Motsuko;; Yays for vector bannehs <3. Great banner ^^, good colours you chose for the brushes and the render is placed nicely in my opinion, the scan lines around the edge is something i've never seen before, but it's really good!! 9/10

@evilcheese I don't think that banner needs any more work. The color scheme seems to go so well with his skin color and the text blends in pretty good though it's hardly readable

@Motsuko, I usually don't like vector banners maybe because I can't do one for my life but this is really nice. I like how you made the scan lines on the border only..

@Uryū Ishida , so um... you added scan lines.. I think it looks better without them, or maybe you should make them less noticeable?
The round bubbles are cool, but that big one stands out too much, even though it's blurred. Have you tried blending the render a bit to see how it would look like? I think it would look cool if it's blended, but don't take my word for it... try it..

Reply to Loki: *looks at Loki's massive post*
See, Shiranui? What did I tell you? We've both been spaminized XD;
eeexactly xD

Anyway, I'll go on a mini-rating spree, because I don't want to do my Math homework. Yet >.> Starting with...

Loki: Zoom in at the bottom of the banner. There's definitely a stray cream-coloured pixel there xD ANYWAY - COLOURS <3 I like the colours, to a certain extent, of course xD Though at some areas, the colours tend to look too bright, especially with that yellow overlay thing. It also makes the whole banner look a bit messier. Like, behind his left shoulder (our right), it looks really weird. And it makes the hand look eww and, er, yellow o.o Though I'm pretty much loving everything else about the colours.

I like the vector shapes as well. Where did you get them? It's sort of a simple effect, but it looks great with the render chosen. And they're colourful. Which is always a good thing xD The white outline-ish thing to the right of the render sort of adds emphasis to the focal, so that's cool.

Moving onto the text~ The 'Carnage' bit is nicely placed, and I like how it follows the curve of the vector thing. As for the 'Badou' text, I have to admit that I never noticed it there until I saw Animad's comment >.> I think I'm just going blind. Who knows :\ I think it just blends a little too well, and the fact that the text is at two different places just makes me go, 'whut?' Or I'm just used to the usual 'the text goes here and nowhere else' thing.

Animadversion: L is luff :D I love the perspective on the render, and it would have been cool to expand on that, but whatever. It's still a good banner It's an interesting choice of colour; I never would have put L together with green, but it looks good. The effects are pretty interesting overall, with the repeat image thing towards the left end of the banner. I also like the text position, with the black bar going under it, and the tiny text thing at the bottom of the text.

Hooowever (lawls o.o) I can't say it's blended very well xP You probably knew that already, but whatever. His hand looks weird and faded (erased?), and so does the tip of his finger. And although the colours work alright with the render, the yellow-ish tone of L's skin looks really quite awkward in the sea of green. Nothing that a colour blending layer couldn't fix, though~

Uryū Ishida: It's so... cotton candy pink! xD And the render looks so cute~ I personally think it looks better without the scan lines. The only reason I might prefer the scanlines is because it makes it look a little bit darker, but you could still make it darker without the scan lines.

I'm not sure if I like seeing the render centered, but it wouldn't look good in any other place anyway xD OMG, this is the perfect kind of banner for a bubble effect C4D! I think there are some there, but the fact that the edges are blurred makes it a bit harder to see them. And the circle clipping masks would look loads better if it wasn't blurred like that. If the background was blurred, but not the clipping masks, it might look better, but I don't know. Ah, and the heart above Hinamori looks cute, but it's sort of just floating there. Move it around and see if there's a better place for it o.o

Motsuko:
SotW banner: Aww, that's so cute~ lawls, I feel so weird now, since my not-quite-done entry is nothing like the ones that have already been entered xD I like the pink and white outlines around the render, it looks great. What I'm not too much of a fan off is the wide variety of vector brushes you used. Try limiting it down, so that the background doesn't look quite as cluttered. Also, the blue brushing towards the bottom looks quite weird. Maybe try some blue vector brushing instead of the wispy stuff, just to even out the invasion of pink in the banner xD

The colours are cute~ I definitely like the pink. I just think that there needs to be a greater balance between pink, blue and white. But it's still a great SotW entry :D

That second banner o.o: Ooh, and I like the choice of colours in this one as well xD This is the sort of vector brushing which looks better; not too crowded, but not empty either. I like the scanlines towards the edge of the banner, acting like a border. It sort of gives a slight sense of depth, which is good.

