The animation is.... well..... not that great :confused: ?

I'm sorry to say....

I like what you are going for, but maybe you should tween that fade..... and not have words AND sprite fade.... maybe the sprite itself only, and with the words, I'm not sure what you should do with them. If there is not a border (I never noticed one...) than add it.

You get an A for effort at least. Touch it up a bit and I'm sure it will be great!

Good luck :P

tween the animation, add a border, make a more interesting bg, use a better pic (not a sprite)
No offense AC, but he should be able to leave the sprite if he wants too... who are you to tell him what image he is(n't) allowed to use.... besides.... I don't think that there is an official picture of that fakemon anyway... so he is pretty much stuck with that sprite.

-_- it's a thing called constructive criticism, ever heard of it? the sprites make it look less clean. they naturally don't crop well, and are often pixelated. also, try saving that as a PNG, it'll be less pixely. and DarkPhoenix, i know what i've been doing, i've been doing banners for a loooong time.

XD Eh.... and you assume I haven't? Trust me.... I have been doing banners for quite some time... Constructive Criticism isn't telling him to do another banner entirely, it is telling him how to develop what he already has to make it better....

Let's see.... You told him to

a) Get a new image,
b) Get a better background,
c) Add a border.

To me, that is telling him to make a new banner. I told him how to fix what he already has...

Not all banners have to be made up of pictures you know... I've seen some nice one's with sprites in them... I'm gonna go see if I have any...

Yeah.... I;ve just realized, that that font has got to go.... possibly change it to something more.... ummm..... eye-candyish? Here is a link to a font that would look quite nice with that banner:

And a simple 1/1/1px black/white/black border would work nice. With the banner you are doing, you have to make it fancy or it quite doesn't work...
