You're getting the hange of it, Myokai.
I see the big star in the background. If you use gimp, does it have blending? If so, you should try blending the image. It helps :) Could someone rate my current theme? |
@myoki - getting a little bored of the same render like i think i said before you might need to use a diffrent background as well
http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc3/chimchar59/fire-fight.jpg made this for someone yesterday. |
Nice effects. I don't like the odd sources of light and the font though.
My latest: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x33/TheDookieIsComing/Lucariosig.png |
Master Dookie; Hm, I don't really like the sprite. D:
The splatters look kind of odd as well, you should've used a soft brush eraser to make them sort of 'fade' like the red, because it looks like they were pasted on.... I like the red and monochrome colors in the background as well, but as a whole banner, I don't like it because the sprite is just... I don't like sprites in banners. xD;; And it's just so small and pixelly that it really throws off the balance of the smooth brushes. I finally got over my stall in graphics. xD; And I'm really pleased with the way this turned out. <3 Kinda went overboard with the light textures, but oh well. xD |
@ evilcheese: That is a very interesting, but good banner. One thing I really dont love though is what Master Dookie also said, the lighting sources are kind of odd. Try making it a little more centralized. The other thing I don't really love is the random oval in the top middle of the sig, behind the text. Other wise the sig is very good. Keep it up! :P
@ Master Dookie: I dont really like the sprite in this sig. For some reason it looks like it is glowing black. I dunno that just doesn't apeal to me. Other than that, I pretty much like the sig. I like the black, and chrome (silver, grey?) effects you have behind the light and sprite. @ Xenocrates: Wowie, thats great! I love everything about it, except like you pointed out the vast amount of light textures. But still that really doesn't effect my opinion about the banner itself (its awesome). I love the render, and the city bg. Also the lighting is exceptional. Great Job! This is some stuff I made: http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k284/andytoe/HiroNAkamura.jpg http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k284/andytoe/CristalChoronicals.jpg |
Actually it's just a stock. xD; It's not a BG and render, it's all one thing.
*fish'd* But thank you. xD; I'm glad you like it~ |
@El Capitano: I like the Hiro Nakamura, except the red lines look a bit too grainy. 9.8 The Cristal Chronicals one, well. I don't like it. It seems a bit too blurry and random. The text doesn't really match either. You could add a few effects to it. 7.8 @Xenocrates: I would sooo love your sig, but it seems a bit too bright. There's so much stuff on the sig. It looks like it's crammed. But overall 8.5 :] [edit] Sorry trying to post picture, it wont let me. This is after my 'hiatus' on 'graphics.' First thing in a year? http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/2487/acendo1ki6.png |
@ Xenocrates: Wow, that's awespme. I shouldn't be suprised.
You're such a good graphics artist. I love it. Nice job :) @ El Capitino: For the first one: It's pretty bland. Its pretty good tho. Add sme more stuff to it. . The second one, its better. The theme you made now showes you can do way better than that ;D @ Acendo: I like the deisgn. Its cool. I might not even mind using it. The dashed border circles are a ncie touch. I have created an icon. Please rate. http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/Stardust909/Avatar.png |
@Xenocrates - I SPY APPENDIXSQUARED! XD I really like this a lot, but the light just below Vaan's right elbow is teh uber bright. Turn it down, prz. : D Light textures are always nice. :3 I'd move that yellow light texture on Vaan's left arm somewhere else to the left, since it's quite distracting where it is right now.
@Capitano - The Heroes one is nice, but it's really empty on the left. The lineart sticks out way too much and draws the focus away from the stock. The render on the top left is also really choppy alone the edges. It would look better textless. On the other one, it's too much gradient map going on. Also, the duplication of his eyes on the right aren't working. The blurring on his hand looks iffy and the light source is way too bright. @Acendo - I really like the left side a lot, although the blue strip in the back is bothersome. The white circles need to go, and the pink cloud as well. If you could make the whole thing like the left side, it would be really cool. @Mizt - The icon is really cloudy. Plus it's all one color. I generally like icons to be bright and flashy but that's just me. xD The colors are really washed out, too. ): Please rate my stuff. I put a lot of time and effort into these things only to get them passed over. It's hurtful and disrespectful. So, repost: http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/3012/fromthebeginning2rb5.png |
@CME - pretty colors i love it i think there are only 3 things i would recomend. maybe soft brushing around the hair cus i think there is a little pixel junk, 2 maybe make the scanlines smaller, and 3 that line in the middle is weird i would soft brush that a little.
http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc3/chimchar59/sharpedo2.jpg why do i get the feeling that azonic might like this? |
CME; Gah, sorry. ;; I'll try to rate your graphics right away so I don't forget. </3
Anyway, I absolutely love the text and scanlines. The scanlines really give the background a little more definition, but the render is a little too dark for my tastes. Like, the skin, I guess...? The abstract and sort of icy look at the bottom is great, and really does an awesome job of blending the render. I don't really like that bulls-eye brush on the left that looks like it has an outer glow or something on it, because it's kind of... out of place? I don't know. xD; Maybe it's because it sticks out a lot. The space/starry look at the top is really nice as well. ^^ Acendo; The dotted circles are awesome. :O I like how there's no specific... thing in the banner. It's just all graphical stuff. The splatters on the left are a little too contrasting to the big blur of color on the right for me, but I do like them very very much. Color choices are perfect. I think without the distracting cloud over the right, it'd be an awesome piece. <3 Not that it isn't already. xD It'd be awesome-er. evilcheese; Well, I like the desaturated look. Buuut, I don't really like abstract background. It's too broken up, too contrasting, it's just a little overboard in general. The light... thing... on the bottom left is... bad. :/ It's not a convincing source and it looks like it's just there to make the text show up, which is... not what I would use lighting for. (Lighting is usually to bring a little more attention to your focus, and text doesn't seem to be the focus in this banner.) I don't really like the font either. x_x Well, I like every part of the font except for the 'S'. <_<; I don't really like the flecks of... stuff... on Sharpedo either. I think that Sharpedo kind of matches the contrasting abstract background, so I don't think too much blending would be necessary for this banner. Maybe a soft brush erase job on the right end of Sharpedo would be enough. I think you've had better banners in the past. ---- I tried to make it a little darker, and got rid of the brushing. :O Does it look better? http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/EvileBell/Vaan2copy2.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v243/Kaiyoseila/Vaan2copy.png edit; Here, side-by-side for comparison! *FISH'd* |
@Color Me Evil: I can't find anything wrong with that last piece. The only thing that bugs me is that her face is a bit too dark. :D good job. @evilcheese: Overall it looks great, the text can be better though. And it can be less bright, it seems too sharpened. Xenocrates: For me it looks way better. But liked that shine at the bottom of his left elbow. xD GAH My psd disappeared for the last sig i posted. >_> So I made different one. xD http://i32.*.com/2zgemnm.png |
@xenocrates - thanks for the advice. anyway i like the darker one better cus the lighter one looks a little too bright. also the text i think should just stay one color. oh and maybe add a yellow orb thingy.
