I wanted the Hellsing logo and the freaky eyes to be fuzzy. That was supposed to add effect along with Alucard looking like he was coming out of the shadows. I noticed that I haven't made anything from Yu Yu Hakusho yet, so I made this banner of Jin. Everything is blue. :eek: I think it's pretty neat. Do you? (that rhymes heh) [IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=425943[/IMG]

Oh Snap! I didn't notice it was cut off until you said that. Thanks -- Fixed. I just changed the attachment on the one up there so I could re-attach this Hellsing banner which got deleted during "the merge."

Thanks Chris. Kikaider is a very good show, by the way. Here's a .hack//sign banner with Tsukasa and Subaru on it. This is the first one I've ever made with any sort of border, so... was it a good or a bad move? [IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=425679[/IMG] Like it?

Well, here's my last entry. I really hope that these are good enough to make it in. I wasn't sure what to submit as my final entry, but I decided to get another drawing in since pretty much anyone can make banners. heh So, here's a pic of Sango from InuYasha [URL=http://artist.theotaku.com/index.php?view=2029]Sango with Hiraikotsu[/URL] *crosses fingers, toes, and eyes*

Here's another Kikaider banner: [IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=425176[/IMG] Tell me what you think. The quote is from the very sad, last episode. [color=teal]EDIT:[/color] This is a Hellsing banner that I just finished tonight. It features none other than the craziest vampire ever, Alucard. What a cool character, no? :cool: [IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=425758[/IMG] Feedback is needed and appreciated (so I don't have to double post). :)

Heh. I had their first CD (this was when I was still buying tapes, though)when it came out. They used to be my favorite group back then. Haven't heard anything from them recently. I'm not in to that kind of music anymore, anyway.

The Final Fantasy logo doesn't look jagged to me. :rolleyes: Well, I finally found time to make a new banner. It's of one of my new favorite anime, Android Kikaider: The Animation. Yes, I really do like this show and am not afraid to admit it. :cross: The banner shows Ichiro and Jiro in a brotherly pose (heh). Overlying the background is a transparent picture of a computer chip on which I put a glowing edge effect. [IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=424744[/IMG]

Here's my second entry. It's an AFI banner. Make sure to look closely. ;) [IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=415810[/IMG]

I tried once to get in but was told that I didn't have enough posts. Here's my chance to not wait for another 150 posts. [color=red]I'll post one of my drawings that can be found in the fan art section. [URL=http://artist.theotaku.com/index.php?view=2017]Kagome[/URL] It looks much better in person, mind you. heh[/color]

I never said that InuYasha and Sango ever had feelings for each other. I was just tossing out an idea. Jeeeeez!

The original Kikaider was only 13 episodes. If you are keeping track, they are now past 13. This is because after Kikaider ended, it was decided that 4 new episodes would be added with Kikaider 01. The new girl android looks mysteriously like Mitsuko (she calls herself Bijinder I think). As for the other Hakaiders, the main one has Dr. Gill's brain in it and the others have his top assistant's brains. [color=red]Does anyone know a site where they have pictures of the Kikaider characters? I've searched for stuff under Android Kikaider: The Animation, Jinzou Ningen Kikaida/Jinjou Ningen Kikaida, and plain Kikaida and Kikaider. I can't find anything but DVD covers and the live-action show. Was this anime really unpopular in Japan or something?[/color]

First off,I'd like to [i]never[/i] see anymore Pokemon in a Super Smash Bros game. Who would actually choose to fight as Pichu??!!! bleh Second; [b]no clones[/b]. It would have been awesome playing as Ganon, Falco, Doc Mario, Young Link, and Roy with their own personal moves. Most importantly; [b]characters[/b]. Captain Olimar, his assistant Loogi (or whatever they're calling him now), and some Pikmin would be cool. Pit from Kid Icarus is a [b]must[/b]. Ever since I saw that trophy of him with the new look, I needed more. I wanna see Wario, Waluigi, and maybe Baby Bowser. I'm sure more Mario characters won't be a problem. heh The Skull Kid, perhaps. Oooh, and I want Link to be able to collect and wear masks for transformations to Zora, Deku, and Goron. Whoa, think of fighting as Oni-Link. Maybe these could be a universal item for all the characters to use. *Imagines Peach trying on the Goron mask* That's all I can think of now.