What I don't really like about it is the flow. Some of the vector brushes lean like this \ where as some others lean like this /. I think it'd look better to stick to one flow. For this banner, the flow would probably be like this / since you placed the text on a vector brush which goes in that direction. Oh, and as for the text itself, it looks pretty good. The only thing I don't like is the colour. Since everything else in the banner tends to be either green or blue, it might blend better if it was green or blue o.o

In comparison to the Persona (?) vector banner Loki lent you, I'd say that the render used here is lacking in the colours like the vector that Loki used, so you're mainly limited in green or blue. It's a good attempt at replicating the style, though. Perhaps try using the pen-tool...?

evilcheese: Yay, colours~ But now it looks a bit monotone xD It does look better than the un-saturated version, so this is probably the best out of them all. It looks muuuuuch better behind the head now, without the distraction of the effect C4Ds. The front of his face looks a lot neater, as well, or I'm just imagining it o.o But yeah, for some reason, the C4Ds look a lot cleaner. Which is a good thing. Oh, but there's this weird C4D on his neck o.o The light source definitely looks better~

I'm not sure about the logo/text, though. I was going to suggest taking it off, but then it would leave the left side of the banner looking too empty :\ Try out putting your own text, playing around with fonts and stuff, maybe. Or maybe the logo would look best, meh xD Ah, well, there's nothing much I could add. Colouring is probably the main things you need to work on.

Poke'd:
Hollow Ichigo banner: Monotone~ Then again, the render was black and white, so I can't really complain about that xD It's an interesting outcome to my tutorial, but I think that you erased a bit too much from the clipping mask. It looks quite odd o.o I'm not a fan of the spatter brushes you used, but I can't really complain about that either -shot'd- I think more spatters towards the right side of the banner would look good, just to even out the spaces between spatters. And because there's not that many spatters in that side. Then again, it sort of looks like the spattered remains of who/whatever got in Hollow Ichigo's way, so I wont complain about that either xD

Oh, and am I just imagining it, or is there this weird dark gray/orange-ish patch on the render's hair? xD If it's supposed to be lighting, I think white would look better with a banner like this. And the lighting towards the katana looks really weird, since the lighting is supposed to draw the attention to the focal, which is supposed to be the face here, I think? Ah, and the text needs a bit of work. I don't really think that the font matches the render well xP

Zeratul... or something: I can't really tell if it's smudging or filters, but it's reeeaaally blurry o.o The good point to this, however, is that it looks like the person/thing is 'in motion' or something, or he's hiding in the darkness >.> The glowy sword arm thing looks pretty good blurry, for some reason. Or the blurriness spreads the glow. Ah, but that's some good effects.

What I don't like is that you can just barely make out the render, and the focal is unclear. I would be assuming that it's the sword, since it stands out the most, and is drawing my attention. I also don't like the text, since the font just seems a bit too, er, fancy? o.o And gray text in a gray background looks quite boring, to be honest. But, it seems easy enough to improve this banner. You'd just need to erase some of the blurry stuff, and sharpen everything. Maybe fix up the text. It's good, probably the better one of the two banners you posted. If it wasn't so blurry >.> -shot'd-

Anyway, I'll go on a mini-rating spree, because I don't want to do my Math homework.
... I believe I underestimated the number of banners posted after Loki's :\ -sigh- At least I got to procrastinate doing Math.

Im not really in the mood for rating, im a bit sleepy.
I changed the banner around a bit, added some more effects, but I still need some ideas.

@ChessePeow, actually the hair on the right side seems to blend in well with the rest of the banner. I think you should keep it.
The problem with this banner is that the render's color that seems to stick-out but not in a good way, try toning down it's colors so it can go along with the rest of the banner.
But that's just my opinion...

