New banners for the forum

[shinta|hikari]

I didn't mean to make the render darker. I like the previous brightness more.

What I meant by smoothing it out is use the blur tool or the smudge tool to let the shades blend with the flat colours. It'll help make the image look more in sync with the more realistic BG.

[Nadouku]

I can't place the render any further to the left, because the render doesn't "allow" it... her black wing ends exactly at that point

Oh, I thought the image was placed on there. Nevertheless, some smoothing and other quirks would do the trick. As for the emptiness, you could place another Rozen Maiden character on there, though only one comes to mind when I think of "dark".

I guess none of the new banners passed approval, based on the lack on updates and the lose of interest on the users. LOL. Oh well.

[Nadouku]

Some of the old banners do need to be replaced, with the exception of some. These new banners simply cover the new seasons of the year, and they are pretty great.

haha, I went through this entire thread today, and I must say... you guys have some real talent! I'm kinda burnt out on online games right now, so I think I'm going to try my hand at some banners and sigs, etc.

One thing I did notice though is: many of the banners that you guys have created are missing the darker black shadow effect that rides up the side of the white section of the forums on the outsides. Also the very top 'GotWoot?' bar is missing it too... I'll see about editting the top bar at least and PM'n it to Comp unless someone else gets around to it before me.

It's been a while since I've done any graphic design, so who knows how long it will take me... hehe

Again though, great work guys! It really made my day!

Right click on the rotating banner image at the top (rotate.php) and open it on a new page. You'll notice that that is the only part of the banner that needs modification when making a new banner. The rest is all part of the standard layout of the site.

[Archangel]

Sure, go ahead

You'll probably just end up cluttering them with excessive special effects and lighting like usual ...

[Buffalobiian]

I like how you incorporated "insanity" into there. . Is it possible for him to look a bit more...insane?

[Buffalobiian]

I don't think Masa bothers with them, and Comp hasn't shown his face for a while.

[Kagemane_no_Jutsu]

yeah.. probly.

started with the one I liked the most....



hmmm too much contrast?

heres it with less

[Ryllharu]

The second one is the best. Much improved over the original (no offense Archie) without going too far. It looks like an acrylic painting, which is a nice effect.

[shinta|hikari]

I actually like the original a little more (no offence kage), but only because I like the direct black and white contrast, without the extra colours. Feels like yin and yang.

The one I think that can be worked on the most is Archie's first one (the Soul Eater one). You should give that a shot kage.

That's what i was going for

Hey he can't mess with the first one :S

I said it was ok to mess with the second and third because i just stole them from other wallpapers and just messed with the colors, but the first one is all me.

I only see a gradient with some text. Did you make the soul render dude?

I'm the one who took the screenshot and made the render out of it so no, you can't use it ...

Maybe you should try, you know, actually come up with an original concept yourself?