EDIT: you posted before me >.< @acendo - the text is nice but the finger is well how can i put this scary? just tone it down a little oh and the side thing annoys me and the resoulution aswell. http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc3/chimchar59/sharpedo2-1.png fixed up a little or a alot |
Evilcheese;;Wow, that looks alot better, are you sure you didnt just start a new banner altogether? It might just be me, but i think theres abit too much splatters there, and you could've tried to blend sharpedo in a bit more,and the beige colour (it might not be beige, i just felt like saying beige, its closest to beige anyway :P) doesnt really blend him in, maybe a more desatruated blue? anyways 9/10,
Everybodys;; YAYS! i had the time to make a banner, i know its a bit dark, and i didnt choose the best border, (or text) but i like it, http://i28.*.com/6nqqti.png |
A pretty good banner, nice effects. The font for the text annoys me though, it drives my attention away from the stock.
My latest: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x33/TheDookieIsComing/FFVBannercopy.png I hate it. I wish I didn't suck *Sigh* Oh well. |
Masterdookie;; Overall i think it is a good banner, though like xenocrates i absolutely hate sprites in banners, but your effects are good, but i dont like the whole dark grey thing, 8/10
Everybody;; Just incase people are blind here is my banner again and im editing it so just wait http://i28.*.com/6nqqti.png http://i26.*.com/2mhwhh4.png here is the edited text one, and a little fix up in other places, |
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. |
Demidian: I actully like the white text one. its better.
|
It seems like the rating were covered by Shiranui, I thought almost exactly the same things she did, so yay \o/
OKAY for this, I planned on trying something new, but then old habits took over and bleh ._. But here it is: http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c369/Teresa113/5y7bw6357y3w65776.png plainplainplain. I know XD; I tried adding some stuff with different colors but it looked goofy so I didn't :P |
@Chikara: I lurv this one so much. He stands out so much, but blends with the background too. I really think it could use rounded edges, and it would look awesome. And with the rounded edges a somewhat thick black border might look nice. Maybe just a little bit of text is needed too, but I'm not sure. Not really a user name though. Something creative. Other than that it's really awesome. <3
Okay, I have two outcomes. One is with a rusty texture the other is not. Without http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj223/Relyt-kun/Soracopy.png?t=1201561685 With http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj223/Relyt-kun/Soracopyrust.png I'd like both rated, and what one I should use for a theme, please and thank you. :D EDIT: And then there's a third one which is in my current signature, and has a light texture in the bottom left. |
@Relyt - i dont really see the texture. anyway its a decent grahpic. i dont really have much to say since it doesnt have too many affects. only the border is kinda weird but ok. oh and the top sides need well transperency.
http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc3/chimchar59/renji.png i gave up on the sharpedo one. i know the text is horrible. can someone suggest something like outer glow? |
Evilcheese;; THERES TEXT THERE? O.O?????, i cant see any text what so ever, but the banner is really nice, i like the feather you've used on Renji, and the brushes you used are just AWESOME!,and you've put lighting in there as well, unlike me (i really need to use a banner with lighting) 9/10! EXCELLENT JOB!
Edit: Omg, now i see the text, and yeah you need to change that, this sounds pretty bad but how about a Maroon coloured text with a 2 pixel stroke of black? actually that does sound pretty bad, but try it any way. |
@evilcheese: You might want to put the lighting in a more appropriate place. Having a random light in the signature looks odd. Try putting it on Renji's sword, and not off away from the main focus. Good work though. :D
|
evilcheese; Basically what Relyt and Demidian said. My reaction was the same as Demidians; "There's text?! o_O"
I'm currently opening up photoshop to see if I can figure out where the text is. I will return to you with the verdict shortly. Also, in response to your comment about the text on the FFXII banner; "Solid text is boring. D:" edit; I SPY SOME TEXT LOLZ. Yeah that's nawt good. D: I thought the text was the blob of black on the opposite corner of the banner. <_< So the text is the only thing I'm going to comment on. Because its the biggest thing that pops out at me that needs work, other than the lighting. |
It's got great detail and I can tell it took a while to make but it's a bit hard for me to see the smaller text but it blends in and that's a good thing as long as it's able to be seen.
|
@xenocrates - wow i love the banner. i mean the scanlines, text and everyting its all cool. dont know about the render though might need a resize.
@Shadow dragon - they are all pretty good. kind of plain but good. i dont have to complain about the text well i cant really say much about them since their on a small scale. http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc3/chimchar59/naruto3.png need help for my theme. |
Good evilcheese although i kinda noticed you seem to always place the light source away from the render, distracted the eyes. A good spot would be behind his head.
I made a smudge sig ... but i preffered the avatar than i did the sig... http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/8522/ichigosmudgesigcopyvl3.png |
Xenocrates;; Light textures, woot! Actually, I'm kind of half-half on the light textures there. It just seems to be a bit too much, for me anyway. But it adds a pretty cool effect, and it makes the banner stand out from the rest, sort of. The background looks really nice (was it smudged, or...?), the scanlines are a nice touch, and are just barely visible, which is good. I don't want to comment on the text, since it makes me cry, in a good way D: However, I think the banner needs a bit of depth, since it looks a little bit flat at the moment. But other than that, it's a lovely banner.
