AnimeSuki Banner Contest 2009 - Entry Thread

[Vexx]

Oh yeah..... (bonks self on head) I remember the process now ... usually I start paying attention in the middle of it.

@Malin: really like the flavor of the content (no idea who they are ). Can't decide if its too mono-toned or not though... you might want to play with color. I love the expressions on the characters in reference to the forums.

@Maikeru~: nice composition but seems to be too frosted for my taste. Back off on the white fog?

@Takeru: not sure why everyone is calling that "lolisuki" .. .they all have boobs as far as I can tell

I'll be the first to admit I sometimes don't know the correct words for an effect The colors just seemed too washed out to me. AS forum banners seem to have to tread a line between too bright/garish and too soft in terms of coloring. It might be all the beige that makes up the default coloring.

[Faeyice]

Meh, this is my first try.



Ugh, I really hate rendering images, especially since I'm not that great at it. ....C&C would be appreciated. <3

[ryuukazi]

Man was the gradient a pain to get just right.
Sorry don't know how they are. But feedback much appreciated

Cute It just seems to me that the render and the background don't match. They're chibi....and the background it what, pretty sky and mountains? huh? Since the render is so solid and colorful, I'd like to see that continued on w/ the background.

Not a bad start with the render and the light effects, though I don't like the background of their faces blown up and faded behind them. Just feels like filler.

Wonderful! I'd like to see some color though~

right: ehh?
center: Primula

any feedback?

Cute, I like the render...though I think they could lose the outer glow effect. I think you should give the background another try as well, as the large faded effect of her face isn't doing it for me. Nice idea for the text

This is lovely and soft, and I don't notice any problems with your rendering. Just curious, what is the character on the right holding in her hand? A broom?

I see you like those sparkly brushes, huh? You're using them in both banners. I like the render you chose, but I feel like everything is just too faded. My eyes don't feel pull to any focal point. I'd like to see a version with more color if possible~

Heh, thanks! ^^ Meh, maybe it's just because I made it I know where a lot of the bugs and such in the signature are at. And, like Riker said, it's a gardening hose. ...Although it doesn't look like any I've seen.

[White Manju Bun]
