I read the first volume of bleach, but never got the second, and i'll tell you why. i can't read Chinese, and volume 7 in english hasn't come out yet. i promised not to get anything else until Naruto vol. 7 comes out. that's how much i want it. xD whatever, that's off-topic. i really like your banner, but perhaps give us more looking time at each part of the animation. i'd like to see the detail on it. ^^ your avatar i can see part of what was on the banner, except it looks harder on the darkness and light, which is a good effect if you're trying to take part of the banner off and make it an avatar. good job is all else i can say. ^^
LatiosLover - this is a graphics thread, not a sprite thread. try Home of the Sprites if you want to be commented upon. ^^
EDIT: i've been asked this constantly... if this is for rating graphics, why do Nic and I and everyone make new threads? i'll tell you why. this thread was intented for aspiring artists who wanted to know how good they can get. for example, poke munna probably could make threads for his graphics now; he/she is very good. i forgot your gender, munna. *rubs chin* anyway, if you think you're ready, go ahead and make threads instead of posting here. we're trusting your judgement, but not if you're worse than you say you are. *cough*
