Syk3 Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 Well, last night, as many of you know, I was married to Mei in a rather large online chat. Now that we are husband and wife (^^;) I decided that it would be fit to wip up some new banners for the occasion; one for Mei and one for myself. Mei had been wanting one for a little while anyway, so this idea fit nicely. Mei's banner: [img]http://dg369.250free.com/Mei-ban.jpg[/img] The other image may be slightly confusing for some people. Basically, if you look at the first frame, this is the chat at which we were married, and I think the pauses in the animation speak for themselves. My banner: [img]http://dg369.250free.com/Wedani.gif[/img] Please critique these images in an artistic way. And remember, I'm always up for suggestions on how to improve my work. That is, unless, you are reffering to the actual theme, lol. oO; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eleanor Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 [size=1] O_O Right...uh, married, I see. (wt..) Anyways, I like the first banner, but I think it could do without the girl on right. As always, though, it's a very nice banner and I like teh background. I love the anime you used as well! ^_^ [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatDeitylink Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 Congrats Syk... I'm still single. I like the one you have. I like the way that it shows that smiley guy ^_^ <-- that dude. Heh well I hope you have a good time being married. * goes off into the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 And I wasn't invited! I could have been a flower girl! Both of the banners are great. I really like the second one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiroMunkie Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 [size=1]Ha, Asuka and I own you, lol. [ *realizes that in two days they will have been married for a year and a half* o_O ] Congratulations, perhaps we could double-date sometime, haha. ^__^ I like the first banner. I do not really have anything wrong with it at all other than the upper left text may be a little hard to read. I actually have too look at it in order to read it clearly, lol. The second one is more for fun, lol. I do not really think it is meant to be critiqued. o_O[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mei Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 [color=green]*huggles you*I love them both!^^ Thankyou so much for the banner, I think it's absolutely wonderful, and represents the occasion perfectly.^~ The second one captures a very special moment, and though I've no idea how you made it, that doesn't stop me from loving it too! *huggles you again*I see nothing wrong with either of them.^^[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chris Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 [color=green][size=1]heh, very nice. i congradulate you both. the second one is just a screen shot that he used and he used animation to scroll down. a very nice consept. heh. good job.[/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syk3 Posted July 5, 2003 Author Share Posted July 5, 2003 True, it does seem that the second banner was made more for fun than anything else, but it's a banner that I'd like you to see and state your opinions on nonetheless. ^_^ Referring to how Piro and Asuka have been married for almost a year and a half, a find that time matters very little to me. In fact, I really only met and got to know Mei three or four days ago, and look where we are now? ~_^ My point is not to say that we were rushing things, lol, but to show how strong we care for each other. Anyway, back to the art, yes. I'm very glad that you liked the banner, Mei. ^_^ I was looking at it on AOL at a friend's house, and it looked slightly different and of less quality, so I was a bit worried. That's alright though, I may end up saving it and taking it downstairs anyway to edit the banner a tad on a screen that does [i]not[/i] suck. (Note: my flat screen has a knack for not showing me all of the problems with my banners, bleh) To everyone else, thank you for your kind words. :) BTW, maladjusted, it obviously wasn't a [i]real[/i] wedding, but we can pretend it was! oO; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the second 'banner', I still have no real considerance of it to actually critique it. I know how it was done, it did not take any real artistic talent... you can even see Adobe Photoshop open in the background, lol. It is a good idea, though, I shall give you that much.[/size][quote][b]I was looking at it on AOL at a friend's house, and it looked slightly different and of less quality, so I was a bit worried.[/b][/quote][size=1]AOL has a tendency to 'crappify' images. When I used to have AOL it did this all of the time. It is why I used to use the Liquid layout for OB rather than the default; the default's top banner did not appear as well as the Liquid's did. So if it looked of lesser quality, that was AOL's fault. ^__^ Just remember: It is [i]always[/i] AOL's fault, haha.[/size][quote][b]BTW, maladjusted, it obviously wasn't a [i]real[/i] wedding, but we can pretend it was! oO;[/B][/QUOTE][size=1]Heh, we (you and I) have the same mindset. ^__^ So when can we expect a child?

A double date sounds nice, in the sense that it will introduce that aspect. ;) As for children, Ken seems very keen on the idea of getting a grandchild as well (don't ask oO). If it happens, it happens. :angel: Thanks for your critique on the banner, by the way. I try my best. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 [color=#707875]Ahh cool. Lookin' good. I like the first one mainly; the second one runs a bit too quickly for me. I just realized that I haven't actually had a wedding. I'm "married" to a few people, but no wedding yet. :bawl: Oh well. I'll find someone... I hope. ^_^;;[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syk3 Posted July 5, 2003 Author Share Posted July 5, 2003 Alright, I slowed down the banner a bit during the parts that I wanted you to see. If you were talking about the scrolling parts, I wouldn't really worry about it, since that isn't the main idea of the banner. I hope this is a little better..

Sere Tuscumbia Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 [SIZE=1]Hee. Your siggie makes me laugh. Ok, so I'm mentioned like, once, and it's just my little meek part (right after I duct taped Ger-ger's mouth shut), but god, that was funny. ^_^ And man, you really enjoy being married, don't you Syk? However, I'm going to tell you right now, if you hurt Mei in any way, I will beat you to death with a shovel. Jus' 'cause I have to look out for my little sissy. ^_^ However, I agree with Piro. You and Mei can have the grandchildren first. I mean, I may be the oldest of the daughters, and yeah, I'm married and all, but geez! It's not like I'm gonna be having kids anytime soon!!!! And yeppie, Mei-mei, I am going to be looking out after you. Just because I get to. Because you're my little sissy, and I now have that right. ^_~ Get used to it! --Sere[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desbreko Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 [color=indigo]Heheh, I like the chat banner. Too bad I'm not in it at all, except for a bit of my name on the list to the right. :cross: The other one is cute. ^_^[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarK DeatH Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 ::a shadow appears outta nowhere:: Hmm... Looks like I've lost the wedding... ::puts on a pointy hat and makes some gestures with his hands::...::some odd stuff appear:: Here... Your marriage gift... A... Ball... Here, take it... lol Anyways, the first banner looks sweet dude, and the second one looks... humm... Well, it's kinda odd and all, but it is original... lol... And VERY unique... lol Well, said what I had to say, I think I'm gonna disappear. ::disappears in the shadows:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtakuSennen Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 I love the first one! ^_^ The second one is nice.. But it is a little informal for such an occasion, in my opinion. *brandishes shield, preparing for Syk's attack* Well here are your wedding presents, Mei and Syk.. Have.. Another ball. *hands over a ball* And some pie. *hands over pie* and my best wishes to the two of you, and hopefully you can get married in person some day. ^_^' (Am I being insulting without knowing it..?)

Syk3 Posted July 11, 2003 Author Share Posted July 11, 2003 Thank you all for your kind comments and best wishes on our wedding. I know Mei and I will be very happy together, and these banners signify the first major thing we are doing together as a couple. ^_^ *huggles Mei* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