@ DarkChild: Probably the best graphic on this page (so far) XD;
I absolutley love the placing of the render. It captures the passion perfectly. What I don't like about it is that blurry, white spot around her hands. It's kind of...random? Anyways, great banner, DC. 8.0/10.
Oh yes, and one last thing;

It's a great banner and all, but it doesn't seem to create that "love-ish" feeling. I don't know why, but it seems a little...hard, to be love. Not sure if that made much sense, but if it did, hopefully you can use it to improve your banner XD.

-------------------------------------

Ok, now for my banner. I remade my SOTW banner. Tried a new style, so any suggestions/coments are greatly appreciated. Not sure which one I'll submit...
I'm also looking for different text to add to my second one (this one). Any suggestions? Any at all? Please!? XD *shot'd*

I present to you one of the shortest rating posts I've made for a long time. xD Because I'm lazy.

Motsuko: Hmmm.... I think it's a little too pale and bright, and the text bar on the left doesn't work out very well. The flow just isn't there. xD; Especially with the font you chose to use. The rest is alright, but it feels like... I'm not going to like, I'm sitting here and thinking, "Hazuki." xDD;; The style is just too similar. And the SoTW is very.. abrupt. Like you forgot to put it in and you were like, "Oops!" but yeah, I hate the adding SoTW rule too, so that's not really something I would penalize you for.


Would you believe that this started out as my SoTW entry?





....Yeah, I don't believe it either. xDDD;; WIP, no text and border yet.


edit: After consulting my Graphics Guru, he has shared his wisdom with me and I present a.. kind of different version.

@Loki: I think you're overcrowding your graphics, which is why this so called "guru" asked you to remove or turn down opacity as much as you did. Other than the bumps along the way, the end result looks cool, though I still think your style may be starting to get slightly repetitive...

Well, I was going to enter this in SotW, but then I realized it was ungodly crappy (and his hair doesn't match the background. =x), so I probably won't enter it. I call this one "blaaaagh". XD





And, my new sig banner. I don't know when the last time I put my username on a banner was. XD It's simple, but I like it.

Animadversion: I will rate both of yours.
blaaaagh: Yeah you are right about the hair not matching the colours of the rest of the banner. I think that in the bottom right hand corner, that effect is a bit dark, just tone down the opacity a bit. Love the stars, the tower in the background (left side) and the flow. I think the text is in a good place but the font lets down the feel of the banner.
7.5/10

Simple but adorable one: To me, this is magnificent. Despite it having very few brushes, colours, effects whatever! It has a brilliant feel about it. Although I tend to favour simple banners, this one sticks out. I love the clipping mask on the right side. (Took me a while to realise it was part of her face)... The font is simple but looks great and the colours match wonderfully.
BUT, the only thing I would suggest changing would be the left side of the background. It is very white and bright to the left hand side of the render and attracts the eyes. Perhaps painting it a bit darker like a light grey or giving the edges of the wings a thicker outline.
9.5/10

Ok I have been trying to figure out what style I am best at and what I like most in a banner. I found out that for me, simplicity is key. A good example of what I mean is Animadversion's second banner. I tried my very first actual attempt at a simple banner could not finish it. I have no idea what to put in the left side. I am going to post it here and hopefully someone can help me complete this banner.

Rate away and help me fill that awful blank on the left side...

@Motsuko: 10x.. you're being too nice ^^ hehe
oh that blurry part around her hands is just another petal but it's closer, so I blurred it to create depth of field but I'm not quite sure if it worked or not.. Thanks for the advice man, I might try to brighten it up a bit more later, so it's less "hard" I guess.

Now onto your banner. It's really neat. I'll divide my ratings into sections:

Text: As Loki said the text bar doesn't work too well, it makes look like a postcard or something ;D
Script fonts don't seem to work well with banners in most cases, but considering the theme, I guess you can make it look good. But you should remember that you shouldn't rely on text in your banners.. the render and the background speak for themselves, the text comes afterwards, so you should try to keep the text as simple as possible because it's not really the center of attention.
I don't care about the SOTW part since it's obligatory and you'll probably remove it if you want to showcase this later on.

Background and render: The match perfectly but I guess it's pale, try adding more contrast to it.

