Art Japan's Graphics

[Japan]

[COLOR=Navy]I've been playing around with photoshop a lot lately, and here is what I made. Comments?

First off is a wallpaper. I used some of the art from MegaTokyo. I did a whole bunch of random crap to the backround. [URL=http://www.maj.com/gallery/Japan86/Random-Stuff/neverwinter-nights.jpg]NeverWinter Nights Wallpaper[/URL]

Next is a banner that I made using my favorite character, Rune, from the old Sega Genesis game, Phantasy Star 4.

Here is another banner that I made using the two main characters of the anime, Noir. [IMG]http://www.maj.com/gallery/Japan86/Random-Stuff/noir.jpg[/IMG]

The wallpaper isn't your best work. While the drawing is very good, the orb in her hand is obviously a poor lens flare, relatively harsh on the eyes. The dark reddish-blue aura it has around it is very distinct, with no blending at all. There isn't the ethereal feel to the aura. It's too solid. The typo is hard to read, and could have been positioned more effectively with the use of a better font. The background itself is also very simple, looking like a slight gradient of some sort.

The first banner is good. It looks like you just cropped an image, and threw in a border, but it is clean and effective nonetheless. All I could recomment is getting a closer picture of the person.

The second banner is good as well. I like the image of the two people you used, but the border is rather choppy/jagged. I'm sure you intended it to be like that, but it would be better as a regular, solid one. The text looks like you've cropped them from another image, because it's so streched and grainy. It might do you well to take that part out entirely, and add it in with a new futuristic font.