Shadow Dragon;; The quality of the last two icons compared to the first three seems a bit... suspicious. Anyway, based on the graphics and not the text in it, the last two are definitely the best. Although simple, the last two are more pleasing to look at. Especially the last one, since it has colour. The first three look really pixelated. Maybe you saved them as JPEG? The colours used on the third one also seem to be the default Paint colours. As for text content, they are really random o.o Then again, that's a good thing, for icons anyway. The non-capitalised i's on the second one makes me cringe. evilcheese;; What help do you need? The banner looks alright so far. I don't think it needs any text or anything like that. The light source is really badly placed, though. As BreD has suggested, try placing it closer to the render. Right now, it looks like a giant orb that has appeared from nowhere, and it draws most of the attention. There's also little bits in the background which is a bit too bright. Other than the lighting, there's really nothing else that needs work. BreD;; I like the smudging~ The orange-y colours are nice, too. I think the text needs a little bit of work, though. And there's this brown-ish blob at the bottom right corner of the banner, which looks kind of strange. Other than that, I don't have any major complaints. The hair does look a tiny bit too bright, though... --- http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/3770/aquanoborderhb4.png I got bored. |
Shiranui;; I ABSOLUTLEY JUST WANT TO BURN YOUR BANNERS BECAUSE THAT MAKE MINE LOOK n00b!!! anyways, i love your smudge banners, the smudging in this banner is really good, and i love the text,the render blends in wonderfully, i think every thing about it is great 10/10! (my first 10/10 rating xD)
--- Anyways heres my new banner, i was going to use a clipping mask with some splatter brushes but i just left it, tell me if you think i should use the clipping mask, xD: http://img49.imageshack.us/img49/2600/ishidabanner3ec0.png |
@ BreD: Wow, I'm not suprised you're not using that banner, its great!
I like the text placment and smudging, the background goes with the render perfectly! I wish I knew how to smudging :( @ Shiranui: I AGREE WITH DEMIDIAN,I LOOK LIKE A NOOB! I have a long way to go... That banners great! The text, the background, even the renderz! @ Demidian: Try not to use the select border, no.1. No.2 is, no, don't do the clipping mask. There's a lot of stuff going on. I agree with this spongebob squarpants show quote: Quote:
|
Demidian:It looks good, but as мizt said, there's way too much going on. Blend some of the C4s, I guess.
Shiranui:Looks awesome. Only thing wrong is that it could use a border. мizt:The white looks kinda dirty, too much black-grey. I'd rate it about 8.1/10. I really like how this turned out. http://i26.*.com/2v1qhdv.jpg Rates, please? Or at least comments. |
@myoki - it looks pretty empty. there are a couple of things you can do like a clipping mask, c4ds, etc. oh and the render is blurry.
http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc3/chimchar59/kiba.png not like i like yugioh but i looked at the renders thread and got it. im running out of renders. |
evilcheese; Oho. This looks way better than what I did with it. xD *Ah, the good old days when I was still un-lazy enough to render my own images.*
Well first off, I'm glad you were able to find a use for it! :D Secondly, the blue eyes white dragon in the back is very nice, blended smoothly and it looks really cool in general. But, Kaiba sticks out like a sore thumb. A very very sore thumb. And then, what... is that yellowish splotch on his hand? o_O And the yellow ones on his right shoulder? Yeah, those need to be erased. :< They really don't help blend in any possible way. Instead, you should've tried to blend him in with a sort of abstract smudging type thing. The color scheme is good though. The border is somewhat acceptable, but it's definitely not... incredible. xD; It's a good turn out though. :B Next thing you should try out is rendering something yourself, if you're running out. xD; Myokai; Er... ouch. :/ That's a few steps back from your last Fai banner. Well, first off, I'll tell you that I don't really mind you using the same concept over and over. But the flat colors, the low saturation, the same backgrounds, now THOSE are getting boring. He's kind of blurry, which is incredibly weird. The stars are way blended in, and as far as I'm concerned, the background might as well be a solid lavender color with scanlines over it. :/ The background is too modest, too subtle. You have the opposite problem that evilcheese and Demidian have. Put some spice into it! D: Fai isn't THAT flat of a character! He's dynamic! xD Right, back to the subject at hand. The border is definitely not... okay. x_x; The selection just doesn't fit here, it would've been better if you'd just kept the whole thing 1 px and solid, or just not made a border at all, since you're using CSS in your sig anyway. Because I really like the word CME used, this is a good example of "Floating-Head-Syndrome" or whatever it was. xD; You should resize it, maybe move his head up a little more. His hair isn't very important. You should try a few other types of renders though. It might help you improve? Shiranui; My momentum. ;; Nah, that's getting pretty old, so I'm not going to rant about that. xD; But honestly, you beat me to everything! xD *couldn't find a good picture of the second secret ending anywhere!* Regardless, it is absolutely excellent. You say stuff about my text skills, but I'd trade you any day. :< The color and positioning of the text is amazing, and the cloudy look on the text is excellent. I do think it's kind of odd that the sort of sharp looking cloudy smudging just ends once it reaches the render and leaves the other side just gray. I think you could've continued a little so that it looked like it was floating up or something? *I don't know if what I'm saying makes sense.* I think those little grayish orby things should be turned up just a slight tad on the right. :< Like, not all of them, just the ones furthest away from him, so they don't look like strange blemishes. xD;; It's a fabulous banner though. :3 I like this one~ <3 Mizt; I think it looks excellent. o_o Maybe it's the text. I really really like the text. In my opinion, this is one of the best banners I've seen from you. But then again, I've always been kind of partial to solid brush banners. :B *fishfish'd* Either way, I love the brushes, and did I mention I love the text? The spacing and decorations are perfect. The dotted line on the right fits alright, but it's a bit too dark compared to the rest of it. Maybe lower it's opacity a bit so that it's a little grayer. Same goes for the border. A lighter border would match much more nicely. Anyway, the monotone colored background really helps the render catch some focus. And the colors! o_o There's a texture on the render, isn't there? I like it's effect! Syaoran could've been moved a little more to the right, along with everything else to his right, but eh. It's not a major issue. Good job on this one. :3 It's not crappy at all. Demidian; I'm just seeing familiar renders all over the place today. :B Although I can't really say the same about this banner as I did with evilcheese's. I don't really like it. xD; The weird bluish-gray things are... well, they stick out more than the render. It would've been cool if you'd put Ishida's left arm over the blue... streak... thing. It would've given it some really cool depth. But regardless, I just really don't like the effects. The de-saturation is alright, but the brushing on the left and the circular diffusion looking thing on the right just don't look right at all. :< I don't know about the border either. It's a little too thick. Maybe cut off the border on the sides for a widescreen look? Replying to comments on my La Corda Banner; Wow. I'm so happy that it looks alright. ;; *Last attempt failed miserably, but that was awhile ago, I guess...