a funny idea for patron "shoutouts" (Patreon)

hey all;

if you're a viewer of my stream you may be familiar with my layout containing an AIM "buddy list" window in the background complete with rotating advertisements.

i thought it would be fun to open up submissions from $4+ patrons. images get displayed randomly and for about 10 seconds at a time. i'll leave the images in rotation until you ask me to take them down or until uhhh idk i change stream layouts, but i would like to keep them around for some time.

i would like to establish some ground rules:

• 120x60 pixels. GIF or PNG are fine, GIF can be animated.

• i will NOT edit your graphics for you. it has to be ready to go upon my receiving it.

• no gore, nothing too suggestive.

• no rapid flashing if it's a GIF.

• probably shouldn't just be a picture of your OC. be creative. have fun.

• can NOT contain a URL. this is a security risk and i won't be checking URLs constantly to make sure things are OK.

• don't use stuff by other artists in the image. make sure you have the rights for what you're using

• an exception to some of the above rules may be granted (see: submitting actual old AIM advertisements for me to use, referencing other stuff, etc)

i reserve the right to turn down any submissions.

i've attached a screenshot of my current stream layout as well as a bunch of the ads i currently have in rotation as examples.

you can drop submissions below in the form of links (imgur, etc), you can email them to me (emma@halleylabs.com) with your patreon username included so i can cross check it, or you can send it to me via patreon message.
