Suggestion: Lets Play.Yogscast

The Yogscast really isn't just "Xephos and Honeydew (and sometimes Lomadia)", but since several members have their own channels with a sizable subscriber base of their own, this is even more obvious.

I'm wondering if something from deviantART of Teutron (who drew several Yogscast YouTube backgrounds and channel thumbnails, so probably counts as "official") would fit a good crowd shot of the Yogscast crew. However, because there's so many of them, they might look a bit indistinct at the maximum width.

Still, this or this is my suggestion.

While Xephos and Honeydew certainly aren't the only members, they're definitely the most iconic members. You have to remember that their videos started with Simon and Lewis, essentially making them the oldest members. Not literally, of course.

I guess part of the question here would have to be if this is meant as more of a page about the entire Yogscast, or just Simon and Lewis.

I personally think that while the Yogscast's Minecraft page may be more about Simon and Lewis, the Yogscast in general is a team-based entity. An image that reflects that sounds good to me. This is my humble suggestion, though the OP's were good too. 1◊

I fixed the link; you can't hotlink in the forums. I don't think that would work at wiki size (max 350 px wide).

I found a illustration that is drawn by the person that does their Youtube pages.

It may be slightly wide but I'm sure that someone should know, and I say this lightly, should know some Photoshop magic to made it skinnier.

Both of those were linked in the OP.

Clock is set. I'd have to see both of the suggestions at wiki size to make a call on whether they'd work.

1, 2: My suggestions:

3: Literary Muse's: (Not 100% of the super-deformed style representing them, but they're about easy to make out than the more "realistically" proportioned ones despite being smaller and they are representations of Minecraft).

I think I prefer 1 > 2 > 3.

2 > 1 > 3 for me, mainly because 1 seems to have artifacted a lot in the resize.

Here's a better resize of 1...with this, I'll go 1 > 2 > 3

Bump; any other thoughts? Considering the amount of size reduction that's been done on these pics, is permission a concern at this point?

Isn't it essentially a promotional image meant for just about this sort of thing?

I can't access dA right now, but if those were made for promotional purposes then we should be clear on usage.

Looking it up, it doesn't say that's specifically for that usage, but the artist is the official Yogscast artist. So I'm not really sure.

The elements of 1 are basically the same as on yogscast.com and twitch.tv/yogscast's backgrounds, they're just placed differently, so I'd say it's promotional?

You know, it's not enough to worry about. 1 is up and tagged.

EDIT: I've added the cast list from the dA pic's comments and put the link to the full pic in the caption. Locking up.
