Fyxe Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 [size=1][color=darkblue]Hey! ^^ Today I have another banner for you! *hears crickets in the background... otherwise total silence* Eh.... Anyway, I made this Trigun banner last night while I was playing around with Adobe. I think it's rather interesting. That bass relief sure does put on an interesting effect! Well, I'm open for comments and suggestions! Enjoy!(I have now only noticed that I say that everytime.... I need a new word...)[/color][/size]
Baron Samedi Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 *is freaking out* What is that horrible white smear across there? Where is the border? Aarrrggh! Basically, this could be drastically improved upon. It needs a border. I don't think that 'bass relief' looks good in any sense of the word. It looks pretty damn bad, sorry to say. The banner would have been good with a border and without the bass relief. Show us it with/out both of those things. I could almost guarantee it would look much better. Sorry for the whole nasty Simon Cowelledness of this review, but compared to your last magnificent piece, this is a bit of a let-down. Aesthetics: 4/10 Technical: 6/10 Nice cropping at least. Heh.
Xyandar Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 I liked the Banner. I looked at it for quite some time seeing what you did with it. it looks like you did a fair bit of work to finish this banner. I give you an 8/10 for Effort and good work!;)

[/B][/QUOTE] [size=1][color=darkblue]Yeah, I know. ^^;; I do have a border though... it's just skinny and white. But thanks for telling me what you think, your post actually made me wake up and see what I did. Man... I must have been really out of it when I made that. Well, I hope you guys like this one better. It's an Ivy banner from Soul Calibur 2 I made a few days ago. I think this one is alright. The border looks more in place since it blends in with the banner. I did that by simply feathering it a bit. Heheh, I like the eyes... Anyway, here you go! ^^[/color][/size]

[/B][/QUOTE] [color=033333]My thoughts exactly. Sorry but the white smear and no-border is a total let-down compared to your other awsome work. Heh. Like I said this is a really big downer and I think it could use a bit of work. The border should be able to be seen by the naked eye though, otherwise it's not much of a border. ^^' [b]White borders on white background does not mix[/b] Now it's rating time. [b][u]Banner/Conna_da_fox/trigun banner[/u] Rating:[/b] 3/10 I don't know about anyone else but the picture just doesn't seem to match the background.[/color]
Baron Samedi Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 This Ivy one isn't too bad. It gives it an interesting button style effect by having it embossed. The stock is clear and high quality... that slashy purple overlay/effect looks awesome... overall, a lot better than your last one. However, your text is too understated. It needs to stand out. Perhaps a different colour, and a newer, flashier font would work well, and maybe some form of defintion behind the text- a spot of airbrushing or something like that. It would just cap this banner off I feel. Aesthetics: 7.5/10 Technical: 7/10
