[color=darkblue] And who told you where to find textures and effects like that again ;)? Lol, very nice Evolved_Dragon. Your getting [b]much[/b] better with the fonts. So great job with that :D. And the picture's use used are very high quality which is also really nice^^. It was really well done, like all your other banners :). But I do have one suggestion for all your banner's in general. They seem a bit repetitive, with a foreground pic, and some sort of grid in the background. Try thinking...[i]outside[/i] the box. Maybe...some airbrush effects? Or an animation? Because using even a little animation will probably make it more attractive, not that it already is though. Great job once again, and I really hope to see more :) [/color]

[color=darkblue] [size=1] Very nice, once again. I love how you make some frames overlapping others. For example, the fourth frame, where Val is running, and his head comes in front of the third frame. I also like the expressions on their faces. Like [again] on the fourth frame, Sam looks as if she's surprised or shocked, and I could just imagine the tone of her voice. [spoiler]Please post the next page![/spoiler] [/color] [/size]

[color=darkblue] [size=1] Wow, Amazing. I just love your style of art. I remember your last manga, and it was really,..inspiring^_^. Lol, Now you've made me want to mke [i]my[/i] own manga. And yes, I do agree that the gray is a little choppy, but nothing too bad. BTW: Best of Luck in the Tokyo Pop Manga contest ^_~ [/color] [/size]

[color=darkblue] [size=1] [quote] My only complaint is that you seem a bit repetative in your colors - that is, to say that you use that style of blue a lot. [/quote] Lol, I completely agree. Thats why my newest banner is red ^_^! A rather dark red, but still red. [img]http://otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=537204[/img] And it's animated too :) [has the same texture as the "myO banner". If ya noticed] EDIT: Oooops...I forgot the border :( [/color] [/size]

[color=darkblue] [size=1] This, has got to be the best thing I've ever made in photoshop. i'm so proud of it. i even submitted it into Animewallpapers.com. It took me extremely long, but it was worth it in my opinon.^^ Please tell me what you think. [url=http://shippo.250free.com/DNangelWall.jpg]Here it is![/url] [/color] [/size]

[color=darkblue] For a first wallpaper, thats actually really good^_^. Or at least I think so. The images are good, But the color seems a little- Miss Matched. I love the little firefly's. They're awesome. Did you make them yourself? Because if you did I'm really impressed. The font is also really nice, I like the little outer glow effect you used on it. Nice job Azure, and remeber, practice makes perfect ^_- [/color]

[color=darkblue] [size=1] An akward smile spread across Masu's face. "What are you smiling for!?" asked Josh. Masu knew where the Blue Eyes went... as a matter of fact, he even knew what was going to come out of the book. He then giggled to himself. "Foolish kid." Masu mumbled. "First off, I'll use my de-spell card to negate the effect of your toon world and destroy it." he said. The book suddenly began to tear apart, and then it vanished into thin air. Inside was a Toon Blue eyes. Its eye's bulged wide open, as it, too vanished into thin air. "Now I'll use Pot of Greed, whcih let's me draw two cards from my deck." Masu drew two cards, and continued. "Heh, now your Life Points are free, letting me attack them directly." "I summon my Lai jinn the mystic! With an attack of 1800 atk points. And now I flip my card which was in defense mode, to attack mode." The card was a Dancing Fairy. Josh then began to laugh really loudly. They were cute little monster's with little wings, and pink hair. "Why is [b]that[/b] in your deck!?" Josh laughed. "Now I play DNA surgery on my dancing fairy." Masu responded. "Yea? And what's that gonna do, eh?" asked Josh. A flash of light blinded the two duelist. Then. the lights came back to normal, and to Josh's surprise, The Dancing Fairies, light wheat skin, changed into a murky pale color, and there pink, colmed hair had turned into a mess. Out of their mouths came large fangs. And THeir nice friendly eyes changed into dark, evil eyes. Jason was astonished. "DNA surgery, lets me change the type of a monster...In this case, I changed into a zombie." Masu laughed. "Not too funny anymore is it?" He contiuned. " now attach Horn Of the unicorn Raising it's attack to 2500. Now that I am done powering up my monsters, I will attack you directly. For an attack force of 4300. [/size] [/color]

[color=darkblue] [size=1] Er, new banner. Took me a while to do, and Im pretty proud of it^_^. [img]http://otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=534980[/img] C & C [b]please[/b]! [/size] [/color]

