So far, it's for the custom titles to be in line with our current ranking structure by two votes.
The nominations stand at:
Acey
Antimatterenergy
Bliss
Crystlshake
Cyber Skaarj
Daniel Jess Gibson
J.St. C. Patrick
Metroidvania
Neko-
Pale Wolf
Stratagemini
WarGiver
The thread for voting on the first recipients will be created either late Saturday night, or sometime on Sunday, so tomorrow is the last day for nominations. This thread will stay open for suggestions about the titles, graphics, or system.
Since you all seem happy with my first drafts of the title graphics, I'll go with those three for now. I've made some cosmetic adjustments:

Moon Queen is the title for the winner of the vote, and runners-up 1 and 2 will get their choice of either the black or white Moon Cat graphic and the title of Moon Cat Advisor.

The graphics are good.
The princess one could use a little collor though.

God made it with a non-slip surface, a color coded system so we know when to eat it, and an easy open tab at the top of the banana. It's just the right shape for a mouth and is easy to digest!!

What did you have in mind? I'm not sure what can be done with it that wouldn't make the detail of Queen Serenity disappear. It's difficult to find art of her that can be reduced to that size (25 pixels high) and still look good. Here are some examples of others so you can see the problem.

Actually the last one doesn't look half bad. The one with the floral script pattern in the background.. a bit grainy but on my screen it looks fine *shrugs* It doesn't matter much either way....

I'm seriously flattered to be nominated, especially since I haven't been really active outside of Spamville for quite a while now. Thanks guys ^^
I'm happy with the nominations as they stand save for the missing figure of Ellfie. He's contributed an awful lot to the board since it's began so I nominate him to be included in the vote too.

This is probably a stupid question, so I'll ask it anyway.
Is there going to be one vote, with first place going to Moon Queen, second and third going to the two Moon Cat Advisors?
Or a separate vote for Moon Queen and Moon Cat Advisors?
Or one for Moon Queen, one for Dark (Feral) Moon Cat Advisor, and a third for Light (Cute/Sweet) Moon Cat Advisor?

I'd assume that means one vote, the first place gets Moon Queen and the second and third place gets to choose amongst themselves? I'm not sure. I've got a question about that actually... is it possible to have say two Black or two White cat advisors if they so choose?

Let's see... the full username for that person is "Sailor Sedai (Ellf)", right? Added.

Your second paragraph is correct. One vote, the top three getting the titles. Considering that this is all very experimental right now, individual vote threads for each position would be both wasteful of server space and needlessly complex.

Yes, it will be possible for there to be two of the same color; I'm not sticking to Sailor Moon and insisting that there be one black and one white cat. Since the two graphics have such different moods to them, I'd rather the persons who win select the one that suits each of them best. And since I'm coming up with a bunch more Moon Queen graphics, the top dog will get to choose which one of them they want. I'll just keep the lot on file for future recipients to choose from when the time comes.
Speaking of which, here are two more, submitted for forum criticism.

The second one looks a little pixelated, as if the edges are abruptly cut but I rather like the composition of it, what with the face on one side, and the floral pattern, And it's got colour~! That's always good....I guess it's because the face looks like it was cropp'd and the background filled in with black before being pasted on the floral background that it looks a bit rough...but otherwise very nice. The top graphic looks a little too hazy on my res.. a bit blurry.... and I'm not too big a fan of a profile shot, and a tilted one at that....

The second one can be worked with. I threw that one together quickly, with the idea of showing the composition. I can turn the spaces around her head transparent and show the scrollwork behind her easily enough. That, and smooth the face some too. The other can be sharpened up. I left it that way this time to get a softer, more pastel kind of feel.
I may change the background on the second one anyway, since that scrollwork is just there to fill in the empty space on the left.

Ahhh I see I see. I didn't know if you were going for that kind of an effect on the first one or not. I thought it could have just been because the screenshot or the picture you got the base material from was fuzzy/blurry.... now that I know it's deliberate it seems to work, although perhaps one where we get more of her face while still retaining the profile view? Perhaps instead of having her look up, have her stare straight ahead? *shrugs* I guess it's just a matter of taste, although I love the background in the top one....

That was cropped and resized from existing art. I probably could grab that background, which is a nebula or energy field of some kind in the original. Lot of work, though, and others may like it as is.

Yeah, like I said, it's just a matter of personal tastes for me *shrugs* It looks nice, perhaps sharpen it just a pinch.... or it could just be my poor screen res.... meh.

This probably my favourite of the Moon Queen pics so far. I like the background and the contrast of the gold crescent moon on the black and white image.
Just wondering, has either Migele or Truk been at all active lately? Because either of those - if about - would certainly deserve a nomination.

I prefer the two scroll work pics as well. The white one has the nice simple tone contrast going for it. While the black one has the richer color. They also have the advantage of having the moon symbol being the most prominent.