Scanlines:
We all love scan lines and I must admit that I abused them at some point, but looking back now, they ruin the banner. Try setting them on overlay and on a 10% opacity.. they'll be hardly noticeable and they'll give you the effect you want ^^

Overall, it's a great banner =)
I can't believe I just wrote all that :O Probably will never do that again xD


@Loki:
Just like Animad said.. it's way overcrowded and I don't really think it flows much.. Some lines are heading right and others are heading left. There's not much more I can say since I have no experience in this style of banners... >.>

@Animad:
1st banner: The background looks incredible, the same goes for the text's alignment. But like you said the render doesn't really suit the background. I think you can try to add more colors to the background to make it work or maybe make a B&W banner.. I like the stars btw.

2nd banner: It's beautiful, I absolutely adore it ^^
Text: 8/10 A bit too large but suits the render so it looks great
Render and background: 9/10. Love the clipping mask on the right.
Though, I disagree with Perfectionist.. I would keep the left side as it is since the light source comes from the right.
Everything else just rocks.. Good job..

@Perfectionist: I'll come back in a couple of hours and rate this since I have to leave now. Sorry ^^

Erm, rating time?

Perfectionist: I like that banner, it's very plain and simple, but...the image stands-out more, and the image doesn't really blend well, but don't take it from me. I'm a noob. o___O

For the blank space, i suggest a clipping mask or something. I dunno, I stink at banner making.

Another crappy banner. I stink at text so I put little text. I just made this theme out of boredom, and I was tired of my old crappy theme.

Rei Yuki:

Compliments:
I like this banner for its simplicity. The renders match well with the background which is always a good thing. I think that the colours are great mainly because beige is one of my favourite colour. =P

Constructive Criticism:
The background is a bit blurry. Try sharpening it up a bit to give it a bit of *twang*. The clipping masks work effectively but would look much better if you blended them in a bit more. Try erasing the edges so they are a bit softer on the eye. You could also try smudging/brushing over the edges of the clipping masks to make them blend in as well. I also think that you should change the layer property on the clipping masks. i.e: change it to screen/soft light etc. Alternatively you could add a filter to make it look a bit different from the renders, because right now the clipping masks aren't very eye catchy.
Another thing I picked up is the black border on the horizontal edges. The bottom border thing is thicker than the top one. =P Easily fixed though.

@Perfectionist: It is a very neat banner. Nice and Simple. I'm not expert in vector banners but I think maybe you should fill that empty space on the left with more vector brushes and implement the text in there as well...

@Rei Yuki: It matches very well. I like how you blurred the background, bringing the focus to the render, but I'm afraid it's blurred a bit too much.
Those four rectangles must disappear ;D or at least fixed, but I have no idea how.. maybe try following Perfectionist's method..

I'm in this thread, rating ur graphics. I haven't posted in a while. ;; I'll make up for it!

If my comments suck, please shoot me. D;

Uryū Ishida's MomoxToshiro banner; I think it looks better without the scanlines, the scanlines make it rough looking and since it's suppose to be sweet and lovish, it doesn't really match the banner. And also the background is kinda blurry.

Poke'd's Ichigo hollow banner; I like the simplicity of it, but I think you need to work on text abit, it doesn't look right where they're situated.

Poke'd's 2nd banner;
It's too smudged for my taste, and yeah, still need to work on that text placing, it's too close to the border.

CheesePeow's Edward banner;
I really like it, but on the left of it, you don't really know what's happening there. @[email protected]; Not much to say, 'cept the yellow bit is too yellow? XD;

DarkChild's SOTW entry; That's so prettyful. :D But I think the renders are too oversharpened and don't really match the background, because it makes the background blurry. ^^;

Motsuko Live's SOTW entry; I like the colours. <3 But the SOTW wording is kinda too pink for the banner. Also, like I said about Uryū's, the scanlines make it have a rough kind of texture, which doesn't match a love theme.. ^^;;

Loki's I have no idea who that is banner.. XD; Yeah I like the last product. :3 But the lighting doesn't really seem to fit IMO, one of them is making him look like he's crying.. XD;

Animadversion's SOTW entry; Aw, it's cute, but yeah, the render doesn't match the background.. XD Maybe you should make the render more pinkish?