* Depth. ;; I tried a little of that, but I guess I still gotta work on that. I have a little of an idea how to go about it, but I probably won't be applying it for awhile. Whai, yush, that is smudging. :3 Five layers of it, I'd say. *fish'd* I'm glad you like the text though, it took forever. xD; It was unreadable in some parts and too bright in others and in the end I had to change that entire corner just for the text. *fish'd* Too many light textures? :O *I even tried to tone it down this time, hurrr* I guess I'm just excited how much light textures help. xD; Gotta get through this freaky phase. --- I'll come back with a really really crappy BLEACH wallpaper in just a second. It's like, amazingly horrible, but I had to execute the idea, and I kind of want to know whether it's just me that thinks it's plain bad. edit-ching;; K here it is. :< BLEACH, Rukia Ichigo "MOVE ON" Wallpaper, 1024 x 768 btw, the perspective tool killed the text. <_< I know it's pixellated and fugly. And I just remembered I want a rating on a few really old banners of mine. You really don't have to rate them if you don't want to. xD; I'd prefer a rating on the wallpaper anyway. http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/EvileBell/lines.png http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h88/EvileBell/shinjiblue.png |
xenocrates;;First banner: simple yet complex :P, thats my brief explanation of it, but ill explain some more xD, the splatter brushes all are good, and your render stands out,(which i think is good in this case), but those swords or crystals(the blue things) distract me, other than that i like it 9/10 ---- Second banner:this one is alot better than the first he blends really well in the background, and the diagonal lines are really cool :P,the brushing is nice, and i like the shadow you put in the top right and bottom left corner, and i see for the border you made one side light then the other one dark, NICE JOB! xD 10/10
heres a tag i made i was bored, it was made from shiranui's splatter tut, i converted it to gimp, i dont like it at all (by that i mean i dont like my outcome, but shiranui YOUR TUT IS AWESOME) --edit: gots a new banner http://img352.imageshack.us/img352/7619/rukiasplattertagaq5.png http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/3614/lelouchtaglj8.png |
@ evilcheese: The texture and render fit perfectly, as alwasys ;P
I'm not a big fan of you-gi-oh, either. I really like the way you use scanlines, nice job. @ Xenocrates: I'm scared just thinking abut rating a mod... Kidding! :D The wallpaper, is great. I love the circle and the move on text. The shadow on the renders are a nice touch The first banner is scary just thinking you used to be as bad as us *gasps* lol. The splatters are good, and the render fits in well. 2nd banner, that one i think was urs. I like the splatters and colors a lot And the border is cool ;D @ Demidian: For your first one. big improvment. New border, lighting, everything. It's great. The splatter brush set on dissolve(i think) and the clipping mask. *claps* Nice job. About your second one... Its AWESOME! Add more stuff and would be great! nice! Is that render pixel art or manga? @ ME:First of all, thank you Xenocrates for the nice cmments. I appreciate it ^^ Also, I did add sort of a texture. But I cut it to make it blend in only with the render. At first I was trying that clipping mask tut from BreD, but It didn't work, so I tryed somthing different, but with the same idea. The text? I like it too. ------------- After seeing Xenocrate's wallpaper, I couldn't ake it anymore, so I made one BLEACH Wallpaper, Blizzard (1024x678) And also this, I found the render and loved it, so I had to make a banner ^^ http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z227/ataylan/PKFIREBANNER.png |
@xenocrates - thanks for the advice. yours are all cool. but the first banner looks oversplattered and the render is blurry. i use sharpen when i have blurry renders. oh and i know how to render like i did with this one:
http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc3/chimchar59/aipom4.png @Demidian - wow i cant believe how better youve goten. those are both good the splatter one's light source is weird though this was my result for that tutorial: http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc3/chimchar59/regirosck.gif @Mizt - the banner is uh weird. the render is much too small for such a wide canvas. i would make it longer and thinner if ya know what i mean. the text is good. but the things overlapping the render aren't please rate both if you have the time. |
You forgot to rate the wallpaper ^^
@ evilcheese: Borders are essanctial! There's really to much going on on the right and its pretty plain. The 2nd one is better. The colors are good and I see the use of shiranui's tut ;D |
i dont have to rate all of them.
oh well nobody is posting so ill post an old one: http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc3/chimchar59/omg2.gif it was a request. i know its kind of oversmudged. |
@mizt: I guess i'll rate the one in your sig....
It's pretty nice, I like how you got rid of the distracting blue streak and turned it into a slightly less distracting white streak. :P Well made though, I like it. http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x33/TheDookieIsComing/SlimShady.png Ugh, shoot me. D: Just playing around with PS. And BTW, it's black and white for two reasons. 1: The stock was black and white. and 2:The C4Ds were different colors, it would have look messy and bad. |
MasterDookie: Nice :O
My only problems with it is the render (you can see a white line on the left side of the face) and the lack of color. I've never seen other things by you so I can't rank you out of 10, but nice work ^-^ And can someone please rate this?: http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c369/Teresa113/ry87n836u7w416u.png |
@masterdookie - you didnt rate mine >.<
@chikara - the render sticks out like a sore thumb (as xenocrates said on one of my banners look above). some soft brushing around the render or even smudging around or behind would get rid of that. the light source is coo. and the text and background are good http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc3/chimchar59/sasuke5-1.jpg rendered myself |
Sorry, I was still typing it when you posted. I'll rate that one. It's a nice sig with some cool effects, I liked that you rendered the image yourself. I don't really like the strong source of light though.
|
evilcheese; Yellow skin! D: Sasuke! Hurry! To the hospital!
Yeah I highly dislike it when the skin gets really yellow. That's what selective color layers are for people! D: The weird abstract-y texture-overlay thing really bugs me too. You should've erased over his face. The light source is really strong and blinding, and the background is pretty busy and distracting. I think it looks alright without a border though. --- Request by Aegis~ <3 plugplugplug; BLEACH, Rukia Ichigo "MOVE ON" Wallpaper, 1024 x 768 |
Xenocrates;; Ah, that banner is really nice <3 I like the soft tone of the colours, and the background is really nice, and simple. Although, I think that the effects to the right are slightly distracting, and I'm still wondering as to what that rectangle-ish thing under her arm is. Oh, and I think that the font for the text should be one of those thicker ones, since the current font looks a bit weird, to me anyway. Otherwise, it's a cute little banner, the kind that I can't make for some odd reason.
