Babylon:I'm not going to rate it, cause you didnt rate pinnochio's.
Pinnochio:Ironman,eh? well, for a start, try blending in the render by smudging, and the background or brushes dont really suit it. However, the C4D is nice, and the colours are good.

Poke'd: Its all pretty good effects, and is a nice sig. But the monotone ness is agrivating. Its almost like it is b/w. Just add somemore color to it and it should really improve.

clade: For some reason the redness of the sig is not going for me. It seems like the render is completely soaked in red, and that does not apeal to me. Also the blue and red splatters in the bg, kinda clash and also doesent apeal to me.

same as Poke'd just work on coloring. the effects are there, just get the color compo right.

Please CnC this:

The first banner I like very much. The effects and brushes are great! The only thing I would recommend and I'm sure everyone else would to would be to add a render. Sure the banner looks great but the eyes do not know where to look and there is no focal point. A render will help contain the eyes to one spot and help the overall flow of the banner.

The second banner is very bright. It almost hurts the eyes because of the bright oranges and yellow which isn't always a bad thing. I see you have used similar brushes to the one above. The colours and design of the background matches the render very well and the flow is great. I think that ripple like effect on either side of his head is kinda distracting.

Rate Please?

4th Banner skills?

Pinnochio: First of all, my first banner isnt supposed to have a render kuz Loki's assignment in his class says to make a sig withought a render.

Ok on to your work. Dude you improve like crazy. Your first sig was really boring, than your 2nd 3rd and 4th are like a different person! great job! =]

Um you can work on adding more effects and colors. Kuz right now its all just green and boring. What you want to have in your sig is something that will make it pop. And most people assume that it is always the render (wich you did ^^). Just find what you do best, and use it in a way that can make your banners look exciting. Just look at some of the more experianced banner makers here, like Shina and Loki they all have ways to make there own sigs interesting.

Keep the good work.


Ok here is my resubmit for SOTW10.



CnC is greatly apreciated.

El Captino: I like it, but the random dots around the place put it off a bit, plus I dont think clouds and stars give it that vampire-ish feel. It looks a bit empty in the background as well.

Id hate to be the person below ;).

I changed my old signature, moved the text and added some stuff.


My new theme ;D.

I think that if you are going to put a border, make it a light colour like white. Very plain but still looks great. I like the text which fits in nicely with the banner, the render is positioned well and it is blended in greatly. Those swirls look good and suit everything else.

Rate me entry for SOTW "Vampires".

Gummy: Hokay first off its a pretty nice banner overall. But I dont like how there is no light source. The other thing that is bothering me is the wierd motion blur set at a blending mode over the render effect. I dunno it just doesent work in my opinion.

All of the vector brushing is cool, and the text placement is very sly haha. KIU (keep it up)

I luv me' acronyms hehehehe 'shot'd'


Could someone CnC this new one i made. Its kinda just a special one, I really like it. Hope you guys do.

munna: For the first two, I like the second better for its color. However, the text REALLY stands out and I'm not sure if you even wanted me to look at the render. The second set is better but now things are just too plain. And there was really nothing added to the avatar.

A couple of small banners to fit SPPf's freaky signature rules:

I will rate your second banner.
The render is in a great position and helps the flow of the banner. The background is very powerful and looks great. I love that smudging in the bottom right corner. I think the lighting is a bit bright and obvious so try lowering the opacity.

OK here is my banner, I have been told by many people I need to work on blending so here's my attempt.

I have not a clue as to what text to put. Suggestions would be great.

Munna: OH WAO. xD While it's creepy as heck, the billboard version is actually really cool. While it's not really... well, I don't know about the effects in the actual banner part, on the billboard it looks really natural, like it was actually there, even though the light effects are kind of different. I like the second to last version the most, since it's sharper and clearer. xD; The kid somehow looks less creepy that way. It looks more like a clown, than a vampire. x_x That's scary.

I really don't know what to say to it though, other than... it's pretty entertaining. xD

I can't find it in me to say anything productive about the Sato Takeru banner, and I shall explain why if you read on.

