  • I thought I'd make a showcase just for fun and to see other peoples opinions on what I can improve on. :P

    Showcase time! Akari style~

    1. Nero banner; I recently made it~ <3 DMC = love.

    2. Haruhi banner; I liked this picture so I thought I'd make it into a banner.

    3. Zero banner; made with a tutorial I found.

    8. Kallen Banner; this was before I started to blend pictures into the background, since I didn't know how.

  • :O They dont get any better than that :O

    My favorite in this showcase is four...
    I really like your style kinda like how it's well made, it's perfect really in my opinion.

    The text on 1,5 and the others is well placed and made[/placed?] and I just like all of it, if I had to make any flaws which is kinda hard for me to spot in this bunch, gosh I just don't know what's bad here, sorry. I guess I wish I could see more borders like 9's on 5's I guess.

    All in all, some of the best banners I've seen. These are just perfect.

    Incredible and Perfect showcase ;D If you had a shop, i'd be there! O.O

  • Hey Akari, why don't you put your Ocean Rider, entry for the SOTW, up there? As I thought that was quite excellent ;D

    Once again, great showcase of amazing talent ;D

    I LOVE THEM <3 Akari, you are very, very talented! Banners 4 and 6 are my favorite. They look great and the text goes well with them.

    Excellent work, keep it up :D!

  • You know, it's seeing art like this that really makes me want to get into graphic design. The one that stuck out most to me was number 9, mainly because you barely see any green banners on this forum and the colors you chose are amazing. You should open a shop.

  • Wow. So many replies. XD

    But thanks for the comments everyone. :D

    I was going to open a shop, but I don't really have the time right now, so I might later. :x

    BeachBoy; I was going to put the SOTW banner but I guess I'll save that for my next showcase.

    Chikara; I use photoshop. :3


    Hazuki; I have plenty more Lulu banners then that one. <3

    Wow, your pretty good now BUT NOT AS GOOD AS ME

    I remember that Lulu banner xP, and you have come a long way from it. textures, gradient maps, just everything you learnt to do has improved your banners greatly. Your Brushing is probably the best i have ever seen, your better with your brushes than alot of people. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK XD.

    Ah, this is a very nice gallery ^^

    The effects on most of them are nice, and they're appealing to look at. Very nice usage of brushes as well. Work on colours, though. Some of them are looking a bit too bright. I do like how you can use scan lines so easily, and make it work well with the banners~