lul, kay, I won't comment on the text for the wallpaper. I like how it looks like Ichigo and Rukia are walking on the path with the text. The colours are nice, and the dot things stop it from looking too empty. One thing you could add, though, is some sort of effect that emphasises the depth of the wallpaper. It's simple, but perhaps too simple. Reply to the comments on my banner;; Thanks, all~ I didn't actually think that it was that good. But, whatever xD I was planning on adding a border to it, and I tried out a bunch of different styles, but nothing looked good on it, so I left it as it is. Also, it's a stock, not a render. I tend to be too lazy to render things out nowadays, or the renders I find are ones I can't use for some reason. I wanted to continue the cloud thing so that it's also there behind her, but, as always, I got lazy >.> Oh, and Aqua (the character in my banner) is a girl... o___o;; --- I keep on forgetting about this: Abstract, smudge, wallpaper-type thing. 1024 x 819 Yeah, yeah, I know it's taller than the normal wallpaper, but I couldn't be bothered to crop it at the end. |
Shiranui;; and still your smudging seems to amaze me, ITS THE BEST!!!!!! the flow of the fire (thats my interpretation) is great, and the colour is so vibrant, it is TRULY A MASTER PIECE xP 10/10 (second 10/10 and to you again :P)
well my friend makes UBER BANNERS xP, and i wanted to share one of them with you :P here is her Piece of art :P http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c197/KearahShadowProdukshunz/lelouchness.png |
I don't really have time to rate, so ill say this to demidian:
OMG THATS COOL! Rate (for my website/forums:) http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z227/ataylan/1111111111PokeKigdom.png |
Demidian: OMG IT'S SEXY LELOUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, I'm a Lulu fangirl. xD;;; I love the lighting effects in it, especiall the thunder thing around his arms. The background is awesome too! I just wish I knew how to do that. ^^ Anyways, I love it, especially since Lulu is on it.
Bro': You copied that from Sammi (I think). xD;;; But like I said, don't use textures for backgrounds, you make your own backgrounds. Textures are for texutres. |
Hazu-chan got to them...
As she said, guys XD; I'm not uploading this onto photobucket, thus my laziness, but this: http://intelligent-muffin.deviantart.com/art/Gundam-Strike-teh-original-76413721 Yay <3 It was made using the same style as my theme, but I like it so much better x.x |
Chikara;; I like the outcome on that one more too :D I guess it's because the starry effect and such fits a Gundam better than it fits Neku, eheh. Anyway, the only thing I can really say about it is that it lacks image blending~ There are some bits that blend, but the rest of it stands out from the background, which doesn't look too good. As I sort of (but not really) said before, I like the starry effects, and the blue stuff in the background adds to that 'space'-y effect.
--- Space wallpaper. 1024 x 768 Repost: Abstract, smudge, wallpaper-type thing. 1024 x 819 Rate one or the other, I really don't mind :3 Oh, and I used a tutorial for the first one. |
Ooh! Shiranui is a good Graphix maker person :DD;
I like the Space effects like the clouds and stuff ^_^ Did you use the wildfire one for your Ichigo banana? It looks familiar. 11/10~ for both. :D http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/5330/dahliahawthorneon2.png |
Shiranui: I love both backgrounds, the Space one especcially! 10/10
Ho-Oh Banner: http://www.pokemonvalley.eeveeshq.com/images/ho-oh.png Thanks ~Pikachu Trainer |
Fonts don't fit too well. I don't like the render. 8/10~
Well I feel sort of ignored T.T http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/5330/dahliahawthorneon2.pngRaaaate |
well the color scheme and flowers match it very well. the double render is uh idk not good. and the border is kinda weirdish i would use a diffrent color than white like maybe the render hair.
http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc3/chimchar59/badges.gif made it for the gym. |
PikachuTrainer;; Thanks for the comment on my wallpapers ^^ Your banner is nice and everything, but I agree with azonic, the render doesn't seem to match the rest of the banner. First of all, the background is way too blurry, which makes it difficult to see all the effects. Also, the render is really sharp in comparisson, so it stands out more than it should. The text needs some work, as well; the font is really quite boring, and again, doesn't match the banner. It also needs more, er, flow, as everything looks a bit jumbled up~ Although, the cool colours surprisingly don't look too bad with Ho-oh...
azonic;; Why thanks for your comment :3 And, no, I've never used my wildfire wallpaper for any banner. I don't really remember making many Ichigo themes for myself o___o -looks through Photobucket account- Oh, right. I think I found the banner you were talking about. Never mind :3 Anyway, the banner is pink! :D The flower and sparkle brushing seem appropriate enough, and so does the colour scheme. However, the colours of the render itself seems a bit grainy to me and it looks oversaturated. Her face looks quite blotchy in some areas, too. The opacity of the the repeat image seems to be a bit too strong, so it's almost like, "whoaomg. She has a twin!" The edges of the text is quite rough, but that isn't a big problem. A toned down colour for the text would look better, in my opinion, rather than bright highlighter pink. Oh, and the usage of of the selection border looks great ^^ evilcheese;; Ooh, cool background. It looks like... a fractal. I guess it helps with the extreme-ness of the 'Extreme Gym' o___o However, I simply do not like how the text, and all the little sprites stand out way too much, with the very prominent outer glow D: The complexity of the background colours simply don't match the much more simple-looking badge sprites. And text in the center looks pretty bad. Also, having six focals like that (if I'm thinking that the sprites are the focals) is kind of weird, so you don't really know which one you're supposed to pay attention to the most. If it was the text, then don't make the sprites stand out so much. --- Once again, I made it when I was bored: http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b39/Pikabloo/Forum%20Sets/lastremnant-1.png |
Shira-chan: The banner was well made, though... I think it's too plain. o______o
But, just like I always say. Do not trust me at banner rating thingy, I stink at those.... too. --- Okay, it has been many years since I touch my Photoshop, so this banner took 3 hours to make, really I'm not joking. Or I might be? Nah. It only took 2 hours. http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa48/Ryouki-kun/Themes/jigokushoujopng.png Yeah, I don't like the borders either, but I'll let that rate up to you. |
Ryo-kun: The banner doesn't look to bad. You could lower the lighting effects a little and the border, well, it's not my favorite. ><;;;; You could probably make the border like a widescreen. But overall it's really good. I love the image placement and the grunge background. ^^
Here are some requests for you guys to rate. http://img113.imageshack.us/img113/9779/mismaguisbannervb6.png This was for Mismaguis http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/9053/ashleybanneron0.png This is for Kazumi http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/7938/sabakunogaarabannerss7.png This is for Sabaku no Gaara http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g26/RenoOfDaTurks/trainerkatbannerya0.png This is for Trainer Kat Well? |
I guess i'll rate the one for Kazumi.
