Request Stars, Banner, and Avies, oh my!

[Revelation]

[size=1][color=#C82356]I think it's time for a new style and theme for me. I wasn't sure what I wanted at first, but then I realized I needed something that reflected how I am at the moment, and so I would like to ask the artists here to take up a challenge.

What I want is a banner with the quote: "Sing like no one's listening and Dance like no one's watching Because there isn't anyone there Except for you and the stars." If this is too long, then have it say: "Sing like no one's listening... Dance like no one's watching." I would like the words to be in an elegant cursive and in gold on a star background. If that is not possible, then that is alright.

And the avatar should match the background except I would like the word: "SpeakerBox" on it. Thanks to those who choose to challenge themselves.[/size][/color]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]Well, I gave it a shot...how could I not? You wanted stars! I'm an astronomy nerd...stars are one of my favorite things to play with, graphic wise.

I wound up making two banners, one with the full quote, one with the part quote, and you made me use the dreaded white stripe! :animecry:

Er, sorry about that. Sorry I couldn't get the text gold, either...it all turned out looking brown. :grumble:

But those few little explainations aside...I hope you like one of them...

Banner Two

Personally, I think banner two is the better one, but that's just me. [/COLOR]

[size=1][color=#C82356]Somehow that was exactly what I was looking for. I congratulate you, Ozy. Although, I won't use your banner and avatar set as of yet. I want to see what others are cooking up, but I still congrat you.[/size][/color]

[COLOR=Blue][SIZE=1]Sorry, but I went a little nuts. I didn't know if you'd like a darker background or lighter background. And I added a picture to the light one because it looked better when it wasn't so empty. I was just constantly messing with it, but eh. Here's what I ended up with. (And sorry that there's so many. o.x;; )

[size=1][color=#C82356]My, my, my. I see that we have very talented artists here. I think I'll wait for a few more days since I'm not fully ready to decide. Mind you, I like them all, I just haven't found that one that grabs my attention.[/size][/color]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]Stars are an obsession, so I made yet another...

Grabbing yet?[/COLOR]

[Revelation]

[size=1][color=#C82356]Wow, I've got to say that these are all well done. I've come down to a final two, I'm not sure as to whose I would use yet. Sorry guys, but they're just not grabbing yet. I'm going to wait.[/size][/color]
