CME;; I love the effects :o They look really nice, and I love how the bottom half of the render smoothly blends with the background. The text is nicely placed, and the font you chose looks really lovely. The scanlines are just transparent enough so that the background doesn't stand out too much. I like the use of a space stock for the stars and stuff, and it makes the whole thing more magical-ish o____o. However, I can see some vector brushing that stands out a bit too much at the sides of the banner, and the top half of the render seems a bit dark, especially her face. Oh, and I like the colours :3
Xenocrates;; Darker one for the win! xD But really, the newer version looks better, in my opinion. The usage of light textures looks to be more controlled on the new version, since the brightness is down a bit. The text is awesome, as with most of your graphics, and everything looks nice and colourful. And it looks better without that light texture over his elbow, since it's less distracting.
Acendo;; I like it :D The soft tones and colours you used really looks great, and the text looks very nice as well. The whole simplicity of the banner is good, since I don't think that much more could be done to that without making it look too cluttered. Also, I like the depth of the banner, with the fingers visible in the background. It looks quite simple, but it's quite appealing to look at. But I think, in comparison to the rest of the banner, the text stands out a bit too much, since it has sharp lines which don't go well with the smooth lines of the stock.
evilcheese;; ...The image needs to blend a bit. The fact that the background is green-ish, whereas the Sharpedo image is dark blue. I'm not saying that it should be completely monotone, but I think that there needs to be something in the background to match the colour of the render. The spatters are okay, but seem to be just a bit over-excessive. The text is a bit too small, and the font used is too, er, boring. Some lighting would look nice also. This definitely isn't your best banner as of yet.
MasterDookie;; Black and white seems a bit boring here. And I don't like how the sprite looks quite faded/blurred, almost like there's soft brushing over it. The background effects are quite cool, however I don't think they match with the sprite. I have no idea how to describe it, but basically, the sprite looks odd, almost misplaced. The text needs a bit of work as well, since it looks like it's just floating there.
Demidian;; The second version is somewhat better. Although the text is still distracting D: The wave filter on a duplicate of the text doesn't really help, either. It's almost like the tip of his sword stands out more than Ichigo himself. Try to place the focus on his face instead. The glowy orbs are interesting, almost like debris from something he just cut apart, but maybe tone it down a bit. But the background is quite good. The banner needs lighting, though.