Im a real sucker for those simple banners, I just love them. It's kind of hard to see the stock though since it's so bright. Maybe you can make it stand out more. Here's a simple smudge banner I made in like, five minutes.... http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x33/TheDookieIsComing/HalfLife2.png |
MasterDookie;; It looks like... A floating head D:
Although, if it took you five minutes to do something like that, it's not too bad. I will try and not say that it is plain. The smudging is pretty cool, although there is no clear flow to the banner~ And don't smudge over the body so much, I don't like the look of a floating head o_____o I like the way the eyes sort of stand out from the shades of green, and they look like their glowing. The text is hard to read, although text position seems to be good. And, er, that's basically all I can really say. --- I made some changes to the last banner I posted: http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b39/Pikabloo/Forum%20Sets/lastremnant-2.png http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b39/Pikabloo/Forum%20Sets/lastremnantnotext.png Dah-dah-dah-daaaaaaah~ I made a version with text and without text, cause I'm feeling sort of half-half about it. |
Both are good, since there isn't much difference. I like them both- not much to critisize here. 10/10
Anyway, here's something I whipped up yesterday. I'm unsure of whether to use it as a theme or not. http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/hellisahandbasket/DEATH-1.jpg |
@ Shira-chan: I love it! The lighting effetcs, the colros, everything! *claps*
@ V.Valentine: Do you use photoshop? I say yes. Your current theme is very bland, I recemend changing it. |
|
@myokai - its a definate big improvement from your previous banners. nice job i see you have used my scanline tutorial which is good. the render is bigger so the banner doesnt looks as empty good. next thing you should try is blending and i dont just mean blending options. i mean smudging and soft brushing around the edges but overall good job.
|
Hoho, I haven't been here in a long time, have I? D:
Unfortunately, I'm only going to be rating the banners I like, but if I missed one you especially wanted rated, just point it out or something and I'll rate it next time, if I remember. xD Shiranui; *droolslobberslobber* Eet eez FA-BULOUS. (The most recent banner anyway. xD) Moving on, I really do like it. It's a nice switch from the swirly look that's been showing up a lot recently, and the sort of rusty color scheme is really nice. The lighting is amazing, as always, and I personally like the one with text better, simply because; GAWD YOUR TEXT SKILLS RAWK. The clouds really fit in this banner, blending is excellent, and everything looks awesome. ;3 Ryouki; OHSHIZNO THIS IS AN AWESOME BANNER DUDE! I really really like it. I like the lighting, I like the render, I like the placement, I like the background, lights, and color scheme in general. The border looks great in my opinion. :< I do think you have a bit of a tendency to make really long really stretched out banners, but that might be eccentuated by my facked-up res. xD; This is by far my favorite piece of yours. The text STILL needs a little work, and the banner would definitely have gone much better without it. xD; Maybe you should've tried a grungy sort of font and cranked down the opacity way low. Make the text a tad bit bigger if you're going to even have it or something like that. xD Really nice job though! <3 V.Valentine; Ohhh, if you maybe made it smaller, it'd be really prettiful. I like the monochromatic colors, and the render is an excellent blend. ;3 I liked the simplicity of your old theme. xD It was a really cute theme. I love how the border just fades off, it's a great touch. The scattered text on the right also helps it fill a bit of the emptiness, but... it's still pretty empty on the right. xD;; It's awesome how it ends with the render on the left, and overall, it's a nice piece of eyecandy. ;3 ----- Wow, now I just need to sit around and wait for a Mikuru request and I got all the main Haruhi girls down graphics-wise. xD Due to the fact that I would muuuuch prefer a rating on the Yuki Nagato banner, I'll put my secondary less-important banner to be rated in spoilers for all you crazies that don't read the post and just glance at the tag. </3 Made for Relyt/Kouyuu. Spoiler:
|
@xenocrates - it looks awsome! the dot things are cool and kinda weirdish. you might need to do some soft brushing around the focal point on the scanlines. and the border is weird too dont know about it.
http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc3/chimchar59/obito.jpg used shirauni's newest tuorials i was so happy to see it. gonna be my theme after i get good advice. yes i suck with text. im probably gonna add scanlines maybe a border. |
I think the one in your sig looks way better, but what I have to say about your banner is the same as your advice for mine. xD
Quote:
Complete with proper grammar! *FISH'd* xDD Just kidding. It's pretty good, definitely the best I've seen from you in my opinion. The text is, as always, either hard to read or too bright, and this time it's hard to read, but it's not as hard to read as usual, so yeah. I think it's a job well done. The key to this one is that there was no explicit blending required because the colors flow. Your focal point is a little too matchy matchy, you should definitely pick out a color wheel and try using colors that aren't apart of your render in your backgrounds. ^^ |
evilcheese:Looks really good, but the scanlines could be a bit more noticeable.
Xenocrates:They both look awesome, nice job. Can I have some more rates, please? |
Quote:
I don't like them, but they're better then all your fai banners, keep it up. @ Xenocrates: I just love the way you do your banners! Do you make them for your friends only? The one for relyt is good, I like the border. @ evilcheese: I really like that one. Its good. I like the background, the text, its very nice. I wanted to try a new style, so how about this: http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z227/ataylan/0maybanner.png (very plain i know) |
Kai: Yeah that's a little bit tooooo plain. xD The red background could have been better, and I mean, a LOT better. Like try a texture or something. ^^
http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/8584/tamakyobannerag1.png I just made this one a few minutes ago... xD;;; |
@kai. - agreed with hazuki too plain need a little for sizze.
@hazuki - i cant rate plain banners that good but the color scheme is awsome anyway. the text on the side is a no since you already have text. http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc3/chimchar59/spongebob2.jpg oh yeah, spongebob. use CME's cool tutorial and the site she used (appendix) and im quite happy with the outcome. |
evilcheese: ZOMG Finally someone made a spongebob banner!
It looks great, the brushes, everything! Aweosme job! ME: Leik, rate plz: http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z227/ataylan/drewbanner.png |
@Kai
I think it's a good attempt but you over saturated it. If you took away most of the effects on Drew's face and arm, then I think you got a pretty cute banner. http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/3416/coolpo9.png |
Utami;;Nice effects i gotta say, and the stock of those stairs are good, the text is alright, maybe some lighting?, but im not really sure if you should put some in, the only thing i have to comment on is the line with the chess board like pattern, for some reason my attention is drawn to that than the actual stock/render overall well done 9/10
--- banner...was bored...yeah...lol xD http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c197/KearahShadowProdukshunz/haruhi_rock.png --- http://i29.*.com/343kcv8.png had some time to make another banner, sad attempt for a smudge tag lol... |
@ Uryu: O looove the first one. Really nice job! The colors and text are cool, I love it!
