The Graphics Rating Thread [READ THE FIRST POST. D:<]

[Uryū Ishida]

Masterdookie;; Yup your right, "I" hate sprite banners, but that's just me, but this is a really nice banner, the effects the clouds are all really nice, except the sprite is very oddly placed in my opinion, try moving it a bit more to the center of the banner. 9/10

 

[Pikabloo]

MasterDookie;; eheh, it's not that I hate sprites, it's just that I think it's difficult to create something good using Pokémon sprites. But I think this one is pretty good. I like the soft cloud effects, which makes it look like Palkia is floating in the heavens, or whatever. The text is pretty cool, too. The lack of a light source is a shame, though, and I don't really like those gray-ish wireframes, although it does add to the flow of the banner. But, er, yes, it looks cool ^^

 

[Uryū Ishida]

Hey guys ^^~ New banner from request to get rated.

 

[Brandon-kun]

@Uryū Ishida: oooh~! o: I really like the banner. it's a little bright in some places, but it's not too heavy. the text that says 'a shadow of my former self' is a little too hard to read, but that's just me. over all, it's pretty good. :)

anyway, I really want my icons rated. :) I don't think they are that good, but I just want your opinion on them. thanks. :)

Man, I've been swamped lately. D: No time to make any new graphics at all. I can't believe how crappy these comments are. xDD *shot'd*

Brandon-kun; They really look like all you've done is added some color layers to me. xD The color layers are a very nice touch though. There's lot's of room for improvement, but they'd certainly make excellent bases. ^^

Ishida; That's really good. :O I like the text as it is, and I actually think you could crank the opacity down a little more. The colors and brushing, light textures and everything is really cool. ^^ The border could use a little bit of work with originality, but it's not too terrible as it is. Though you couldn't have avoided this due to the fact that it was a request but the "poke'd" test in't too great. xD Just a note.

@demidian :) - omg that looks really cool. the effects are really nice. youve become better than me >.< anyway like xenocrates or loki said the border isnt that good. try an overlay one. oh and cap the a so it looks better. (i have to catch up D:)

EDIT:

 

[Renyui!]

evilcheese:hmm, its a bit dull for my taste,but i like the effects you put on it to make it look... fingerprinty?
that weird kid named poke'd who is surprisingly alright at graphics:
I made a new banner! although i dont really like it, it was mainly just for testing fonts cause i just figured out how to get them.

 

[MasterDookie]

@ Poke'd: Nice plain background, I hate Arkeis pics though though... I just don't like their cartoonish-ness, and their over-used. You should probably find a nice simple font that doesn't stand out.

New stuff, probably my worst.

 

[Renyui!]

MasterDookie:hmm.. could be better, i like the render and the shine effect( i think), overall, pretty good.
myself(again): well, this new banner, i think, is my best so far. compare this to all my others and
~!RATE!~

 

[evilcheese]

@poke'd - you mean i tauht you how to download fonts xD anyway yours is a little too plain try blending.

@master dookie - its pretty dark. i would put maybe a radial gradient instead of black. and maybe add a little more color.

@Poke'd (again) - its nice that you used blending and c4ds but too much is bad. also the text is hard to see (like mine xD).

 

[Brandon-kun]

@Loki: yeah.. that's what I've been told. I've been trying to make it so it doesn't look like that, but I really do like my coloring. :)

Here are a few more icons that I made for people at SPPf.

all of these are for Chelc @ SPPf. Do not take any!

for Avegaille @ SPPf. Do not take!

for Alex @ SPPf. Do not take!

I tried different styles and what not, but that's what I came up with. please rate them. :)

 

[Nytkoi]

@ Brandon-kun: I like color layers, so you're in luck. lawl.
I like the one for Avegaille. I forgot the charcter in it's name.
The rest are pretty plain. They're open for improvment, good luck!

For Chris-kun @ PPF

Please rate. Its not my best, I know everyone hates pokemon banners/avatars, but meh,
I liked the way it turned out and I want it rated, thanks.

 

[THIRTY-SIX]

Looking at some of the sigs in this section kinda got me going. I messed around a little, mostly type.

[Brandon-kun]

@Kai.: thanks for the crit. :) it means a lot. :D and I think the characters name is Zoey from Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Anime. as for the crit; it looks good, though I haven't seen any of your other work, so I really wouldn't know if it's your best/worst, or whatever you think, but these are the only things I can tell you. the sparkles are a nice touch, but it looks like they are over-used.. and the 'X' is a little strange. other than that, it's really good. :)

 

[Nytkoi]

@ Brandon-kun: Thank you too! You're welcome for the comments!
I love color layers, I think your icons are pretty good!

Made for Sparkz. @ PC

I liked this one. This is sort of an example to Brandon-kun. This is not my best, I guess I can PM you my fav banner that I have made later.

 

[evilcheese]

@kai. - what did you do to the render? erasing it that much is a no. and the text clashes.

i finally found a tutorial i like and worked with depth.

 

[Brandon-kun]

@evilcheese: wow. I really like the colors on your banner. :O but, I think it's a texture that Kai. used.. hmm, not so sure.

 

[Pikachu Trainer~]

Brandon Kun: I really like the way you do your avatars, they have an originality feel to them. The one I love the most has got to be the Ash one, it's awesome!

Kai: I love the style you use to do your graphics but i'm not sure about the (vector brushes?) underneath the render of Flygon I don't think they work well. But I really like the Torchic avatar you made.

Evil Cheese: I'm not sure about the Sasuke banner as I don't really like the flow of the render, although I like how you've created the effect that Sasuke is behind some of the background to make it look like he's actually in the picture. Also I think you should try making some of your banners smaller I don't know if it's just me but I'm not keen on large banners.

Lucario Signature

Date Made: 2nd March 2008
Notes: I like this one I'm not sure about the text though, I'd like to see others views on it.

Keep Up The Great Work Everyone.

A c e n d o

to me it looks O.K.

the colors are nice, i also like the focus point.

you can also work on the text a bit.

but the right side seems too blurry for me.

overall, it's nice. :<

 

[Aizuke]

PikachuTrainer1994; Yeah, the text lacks something, I guess it's a bit plain. But overall, the banner itself is good. ^^ But the blurriness of the background kinda hurts my eyes, but that's just me. :x

Something I made when I was bored and decided to test out new brushes~
