Art The Humble Image Smith...

[Samgee Gamwise]

Just looking for words of advice for improvement. Attached is banner I made using AS3, the original image I concocted in PSP (v.7). Sorry about the SIZE:wigout:.

It looks really nice but the ending spoils it a lot with that cheap starburst effect thing >>;

[SIZE=1][COLOR=dodgerblue]I think the endinnd starburst thing was a great way to finish it. ^^;; I really liked it.

I agree that the star-burst at the end kind of cheapens the whole thing, but the rest is pretty much hypnotic... @.@[/size]

I agree about the starburst being not good... I mean, it is all cool and psycothic and then, something common like the starburst there just pops up... That made it worse... Maybe you could try to keep the cycle of it, like if there was no end...

[color=indigo]Wow, you finally made a good animated banner. ;) *claps* . . . *with one hand* :p

Hmm. . . . I think it'd be better if, at the end, it split up into the three parts but the parts were narrower. And then instead of getting narrower and narrower until they disappear, they'd get shorter and shorter until they disappear at the center.[/color]

[color=red][font=times new roman]***waiting for it to d/l*** and waiting...Ah finally...Thats looks pretty cool...But ill have to agree with the rest...It would be cool if it just kinda kept going indefinetly instead of just ending and restarting...Id be more interesting atleast to me :D [/font][/color]

Here's three more "versions" made after reading down through DarK DeatH's advice. (someone please tell me that inserting an image tag into this reply does not make it load the image onto the server, I would feel horrible if I was the source of an OtakuCrash)

I cannot decide on one, the first two are nearly the same, and the last one just seems to plain. Help!:(

P.S. I'll be making a fifth one to satisfy Dessy's "needs" soon. :cross:

[COLOR=purple]They're all very good. I think they should be like Desbreko said, but it diming out, and not faiding out, so the light would dim out to dark and just have it all dissolve. But that's just me, you do what you want.

Good-job.[/color]
