@Akari: Yeah, there is a big waste of space like Ishida said. Not that I don't waste space, but... XD

I made this one using Shiranui's spatter tutorial as a guidline, which is why it looks so close to what she did in that tutorial. I like it, though. XD

Uryū Ishida March 28th, 2008 10:37 PM

Animadversion;; xDD ZOMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is awesome, much better than the one i did of shira-chan's tut,the Colour scheme looks really good, and the splatter brushes look clean but not too neat which is good,the text is amazing right next to the clipping mask xDDD, but maybe you could move the lighting to under her hand, and motion blur it? just a suggestion. I LOVE THIS BANNER THOUGH xDD 10/10

Pikabloo March 28th, 2008 10:51 PM

Animadversion: I'm with Ishida, that's a very nice outcome ^^ I like it how you didn't put too many spatters on, yet it doesn't look empty. The font choice and positioning, along with the clipping mask, looks excellent. Though I suggest perhaps reducing the opacity on the white spatters just a bit, so it doesn't look too intense, and maybe tilt the text and the clipping mask the other way, since I can sort of see the render leaning like \ instead of /. But still, it looks great the way it is.

Hooray? I unblurred it a bit, added extra (perhaps too many) effects and made a different colour variation and a black and white one just for the sake of it, though I really don't like it colourless xP I guess that could have been my entry for SOTW #3...

V1 since the bg seems less monotonous. For some reason it only looks like a slight improvement from the ones you posted in the previous post, meh it's still good…
Also did you choose the theme for week 3?

Nytkoi March 29th, 2008 11:45 AM

Okay, made an Abstract banner(I think) Just know. Please rate.

Hazuki March 29th, 2008 12:21 PM

I don't do abstract banners... xDDDD

Anyways, the colors are nice, I would like to see more 3-D effects though. The border lines, you need to work on that a little more. If you notice the top line is smaller than the one on the bottom. ><;;;

My current banner. kthnxbai.

Aizuke March 29th, 2008 1:33 PM

Hazuki; Ichigo x Rukia ftw~ <3

Well I like it, even though it's just a stock picture you've added effects too. ;P

But they're nice effects and it suits a simplistic banner like that. ^^

But I think the writing could have been darker, grey doesn't really match the banner.

Another Cloud banner. 8D

parallelzero March 29th, 2008 1:56 PM

@Akari: A CLOUDY CLOUD BANNER. 8D *shot* I can't find much wrong with it, really, but I'm sure someone else will have stuff to say~

Now, something different I tried.

Nytkoi March 29th, 2008 2:25 PM

@ Animadversion: Pretty! I like it! The circles are a nice brush choice and I love the render <3

Fixed up the border:

Loki March 29th, 2008 2:55 PM

Kai.; Hmm.... What is it? :B

*SHOT'd* I like it mostly, but the lowered opacity white splotches don't agree with me. The text is cool, though hard to find, and I don't see a focal... anywhere. xD The border... doesn't sit right with me either. It really just looks like a bunch of jumbled c4d's to me. It'd definitely look better without the white though. The white really bothers me. xD





Another 'which version do you like best', sponsered by Loki!

I would love to know why you prefer whichever one you prefer. :3

Nytkoi March 29th, 2008 2:59 PM

The Alternirtive, waaaay better in my opinion. I love the retro circiles and text. very nice Loki.

Nice sig Kai but I can't tell what's next to the render because of its highlighting. Nice line effect across the render but the text doesn't fit in with the sig style.

Not trying to be negative =(

Anyways mine is probably worse...
Tried out the photoshop trial so this was pretty much me beginning.

http://b.imagehost.org/0355/50cent.jpg

Renders I pick by random for some difference...
EDIT: uber in the sig credit is me.

Nytkoi March 29th, 2008 3:22 PM

Wow, thats your beginning? You should have seen mine XD Very Nice Cark Fear
http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z227/ataylan/colorsbanner.png
Very rare from me. Scanlines and a non-solid black border XD

DarkFear March 29th, 2008 3:33 PM

Very nice scanlines are great splatter and vector works really well nice peachy colours =D and I wouldn't like to see a black border on that. Nice work.

Here's my one I created recently following a tut and testing out colour balances.

http://b.imagehost.org/0355/Ichigo.jpg

evilcheese March 29th, 2008 3:40 PM

@dark fear - i can barely see ichigo and the colors dont really go hand in hand. winter breeze brush is a nice touch though. i cant really say anything else because its kinda plain.