@ ME:A request. http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z227/ataylan/TheRealAAA.png |
@utami - its a really good banner overall the stock matches very good with the pic. text and abstract are ok but the checkered thing is meh.
@Uryu - the first ones effects are nice. the scanlines flow in perfectly. but the sideways thing is not very good but ok i guess @(formaly known as Mizt) Kai. - the texture on ttar is a little too much i would lower it a little. the color scheme is weird cuz red + green. the box thing on the right has got to go. the star is a nice touch though. now for meh: http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc3/chimchar59/kankuro.jpg yeah light source is too much. and if you could rate my sig that would be good too. |
EVERYBODY YOU CAN STILL CALL ME DEMIDIAN IF YOU WANT :):)!!!!!
evilcheese;;yeah the lighting is a bit much, but it is a really good banner, i love how you used the c4ds and those splatter clipping masks, it all fits in really well xD 10/10 |
Xeno-san: Thankies. and FYI. I stink at text! Let alone banners. >[
Anyways, rating time. evilcheese: I love the c4d effect. (Or was it cd4? o_o) Though, I think that the text is kinda out of place (don't worry, I have that problem too.) and is that an arm in the light focus? i couldn't really see it. >_< --- I made it. It's horrible... Don't look. http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa48/Ryouki-kun/Themes/edwardelric.png ade it by the tutorial of Shira-chan. i copied everything. <333 |
I like it. It's abit monotone, but i like sigs like that :D
Hm... not much i can think to critisize on... but there could be more effects in the background it looks a tad bit plain in some places. I don't like the text much, but everyone always say my text suck xD http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/4162/misakinhksigcopyzz7.png Made this, and ye i know the render quality is bad... well there are no renders for that anime and there are hardly any pics of it... so i had to make do and render one of the best ones. (Hair on the left sucks) I've almost finished it... might add a few finishing touches later. |
Rating time~ o__o
Ryouki;; All the displacement effects seems to be concentrated on he left side of Edward's face (our right), whereas everywhere else in the banner, you can see a bit too much of the motion blurred background, which looks quite dull. As I have already told you, I think that the lighting is way too bright, although the positioning is quite good. I can't say I can really comment too much on the text, since it is a similar style to the one I used in the tutorial, but the font seems okay (still needs work, though), and you should make something different in the clipping mask. For example, I added that red soft brush spot. Overall, it's okay, but it's definitely not your best. BreD;; I will attempt to not comment on the render, then. The banner has nice flow and the lighting seems good. The front bit of the effects looks a bit over sharpened, though. But I like how it has depth, with the background effects being less sharpened than the front bit (or it just looks like that). Also, if you look at it for a while, the effects almost start to look monotone. Mix in some other colours maybe? Oh, and the text looks really weird. Try moving it somewhere else? Add something to the black, as well. It just looks really empty at the top left corner, even with the text there. |
1 Attachment(s)
Bred: WOW I really like the effects of what look to me like green leaves. I would love to know how that's done. the only thing I could say is maybe curve the welcom text a little more so that it lines up with the curve of the leaves. Job well done, mate!
ok so I was fiddling around in my spare time and created this text effect that I think looks very similar the the effect that was used on the title and credits of the movie Transformers. lemme know what you think. |
Sorry guys i want to rate yours, but im just on quick and i want an opinion on this banner
http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/9836/deathnotebannerzy3.png v1 http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/5894/deathnotebannerqx6.png v2 --- Want to see which one is better should i just add a border to the first one, or what ever? |
Gerri;; It looks pretty cool. I like the metallic texture. But it looks a bit too dull, so try and making it shinier :D And expand on the eclipse thing in the back (is it an eclipse thing) Also, maybe just add some of that worn-down metal look I can see on the S. I think it'd look pretty cool if it was on some of the other letters ^^
Ishida;; I prefer v1, yo. The scan lines on the second one look a bit distracting. Anywho, it looks like a really nice banner overall ^^ Is it smudge? Because I like it~ It has really nice colours, and the flow is good as well. The sparkly stuff is PURE WIN <3 Although, it looks to be a bit too heavy on some areas, and empty in others. The render/stock is really low quality, though. Also, there are some patches which seem to be way too bright. The left side of the banner looks quite empty, as well (text?). A border wouldn't be bad, I just don't know what kind would look good with it. So, yes, it really is quite nice. And it has L in it. Which makes it even better xD |
comments by shira-chan to my banner :P;; yes it is a smudge banner, i used a stock, i found a screen shot from death note and used that, so thats probably why it isnt that good of quality. i was thinking about some text, but im not real good with it, so ill try and find something to fit with it. I really stuffed up my lighting, it ended just looking like a patch of white =_. Anywho just if you didnt know, its demidian, i got Photoshop, because i thought it would help me improve alot more than gimp, well im gonna work on another banner (probably similar to this one, but not quite)
|
hiy guys, 2 banners to rate:P
http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg238/rowy95/IkeBanner.png i dont know what happened to the right border... http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg238/rowy95/Latiaspp.png some guys liked this, so i decided to post it here. raete please |
Poke'd (rowan/gimpuser/myoldstudent:P);;the first one is nice, good flow, noise, motion blue, every works out well, the text needs working on though 8/10. Second one is too dark, i can hardly see anything including the text, but good try blending the render 7/10.
--- http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/7795/assasinsbannerxf5.png Yeah It's a bit similar to the last one, just tried to do a bit more, and with better stock and some text, IMO its pretty much the same. Rate and Criticise Please. |
Poke'd: Those look really nice, I like them. The text could be a bit more noticeable, though.
Demidian: Looks cool, it all kinda flows together, the smudging adds nice texture, too. http://i28.*.com/20iwiv4.jpg http://i25.*.com/2lmbaio.jpg http://i30.*.com/2z589b9.jpg I kinda like how these turned out. |
ish rate the houndour.
@ Myokai: Not bad at all! the colors are fine, mabye blending the houndour render would work <3 I haven't made a banner for fun in a looong time xD http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z227/ataylan/midnabanner.png |
Kai.: wow, a LoZ banner! the text blends in, and... and, well its just pretty awesome!
