Syk3 Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 I've been taking a few requests lately in banner making to sort of get back in the habbit, and I came up with this one for my friend. Before I say anything else, I know it's too big for OtakuBoards, because he will be using it on another forum. However, since I rarely make that many banners, I thought I'd share it with all of you and get your opinion. The banner itself didn't take me that long, since my friend knew the pictures that he wanted on it, but I had to cut them out the old fasioned way with the eraser tool due to the complexity of the backgrounds, and this is the result after two days of hard work. I believe that I did a rather good job on it, and my friend completely agrees. So...yes. Comments and critique are welcome. ^_^ [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=443418[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKC Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Wow! That is really great! O_O I seek no flaws! well, except I think the character is ugle, but that my oppinion ^^' Great job! Thats soo cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terra Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Wow. I really, really like it. The orange squares along the top are a really good idea. Even though they're such a simple thing, they finish out the banner very nicely. The text is also oriented well, and is clear and visible (where it's supposed to be), which is great. Wonderful job. I happen to agree that the character's not too cute, but that's probably not the important thing ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Java Mask Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Hey, excellent work! Those little rivets at the bottom are very stylish as is the fading row of squares at the top. That spot just to the left of the character seems the tiniest bit too bright, though. Like I said, excellent work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkadyz Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 [color=orangered][font=times new roman]Wow syk...Another amazing banner from you... While ill agree that the character isnt that appealing looking thats not your fault :D The gundam in the background looks really good though...Its a shame you dont make more banners and such anymore syk...Comeon we wanna see more... Dont make me beg :p [/color][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epitome Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Thats really nice. I like how you made all the setail and made the text show up so well. You did a great job... But one thing I dont like is, how you made the little orange tab at the bottom with the lettering squeezed in so tightly. But other than that, I must say *shakes Syk's hand* that is one great banner.

Roxie Faye Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 [color=#9933ff]The awesomeness. But it's not like I expected anything less from the great and graphic artly tallented Greg! You are truly an amazing-azing-azing artisto when it comes to computer graphics. You did more than a "rather good job" here. Like I said, absolutely fabulous. And I admire how much time you put into this. Like they say, "What you put in is what you get out." So keep up the excellent artwork, and thank you (AGAIN) in advance. ^_^ [yes, I'm crazy][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syk3 Posted July 24, 2003 Author Share Posted July 24, 2003 Heh, I'm hearing a lot about how the character isn't too cool, but like I said, my friend provided the pictures, blame him. =p lol [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Java Mask [/i] [B]That spot just to the left of the character seems the tiniest bit too bright, though.[/B][/QUOTE] It might be kind of hard to tell, but I used a Cloud filter for the background out of white and black, so a few white spots were to be expected. It may seem that the background is just supposed to be a grey, but I assure you that the white is to be perfectly normal.

It's also a request banner for a friend; be on the lookout for it, heh. And just so you know, this is very rare. ^_~ [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Hataki Vash [/i] [B]But one thing I dont like is, how you made the little orange tab at the bottom with the lettering squeezed in so tightly.[/B][/QUOTE] ...yes. I'd have to agree completely, but at the time I made that little tab there, I had no idea what his user name was. I thought about making the tab a bit bigger, but it's not like the words are spilling out over the sides, and I had already given him the banner. *shrug* EDIT: [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by MistressRoxie [/i] [B][color=#9933ff]The awesomeness.

Mei Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 [color=green]I love it.^^ I really like the way you cut the...rather ugly character out.^^() The faded gundam in the backround is also very impressive. As commented on before, the squares at the top are very cool, and I like how you shaped out the bottom name box. Very nice.^^ Keep up the amazing work, I want to see more.^~[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otakukev Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 wow, that's amazing. Tchah, it's a hell of alot better than I could do, but hey, I suck. The Gundam looks pretty cool. Can't wait to see your next banner. I have no idea why you don't make more, you're so good at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 I have never seen a such detailed banner.. It looks a wallpaper (Wallpapers tend to be more deatailed) How long did that take? Im guessing it was awhile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, it's likely to have taken twice as long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarK DeatH Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Get a higher quality pic for the character and just screw that one dude. The quality of it is awful. Other than that, the banner's nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
