@ The Fire's [Inside]: It's nice, but it's seems a little bit... plain :/
As much as I like that vector border you added, it seems to be lacking some things in the center background of the banner.
Also, the two renders are confusing my eyes... I don't know what I'm suppose to look at! a.k.a, the focal point needs a bit of work.
I absolutely love the pen stroke... that is a pen stroke, is it not?

Anyway, pretty nice banner. I'd try adding a little more brushes in the background etc, and the color is a little dry. What I've found (through many trial and errors), is that it's best to use full, bright colors when working with vector art. It helps add to the image.
I'd say this is a 7.4/10.

Wow, with this new shop, I haven't had much time to make anything for myself :/
But I did manage to squeeze this in;



I'm probably going to remove that grid... it's starting to really annoy me.

@ Live: It's well done. But as you said, I would remove the grid... I don't like it on the render... but the grid on the background isn't so bad.
I would like to see it without the grid cause it keeps my attention on it. ^^;
But other than that... I would say 8//10 ;D
I think the lighting is a little weird on the left side... too yellow... XD

Remember the way I was, for me.

@ Gummy: You're getting a lot better. It seems like just yesterday I was helping you out with your "Photpshop Problem" xD.
Anyway, I like this one. It would look alot better without the arrows, though. Also, the text is a little... odd. It's red and green. :/
Those colors just stick out way to much for me.

Good job on the blending. You may want to ease up on the sharpening, but I like the position of the render.

Anyway, like I was saying, you're getting really good. Keep it up! 8/10.

Reply to Motsuko: Thanks Motsuko, and I know what you mean. I can't thank you enough for helping me with that "problem." XD. About the arrows... I mistakenly merged it with the background before I started smudging, and I didn't want to under the nice smudging just to remove the arrows. I guess I should have made the clipping mask a darker green. And I those the text colors were nice, since the red part is right under the blood splatter and the majority of the banner is green.

Anyways, thanks for the advice and comments!

It's full of colour :O
You posted the same image xD;… wait you changed it or I'm seeing things xD;
Eh the smudging could use more work so it has a proper looking direction… or the edges were sharper to look like they were cut out and pasted ._.
I'd like to see more of the black & white polka dot effect.

I never really was good at smudging ;P. Thats why im trying it over and over.
And yes, the edges were sharpened a bit, I was trying to add some depth by bluring the left side of the sig, but it looked bad.
Plus, the polka dot was the stock with a clipping mask, But I do think it would look good somewhere o.o Thanks though.

CheesePeow, it's a very nice banner, but your light source doesn't really "blend" with your background. I really don't like how it's sticking out like that.. I hope that makes any sense..
Colors, text and border are nice.
coming back looking delicious

clade. - So you made a pretty good banner! It has a few things to touch up, and concepts you can work on. One it is a little mono-tone, so bring in some brighter colors. I kindal like what you did with the intence c4ds, but blend it a little better, or differently (for some reason the c4d over the hand is bothering me).

I think I get the concept of you're sig, but you can work on it to perfect it! Great Job!

Nothing wrong with being a whore XPP


Me looking at your first one El Capitano. Next to the face on the left it looks like there is some kind of dog or wolf figure ...I don't know whether its meant to be like that and I'm just stating the obvious XP But me see it. I likes it ^^
Me quite like it, the bottom of the shoulder on my right looks a bit odd.
Like the colours.


*looks through photobucket*



Done that about a year ago, a little less, I have a feeling I didn't complete it. Lol, yes a very long time. I'm going to stay quiet now as I tend to look and criticize my own work (I can see loads) but me let the next poster do that.

@Renneh: I share clade.'s opinion.

Wow, I haven't submitted a banner in a while. I've had no time. >< I found some today though. =D

I'm slowly breaking out of my slump. Not quite there yet, though. XDD

Thank you ^^ Yeh it was hard because the angle of the head was so wide on the girl ^^ And I think I left the left side blank as I didn't want to do anything to ruin it.

Me thought you guys were going to point out that you can see where it repeats XP See the line on the far right? Big whoops... XP


.fate- I love the image you used and the main colour of the background. It seems somewhat simple (Loads of simple subtle touches that me love but others seem to not always like). Its great. I'm not sure whether its the image but the eye on my right of the guy, seems a little blurred/glared/forgotten technical name for it. Or its my eyes ^^


Okey, next one...



I wanted to practice a technique (pen tool, round the leg) and me couldn't think of any theme other than sawcks! I drew those weird little hearts as well that I wish I had drawn going in the other direction but me were pretty new and direction wasn't in my vocabulary list. XP

@ Renneh - I like what you decided to do with the Pen tool, but the hearts are really rigged, and, though this is just my opinion, it would look better if you added a border of some sort. Everything on the right-hand side is really well put together. I really enjoy looking at that, even though it may seem strange. However, the left-hand side is really ... different compared to the rest of the colors. It's probably just the hearts, because they seem to not match with the maroon-like color. Probably, changing the color or lowering the opacity might work well.

It looks okay but it is a bit plain. I would put the bottom text somewhere else. And I would fade the 2nd set of your username a tad more.
