Maybe it would fit easier for the Picture here:

http://www.fujimishobo.co.jp/novels/ind ... 0319115200

for example, using the whitespace on the left for the logo and cutting off a part on the right and the bottom to create a square.

These are just my thoughts, though. And as far as i can see it, that illustration is drawn by Miyama-Zero.

Oh, thats the one I originally wanted to use but it had writings on her body. Nice job on finding the clean one :D . Yeah, its Miyama-Zero's illustration.

Okay, I just cut and resized it so zzhk can put the BT logo on.

Maybe we need to resize it even more but what are the actual width and height requirement for the thumbnail?

Im a noob at doing this so can anyone help?

The thumbnails that we already have are at 100px x 100px, so that should be the requirement.

Well, if you have something with words on the image, we probably can ask someone from the respective manga scantalation team (japanzai in this case) to clean and redraw.

@Kuroihikari
Oh thanks. Its smaller than I thought.

@larethian
Awesome. I have some magazines with words that needs to be taken off for the DxD. Maybe I should ask Akuma since he is part of Japanzai.

@zzhk
wow that was quick. It definitely looks better now. I think we need to send it to TLG so he can put it on the DxD sub-forum.

High School DxD and Campione, for now.

Campione's thumb: http://i.imgur.com/IYa8Y.jpg
DxD's: http://i.imgur.com/vhA6L.jpg
The links submitted in the admin thread are correct, so it's probably just a cut and paste error.

Should be rectified soon enough.

I've just noticed that around the letters and the vertical/horizontal lines you should have put a glow and not a stroke.

Well, the text isn't exactly right either in size or position. No one volunteered, so I simply did it using MS Word Art + Paint and judged visually based on existing thumbnails.

I invite someone with the proper tools and skills to provide a more professional alternative. After all, the source image is in this thread.

Ideally, the creator of the other thumbnails could provide a template with instructions so that anyone can do it properly to match the existing thumbnails. Unless they don't mind doing it every time, it's their choice after all.

Here is a psd for a forum thumbnail: http://jumbofiles.com/fai8tdg9kj8m
You only need to change the background layer and the color of the outer glow to make a new thumbnail.

Edit: I've just noticed that Rias in your thumbnail looks blurry. How did you resize the pic?

Wow it looks different. I like the purple shade to the logo.

By the way, who do we have to inform about putting/removing thumbnail(Its really weird to see Godou and Athena)?

it's not just the glow but the sharpness that looks good. that's why you need the pros to do this :lol: though good effort to whoever who did the previous one.