However, I can find it in me to tell you this: NOOOOOOOOOOO, WHY IS THAT SHIRANUI'S?!?!? ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;



I'm in a slump; an all-over-all-around slump. Can't rate/comment for crap, can't make banners for crap, can't RP for crap, can't understand my finals for crap, and I'm stressing out over all this crap. :<

But Shiranui stole my IMPACT it's different this time. :x for the Sato Takeru banner I wanted to make, saw your request in munna's shop and I was like, KOHEI, KOHEI, KOHEI!! And then he went and made one from the Sato picture. xDDD I was like, "NOOO!!" But I got over it this time pretty fast my OBITO MOMENTUM. ;; because I got to see a very hawt picture of Takeru that I hadn't seen yet. <3 So Shira-chan, if you read this, thank you for the eyecandy. :D and besides, I've only been a sato fan for a few days anyway. I can wait. xD

So anyway.

To alleviate my sadness, I made a Mizushima Hiro banner.




I'll probably end up re-making it. <_< I spent about three hours on this. Can you tell, I'm in the biggest slump of my life? x_o I sat there for ten minutes trying to think of a place where the text could go and I was like, "...Well damn."

Yeah.

It was my first c4d tag for like almost a year .o. Go easy on me xD
Oh I was doing a lot of image manip when I was in university. Though I never bothered with lighting…I left it as natural as possible and I mostly did typography there .o.
Clowns are vampires… masquerading and whatnot.
I guess you found out why .o.
Still did a better c&C job than me. xD
He simply had better colours. o.o
Make the text be a tattoo on his face Less grungy splatters better heavier typeface and a darker colour. Although textless looks good.
It's not really a slump either…

@ Loki: Oh my... I haven't rated in a long time, so please don't beat me again if I do a poor job.
First of all, it's very, very small. Obviously. But, hey! Y'never know. Could be a new fad in a couple hours days.
Anyway, apart from it's size, it's pretty good! Love the colors to bits and peices. But it seems a bit plain for you. Are you, perhaps, developing a new style? *get's very excited*
Maybe a border would work? I don't know if it will look alright or not, but just a suggestion.
I really like that swirly thing near his adam's apple. I'd say that's what makes the sig.
I'd have to agree you're in a slump, Loki. S-Sorry... *cowers in fear*
6/10.

YAY! Finally got up off my lazy as-...

*ahem*

I was going for a vector type banner (obviously):

I don't know about my graphic slump (it's pretty much my worst so far munna, which is why I was making such a big deal. xD I've never been so irritated by the stuff I make) but since I did so well on my finals today, I'm in a considerably better mood than yesterday!

Munna: I'm glad I'm not going to a circus in the near future now. xD Clowns just got a little scarier. *SHOT*

Oh, a tattoo on his face? That sounds cool, even though I would never do that to my dearest-bishounen. At least, not with the stock I used in this banner. xDD As for the color, I actually did have one that was darker, here, check it out:




I don't know whether I like the lighter or darker ones better. xD; I think the tag's blend is worse in the darker one, but the colors and stuff I like better. *choices choices*

Motsuko Live: When it comes to real people in tags, I prefer smaller canvas' Yes, I am trying out a -kind of- new style. It's not working, as you can see. xD

The render: Adorable.
The effects: Adorable.
The text: Not so yummy. ^^;

For vector banners like this, I don't usually enjoy seeing swirly cursive fonts, and especially not at a weird angle that detracts from the flow. You could've turned the word so that it looked as though it was sitting on one of those... um... triangle things. xD That would've been pretty cool. It would've been easy to fill up the empty space with another one of those swirly things in the back. I don't know about that border you chose, but it's not so prominent that it pains me, so I'll live and let live. ;D Your colors are somewhat boring, there's no pop, but it's put together nicely.

Like munna said, I'd love to see it without the drop shadows; but I only want to see the ones on the triangles gone. It's kind of distracting as it is. xD;

Hmm, I'm too lazy to bring up the psd, but I'm pretty sure I have one or two photo filters on there. Ah, I should've added a cooling photo filter. :< Maybe I will, later on.

In the meantime, I think this turned out much better. Maybe I'm getting used to the smudge settings. I also made the canvas size a little bigger. ;>




I really have to stop making so many different versions of things. x_o
