@Xeno - Those two are adorable. ;3 The effects are minimal, but minimal works here. Looks great. :D The text is uber cute too.

@Shika - The colors are too washed out. I recommend getting rid of the gradient map, if you used one, and up'd the saturation on that baby.

@mitz - The Sonic one is a bit plain. I recommend using textures as a background, rather than just something to slap on over the stock to make it look "nice." It generally doesn't look so nice. Same goes for the Glaceon one.

@Sasuke - They're okay, but I suggest not abusing the radial blur filter so much. It looks nice in small doses. Don't be afraid to use different colors, and not every tag needs text.

@evilcheese - Easy there, boy! You don't need so many effects there. It could still have nice potential after you got rid of some of the lightning bolts.

And now for meeee~

@mizt - looks a little empty ok well alot empty. the texture doesnt match glaceon, try using an icy texture.

@color me evil - i know i went a little crazy with it. anyway your banner is pretty nice. it has good affects and the text is awsome. two things i would say is the color scheme doesnt match that well and a border would make it look nicer.

have another one



used a c4d and some smudging put them both on a nice blending mode lowered the opacity and got a little nice affect.

@evilcheese - How does the color scheme not match?! O_O Blue and yellow are complementary colors - it's in their definition to match. Colors 101, my friend... Anyways, the stock blends in too much with the background. Try to make it pop out a little more.

@mitz - Not rating yours cause you didn't rate mine. (:

XD Thought so... But the render is naughty. It won't blend in if I don't use 2 Gradient Maps D:

It's awesome. I am guessing you clipping-masked the spatter which works pretty well. And are those pink lines made with pen tool? simply amazing. Also nice lightings and such. The only thing that bother me is the word 'Chick' (I think so) is mixed with teh pika's tail. xD

Im not gonna rate them cause you didnt rate mine.
Wow. You didn't rate and the banner you posted can be found at the same page, which I consider as bumping. And yet another post count added to you. 0.0 I totally don't want to rate this now...

Mizt; Yeah, you can re-post it if it's on a different page, but not if it's on the same page. ^^; Anyway, it's a definite improvement. I personally don't really like pokemon banners, but regardless, it'd look pretty good if you lowered the opacity on the text, or made it smaller at the very least. But again, you've over-used the dotty/starry brush in the back, so perhaps try to make a few differences. THe texture fits nicely though.

Color Me Evil; I think the colors go fine too. o_o; Well, disregarding the other comments... Like I said earlier, pokemon banners make me cringe. xD But the aside, it's a great banner. I think adding a whole border would ruin the white effect at the bottom, but you could've added a 1pt border at the very top if it was truly nesseccary. I definitely like your Utada banner better than this one, but the text is equally awesome in this banner. ^^ I want your text skills! *fish'd*

evilcheese; Well, it's certainly much better than my first banner. <_<; If my first banner even counts as a banner. xD Regardless, the text is painful. It's good that it's somewhat blended for a first attempt, but I hope that was the first and the last time you ever used anything similar to 'dissolve'. It's a terrible blending mode, in my opinion. :< Also, due to the crazy-obvious-and-un-blended-text, a border would certainly help.




Also, I was thinking of restarting this thread? Just a yay or nay will do. xD

Please don't reply to this question unless you're posting a graphic to be rated, or rating someone else's graphic. Anything otherwise will be considered SPAM.

Mizt; Yes, that was SPAM. Since this is your second time in this forum, you'll recieve a warning for it. Keep on topic, and if it's truly that hard to stay on topic, read the thread title before posting. <_<

evilcheese; Next time, do me a favor and report the post so that I don't have to hunt for it myself, okay? xD; Thanks.

Anyway, you have lots of major problems in both banners evilcheese, and those include busy backgrounds that take the focus off of anything and everything, text that stands out way too much or is really hard to read, and too much blending.

There's a limit to blending, and if you do it too much, like in your Naruto banner, the render disappears in your busy backgrounds. It's total overkill dude. xD The lighting in the Naruto banner is a good attempt, but it's, "hard to believe". It just doesn't look natural. xD;

Also, your banners are somewhat large. Have you ever considered making them smaller? <_<;; Or varying their sizes? *fish'd*




Anyway, I made a Tsuna - ReBorn! banner, and I was wanting your opinion on which one looks better. Or you could just pick one and comment on that single one, whatever you like. xD



With texture and without texture, respectively.

I'll probably use this theme after I get tired of my Kanda/Lenalee theme, but I'm itching to use it. xDD
