I read pandamore's awesome gimp tut and came out with this plus I added a bit of my soothing colors~


I suppose this is a animie tag right? I don't like the blend of colors you used for this one, but that's me. I personally don't use brushes anymore, only the smudge at times.
I would rate it 6/10..




A request i did..

Just playing around with some C4D's

I had recently just got into banner making yesterday.
I had created two for two games on PC.
Let me know what you think

Honestly I don't really like this. Starting with the good, you made it brighter in the center so the person looking can find where the focal point is. But as for the C4D.. I don't know. For some reason I don't like it. It's probably just the blending of the Lucario innto the C4D that I don't like, it makes it seem.. kind of flat? And the mudging of the lucario goes in many different directions which looks a little messy to me. It's not horrible, but not fantastic, a good start though. If I could suggest something it'd be perhaps to give either a little more variation with the colors, or something that stands out on it. 5/10.

I have nothing that needs to be rated so the next person can just post something. ^^

Well they look a little.. plain to be. For the pokemon one's they have know good backround, except just a plain white.

For the assasian creed one, I like this one the most. I like how you made his reflection it gives him a little depth. But still another plain backround

6/10




Well i was doing a request for someone the other day. And while i was doing the request gimp crashed on me. I got so mad, because i know i could have added more depth to this sig. Also i'm bad at pokemon sigs i don't know why i just am..

Anyways...







Yeah i hate it to...

Ok first of all there is no flow with the c4d's which is actualy the main purpose of c4d's it looks like you just copied and pasted the render to the c4d's.
There are no gradient's at all to flow with it.
And it looks like it took no effort at all.
Flow is an essential to graphics and so are gradients read tutorials and that is the only way you will get better.

1/10

I like the way the dullness matches the sad with no love theme. The dog laying down like that matches it very well. The text blends in very well too. Though I am not too sure I like the vertical faded lines too much.

9/10

My Banner:

Reina June 26th, 2009 4:32 PM

@ Morning Bliss; Hm. First impression; not bad, not bad. Nice background, the colors go very well with the picture you chose. I can't say much about this, but if I could suggest anything, I'd say maybe do something with the picture of Haruhi? It looks a little too normal to me- though, I suppose in contrast to the background, it's not bad. 8/10

http://i44.*.com/30ihq81.png
There's mine, was a request from a shop on another forum, so I wasn't the one to pick out the picture.

Twilight Wolf June 26th, 2009 4:53 PM

Shirayuki:
The color scheme and text are fine, but the flow is a bit off. Don't you just hate it when renders mess it up a bit?

My tag-

http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu95/White-Wolf-of-the-Snow/MewtwoTag.png

I use GIMP, FYI.

Switchback June 28th, 2009 9:55 AM

Twilight Wolf: There's too much going on in the signature that you don't really know where to look, the faded text littered throughout doesn't help matters either. The background colours also seem to clash and avert the eyes from the main focus of the signature aswell as the occasional square which just seems to detach parts of the signature from each other. Overall to me the whole thing looks unstable, I suggest you give it some work but don't give up! 43%

http://i41.*.com/33a7z9d.png

This is my latest signature, inspired from the 3rd Pokemon movie which is also where the quote comes from. The signature I did myself but the picture I used and rendered is by Celebi Yoshi, just making sure I don't get hounded for something I never claimed as my own.

Well to me this looks really effective! The text,The render and the effects well done! 9/10

Ok,I must confess this is not my best but the quote 'From the light's early dawn' is from Green-day's Song '21st Century Breakdown'.

Ok, first of, it feels like Dawn doesn't belong there, the colours do not match her, and 2nd I love the colours, tho the font's are to plain and need some work. :D

OK I made this for banner of the week on PE2K... I like it... Ignore my logo in the corner, it's not on the banner I entered on PE2K.... It's there, you know cause it's my logo. :D

Reina June 29th, 2009 11:38 AM

@Angela. Very nice. Aside from the fact that the woman who seems to be largest scares me It's very difficult to find flaws. It's.. wow. I don't think I can even point out flaws at all. It's very well done. The colors go together very well, and everything just looks.. wow. Fantastic work!

http://i44.*.com/2ewir1i.png
There's mine.

