What? Katalyst has a graphics showcase?
 
A'ight people, this is my first showcase. I've been doing my own themes for a while, and with all the themes I got saved here, I thought of making a small showcase. (THIS IS NOT A REQUEST THREAD.)

Do not use any of these banners without permission. (Why would anyone want to use them anyway?)

All of these banners were made using tutorials (After all, these are just my first banners), and I already know I suck at this, so don't tell me that, OK? XDDD

My first one. Features Goku from the Dragon Ball series.

I liked the way this one turned out. Made in the times everyone were using vertical signatures... Features Link from the Legend of Zelda series.

My first try at the smudge brushes. Features Cloud from Kingdom Hearts.

Kinda plain, no? Features Cloud from Kingdom Hearts (again).

http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/543/katalystbannerjk4.png
Ugh, I suck at C4D using (*points at guy's left side of his face*). Features Toshiro Hitsugaya from Bleach.

http://img378.imageshack.us/img378/7531/crysisbannerpy1.png
This one was made while I was practising with the smudge brushes. Features the main guy from Crysis (a video game).

http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/1113/spyrobannernz6.png
This one isn't something I worked much hard on. I think it didn't turn out bad, but... Features Spyro from The Legend of Spyro.

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f109/Katalyst_12/LucarioBanner.png
Nothing to say about this one. Features Lucario from Pokémon.

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f109/Katalyst_12/Link2Banner.png
I placed the render too much to the left, making the right side kinda plain... Features Link from the Legend of Zelda series.

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f109/Katalyst_12/GokuSSBanner-1.png
Argh, I screwed up on this one. (*points at Goku's left hand*) Features Goku from the Dragon Ball series.

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f109/Katalyst_12/Linkatabanner.png
I <3 this one. The gradient map combination (5 different gradient maps at different blending modes) turned out really well, no? Features Link from the Legend of Zelda series.

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f109/Katalyst_12/NarutoBanner.png
Ugly color scheme, but I didn't get a better one for Naruto... Features Naruto from... uh... Naruto. -_-

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f109/Katalyst_12/GohanKBanner.png
Nothing to say about this one too. Features Gohan from the Dragon Ball series.

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f109/Katalyst_12/SomeBanner-1.png
This is the proof that I really REALLY suck at using C4D's. It's plain too. -_- Features (Unknown).

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f109/Katalyst_12/Link2Banner-1.png
Ah, this one turned out better. It's my current theme. Features Link from the Legend of Zelda series.

And it's the end. Bringing more soon.

You definitely have some potential. These are pretty good, Katalyst. I especially like the 5 gradient Link render one. That's your best in my opinion.

You have some real potential like .freak said.
I think the next thing to do is work on using C4D's or special effects. They will eliminate empty space and make your background more appealing. I think that is the only thing you are lacking as you seem to have the basics covered.

Gold19 August 15th, 2008 4:57 PM

I like the Crysis banner because of how it is done.

Gabri August 21st, 2008 4:57 PM

Hiya people, bringing a new one.

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f109/Katalyst_12/JoshuaBanner.png
Features Joshua from The World Ends With You.

Didn't use any tutorials for this one; just a bunch of abstract C4D's, a render and some adjustment layers.

Sounds August 21st, 2008 5:50 PM

i like the Joshua and the toon link one that was ur current theme,
u got skillz dude!

Gabri August 25th, 2008 10:14 AM

Thanks :D

I've been doing some training at C4D's, and made two new ones:

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f109/Katalyst_12/ZBanner.png
Features (Someone) from The World Ends With You.

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f109/Katalyst_12/MiloticBanner.png
Made for the Project Pokedex. Features Milotic.

Feerce_Kitty August 25th, 2008 10:45 AM

Wow your...awesome! I love your Goku supersayan3 banner..bah! I love all of them! You did a really nice job,continue making banners/sigs!

Musaki Kidosho August 25th, 2008 10:58 AM

Just to say, your 5th banner's Render was Toshiro Hitsugaya from Bleach.

I gotta say, your banners are very good for a beginner I like them and I don't know why you said they were rubbish. I know you'r C4D's were bad but just pray that they weren't like mine (even worse than my cooking :P.)

Can't wait to see more, have fun.

dark_umbreon August 26th, 2008 4:02 PM

Gabri August 28th, 2008 7:47 AM

Another one, made for the Project Pokedex too:

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f109/Katalyst_12/AggronBanner.png
Features Aggron.

@dark_umbreon: Sure, just tell me what text do you want in it and if you want an avatar too.