Me, Myself and I: i love making banners http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg238/rowy95/toshirobanner.png i thought it turned out ok. |
Wow that looks really cool, the white slodges give the effect of lightning xD
http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii43/Mismagius/Mwahahamyfirstsigcopy.png Mine is REALLY BAD, it's my first on photoshop :), i don't know how to add a border!! :D |
@mismagius - its way better than my first try. its plain and nice its a good first banner. but the text is hard to read. dont worry ive been working with photoshop for almost a year and i am still bad at text.
@Poke'd - ah the filter effect are a little too much which gives the render bad quality. so i would tone that filter layer down a little. @myoki - Omg its suta ratio. anyways there basically the same things you've done before so yeah try something a little diffrent. well i would like to rate all of them but im too lazy and because i dont have a banner to be rated myself. i havent because there have been so many requests lately in my shop i dont have time for myself. EDIT: but i made one anyway: http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc3/chimchar59/heatran.png http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc3/chimchar59/heatran2.png or 2 versions of one to be exact. |
Ishida;; Ooh, this one looks better for some reason, in my opinion. I like the different colours in the smudged bit, but I think it needs a bit of work, since there's a bit too much areas of dull gray, and it is, well, dull. I do like how it looks like Altair is moving through the fog or cloud, though. The text is bad D: Take off the Xs, since an assassin is supposed to look threatening, and, well, the text doesn't really convey that too well. It also looks distracting, just stuck to his arm like that. As with the last one, the banner looks quite empty overall :| The light source also looks quite forced, as if it was just added for the sake of having a light source.
Myokai;; They all look quite similar, so I guess I'll just be rating them as a whole ^^ That style really doesn't fit the Suta-Raito artwork. I think that a more vector-type banner, with bright colourful shapes and such would look better, but whatever. The colours you used seem lackluster, and the renders stand out far too much in comparison. The effects don't look appealing to me, either. Like what evilcheese has said, I think it's a similar style to the one you usually use, so try some different ones as well. Kai.;; Aah, it's Midna! xD I always thought that her head was too big, and it definitely looks like it in that banner. The black and green colour scheme seems to fit, and the grungy effects are nice as well. The text doesn't seem to be too bad, either. You have no idea how difficult it is for me to not rant about large text in banners. Overall, it's good. But it just seems to be missing something. Maybe some more effects just to add that 'wow' factor? I don't know. Poke'd;; Hitsugaya-taichou <3 Anyway, I think that the effects look quite messy, and it ruins the render. The light source looks way off; move it closer to the focal point, since lighting is supposed to help place focus on the render. Or take it off. Text is almost impossible to read, so change it to white, or a different colour so that it can be seen. The background effect looks quite cool, but make it a lighter shade of blue, since the contrast with that colour and white is far too great. Mismaguis;; That's not too bad for a first try. As evilcheese has already said, the text is really quite hard to read (text is one of the few things which is hard to get right, for most people). The faded blue to the right is quite nice. Basically, it just needs some more effects. I won't complain about that too much, though, since it is your first go ^^ evilcheese;; To be honest, this one looks quite rushed and unfinished D: The first one looks too monotonous, and the colours on the second one definitely needs some work. The smudging is quite nice, but I don't like how the area underneath is light yellow, while the rest of the banner is brown. The lighting is a too prominent, and the font choice is a bit weird. The pen tooling underneath the text is a nice little touch, though. |
Well, I can't really rate.. since i'm quite bad.. but i'll do evilcheese's;;
It looks, honastly, rushed xD. Would look nicer with a border in my opinoin. Heres mine, I did 2 this time :) http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii43/Mismagius/Pink_greencopy.png That was my 2nd try. http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii43/Mismagius/soft.png That's probably my BEST. |
I'll rate the second one.
Did you add something to the original stock. Or did you just finished it with the settings from 'Filter'? The outcome is not bad + it's your third try. But it definitely can be better. ------------------- OMG. I got 2. (not posting another one yet) And both of them are quite old. Around a month I guess. But that's the last time I made banners http://img29.picoodle.com/img/img29/4/2/16/f_Kirbym_ea1e110.png |
I changed the saturation, Smudged the skin a bit to make it look Less-pixelised. Then added the filter.
Lol i just did two more.. http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii43/Mismagius/Red_anime2.png The filter IS SUPPOSED to fit with the meaning of the text xD http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii43/Mismagius/Queen.png Don't understand the meaning of this one >.< |

Try rendering the stock and make your own background. Shrink down the render's size too. It's too big currently. -Not rating as the rules say I can skip- |
Shika: That's really cute. ^^ The colours all match each other. I guess the one thing I don't like is the colour of the text. White and pink would have looked much better. Or a lighter purple. Overall, it's good.
First time posting here~ http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii142/Akari_Productions/haruhi_goddess_of_rock.jpg |
@ Akari: I think we've got another awesome graphic creator here ^^
Just wow. It's aweome. The colors are great, but the text could be put up more so you could see it ^^;;; overall, it's incredible! http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z227/ataylan/magicalsorecrybanner.png Just rate >< I rendered it myself, so it must be pretty bad. |
that looks really cool. Would be nice with a bit more colour :)
Hehe, 2 more.. I'm on a role.. http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii43/Mismagius/purple.png http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii43/Mismagius/Looking_at.png |
@ Akari: Thanks. 1 more GFX artist I envy at >D
@ Kai.: I personally thinks that Akari's text is her own style. xD @Mismagius: As I said before, don't just you filter effects. Background is empty and the picture is too big. |
@evil cheese
i see you used a lens flare, personally i dont like them, they look bad imo, nice blending and text but the sig seems empty, add some more effects , @mismagius 1: not bad, the text on the hat is nice but poor placement with the other text, part from that i like it. 2: espeon is really low quality, try not to use low quality images in sigs, rarely works out, theres no blending, try to blend the rende into the sig, instead of making a bg then slapping an image on it 3: looks like very little has been done, a filter and maybe a little smuding, not to fond of the text either sorry if i sound harsh, just trying to help ^^ @shika nice work, no complaints @ akari quite nice, love the text well done, no complaints ^^ @kai the rendering isnt bad, just not a good render, looks very lq (low quality) , andd some more colour, its to monotone at the moment, the text is ok, but kinda hard to see, keep trying though, you'll get better ^^ |
Just a request banner.
