The art in that banner was drawn by myself, so was most of the banner, including some of the scratches, blood, brushes etc. :x

The last two are colored manga that I colored, of course. Gnf.

Yes, I am Sammi from serebiiforums, so please don't go off to PM me on that forum about some person stealing my graphics. :/ If someone else does it, sure, go ahead and report it. Also, don't use anything from here (or anything that I've made) unless I specifically made it for you or granted you permission to use it. What happens when you use my stuff without my consent? I'll go "OMNOMNOM :UUUUUUU" and try to kill you, immaturely. Oh um, really harsh crit is welcome. I love that the most. :'D And no, I don't take requests. Request from me and be omnomnom'd.

 

[PB.]

Wow, These are really awesome. Consider me a fan :D

 

[Glitter Stain]

Wow, I think our Sammi was talking about you in another thread. O:

Anyway, the first two banners are quite good, but I don't really understand the third.

 

[YOOM-TAH]

I like that you draw some of your work. The two you provided links to (because of the colors, which I see no problem with) are the best ones.

:'D Thank youuuuuuuu~

Wow, I think our Sammi was talking about you in another thread. O:

Maybe she was, 'cause I had another account, like last year. I made this account (I used to be Sammi-chan or something like that D':) because I couldn't remember the password on the other account, and the password retrieval didn't work, 'cause the e-mail it was registered on wasn't the e-mail I was using anymore and I forgot the password to that one. *shot*

Erm, you mean the "vongola family" one? Or another? It's the third one shown. (unless your firewall is a (censored) like mine and blocks random images for no reason) I'll explain it. Well, most of the characters in the banner are from the "vongola family" in the anime series "Katekyo Hitman Reborn" so yeah. I couldn't think of anything else, really.

I like that you draw some of your work. The two you provided links to (because of the colors, which I see no problem with) are the best ones.

Ah, thank you. I like those ones the best, too, tbh, since I'm a fan of blinding colors that kill my friend's eyes. x) And yeah, I draw some of my work since I can't find the resources I need often, so then I resort to my drawing skills to make whatever designs, 'cause I know I can do it, but it just takes more effort and time. x_o

... you are allowed to comment back on people that commented in your thread, right?

 

[YOOM-TAH]

Yeah, you're allowed to respond to your feedback. :)

I wish I could draw too because I always get so many great ideas that I can't really make unless I were to draw them. Oh well.

BTW those two sigs don't have blinding colors at all. They're perfectly normal-looking.

 

[THIRTY-SIX]

Nice work. Maybe you could've had the b in dumbstruck red instead.
Can't wait to see more. =D

SAMMI XDD:1asdfafdshaw4e67 Hi, it's your bestfriend loser pal XDDD

Dumbstruck is well made. It's black and white, which in most cases is epic fail, but in your case, it's great. I love how you added the red to offset for the dullness and bring more of a "I should look at the details" kind of thing. I also like the faded lines that makes it look like a photo.

I FIXED MY SPELLING. I BLAME IT ON CAMMI! (:<

A single daisy is also goody with the photo-ish look. The black is cool and such. Blah blah you've heard this before from tons of kids. But I will crit. I have to admit, I'm getting tired of seeing that circle thing in a bunch of your banners. It's used in different ways, but I can't help that little pet peeve of mine. I love the red effect too.

First color one that I'm too lazy to post the real name to is purty. The rounded border and the text is a change from what you normally do, and I like that lots. The colors make up for the no brushing, and that's cool. I suppose you used selective color? Well, yeah aab whawph I'm running sentences really odd, sorry Sammi :x. Overall, this is a favorite of mine from you.

Colorful two is not a favorite of mine, sorry D: While I like the little border around what's his HER face, the colors seem too non-extravigant and boring. Again, to the noob's eyes, it looks amazingly awesome, but I don't love too much. :s

6918, OK?!is awesome. I love the way you were able to fit the red in. On the one hand, it brings the extreme brightness of the blues and whites down, while on the other it gives a nice offset feature thing. Like if neon green slime oozes from a white wall -shot'ddd- sorry I'm talking to Cammi XDD. And you know I suck at animeish or whatever pairings. I just roll like that XDD

Avy #1 Good. I like the selective color change. Nice and bright. It brings out May's bandana and eyes.

Avy #2 is a little hard to make out with the colors so close together. However, it's still good and sammilishious.

Avy #3 At first, I didn't like it. The blurriness was bothering me alone [even though with the theme it didn't matter], but I understand now. I think the way you made it from detailed to blurry was intelligent. IT'S INTELLIGENT BECAUSE I SAY SO! GET THAT STRAIGHT, SAMMI! D:<


That's it, I guess D: I love your new sense of color design and such, Sammi! It's really nice and great compared to what you once did. A long while back, I thought your banners were perfect and couldn't get any better. Now, looking back on that, I was wrong. You're getting better with each banner, and I can't wait to see more. (:


Double edit: I win? ):< Yezzz I think soooooo. :rawr

Triple. YES I DO WIN BECAUSE IF I DON'T WIN THEN I LOSE WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE LOSING FOR ME HAPPENS ONLY IN A DREAM OF A DREAM FOR ME. aaaaannnnndddd NO THIS IS NOT A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM. MWAHHA OGSDIN AG!!


we should shuddap now ._.;;

OH FISH MICHII YOU JUST GAVE ME A HUGE WALL OF TEXT TO RESPOND TO

Yeah, you're allowed to respond to your feedback. :)

I wish I could draw too because I always get so many great ideas that I can't really make unless I were to draw them. Oh well.

BTW those two sigs don't have blinding colors at all. They're perfectly normal-looking.

Ah yeah, that happens to me a lot too. I'm all like "HAY I'M GONNA DO THIS BUT HOWWWWW OH FISH I CAN'T DRAW THIS IT'S TOO COMPLEX" and then I... forget about it and when I remember it, I get stressed and stuff. ;;

Nice work. Maybe you could've had the b in dumbstruck red instead.
Can't wait to see more. =D

Hmm, if the b was red then I'd find it too centered, but yeah, thanks for the comment!

Oh fish. Here comes the big wall of text.

SAMMI XDD:1asdfafdshaw4e67 Hi, it's your bestfriend loser pal XDDD

lasjkfljkaslkgggaijaksjkfjakf spare me oh lovely godess who made me a birthday present when i fishing forgot to make you one

Dumbstruck is well made. It's black and white, which in most cases is epic fail, but in your case, it's great. I love how you added the red to offset for the dullness and bring more of a "I should look at the details" kind of thing. I also like the faded lines that makes it look like a photo.

@In red: FIXED YOUR SPELLING.

@Rest: No it's more of "YOU (CENSORED)ING (CENSORED) LOOK AT THE (CENSORED)ING DETAILS YOU (CENSORED)". GET IT RIGHT, MICHII. D:<

A single daisy is also goody with the photo-ish look. The black is cool and such. Blah blah you've heard this before from tons of kids. But I will crit. I have to admit, I'm getting tired of seeing that circle thing in a bunch of your banners. It's used in different ways, but I can't help that little pet peeve of mine. I love the red effect too.

Actually, I think I don't use the circle texture enough, but, yeah, you have a point. It looks retarded there. Fishhhhhhhhhhhh. Such a simple mistake that I'm too lazy to fix. *run over*

First color one that I'm too lazy to post the real name to is purty. The rounded border and the text is a change from what you normally do, and I like that lots.

Overall, this is a favorite of mine from you.

HEY THAT'S MY FAVOURITE TOO! /shot. Yeah it was selective color + curves + levels + color layers + I don't remember or care anymore.

Colorful two is not a favorite of mine, sorry D: While I like the little border around what's his face, the colors seem too non-extravigant and boring. Again, to the noob's eyes, it looks amazingly awesome, but I don't love too much. :s

THE "HE" IS A SHE. ;~~~~~~~; She looks too much like Mukuro, doesn't she. And yeah, a lot of other people don't like that banner as well. I find the colors bright and fun but aksjfkjf. The thing that bugs me the most about that banner is the coloring on her face. IT'S PIXELATED WHATHOW

... I can't stop thinking that the banner needs to be even more bright, though. Oh god. Kill me before I infest the world with COLURZZZ.

Sasodei? is awesome. I love the way you were able to fit the red in. On the one hand, it brings the extreme brightness of the blues and whites down, while on the other it gives a nice offset feature thing. Like if neon green slime oozes from a white wall -shot'ddd- sorry I'm talking to Cammi XDD

IT'S 6918, NOT SASODEI

.................................................................................

Anyway, yeah, thanks. Tell Cammi no danna that I luffs her. <333

Avy #1 Good. I like the selective color change. Nice and bright. It brings out May's bandana and eyes.

it wasn't supposed to bring out her bandanaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa fiasjhfkf

Avy #3 At first, I didn't like it. The blurriness was bothering me alone [even though with the theme it didn't matter], but I understand now. I think the way you made it from detailed to blurry was intelligent.

HOW IS IT INTELLIGENT

That's it, I guess D: I love your new sense of color design and such, Sammi! It's really nice and great compared to what you once did. A long while back, I thought your banners were perfect and couldn't get any better. Now, looking back on that, I was wrong. You're getting better with each banner, and I can't wait to see more. (:

Actually my photoshop skills are dying very very fast imo (or maybe it's the lack of inspiration) and omg I need to go make my lunch now 'cause then I can use my new chopsticks that I bought at my friend's mom's store.

But thanks for your big wall of text; I'm taking a lot of the negative points you pointed out into consideration. I really need to stop it with the circles, don't I? *looks through photobucket* ........... oh god yeah I do.

EDIT: Oh yes. I should stop boring you with my chit chat. Here's a few more things.

A request done a long time ago. I can't believe I forgot about this one.

EDIT: Michii you sneaky thing, editing your post to make you look more intelligent by correcting it pointlessly with my pointless pointings to your post in this post which was--- okay I'll stop now. /even more pointless edit AND NO YOU DO NOT WIN

 

[Hazuki]

Hhhhhaaaaaiiiii Sssssaaaammmmiiiii~ :D

I really have no idea how to rate your banners since you are so perfect in doing them. ;;

First one: Simple designs are awesome, and they really are but so many stupid people don't know what the f*** that is. I like the lighting and the selective coloring the red. And the text is pure win. ;D

Second one: Daisies. Hooray. Like Mishy said, me likes the red spot and the photo-y look. And the circle thing can go, because like Mish said, it's been used quite a bit. Try a triangle next time! -shot'd-

I'm gonna skip to the.... if you don't mind

Smexy yaoi thing: HHHHHOOOOLLLLYYYY CCCCRRRRAAAAPPP~ How did you draw that? It's like... "epic" win. :D The last drawing I saw from you was Konata so you've improved. oo You used the circle thing again I don't get what the blood has to do with it. But it doesn't matter. I like it. :D it stands out I will use this as inspiration in the future! -shot'd again-.

I'mma go skip down to the Link avvi. I like the coloring, it's like a professional's art-style-thing-whatever you want to call it. But.... what's up with the blurred circle? Like to me, I think the circle could go it's the same circle??? and leave it like that with the coloring. But I like it. And seriously, what's not to like from a Sammi made graphic? :D

Last rating is the wallpaper I'm too lazy to rate the rest because I suck at rating your perfect stuff. Sakura Addiction lol XDDDD It's just simple that makes it so awesome. OMG IT'S ANOTHER CIRCLE THING -shot'ddddd- I don't really know what else you did in there other than desaturate it, maybe more? Nah, better like this.

I'mma done rating, now please don't kill me. I wub you Sammi ;;

 

[Vanilla Kitsune]

OMG. The Windwaker manga banner is love. Ima gonna have steal borrow it. Your coloring is amazing. I wish I could be as awesome at manga coloring as you. I love the texture you used and the bright colors!

For your other banners, they are just as amazing. I'm still inlove with the Windwaker banner though. <3

Much love to you. MAKE MORE ZELDA GRAPHICS KTHXBAI.

Hur hur hur graphic dump. WHY DIDN'T ANYONE CRIT THE OTHER THINGS I POSTED IN MY POST TO MICHII OR WAS IT NOT NOTICEABLE

I really have no idea how to rate your banners since you are so perfect in doing them. ;;

There's flaws everywhere. D:

I like it. :D it stands out I will use this as inspiration in the future! -shot'd again-.

The circle thing is a weird uneven circle that I drew. And yeah, that's when I was worse at drawing than I am now. lululul.

I'mma go skip down to the Link avvi. I like the coloring, it's like a professional's art-style-thing-whatever you want to call it. But.... what's up with the blurred circle? Like to me, I think the circle could go it's the same circle??? and leave it like that with the coloring. But I like it. And seriously, what's not to like from a Sammi made graphic? :D

It's not a blurred circle; it's a radial blur, and I erased whatever was over Link, to make it look more focused on him, since when I cropped the icon, it was all busy and... didn't just focus on link. Also there's a lot not to like from my stuff. Aka BLINDING COLURZZZZZZZZZ

Last rating is the wallpaper I'm too lazy to rate the rest because I suck at rating your perfect stuff. Sakura Addiction lol XDDDD It's just simple that makes it so awesome. OMG IT'S ANOTHER CIRCLE THING -shot'ddddd- I don't really know what else you did in there other than desaturate it, maybe more? Nah, better like this.

Desaturation + pattern laying + brushing + filtering + light textures + more desaturation + text + scratch textures + idk

I'mma done rating, now please don't kill me. I wub you Sammi ;;

I would neverrrrrrrrrrrrrr kill you~ *hides knives*

OMG. The Windwaker manga banner is love. Ima gonna have steal borrow it. Your coloring is amazing. I wish I could be as awesome at manga coloring as you. I love the texture you used and the bright colors!

YAY ANOTHER PERSON WHO LOVES BLINDING COLORSSSSSSSS

Much love to you. MAKE MORE ZELDA GRAPHICS KTHXBAI.

:UUUUUUU
OM NOM NOM MAYBE

 

[YOOM-TAH]

Haha I like the second one there, it's a pretty cool style.

 

[Renyui!]

Nice stuff! I like your style, nappo, it's so bright and colourful! I always wondered how you do it!

 

[cieux]

Ohaidere. I gots an actual new banner rather than stuff I fished out of my PB account.

... Lulz. Yeah, it's dark, kinda different from most of what I do, and well, I tried to make it not blinding. I also tried a different style. Hmm.
Original: https://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb243/Sammi-Poke/Signatures/lawl-orig.png
Without the color layers and stuff.

@YOOM-TAH: Your username is pretty cool, too. ... uh, back on topic, yeah, it's all abstract and stuff.
@Renyui: It's just selective coloring + color layers + saturation + whatever you can think of. Imagination's the way to go, haha. I've only looked at around four tutorials (half which I can't remember) during my whole graphic career, 'cause of my imagination rule. ^^; I find that it's better to just use whatever comes to mind and stuff, and experiment by yourself.
