Japan Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 I like the Sesshomaru one the best. Though you are improving, and you came a long way, something about your banners don't seem right. I dunno, but it seems that all of your banners have the similar style of backround. Maybe you should try something new and different next time...

Sun Posted May 18, 2004 Author Share Posted May 18, 2004 [SIZE=1][FONT=Verdana]Shippo just made a new banner thread that has the same title as this one so don't get confused ^ ^. Japan, for the "sessy" banner and the "when 2 winds converge" banner i used the same background, i just switched the colors.

SaiyanPrincessX Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 [COLOR=RoyalBlue]The Sesshomaru one is the best out of the first three. I like the idea of the winds converging, but the font ruins the affect completely. The Sasuke, Goku, and Hakkai are by far the best work I've seen from you. ^_^ The only problem I have is the font you choose to use in the Sasuke banner. Maybe try something more gentile, not pixel-y.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandria Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 HAKKAI! Oooooo! Love the banners! The Sasuke one is frightening in a wonderful way. Ah, he's so pretty, especially with that foggy-blue background you gave him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shippo Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Lol, I'm so sorry I made the same title. I had no clue you posted a thread with this name earlier. I'll getted edited ASAP if you want to. As for your stuff, you've gotten much better. I'll comment on the latest batch. Sasuke- Great, nice and simple. I'm not really feeling the font though... Son Goku- Love the font, background, and over all layout. Very nice. Hakkai- It looks a lot like the one above it. Excepted the background was tinted green, and it has a different font. It looks good, but its too much like the Goku one. Great job, Uzukami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Posted May 20, 2004 Author Share Posted May 20, 2004 [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1]I was thinking of making a wallpaper but it didn't work out. I took the background of that wallpaper and pasted it onto this banner and it turned out great!

Ninjah Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 [color=darkred][size=1]Naruto..... Good job! ^_^ I love your work as well as Shippos. 1st Batch: Sesshomaru- Nice but yet looks simple. Random Stuff- 1st one is the same background as the Sesshomaru one. 2nd The background is very intresting. 2nd Batch: Sasuke- I like the quote but I don't think the font fits to well with it. Goku- I just love Saiyuki so, just because of that I'll just say I like it. ^_^ The background is also very cool looking. Is it just using brushes? Or filters? Hakkai- Again with Saiyuki! And espcially Cho Hakkai! It's possibly one of my faves since Cho Hakkai is one of my favorite Character. Except one thing... You should have used a different background and font. AIM- Intresting Idea. XP 3rd Batch: Spike- XD I love this one. The font works just well and the picture too![/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Posted May 28, 2004 Author Share Posted May 28, 2004 [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1]Thia banenr was hard to make because it's so damn hard to find a good picture of him. As you can see i used the cut boxes for this (the things on the top and bottom of the banner) and i think it turned out good. ^ ^ enjoy.

starlite Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 I really like the Itachi Uchiha and sesshourmaru ones the bast great job on them ^^ can't you allways do a great job lol ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haze Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 Lovely as ever, Uzumaki. I guess I can start at the ones from the first Sasuke banner. It looks really good. My only problem is the font. It is too pixellated for me. Everything else looks amazing. I Loooooooove those two from Saiyuki!!! I told you before they are great. I like how most of your banners have that bar on them...it sets them apart from all other people's banners. The AIM one is.........why did you make a banner for AIM? SIlly question I suppose, but hey, gotta ask. The background is really spiffy. Once again, though, the text doesn't work all that well. You can't make out alot of it. *sigh* Spike, Spike, Spike....what an awesome guy. This one looks amazing. That background rocks. I might suggest making the blocks a bit smaller though. The edges on his left side look blurry to me. It's like you used blur on that side only. Other than that it looks great. The darkness of his picture fits a little bit with his personality at times. The Itachi banner is.......WHOA! I love it. The reds and blacks swirled about fit with everything I have heard about him. The faded picture on the left adds a lot to it. The cut boxes look great. Once again, they are like your signiture. I like how they aren't plain black; they let the background and Itachi show through....only in lback and white. Neat idea. This banner has become my new favorite! ^__^ P.S. I started d/l the first episode of Naruto today! I am so excited. You would think I would have done it earlier....say around the time the Naruto Group started... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Posted May 28, 2004 Author Share Posted May 28, 2004 [SIZE=1][FONT=Verdana]Yes, Haze i guess that is my signature thing. Never really thought about it ^ ^. Well i stayed up all night to make this one and i hope you guys enjoy. Any one notice that i've been only doing red and blue banners lately? That needs to change. I made two, one with a pretty blurry picture and the other one is animated.

