Yes, it's another Auron one. *watches half the readers immediately back out* Heh....

OK, you can see it in my sig, but here it is again for your viewing pleasure.

I love how I did the shadows, but I think I might have screwed up on the background. What I was shooting for was to have Auron look like he was, I dunno, popping out of the image or something. Something's wrong with the banner, I just don't know what!

So can someone help? Please?

In case you want to see the original image, [url=http://www.angelfire.com/weird2/elementis/auronroof.jpg]here it is.[/url]

[size=1]You could try making the background not as tall as it is now, and dividing it a bit more--closer together at the bottom. As though it's at an angle to the computer screen. Ergh. I know what I mean, but I don't know how to describe it.

I don't know if that's what you meant, anway.[/size]

Urm... The one thing I think is irking me has got to be those white lines... They really don't sit right with me... The shadows are wonderful though - I had to look hard to notice them, but I woulda noticed straight away if they weren't there - the best type of "effects" ^_^

That's the only advice I can offer *cringes* Sorry about that[/color][/size]

[COLOR=coral][SIZE=1]The only time I came even close to a 3d-ish look was when I used Photoshop to do a massive emboss and also a bit of angling on the inner shadows.
Your banner is great![/COLOR][/SIZE]

The problem is, that's the only version I can find of that image, and I really like that image. Captures the mood I'm trying to convey.

How about now? Better at all?

I might try again, leaving the background whole but warping it somehow...*totters off*

[color=red][size=1]Taking that chunk out has made it better (for me anyways) and the lines aren't bugging me quite so much anymore. Gah... *tries to think of critisms* I really can't think of anything else to say... Those lines are still irking me a "tiny" bit... But if you took them out I figure it'd look worse so... I have nothing more to say on the subject ~_~;;[/color][/size]
