[SIZE=1]Welcome to my new[[est]] Art Thread, it shall be packed full of PhotoShop banner making, random drawings and manipulations, and perhaps some more photography.
So to start you off; I have my latest banner created on the 16th of March 2006.

[Retribution]

[size=1]I know how frustrating it can be when no one comments on your artwork, so I'll try to help you out.

[b]Byakuya:[/b] As far as signatures on OB, this is pretty good. You seem to have a firm grasp on extraction and stock-placement, as Byakuya interacts well with the rest of the banner pretty well. The background is a bit frustrating, though, as it leads your eyes away from the main focus of the picture. Try to do something a bit more dynamic with them, as they're defined in some places (the left side) and soft and blurry in others (right side). The text, particularly the pixel font, is blurry. I'm not sure if there's some setting that's off, but you might want to check into it, as it seriously affects the visibility. Still, a job well done.

[b]Ichigo:[/b] Honestly, I think this one is extremely good, but it could be perfected by changing your text. Like I said above, it's a bit blurry, and the Old English font is a bit light with its outlight. I'd also recommend not using the white bar that goes across the image, as it only seems to make it more white than it needs to be. Other than that, I'd just give the background a few more orange strokes for balance, and call it a day. I love Ichigo and the cross-thatch on him as well.

Keep it up![/size]