@loki - ha! i found the diffrence the thing at the bottom is lighter on the 1st version. personaly i like the 1st version.

@kai. (scanline banner) - its a nice oncept though put the scanlines on soft light and lower the opacity alot scanlines arent suppose to be that visible.

http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc3/chimchar59/requests/dawn.png

it was a request please ignore the text if it was my banner i would have not put text.

Pikabloo March 29th, 2008 4:57 PM

JUST A REPLY POST, YO. Simply rate the banner above ^^

I would do it myself if I had time right now :\

Mm'kay. Yeah, I didn't really add too much to it, because a) I'm too darn lazy, b) I didn't really know what else to put in it. Though I have a feeling I'll start fiddling with it again later today. And yes, I chose the theme this week.

I hurt my eyes trying to figure out the differences x_x;
I really liked the original one better. The lined on the left look so much better when they don't stand out as much XD;

Eh yeah buuut...
evilcheese: Well, she seems... warped. I know her face isn't THAT flat looking :<
The effects in the back are really cool looking, but it took a sec for me to notice them there... Not really, that's my dumb way of saying they should stand out more. JUST A LITTLE. Too much would make me go "lol k want some picture with those effects"? *lame joke shot'd*

As for the text... bar... thingies...
Great effect, it could work for other things, but I didn't see it working for THAT banner in particilar[/longest rate I've ever done. Ever]




Anyway~ This is my most recent filled request. I was so happy with it, that it made me wanna return to the GRT (b' ')b
Ignore the text, please, I wanted to take it out, but I forgot T___T

Who'da thought I'd actually start BLENDING?

Perfectionist March 30th, 2008 1:38 AM

Chikara: Ooh I like it! Hmm, the right side looks a bit empty.. Maybe add a clipping mask or some lighting effects or something... Or you could leave it cause it is great the way it is as well! =P
Ok here's mine.
http://i32.*.com/1zfopx4.jpg
Made for my practise and your rating to improve my noobish Photoshop skills. (what skills?)
I was gonna put a clipping mask in the top left corner but it looked weird..

Aizuke March 30th, 2008 3:04 AM

Perfectionist; You're graphical skills are getting better, but you should work more on blending your render it, it's kind of out of place. ^^;;

Let's rate Saber again. (b'')b

http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii142/Akari_Productions/saber_bannerxx.jpg

Mind the image, it was bad quality so I had to make do. ._.''


Nytkoi March 30th, 2008 5:50 AM

@ Akari: You do not know the meaning of bad quality. Use my computer for a while. Anyways, Its a good banner. The text is getting a littlw boring cause you use it too much but it's good overall.

http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z227/ataylan/umbreoncopy.png
Wanted to do somthing simple and colorful.

Live in Color March 30th, 2008 7:27 AM

Kai: It is very simple and still looks good, but I don't think Umbreon fits well with those colors. If you somehow made Umbreon look more "softer" it may fit will together. I like the text placement, and the border. I'm not a big fan of simple signatures, but it looks pretty good to me. \o/

My entry for SOTW 3.

Nytkoi March 30th, 2008 7:48 AM

REPLY POST rate the banner above ^
Kouyuu, what about this? I lowered the opacity on Umbreon. If that dosen't work, I don't know what will :/
http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z227/ataylan/umbren2.png

Live in Color March 30th, 2008 7:52 AM

Kai: It does look softer, and I like it better.

Just in case people skip mine.

http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/3336/sotw3copy4jo2.png

EDIT: Came up with a second version I may want to use as a theme.

http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/9015/sotw3copy5xo4.png

parallelzero March 30th, 2008 2:17 PM

@Kouyuu: They look fine, but my biggest problem is with the second one. The tiny text under the normal text isn't very attractive. I think because it's far too sharp in comparison to the rest of the banner. ^^;

I was just messing around again. I don't think this is that great overall. XD

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y39/Daiaki711/cruelangelsthesis.png

evilcheese March 30th, 2008 2:22 PM

@animadversion - i like itthe only thing i dont like is the placing of the render. it should be in the middle maybe make the banner bigger because the render is big.

http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc3/chimchar59/personal/audi.png

well i followed a secret tutorial so yeah.