Animadversion's 2nd banner;
Yay for simplicity! Overall, it's a nice banner. ^^ I'm a sucker for simple banners. :P

Perfectionist's banner;
The purple brush doesn't really seem to fit since not much of the render is purple. And the render needs more blending, it kind of sticks out, alot.. ^^;;

Rei Yuki's Banner; It's cute, but the background is kinda blurry. I never really liked the banners that have parts of the render cut apart.. ^^;;

@Akari: I really like the background on the Lelouch banner. Though, I don't know how to word it properly, so I'll say it looks a little "@[email protected]". It's just... I dunno, for me it takes quite a bit of focus of the render because the background is so engaging. XD

As for the first one, how old is it? Like before or after you decided to change styles? It just really reminds me of your old one, but it might have been made then... XD

Yay for mixed feelings about a banner. =x

Evilcheese: Good, you realized. xD You do need to step away from overusing your c4d's, but there's two major problems in the banner you just posted:

1. Clipping Mask
2. Lighting

1. You might want to pay attention to your clipping masks. You never want to make them too big, otherwise they'll distract from the focal. Also, I find that I almost always disagree with you when you suggest someone put a clipping mask, but that might just be a personal opinion, but I do think you need to add a little more work and experience with clipping masks to your palette before suggesting other people use it- because it's easy for a clipping mask to hide and smooth over everything, thus defeating the purpose of putting anything there in the first place. xD;

2. The lighting is completely un-believable. You'll want to look at the shadow's on your render before just randomly sticking a light source anywhere you want. If you look at the render you've got, the light is coming from from behind her than above her.

Also, I'm not sure about how that brush/thing covers the very end of her chin. xD Just a small irritating detail. Again, your text needs work. For putting text somewhere circular, you should use the text warp tool and arc it, so that if follows the bend of the circle. ;D The extra text, 'evil' on the left, is also kind of uneeded. The border is cool though, and though the colors are a bit too 'yellow' and the banner could definitely use an underwater or cooling photo filter, it's overall not too bad a shot for a new style.

Reply to Animadversion; It was just before the current theme, I missed my style so yeah. :<

Now ratings..

Animadversion;
I like the effects of the DMC one, but some brushing or texture on Nero's face is bothering me. D; And the second one is good, cept it kind of fades out, near her "regions" XD; And the smudging on her face makes it look a bit dirty.

evilcheese;
It seems a bit oversharpened to me, and I'm not really a fan of big clipping masks. And like Loki said, the lighting is situated badly. :x

Replyish post to Akari. You don't need to rate the banner below if you post after me, I'm just showing my edits. XD

I took me a minute, but I finally figured out what you were talking about. i wasn't sure what your complaint about the bewbs were though, so I turned down the blending there.



That should be right.

Animad: It's beautiful, though the background looks kinda plain on the upper left side.
Also I noticed that you used the same text alignment as your other banner...

Akari: Everyone seems to like that render, it's probably the 3rd time I see that same render hehe..
Anyway, the fiery effects in the background goes very well with your render and I love the text blended in the back, that was an awesome touch.
Though I'm not sure what those "arrows" on the left represent..
One thing that's bugging me though is the colors.. they're kinda hard on the eyes, but that's more of a personal opinion...

So this is my current signature: It's.... different from what I usually do...I guess I'm trying something new.

Edit: The background is made by Kyomu from Deviant Art. LINK
And those are two different renders...

DarkChild; Wow, that's really creative. ^^ I like it. Simplicity is awesome. <3 And the blending is really good. You'd actually think the renders were actually part of the picture.

Poke'd; Does it say Strife on the first one? Because that gundam is actually called Strike.. I think... o.O *is shot*

Anywho.. The first one has okay good blending, it makes it look like the gundam is coming out of fire, but I don't like how it's orange then it has blue sides. And the writing is hard to read. As for the second one, I've seen that render so many times.. XD But it's really bright. Yellow coloured tags are really hard to do, because yellow is quite a bright colour.
