Eclectic Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 I made these three banners yesterday since I needed one for BB's boards. I really couldn't think of anything I really wanted to did with them in GIMP, so I went back to using just Paint and MGI for all editting and then GIMP for scaling. Comments please? As always, greatly appreciated.

Sara Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 [size=1]I really like the middle one, with the red. That's just a good picture, and the lines seem to compliment it the best. The yellow one is also very eye-pleasing, although the lines seem a little overdone. I don't like the top one so much. The red eyes with the blue just don't look right. (Although the white backround at OB doesn't much help. It is a lot more tolerable on black.)[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclectic Posted January 15, 2004 Author Share Posted January 15, 2004 Thanks for your comment. I'm not quite sure why I left the eyes red on the first one, but I think It might have been for contrast. It didn't work too well anyway. Here are a few more banners as well as a small edit on the red one above.

That's all for now. PS: Forgot to mention that now that I look at the last one, I notice just how many line there are... But they kinda add something to it somehow...

Xyandar Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Those banners look awesome! I especially love the last one! I love how the eye color was Blue and the rest was grey, and the lines do add effects. It makes the banner look more futuristic in a way. 8/10!

SaiyanPrincessX Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 [SIZE=1]The grey one is definetely my favorite. I like the contrast between the blue eyes and simple grey. Although I think you over did it with the white lines.[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Samedi Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 You seem to have a problem with those white lines. Addicted are we? lol. Ok. I like the red avatar, and the grey banner. The quality of the red avatar image, isn't the best the closer you look, but it is OK. Personally, it looks less cluttered without the text. The grey one is possibly the best one I have ever seen from you. I think the lines on the right could have been bunched up more and moved further up... but the lines really complement this piece. Good work.. but perhaps try to do stuff that doesn't always involve lines ~_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclectic Posted January 18, 2004 Author Share Posted January 18, 2004 Thanks to everyone for their comments. And yes, Baron, I love the lines. I tried not using them with these but I couldn't help myself. Here they are anyways. ------ [img]http://voodoobarbies.250free.com/e11.PNG[/img] [img]http://voodoobarbies.250free.com/e6_2.PNG[/img] [img]http://voodoobarbies.250free.com/e8_2.PNG[/img] [img]http://voodoobarbies.250free.com/e9_2.PNG[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelus_Necare Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 It never ceases to amaze me how Afi and Anime just seem to skip hand in hand away into the sunset, Maybe you should use some Lyrics from their Art Of Drowning Album? All beautifull banners, keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclectic Posted January 18, 2004 Author Share Posted January 18, 2004 If I had Art of Drowning, I'd use lyrics from it. I'll try and find it while I'm out today. Thanks for the comment. Now I must find a bus schedule so I can go finish my English project with my group. Next time, I'll find a group that lives near me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Samedi Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 'Poison Hearts' and 'Gonna write you' are the best ones in my opinion. The others' images aren't the best quality, or suited to the banner I feel. Also, these banners make best use of quotes, layout and linework. These aren't really too bad though, and your own unique style is improving. I would still love to see a good banner without any lines from you but, hey, I'm just a dreamer :p.
