cheesepeow;; Hmm..it is a bit plain, but nice, i really like this banner, theres like nothing i can say bad about what you have done, except two things, the border isnt too good IMO, and the text as well, try doing it all lower case or all caps.

@Uryū Ishida: It has nice bold colors, which I like. Im not sure about the C4D going down their face, but meh, it's not that big of a deal. It's a bit fat for my tastes though.

Here's my latest monstrosity. I know how much you guys hate sprite banners, lol. I made it for PalkiaAndBlisseyrock's birthday on Pe2k.

Masterdookie;; Yup your right, "I" hate sprite banners, but that's just me, but this is a really nice banner, the effects the clouds are all really nice, except the sprite is very oddly placed in my opinion, try moving it a bit more to the center of the banner. 9/10

MasterDookie;; eheh, it's not that I hate sprites, it's just that I think it's difficult to create something good using Pokémon sprites. But I think this one is pretty good. I like the soft cloud effects, which makes it look like Palkia is floating in the heavens, or whatever. The text is pretty cool, too. The lack of a light source is a shame, though, and I don't really like those gray-ish wireframes, although it does add to the flow of the banner. But, er, yes, it looks cool ^^

@Uryū Ishida: oooh~! o: I really like the banner. it's a little bright in some places, but it's not too heavy. the text that says 'a shadow of my former self' is a little too hard to read, but that's just me. over all, it's pretty good. :)

anyway, I really want my icons rated. :) I don't think they are that good, but I just want your opinion on them. thanks. :)

Man, I've been swamped lately. D: No time to make any new graphics at all. I can't believe how crappy these comments are. xDD *shot'd*

Brandon-kun; They really look like all you've done is added some color layers to me. xD The color layers are a very nice touch though. There's lot's of room for improvement, but they'd certainly make excellent bases. ^^

Ishida; That's really good. :O I like the text as it is, and I actually think you could crank the opacity down a little more. The colors and brushing, light textures and everything is really cool. ^^ The border could use a little bit of work with originality, but it's not too terrible as it is. Though you couldn't have avoided this due to the fact that it was a request but the "poke'd" test in't too great. xD Just a note.

@poke'd - you mean i tauht you how to download fonts xD anyway yours is a little too plain try blending.

@master dookie - its pretty dark. i would put maybe a radial gradient instead of black. and maybe add a little more color.

@Poke'd (again) - its nice that you used blending and c4ds but too much is bad. also the text is hard to see (like mine xD).

@Loki: yeah.. that's what I've been told. I've been trying to make it so it doesn't look like that, but I really do like my coloring. :)

Here are a few more icons that I made for people at SPPf.


all of these are for Chelc @ SPPf. Do not take any!


for Avegaille @ SPPf. Do not take!


for Alex @ SPPf. Do not take!

I tried different styles and what not, but that's what I came up with. please rate them. :)

@ Brandon-kun: I like color layers, so you're in luck. lawl.
I like the one for Avegaille. I forgot the charcter in it's name.
The rest are pretty plain. They're open for improvment, good luck!


For Chris-kun @ PPF

Please rate. Its not my best, I know everyone hates pokemon banners/avatars, but meh,
I liked the way it turned out and I want it rated, thanks.

@Kai.: thanks for the crit. :) it means a lot. :D and I think the characters name is Zoey from Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Anime. as for the crit; it looks good, though I haven't seen any of your other work, so I really wouldn't know if it's your best/worst, or whatever you think, but these are the only things I can tell you. the sparkles are a nice touch, but it looks like they are over-used.. and the 'X' is a little strange. other than that, it's really good. :)

@ Brandon-kun: Thank you too! You're welcome for the comments!
I love color layers, I think your icons are pretty good!


Made for Sparkz. @ PC

I liked this one. This is sort of an example to Brandon-kun. This is not my best, I guess I can PM you my fav banner that I have made later.

Brandon Kun: I really like the way you do your avatars, they have an originality feel to them. The one I love the most has got to be the Ash one, it's awesome!

Kai: I love the style you use to do your graphics but i'm not sure about the (vector brushes?) underneath the render of Flygon I don't think they work well. But I really like the Torchic avatar you made.

Evil Cheese: I'm not sure about the Sasuke banner as I don't really like the flow of the render, although I like how you've created the effect that Sasuke is behind some of the background to make it look like he's actually in the picture. Also I think you should try making some of your banners smaller I don't know if it's just me but I'm not keen on large banners.

Notes: I like this one I'm not sure about the text though, I'd like to see others views on it.

Keep Up The Great Work Everyone.

A c e n d o

to me it looks O.K.

the colors are nice, i also like the focus point.

you can also work on the text a bit.

but the right side seems too blurry for me.

overall, it's nice. :<

PikachuTrainer1994; Yeah, the text lacks something, I guess it's a bit plain. But overall, the banner itself is good. ^^ But the blurriness of the background kinda hurts my eyes, but that's just me. :x


Something I made when I was bored and decided to test out new brushes~
