I agree. I love that background!!! I really like how you blended all of those different shades of red. nice job. and that box/banner running through the middle. . . . GORGEOUS! ^^ It really adds alot. just one thing: where it says Dragon on the side. I can't read that without squinting really really hard. And that is no good. I'm not sure how you can fix that but I'm sure you will think of something. ^^

I like that you are starting to use more boxes like those. But I do agree with you that those colors do not go well with the theme. I would think that you should make it either just blue and red bar or blue and pink bar. But I wouldn't keep both red and pink. Also I don't really like the font you used. To put it nice and simple. .. . . . it's ugly. Sorry, but it is. I can't say that without being brutatly honest. ^^ keep it up tho!

It's ok Haze ^^ , that's why i made this thread, so i can see peoples point of views of my banners. Well i do agree with you the font really didn't fit and the bar was weird, I had to finish it before i had to go to school, so i was in a rush. I thank everyone for there honesty and i hope that i improve.


here is a new hellsing banner.I Haven't seen the anime, but i just thought alucard looked cool.

I like that Konohamaru one, nice picture, clean and crisp, and a good background. Bad point for this one? It is very hard to read the word 'Dragon'.

'Bang'... this image and components are good, but that text... it is jagged and, whilst I think the colours are all right, the text looks pretty bad and amateurish. Also, the border doesn't seem equidistant on all sides, and there seems to be some colour blurring into the border gap.

That Inuysha banner of yours is great... one of your best, IMO. Nice colour scheme, awesome image, great cropping. Two disses though... the font border... it is all jagged, and it doesn't look [i]smooth[/i]. Smooth, clean line are important.. even if you do the fonts really big separately, and then make them smaller to disguise the jagged edges... it just looks bad. Also, the 'Dragon' down the side is very difficult to see.

Now for that banner you didn't like the scheme on...Hhhmmm. Good picture, good layout, bad colours and bad text. It evens out to make this a 5.5/10 banner. Change colours, change text. You don't need to make millions of banners, what you need, is to take more time on each one, refining it.

This just proves my point. Do banners for yourself, not for us... you don't need to produce lots often, just good ones when you can.

Now onto that awesome Hellsing one... I love it. Never seen any anime, but that banner is awesome. Better text, great backround, good image. And your overall layout is good.

Legato... Iyeh...

Cool background, nice picture HORRIBLE TEXT! You see? Try different fonts, experiment until you find a better one that that. even plain Arial would be an improvement on that jagged thing.

Your banners are generally good, however your text is horrible and a let-down to the overall high quality of your work.

The Legatio is nice, and the font is two things to me: cool and annoying.
It's a good font in the way of theme, but it is also hard to read.
WOO! BLUE! I LIKE BLUE!!! ...*cough* It's also a bit plain, come to think of it, and the main focus is the blue background. It's okay, but definetly not your greatest piece.

You really need to improve your post quality and refer to the sticky thread on constructive criticism at the top of the page. I also feel that we may have been a little leniant on you elsewhere on the boards, but if this continuous..well, just make sure it doesn't. ^_^

I wish I could say that it has no flaws. ^^ Sadly, it has a few. The first is your text. It is really smooshed in, making it a little hard to read. Also thhose white edges make it look extra-jagged, and you want it to be smooth. Also the background picture is really really pixely. So much so that I can see the individual blocks that make it up. And that is definitly a bad thing.

On the plus side, you cropped really well, but then you always do. ^^ I like the transparent man beside the non-transparent (what is the word I am looking for? I can't seem to remember. ><) man. It'll look really good when you clean it up!

ok, i'm back from vacation and expected to make tons of more banners. This thread has been deserted lately, and i'm wondering..... WHY ARE THE SAME PEOPLE POSTING!!!! Ok.... enough with that, i was looking at jame's ff7:advent children banners, and (not knowing about it at all) took a look at some pictures, and this is what i got.

I love the text on that picture, and the simple border works well. However, I don't think you have done anything else with the picture. I know the picture you used and all you did was add the text. However, I can liken to that as I often do that so... good stuff. I love it's simplicity

Technical: 4/10
Aesthetic: 8/10

Great just great! I really like the Cloud banner. It is seriously cool, though I like to see his sword in banners this one is still excellent.

The second banner rocks also. It is very funny and I agree it should be a Dragon Board somewhere. Maybe one with Gambit in it.^_^

I'm backkkkkk*laughs evily* yes well the big baby one is nice. You've done better though.*nodds* The ones I really like are the DragonBoard, Inuyasha and Cowboy Bebop. THose are all pretty good. There really should be a Dragonboard. Interesting place that would be. Very interesting. *nodds* The Inuyasha one id diffinatly well done too. Inuyasha looks good with red. Background or other wise. As for the Cowboy Bebop one...well, Spike is cool. :toothy:
