The show or the banner

[Hiiragi]

... me again. got another one cause I am having fun with photoshop. not sure anyone has done this show or not.. thread is too long to flip all the way through. lol  . I did go through alot of it though and there are a few that I wonder what more they needed to get accepted because the look really nice to me... 

anyway, I think this one is an improvement from my last two attempts at a good banner...those ones I'm rethinking.

I'd like some suggestions on this one though, please.

Here is an alt version with the fox more involved, although I think its to much.

You can find the character name there as well, this is required for the staff to post the banner.

Hm, the "Anime Community" coloring is a bit overshadowed (not literally). You could change it to a brighter pink, or something that flows as well with the rest of the banner? Perhaps you could color it as you did with the "BakaBT" and have the BakaBT itself reverted to its original white?

I really enjoy these two.  The background looks awesome.  Idk about the fox on the right though.  It almost seems to large.  Anyways nice work ^^

I think he could move the fox a bit to the right and maybe the entire composition to the left, that way the BakaBT text has plenty of space and the fox doesn't look like he's Interruptor Jones.

Edit: Though, that would probably break the spacing guidelines.

Made by Pentool featuring November 11 from Darker Than Black.

As you can see, I've repaired the outline. After I played around with that for a bit I realized that the calendar was way too powerful of an image to take up so much space as it was, so I toned it down with this shadow effect. This gives the RSS icon space to breath by pushing the shadowed section into the background and easing the transition to November 11's place while still giving the calendar's important points attention.

I was pretty tired last night so I didn't get around to working on my other two banners, but I have some ideas for both of them.

Yes, that is precisely what I meant!

I've been improving my skill with photoshop recently so here are 2 new banners in both black and purple. Tell me what you think.





Sakura Haruno from Naruto Shippuden





Rebbeca Miyamoto from Pani Poni Dash

@Pentool: I think it'll look better if the whole "November" and "11" can be seen on the calender.
(Without part of it being cut. i.e. make the calender smaller)

@the dude with that naruto banner:  Looks better when it's black although I think you can fill up more space instead of just Sakura there.
No idea what you could do about that though.

i like it better this way too...hmmI think I prefer the black BG cause there are already so many bright colors in it..just a personal preference though.

i like the pani poni dash one. It's fun. but the I think maybe the naruto one needs something more, like changing out a letter or something. i like the patterns you used in the bgs. very nice.

[Pentool]

~Nippe!
You have alot of really nice work in some of these!

Here's a few things that need changed though:

Spice and Wolf -- the Spice and Wolf logo is pretty small and unreadable, but even if it wasn't it's a bit distracting and seems a little superfluous with the BBT logo. What I would suggest is removing the Spice and Wolf logo (or airbrushing if it was part of the backdrop) and placing the BakaBT logo in that spot. The other issue is that Lawrence will be directly behind the Search box and the Donate icon, so you won't be able to see his features. You should always keep 200 pixels free to the right and at least 100 to the left.

Noein -- the right side of the banner has an awful lot of dead space, try adding about 90 or so pixels between the left side and the first character on the end. The Japanese characters will also look a bit strange because they are on the bottom of the banner, directly next to the toolbar; it will make the top side look strangely empty. Try removing it for one revision and see if it looks better.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann -- same as above; move the entire composition - except for the backdrop - to the right, and add a few dozen pixels between Kamina and the BakaBT logo (not so much that the BBT logo is under the Search box though).

@Nippie:  I like most of your banners (Mainly the S&W/Gurren Lagann ones) but you're missing the background gradient on the S&W and Saki banners.  Also the spacing issues which Pentool has already pointed out.  They look nice though, keep working at em!

~

@Jay:  The Naruto one just feels like it's missing something... Not sure what... but something.  Maybe something to help bring out the character.  She seems small in a very large amount of space.

~

@Jesta: The one with the chick and the fox (dunno the anime or names lol)  Can we see one without the fox at all?  With her face and the round background thing, it might look complete with just those.  Also, the text from this one looks better imo

~

@Pentool: November 11.  Looking better.  The calender seems too big though.  I'd say try shrinking it a little bit (So we see all of November and 11) and slide it all left a little bit so BakaBT isn't over the search box.

~

@mrdkreka:  I don't even know man... lol... I think I like it...   I like the vast use of colors, I will say that... and I feel as if you're trying to invade and explode my mind with it ^_^

And I'll use this as an opportunity to bump my Revy banner ^_^

Did anyone else notice it says "Why doughnut?" intead of Why donate?

[Pentool]

You just described the show i was illustrating with the banner

I think the graffiti would look better, if you could make it look more like real graffiti. Maybe make the edge more soft.

Thanks shabutie and pentool. Those were some good advise. I'll do my best to fix them.

@shabutie

I tried gradient bg with Saki, but I just didn't like it as much as the way it is now.