Ninjah Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 [color=darkred][size=1]As I must say Naruto...You 'OoO' me XD. Your animating skills are great. Kabuto is awesome... Kind of. XD Orochimaru's B*tch! Great quote. The background is freaking awesome. The Itachi Banner.... *_* Itachi! Yay! THe picture is really clear and nice looking but what bothers me is the picture in the background! This is all I have to say![/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest summercloud Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 i think the "spike" banner was the best. the image and background and font all meshed really well. i like the background on the kabuto banners but they don't fit the picture, methinks.

Sun Posted May 28, 2004 Author Share Posted May 28, 2004 [FONT=VERDANA][SIZE=1]Glad everyone likes, but right now i'm going to submit a new wallpaper! This is my 2nd wallpaper attempt. My first was of Rock Lee, the thread is somewhere around the art section. Well here you are. Sorry for the pixelation on this WP. It was too big so i had to compress it a bit.

SaiyanPrincessX Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 [COLOR=RoyalBlue]Spike banner:[/COLOR]I like the background, without the grid. If Spike were lightened up a bit that would look so much better. Also, I don't care for the size of the text, its way too large. It draws too much attention. [COLOR=RoyalBlue]Itachi Uchiha banner:[/COLOR] This is very nice. The background brings out his eyes and reminds me of his Sharingan eyes. The image up front is very crisp, and the faded image brings a nice touch. I have to say, nice job on this one. [COLOR=RoyalBlue]Itachi Uchiha avatar:[/COLOR] Nice job on this one aswell. The timing was well calculated. It fades from scene to scene nicely, and its not complex in any way. [COLOR=RoyalBlue]Kabuto:[/COLOR] I love the background, and the how the dividers change from light grey to blue. The picture however could be better quility, crisper. Aside from that I really have no qualms with it. [COLOR=RoyalBlue]Kabuto[animation]:[/COLOR] Ack, no.. I don't care for the animating text one bit. The font size also seems to bother me. I think it would look much better stilled and down sized a few notches. The image you used I like alot better than the previous however. Thats the kind of crispness I'm talking about. ^_^ [COLOR=RoyalBlue]Neji Hyuuga wallpaper:[/COLOR] Once again I love the background, but I don't like how it darkens. The image doesn't fit either. Meh, my personal preference. I do like the text though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haze Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 That is pretty good. The background is great. I like how you have made the background have that same grain effect as the picture. It makes it look like a manga scan. Really cool. That background is awesome though. It's all swirly and stuff. Great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Posted June 4, 2004 Author Share Posted June 4, 2004 [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1]This banner was a request. I've tried to make something that would fit this picture and i failed.

Sun Posted June 11, 2004 Author Share Posted June 11, 2004 [SIZE=1][FONT=Verdana] I went to New York a couple weeks ago and took a lot of pictures in Central Park. I was playing around with the cutout filter and messed with the New York photos. The other banner i made has a cool color scheme but i don't like the font.

Mimmsicle Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 [font=Verdana][size=1][color=darkred]I really like the New York banners, because it's nifty that you can take a simple photograph (that probably looked great in the beginning) and transform it into a piece of art ^_^[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=1][color=darkred]The third one really catches your eye, since it has the people in it and the cab in the background gives it a very New York feel (says the girl who has only seen it in various tv-shows on telly *lol*). Compared to the second one (which is overcrowded and has little focus) and the forth one (which has a feeling of being too arranged) it's just very nicely compositioned, hehe.[/color][/size][/font] [color=darkred][/color] [font=Verdana][size=1][/size][/font][color=darkred] [/color] [font=Verdana][size=1][color=darkred]As for the final banner, I agree on the font.

[/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=1][color=darkred][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=1][color=darkred]It'd be interesting to see you work with a new and different background.

Sun Posted June 12, 2004 Author Share Posted June 12, 2004 [FONT=VERDANA][SIZE=1]This banner was origanally planned to not have an anime character on it and leave it as is but that plan change. I took a Vash pic. from a wallpaper and put it on. It turned out great but i will still post the original version up. The other banner i used the same background but just a different character and a different style.

Ninjah Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 [size=1]Buddy! I see no flaws. Or atleast I think. Your backgrounds are amazing. O_o; I wish I could do stuff like that! I really like the Naruto one. The pictures are really clean! Keep up the work! Sorry for the short post.. I'm kinda in a hurry.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haze Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I agree with Mimmi. I love how you took ordinary photos and made them into awesome realist works of art. They are just loverly. I love the big thing with Vash on it. I have that same picture on my computer, and I have been trying to find away to use it for ages, but it seems you one-uped whatever I would have done. The background is way cool. I really like the colors. They started out kind of modest and soft, but when you added Vash (and I'm guessing more layers) they turned out to be bold and very striking. Great work. Heehee. I love that face Naruto is making. It so crazy. I really don't know what else to say. It has no flaws or problems that I can find. ^^ You're animated avi is awesome. It is just neato. I do think that the transition between the finish and beginning could be a bit smoother though. That is about all that I see that could be corrected. Way to go!!
