RyuKuns' Got a Gallery
I may or may not have talent though, that's for you to decide...
http://darkraisvoid.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/themerebelion.png?w=450&h=180 Lelouch, I really like this one for some reason... http://darkraisvoid.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/king.png?w=450&h=180 My favorite, using it for my sig... http://darkraisvoid.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/origin.png?w=450&h=135 Just playing around with C4D's I don't like this one much... http://darkraisvoid.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/vengance.png?w=450&h=135 Not may favorite, but I love the text effect I got. http://darkraisvoid.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/forest-guardian.png?w=450&h=135 Made because I was bored, not my favorite, but not my least favorite either. http://darkraisvoid.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/souleater.png?w=450&h=135 Made again because I was bored, I kind a like it though, dedicated to .Oblivion, who inspired me to make this gallery. Please give constructive criticism... What is this? He's taking... requests? =0 I have 5 slots, once five people have made requests, I won't be taking any more until I start a new request form. 1. -[JD]- 2. chanchimi 3. 4. 5. If you want to request fill out this form: Image: Text: Size: Other: |
Wow these are really good RyuKun!
i love the one you made for me if i wasn't using my current theme i'd ask you for it lol now the main problem: the borders,its always the same and also i like the first Lelooch one,its pretty good considering that i used that render to when i had a Lelooch theme keep up the good work |
Aw... but I like my borders...
Maybe I'll start rounding the edges on some of them instead of putting borders. And thanks... |
I totally dis agree with Nazo, and have to say that the main problem in each one of these tags are the text.
This is for two main reasons. It does not compliment the rest of the compo at all (it does not blend, mesh, or go with the flow). Also I find that the less text you have in a tag, the much easier it is to manage. One of these tags have text with a whole sentence in it, or more. The ones that don't have this (the rest of them), the text is just way too big. For the most part though all of you're effects are really solid, and you should just read more tutorials, and try new styles to find more effective effects. You really have some solid tags here for a begginer, I wish you the best of luck! And keep on making these! |
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind (I never like my text, I guess this is why)
|
Text is really hard to do, I have trouble with it myself. ^^;; Usually if the text is bad, it ruins your banner. D:
But you have potential for a beginner, buuut, stay away from outer glow for your renders, because they make it harder for your renders to blend well. Also, try using more colours, than just one for your banner, because it makes it look bland. But like what CT said, tutorials are good, and do help you. :3 Like that saying goes, practice makes perfect~ |
Thanks, I'll see that I use your advice, the only problem is I have trouble understanding half of the tutorials out there...
EDIT: I am now open for requests |

Made because I had just watched episode 3 of soul eater. http://darkraisvoid.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/dareyoutomove.png?w=450&h=135 Made because I was bored, and I found a cool render, I really like it for some reason. http://darkraisvoid.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/arceusbanner.png?w=450&h=135 Trying out a new technique, nuff said. http://darkraisvoid.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/neku2.png?w=450&h=135 Found some good C4D's and thought "Hey, why not make a banner," I don't really like this one much tough. http://darkraisvoid.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/fightingdreamers.png?w=450&h=121 Made because I was bored, and had nothing to do. |
I'll tell you one thing, Ryu: They're better than what I've tried to make.
Tutorials really do help, though. I try to look for them to improve. |
You're heading the right way with effect c4ds and flow, and such. A lot of potential for a beginning graphics artist, here. What I don't like is that your banners look like the render was just slapped onto a background, there. You have to make your backgrounds fitting to the render, and color the background in with the colors that match the render very well. I'll use the Giratina Origin Banner for an example, the purple background was very random. Giratina always had a more grundgy feel to it and should have slightly darker and warmer colors such as yellow, red, and black.
Utilize some more effects, too. Overlay is a great tool to darken / lighten a banner or blend a glow in. It's also great for coloring something in, too. Anyways, the main problem I'm seeing is that you're using the same background over and over again, and the end result isn't always good. Try making some of your own backgrounds with vector / grundge / magic brushes, etc. The c4d backgrounds are quite hard to manage. A good brushing over the render won't hurt either, and helps the render blend in more to the background. Sparkle and magic brushes usually do that the best. C4ds are mainly used to add flow, and are occasionally used for backgrounds. I don't know what you're doing to the c4ds, but using them as a background sometimes ends up looking bad. For example, the one in your signature; the red c4d turns out very blotchy and saturated. I mean, they are nice effects, but don't overuse them. Setting a c4d on overlay over the render is a good tactic too. Erase the c4d over the face of the render if it's unclear; it gives it a good texture. You also need better quality renders. Some of the ones you choose aren't good. Go to PlanetRenders for some really cool and good quality renders. To increase the quality of a render, you can use the Contrast feature in the Brightness and Contrast (just don't overuse it or it will begin to hurt your eyes). Anyways, some very good potential you've got here, and the work is pretty nice for a beginner. :3 A few main points I'd like to suggest: - Download more Brushes: Make your own backgrounds and brush over the render too. I suggest deviantART for good brushes. - Less Monotone: Choose colors that fit the render instead of plopping a random colored background in. Overlay is a great tool for this. Make your banners based on more than one color (I sometimes have trouble with this myself. XD;) - Experiment new things: Follow a tutorial to learn different strategies or try something new all by yourself. Doesn't have to be great, but everyone has to start somewhere. - Improve Text: Downsize it and shorten the text. Avoid complete sentences. |
wow they're amazing, I love the Celebi one.
|
hmm...fighting dreamers is quite good
u've improved alot since i met u lol |
Thanks, i'm still working on using different kinds of backgrounds (Other than C4D's I mean)