R a c h e l June 30th, 2009 7:04 PM

Shirayuki - I love it - the character is cute and the colour scheme compliments him perfectly. I love the simple background, as it makes the text seem perfect and not overcrowded :) My only issue is the little trail of white dots, as my first instinct was to question whether it belonged there or not. Regardless, love it :D 9.5/10

RosaSunglasses. July 1st, 2009 11:21 AM

Rachel(Scizoress)- I like it but don't you agree with the fact that mew's a bit too big ?
other wise is a masterpiece 9.5/10 for that keep up the good work!

Rate mine please it's in sig

Gabri July 1st, 2009 2:05 PM

@Shirayuki: I like it. The text is well placed and has good colours to stand out the different bits of it. That gradient-like thing near the guy looks nice too, considering the overall banner. As for the guy itself, nothing much to say. 8/10

@Rachel: Well it's nice, but it could be smaller. I see that you can work well with the colours, and the brushing is pretty nice. As for the text, I never liked that style. Besides the text, I guess the only problem is the size. 8/10

@Nilojan: Those icons are pretty good. The colouring is nice and matches with the icons' content. The lighting is nice and the effects are well put in there. 9/10

Banner for rating is the one in my signature.

Zurr July 2nd, 2009 6:32 AM

Ok, here's my first try at a pokeball. I'm not sure how to make one 3d-ish, similar to the one Gold holds. All i did was try to make a pokeball and kept going and ended up with this. Make a note that I'm crazy about green.

http://i537.photobucket.com/albums/ff335/PokemaxST/TheZurr.png

and since the button normally glows red,

http://i537.photobucket.com/albums/ff335/PokemaxST/TheZurrRed.png

GREEN!!

Note: My computer takes the 82nd page as the 83rd so i can't view anny comments, so please PM.

Subsmash July 2nd, 2009 11:25 AM

I don't know much about graphics but I like the red spiral from your Pokeball and the green glow makes it stand out.

My banner is in my signature. :)

Zebra Thunderhead July 2nd, 2009 12:11 PM

I'm too lazy to do a super rate because I really just want rates on this one banner

Subsmash: really boring. Two stocks generally don't work in the same tag so get rid of one and focus on the other. The text is unattractive as are the effects. I really recommend reading tutorials before diving into any banner making.

comments please

RosaSunglasses. July 2nd, 2009 10:11 PM

SubSmash i agree with Color me evil

and Color me evil there is nothing reall much to say about yours :D Its just sexy and amazing like all of yours are 10/10

and i wanna know how i can make mine better or a genarel rate.In sig

Gabri July 4th, 2009 1:31 PM

@Subsmash: I guess I have nothing to add to Color Me Evil's post. Just like her, I reccomend you reading some tutorials.

@Color Me Evil: I don't really know what to say... Well I like the font of the text and its position, and the render is well positioned too. I don't know if those light-ey things around the girl are a part of the render or if it was you putting them there, but they're pretty good and their colors match well with the render's. Nothing else to say, I guess... 10/10

@Nilojan: I've already rated yours, so I don't really have something to tell now...

Well my previous post was, apparently, ignored, so, once again,
Banner for rating is the one in my signature.

Melody July 4th, 2009 5:27 PM

Very nice overall. I like the light effects, but they seem to be excessive to a degree. The light spots remind me of lens goblins, and I hate those. (Mainly because I wear glasses, and they annoy me to no end!)

Other than that, it looks really nice. The background suits the subject, the text does as well, in font and color.
I don't know why you lightened a large portion of the image, leaving a darker border behind but it doesn't detract from the image too much.

Now that I've satisfied the prerequisites, I've got one I'd like some input on. It's a simple design, but I think it stands out in it's own way.

My advice is to use some tutorials, especially effect and typography tutorials.

I like it. The smudging is nicely done, and the text is nice too.
Overall, I'd give it an 8 / 10

Another recent banner I made:
