Shiranui's Gallery

[Pikabloo]

Because Macy can't be bothered to think of a fancy title.

WARNING: There are lotsa banners here D:

I finally decided to make one of these simply because I felt like it. Basically, I'll post up my latest banners, or the ones that I think are my best. I'll also try to update it with my newest stuff if I can. The majority of these works were made by me, for me, that is unless I state that I made it for someone else. Please do not steal any of these, or take them and edit them, or claim them yours, or any of that jazz.

Of course, there may be some which I am willing to give away. And if I say (and I will say it in my little comment under the banner) I am giving it away, feel free to PM me for it. But other than that, don't steal. M'kay? 'Kay.

1.

Some character from a game called The Last Remnant. I just thought that the render was cool, so I made a banner out of it.
Also, I needed a break from smudge banners.

---

2.

Aqua, from Kingdom Hearts.

---

3.

Some random stock I found. I'm not sure who it is... -is stupid-

---

4.

Yuffie, Final Fantasy VII. I just used this for a day or something. I may be willing to give it away.

---

5.

Ginko, Mushishi. I... never ended up using this in the end. Although, I doubt anyone here would want it.

---

6.

Neku Sakuraba (?) from the game The World Ends With You (Subarashiki Kono Sekai).

---

7.

A random banner featuring Japanese actor Nakamura Yuichi. Er, yes. I know it's empty.

---

8.

My little Christmas/winter banner~ Sora, Donald, Goofy from Kingdom Hearts (manga).

---

9.

My first and only abstract banner :3

---

10.

Nozomu Itoshiki, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. I never used it.... PM me if you want it, yo

---​

lul, I like to smudge spam.

And I'll stop at 10, because it just seems like a nice number to stop at :3

There are some more older ones I want to post...

Comments are loved <3

Nice banners Shiranui, i like your style and your brush patterns. I especially find aqua's banner great because its simple and its superb. I also like your Abstract banner and i think you are talented at making them, Number 5's efect is also really cool and you've used a nice colour effect.

Overall you're a great Banner maker and i love your banners. Can you you make me one please?

 

[Nytkoi]

I can't belive I forgot to post here! Your banners are awesome, SHira!
9 & 6 are my favorite

 

[Loki]

Whoo! Very pretty gallery Shira-chan. ;3 Your graphics are beyond fabulous, as usual. My favorites are 2, 5, and 6. Your Mushishi and Subarashii Kono Sekai graphics are always awesome.

2 because the colors and direction flow really well, and that secret ending was pure win. xD

5 because well.. The blending that fades into that leafy-floral pattern is amazing. It's majorly awesome in regards to how smooth the blending works out.

6 because... THE LIGHTING IS EPIC WIN. D:< The aura around him is an excellent touch and the colors are awesome. <3

Shadowz: Thanks muchly~ I'm glad you like my style... although I didn't even know that I have a style o___o Eheh, I like my abstract one too <3 I'll probably try and do different abstract styles in the future~ I too like number 5's effects, and I had a clear image of what I wanted it to look like before I started... but now, it looks nothing like what I had imagined D:

Kai.: Eheh, everyone forgets ^^ Thanks for commenting. 6 is one of my favourites too, although I doubt I'd be making any more banners of that style. Because, well, I want to explore other different styles 8D Also, I don't want all my banners to look the same xD

Xenocrates: Yes, that secret ending was indeed pure win. I'm actually surprised that people like 5... although, it did take me ages (and a whole lot of Mushishi manga covers xD) to get that flowery/blending thing going. And you'd think that I would use it after spending so much time on it. Oh, and now I think I need to go and worship thank the guy who made that tutorial for number 6 xD

Continuing my gallery, then. (I changed them to links. Just because. Have fun clicking~)

-spazzes- My most favourite Roxas (Kingdom Hearts) banner, EVER. It's also the first banner I made in that 'style'.

Natsu Dragonil, Fairy Tail. I just wanted to try another 'notepad'-type banner (this isn't the first...). With colour, this time.

Koike Teppei. He looks much better than he sings -shot'd-. I'm kidding. He has an adorable voice x3

---

And here's one that no one here has seen before:

Oh, WOW. I loved this stock when I saw it. But since there was so much stuff going on already in the stock, I couldn't really add any more to it </3
It's Utada Hikaru~

Probably my best Naruto banner, I don't know...

16.
https://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b39/Pikabloo/Forum Sets/ginko3v3.png

This will always be one of my favourites <3 Even though now I look at it, I dislike the C4D usage, and it looks a bit oversharpened. But still, I like it xD

Here are some requested banners I made a really long while ago now:

Natsu from Fairy Tail, for Xenocrates. You have no idea how jealous I got after I made this D:

Besides the text, I liked this. Obviously, spatter banners were once my forte. Made for Ryouki, featuring characters from Solty Rei (?)

Ace (?) from One Piece, for Gary. Ah, I missed those times when I was actually bothered to render things...

Oh, this is very old. Back when I still spammed backgrounds with the same brush again and again. It is definitely my favourite outcome from that period in my banner making life, though. And no, I don't like it just because it features Roxas. Although, that is one of the main reasons... For Cleff/Key.

[Sanctuary]

Ooh. Shiru these are all beautiful!

I love your style and the continuality (that's not a word though. XD) of the style in all your banners!
No.5 is one of the best, I love the way you've blended the image of the dude into the background, absolutely fantastic. <3

11-20 seems to take ages to load.. once it loads I may be able to comment. XD

 

[Thunder Beam]

Your banner are wonderful, I really like the effect you put in them.

 

[Pikabloo]

Sanctuary: Eheh, the first ten were probably my best anyway xP Thank you for commenting.

Thunder Beam: Er, thanks I guess ^^ I'm glad you like the effects in my banners.

Meh, I should really be in bed right now, but I just randomly felt like updating this thread. Even if I only have two more banners I want to post up o___o

21.

Jio Freed from 666 Satan. Er, yep.

---

22.

The main characters from Kingdom Hearts O_o​

I'm sort of in a banner slump right now :\