[color=darkblue] [size=1] "Er, how irritating..." Masu said. He kept a straight face, but in the inside he was worried. Masu then drew a card from his deck. It was a card destruction. " I use my Card Of Destruction." Masu said, "Im assuming you know what it's function is." Masu continued as he threw his hand into his graveyard. He drew 3 new cards from his deck, Josh did the same. "Perfect..." Masu mumbled. "Now, I activate my magic card on the field, Soul Exchange." Josh's face slowly turned into a frown. "Soul Exchange let's me use one of your monsters, as a tribute for one of mine." Masu said with a smile spread across his face. "And that mean's--"Josh was cut off by Masu. "Yes, I use your Toon Alligator as a tribute for my... Summoned Skull!(2500 atk)" Masu declared, as Josh's Toon Alligator dissapeared, and Masu's Summoned Skull appeared. "Then again, as long as I have my Toon World on the field, you cant attack!" Josh said sticking his tounge out at Masu. "I know that you scoundrel. That's why I activate my Heavy Storm card, to demolish all the magic/trap cards on the field!" Masu yelled, as Josh's magic cards were swept away by the storm. [/size] [/color]

[color=darkblue] [size=1] I was just watching a tribute music video to the wrestlers that died, at WWE.com. and in the background it has - Evanescence- My Immortal. Such a beautiful song,.. I love the lyrics. [i] I'm so tired of being here, Suppressed by all my childish fears, and if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave, Cause your presence still lingers here, and it won't leave me alone, These wounds won't seem to heal, This pain is just too real, There's just too much that time cannot erase, When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears, When you'd scream I?d fight away all of your fears, and I held your hand through all of these years, But you still? have? all of me, You used to captivate me, by your resonating light, now I?m bound by the life you left behind, Your face it haunts, my once pleasant dreams, your voice it chased away, all the sanity in me, These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real, there's just too much that time cannot erase, When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears, when you'd scream I?d fight away all of your fears, and I held your hand through all of these years, but you still? have? all of me I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone, but though you're still with me, I've been alone all along, When you cried I?d wipe away all of your tears, when you'd scream I?d fight away all of your fears, and I held your hand through all of these years, but you still? have? all of me oh..., me oh..., me oh... [/i] [/color] [/size]

[color=darkblue] [size=1] "Alright, get ready for my fiends to crush you!" Masu yelled, as he summoned his deck master, "The Masked Beast" With a thrashing attack of 3200. Masu smirked as he said, "Let the duel began." Josh and Masu both drew their hands. He studied each and everyone of them carefully. He played two face down traps/magics. And a monster in face down defense mode. "Your move" Masu declared. === OOC: Okay, Im no Yu-Gi-Oh master, so I dont know each and every card. So when you summon a monster (or a magic or trap) Can you include its attack, defense, and effect? Heh, thanks. [/size] [/color]

[color=darkblue] [size=1] The answer to Charles Quesion is..: The part that was edited out was Terry Funk putting a garbage bag over Flair's head. My Question: Name all of the ECW World Heavyweight Champions in order? [/color] [/size]

[size=1] [color=darkblue] Name: Formally Known as Haranobu Fujishima, But changed his name to Jiro Katsuhiko Age: 21 Weapon pref: Unarmed Melee, Small Arms Weapon(s) : Knife, .40 dual pistols Appearance: Attachment. Accept with a black overcoat. And a brown breifcase. Bio: Haranobu was a rich, normal, boy, just until his 6th birthday. He remembered his mother crying, and his dad with his gun arched, and ready to fire at the door. The door was being slammed on, and Haranobu watched from afar in the closet. Finally, the door was busted open and out came about 6 to 7 people with Machine Guns. They open fired and killed Haranobu?s father and mother. Haranobu managed to escape though. He flew out of the closet clutching his diary in his left hand. One of the men spotted Haranobu and shot him in the wrist. He dropped the diary, which was drenched in blood. And continued to flee. He ran into his dad's room and grabbed a briefcase. He then climbed up the wall, and into the window of the room. He pushed the window up, and leaped out. He then ran, and didn't look back, he just kept running, after running for hours he came to a stop, he panted hard and then fell on the floor. All the energy in him was gone. But at least he'd lost the men. For the next 14 years Haranobu made a living by stealing food, and money. He always had that briefcase next to him. On the breifcase there was a note. It read: [I] Never forget me my son. Keep this briefcase by your side at all times. Because when I am gone, that will be the only memory you will have of me?inside this briefcase. Open it when you are ready.[/I] When Haranobu turned 16, he decided to open it. Inside was a knife, .40 duals, a picture of his mother and father, and a bag of gold. There was also a note inside sealed in an envelope. HAranobu opened the envelope. It read: [i] When we are gone Haranobu...it is up to you to destroy the evil in this world. We won't be around to look after you. Take care, my son. And make me proud.[/i] He knew that the men that killed his mother and father would be looking for him too. So he changed his name to Jiro Katsuhiko. The only memories of Haranobu would be in that breifcase he kept with him? Thus, a new journey had began for Jiro. A journey to make the world full of peace, and to prevent killing. [/color] [/size]

