Hello all,
For some reason I've been playing around with anime graphics all day. I found the picture that's right now my avatar somewhere (it's Elie from Groove Adventure Rave), and felt compelled to use it ... which is why I made this banner.

edit: matching avatar -- [img]http://pantheon.yale.edu/~elc23/fun/elie1.gif[/img]

I feel like something is missing ... any ideas? Also, does the idea come across clearly :rolleyes:?

Third problem ... it's just too sad for me to use as my banner ... but would still would like your comments :)

[color=teal]EDIT:[/color] Sorry for the double post ... but nobody commented on the last banner so if I edited it would just be so far back! ...

Anyway, here are a couple other banners I've made. Comments? Anyone? :D

For Emme888:

For Shippo:

For fun (unless someone wants it...?):

[color=teal]Double posting is [i]never[/i] the answer. Even if your post is somewhat far back in the forum, you can do such things as copying your messege and deleteing your post, then remaking the thread with an 'EDIT:'. Thanks. -Syk3[/color]

Thanks guys :) Ah, how I love comments. *coughs*
It's tough gettin' no love.

Anyway, here is something I made for oekakiotaku. Actually, I just meant to start playing around and then I sort of finished. It's Aya, from Weiss Kreuz.

Wow, I guess I missed the 1st one also b/c it is very nice! I like all of the banners you have done so far. You are talented, thats for sure! I like all the pictures you are using also, they are of very good quality. Your 1st one a lot, but I can't read the 1st word. It looks like it says "sans everything" but I don't understand that. The shiny thing on her face makes it look just liek a tear! That is really nice!

Love, Kaola

Hey terra,
Just want to start off by sayin thanks for all the feedback you left for me, I can tell you put in a lot of time and thought, and I will certainly take your advise...'specially the part of one character banners... heh.

*Ahem*? now, on to your work. I must say that I absolutely love that last banner of Aya... tis fresh². Unique use of layers and shapes, (which I'm a sucker for) and I think the font suits the banner well. The only thing I see is the white border layer on the right hand side, (Industrial view)...eh, minor detail.

In the banners above that one, I think you have a nice eye for BG colours as well as a creative font choice that flows nicely with your end product.

Two things that I can offer for advise (both which you totally squashed by your last example Ó_ó) would be firstly, to be careful not to balance your banners content so much. The Faye one is not as much of an example as the other two, yet there is some sort of odd balance in that one as well. Secondly, I would suggest playing around with where you place your text.

I can't wait to see what else you will post, I can already tell you are getting better... keep up the great work! Ã…_Ã…

Thanks for the comments, guys.

I made the following YGO banners for SJchan. Sorry dear, they were the subject of experimentation. If you want a more ... "normal" one, I can do that too :) The second is my favorite. If you want one of these, post something, and then I can post it as an attachment for you :)

Hmm.... I'd think it would more effective without the colored dagger one or when you largen her a little and put text somewhere at the right...
Shippo one is very good. Simple yet brilliant.
Im not really fond of the 2nd... What can i say? I like her more in the pic of your avater -_-

*grin* Actually, I like the second banner the most out of this last set. Very nice BG, the size fits the piece well, nice and dreamy with a nice focused picky off centered.

The first one is pretty fresh, the terminator looking font at the bottom especially, nice work on the colouring.

The third piece, though I like the close-up of her eyes, I think it's kind of lacking somehow. I could see that as a faded BG with some font, or something.. I cant quite tell what it needs... maybe its just the chickeda on the left that throws it all off for me... eh, who knows, still great work... ^_^

Keep up the awesome work... cant wait to see more.

Hehe, actually I did too, which is why that banner was in my sig for all of ... half a week? Anyway, at least juna liked it :D. Thanks for the comments guys!!

Some more ...

For Kain:

For Ben:

I really like the Alucard one, particularly since I usually do more cutesy banners than that. I didn't have much inspiration for the Puppetmon one, since I've never seen the part of the show with him, but I think it still came out all right.

Hehe, I watched eight or nine episodes of Love Hina today so guess what I made ...

[img]http://pantheon.yale.edu/~elc23/fun/naru.gif[/img]

I love the first one, especially since all I really had to do was cut out the picture and add a border. The second one was something new I thought I'd try, I liked how it turned out :)

I have plans for some Shinobu ones since Naru is so overdone, too ... But I couldn't resist doing these anyway, hehe.
