selected can optionally join the AnimeSeed Staff as a graphics artist. The top artist will receive a raffle prize similar to the prize of the current ongoing raffle.

Please submit all work within this topic. The deadline is August 31st.

Good Luck, and please be original!