[color=darkblue] [size=1] Well, I've tried both programs. Photoshop IMO works better than PSP. i mean really, there really has to be a reason why it's 400 dollars more. Plus, it's much more easier for me to find tutorials for Photoshop. If you want to make those awesome backgrounds, with all those trendy effects, I'd also reccommend to get PS. (Although, you've got to be [i]really[/i] advanced to do that kind of stuff. But with practice, anyone can probably do it.) ... Then again, you can always download the trial version of both and see which one you like better. Hope that helped, [/color] [/size]

[color=darkblue] [size=1] Masu frowned and watched as the "Kaiba-rescuers" went into a jungle, he wanted to give them a surprise. Masu commanded his Castle of Dark illusions to descend. The Castle of Dark Illusions Sunk into the jungle and landed with a hard thud right in front of the three youngsters. They were startled, and they fell down from the impact. "What's that!?" said Jason. "And where'd it come from?!" followed Amanda. Masu flew out of the Castle. His long hat covered his face. "Mm, Sorry to disturb you...but you must understand, You can't go any further." Masu exclaimed. [/color] [/size]

[color=darkblue] [size=1] Very nice stuff Leh ^_^. Nice to see that your making banners again. 1st: Lol, he looks funny ^^. The banner's good, i just think you might've been able to have done more with it. Like maybe a more busy background, instead of the plain white. 2nd: The colors of the background fits perfectly with the whole feel of the banner. The theme is really nice, and I love the quote. 3rd: I'm not sure what to say really. It looks good...it's just it's pretty freaky at the same time... [/color] [/size]

[color=darkblue] [size=1] A few new banners. [img]http://otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=531349[/img] [img]http://shippo.250free.com/BabyDragon.jpg[/img] ((looks like the one made for Rei right? Yea, he asked me to make it like that)) Comments + Critism(sp?) welcome. Oh yeah. Lmao. Thanks for the spellcheck Dan Rugh^_^, As you could see, Spelling isn't really my subject :sweat: [/color] [/size]

[color=darklbue] [size=1] Wow, nice work Mina ^_^. The coloring is really nice. You got the color's perfect. Like you said, the mane was really well done. its so detailed, and looks a lot like fur. I also like the choice of colors you used. Has more of a warm feeling, which fits Simba. Again, really nicely done. Keep it up! [/size] [/color]

[color=darkblue] [size=1] Here's my entry>.< [img]http://otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=531349[/img] Congrats on 10,000 members^_- [/color] [/size]

[color=darkblue] [size=1] Yey! Welcome back Klin^_^! -- Anyway, here're a few of my recent banner's. [img]http://otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=529060[/img] For the holiday banner contest. [img]http://otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=529649[/img] Made for Rei. [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=527751[/img] Made for Anime Ninja [img]http://otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=530573[/img] My Favorite Banner yet.^_^ I know, Its way over the size limit but I still like it.. And oh yea. Please reply, No one ever does :bawl: [/color] [/size]

[color=darkblue] [size=1] Wow, You've imroved a great deal since i last saw your graphics. Heh, I must say, thats gotta be one of the best wallpaper's I've seen here^^. The background is gorgeous, and the colors blend together with the foreground pic. The crops are clean, and the pic used is of high quality. The only flaw i could spot is the font. The font color doesn't stand out so well with the background. I also think the font is a little simple compared to the rest of the wallpaper*. Heh, anyway, It looks great, ^^ Keep it up, and I hope to see more :) [/size] [/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Shinmaru [/i] [B]Yeah, the scanner really did a job on the picture - which is a shame because it's quite good. [/B][/QUOTE] [color=darkblue][size=1] Heh, sorry I din't explain myself when I said "my scanner messed this pic up". When I scaned the pic, there were erase marks all over the place, and it looked really bad. So I got the eraser tool and had delete that stuff >.< which was pretty diffucult. On Photoshop, it looked as if the background of the pic was grey, and when I erased it, it was clear white. so it looked pretty strange. But when I saved it, it came out better then I expected :) Heh, and thanks for the comments everyone^^ Appreciate it. [/color][/size]

Okay, here're all 5 of my entries. (You said we could have 5 max.)