I like. It looks like a brown paper bag with amazing penning skills. But, I know that it's not, so....... *saves* Word :cross:

Samurai Jack is made in America and yes, I like it too. Guilty pleasure on TV -- that damn Trading Spaces show. I can't believe that I can actually watch a whole episode of it and not get angry at my mom or sister. [size=1]This thread will probably get moved to the Music, Movie, & TV forum since we're aren't necessarily talking about anime.[/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Metatron [/i] [B]I think Kikaider is very well made considering that my parents say they saw it when they were kids...[/B][/QUOTE] :drunk: Android Kikaider: The Animation was released in Japan in 2000 as Jinjou Ningen Kikaida and spanned 13 episodes. It was based off of the popular live-action version of the same name created by Shotaro Ishinomori(the guy who did Power Rangers) in the 70s. Maybe they saw that one?? Go to [URL=http://kikaider.almostblue.net/kikaider.htm]this site[/URL] and look at the corniness of the live-action Kikaider. :laugh: Nice rubber suit with the hole in the armpit.

As you can see, I can be very imaginitive and one little thing I thought of lead to this 3 paragraph description. I knew that this wasn't going to happen in the show, but I just wanted to share with everyone what I've been thinking about and how far it's gone. I'm crazy!! :) Well, it was pretty interesting, no? Kinda makes you think.

I figured that they were supposed to look similar, being from the same game. I think you misspelled the names Astaroth and Mitsurigi, but that can be fixed in a second. Maybe they are just a little too simple, but I do like them. Hey, where's Link??? :)

A while ago, I was thinking about the three main, girl characters in InuYasha and thought about how similar they looked. Of course, I'm talking about Kagome, Kikyou, and Sango. And then I got to thinking, maybe Sango, too, is a reincarnation of Kikyou. Here's my possible theory I've been thinking up. It may sound messed up and may have some holes in it, but you never know... Maybe, just maybe, Sango is also a reincarnation of the Priestess Kikyou. Not only do they look alike (which is not saying much for animated characters), but Sango is from the town of the Shikon Jewel's origin. It would only make sense that after Kikyou died and took the jewel with her that it would be reincarnated into a girl from the village of it's origin, right? Ok, so Kikyou died 50 years before the show took place, taking the jewel with her and forever putting it to rest, free from the grasps of evil. Then Sango was born around 30 years later, but was not born with the jewel. After, Sango was born and died, there were to be more and more reincarnations of Kikyou (like Sango) to keep peace in the world, until it was decided that this was not enough and the power of the Shikon Jewel was needed afterall. Then, for however many years it took for Kagome to be born, it was decided that she was to be reincarnated with the jewel in her, destined to travel back in time and use it's power to save Feudal Japan. Since this show is not over, no one actually knows how it ends and though I doubt that anything that I've written above could take any part in the story, it very well could happen. Well, anyone have any thought on this or just want to tell me that I'm stupid for thinking this? Share.

I've decided, like others, to just make one topic for all of my banners instead of constantly making new ones. I'm gonna post new works in here as I do them. Keep checking back and telling me what you think. Here's some of the ones from other threads that some of you may or may not have seen: [IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=415068[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=415810[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=417424[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=413731[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=414339[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=419405[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=419634[/IMG] ... and here's a brand new Kaoru, Megumi and Misao banner. I grouped these three because of the nicknames that Saitou gave them. Kaoru=raccoon, Megumi=fox, and Misao=weasel. I may put some kind of pictures of their respective animals in there, but I'm not sure if that will look too cluttered. Please take a look and tell me what you think. [IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=420490[/IMG]

The background is nice, but the rest could use some slight tweaking: 1. The picture of the girl could use some closer cropping because you can see a white line surrounding her. 2. The position of the lens flare is strange and stands out too much. If lighting effects don't look right, it is sometimes better to leave them out. A better position could make this "shine" (lol pun intended). 3. The text isn't too bad, but it could be of a better selection, in my opinion. With some slight fix-ups, this could be a very nice wallpaper. I commend you on your efforts. :)

I just did this one tonight in between watching Adult Swim and talking on AIM. It is quite nice if you take the time to give it a look. :) The background is an actual map from the game, although it is covered mostly by the characters. Well, tell me what you think everyone. I'd appreciate the feedback.

[quote][i]Originally said by him ^^up there^^[/i] [b]Do guys or girls who get their nipples pierced sometimes stick the neele thru thier shirts/sweaters into the hole so that the main part of the ring is on the outside? Just wondering, cauce my girfriend dose it.[/b][/quote] Heh. I think I've seen Lenny Kravits do that before. I don't know of any other non-celebrities that would do that, though. :)

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem -- great game, didn't sell like it should've. The sanity effects were ground-breaking. Chrystalis for the NES -- I'm not sure if this game was popular or not because I hadn't heard of it until I downloaded it for my emulator.

When I clicked, I didn't expect to see such a nice piece of art. The shading is very well done. The flowing coat is beautiful. Keep posting!!

I tweaked the background a bit and now I must say that I am happy with it. Here it is... [color=blue]Edit: Wait 'til you see what I'm cooking up next :)[/color]
