Art banner

[youta moteuchi]

Hello there!

I don't know if there is a right size for banners, I'm kinda new with that kinda of thing.

So, would you guys take a look at my stuff and tell what to do to make them better?
Please note that I din't insert any text yet... those are just the background pictures based on my ariginal artwork.

Thanks.

EDIT: I adde anew one, hehe

The banners are nice and all, but If you're intending to use them on Otakuboards, they're a little big. I believe the maximum dimensions are 100 tall, 500 wide.

That having been said, I'll go through each in left to right, the orange bottom picture being last...

1.) The picture is a little fuzzy. If the picture was a little less fuzzy, it would be a very good job. Something I should mention, if your using them as banners on O.B, they have to be horizontal (sorry if I sound harsh, completely unintentional.) I like the way 'Us' is done.

2.) This one seems a little bland, like you just took a picture, cropped what the dimensions were and pasted it in. Maybe add some text, a new backround (if you have a program with layers, use the wand tool to seperate the figure to its own layer, delete the white backround and have at 'er. Or if in paint, just make sure everything but the figure is white, and select it using the box tool (use the bottom option of the 2) and go from there)

3.) Once more, a little bland. Having a grey picture could come in handy, maybe a colored backround or something, bring the focus in. Basically follows comment #2

4.) This one is easily my favorite, the only problem being the text is a tiny bit hard to read, nothing really bad, just a bit. I like the quote and everything. Good job.

So [b][u]Overall:[/u] [/b]I think that you have some minor issues to work on, but the banners, with a little more work promise to be some very good pieces of work. A neat trick is to make the backround transparent (or close, such as mine, doesnt work quite right on both color schemes of O.B due to me using paint, which doesnt have a transparency, I had to print screen, cut and paste the grey.) Still looks good enough, so that could be something interesting to try.