Text: Invincibility Size: 333 x 120 (width x length) Other: black, white, gold lightning in the background. Thank you in advance. |
All right, here's JD's banner, be sure to give credit.

Text: The Dreamer Size: Same as your favorite one-Sorry, not to familiar with sizing! Other: I would like to only have Red(boy) in it, if that's okay. And blue in the background. Thanks very much! |

Here you go Chanichimi, remember to give credit. http://darkraisvoid.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/aura.png Lucario banner 'cause I was bored. http://darkraisvoid.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/memories2.png?w=450&h=135 Suzaku Kuruugi (I believe that's how you spell it) banner, made for SoTW http://darkraisvoid.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/givemyoursoul1.png?w=450&h=135 Made for my training with Closer (Aizuke) KK, that's all for this post! |
http://darkraisvoid.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/weareelectricity.png?w=300&h=130
Made trying to get into Shadowpand3monium's shop http://darkraisvoid.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/cc.png Also made trying to get into Shadowpand3monium's shop http://darkraisvoid.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/vaporeonbanner.png?w=300&h=130 Again amde trying to get into Shadowpand3monium's shop... So as you can see I'm pretty desperate to get in there, please rate these... |
Those are good! I especially really like the Vaporeon one. It's really good.
|
Thanks, I like the Vaporeon one too, any suggestions on how to make them better?
|
well text is still the same...
the size could be changed on the Electivire one(maybe) |
Of the text or of the banner?
Just wondering... |
Getting much better. Don't be afraid to brush over the render with some magic / sparkle brushes either. You can also put emphasis on the render by lightening / darkening the area around it. It really attracts attention and makes the background seem less plain. Just like what you did with this one:
http://darkraisvoid.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/givemyoursoul1.png?w=450&h=135 The background that is farther away from the render is a different color than the background behind the render, which does attract attention to the render. Try surrounding the render with something that blends in with the background, or else it looks like you just slapped something onto the background. For example, which one would look better? http://i37.*.com/95okt4.png or http://i34.*.com/i54xvs.png? Probably the second version. It looks like that you've done more than just create a background to suit the render. It looks like someone brushed over the render to make it more complex. Basically, I just put brushes over the render and erased some parts of the lower arm. It made the render more than just have the same colors as the background, but it actually has some effects that are similar to the background now. The magic brushes over the render are a perfect example of how a render can be blended even more. Also, see how the background is more white than the outer borders? It's because I want the render to attract attention. White stands out on black / dark blue, so therefore I used white with light blue overlay to make Haruhi stand out. ...that banner wasn't anything serious though. xD; I just made it for an example. So yeah, try brushing over the render some more and put more emphasis by alternating colors in the places you want the attention drawn to. |
the banners dude,its a gallery isn't it?
|
Kayashi, thanks for the tip .Oblivion I like the size my banners are at but... if you insist.
|
No problem~
And size is only a minor element of graphics making. At this stage, RyuKun shouldn't be too worrying about the size of his tags. What matters the most is what goes inside the banner, and how well he puts certain effects to use. :3 |

Kayashi is absolutely right |

Made in an attempt to follow Kayashi's advice -.- didn't go so well. http://darkraisvoid.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/sasuke2.png?w=300&h=130 Made using the "over the rainbow" tutorial. |

Text:Bang! Size:480, 160 Other:Use the bottom right L. |
That render's gonna be really uber hard to work with, could you get another one?
http://darkraisvoid.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/sea2.png?w=300&h=130 In the mean time, here's a better attempt at me following Kayashi's advice... |
Awesome. :D Just remember to use good quality renders, since I can see some pixels and noise in between the render's forehead and eyeballs. The glow was used pretty well. Try to add a little more flow with soft c4ds, though. But you're improving quickly. :3
|
Thanks, the thing is when I got it the render was really blurry, so I had to sharpen it, guess it didn't go so well -.-
