Autumn 2004 Banner Contest!!!!

[Anbu_33]

looks nice , only thing i dont like is that the last girl looks like shes all alone , try to put her with the rest , place her before the pink haired one or just make her look the other way .

Eh, I liked it the way it was before.

And to Anbu, that's kinda how that character is... she's more aloof than the others

[MidoriShinobi]

Yeah, she's the shy, aloof one. haha! oh, do you think I should change it back?
do you mean the version without the ribbon? Or.. thanks for your input!

Looks alright to me, but if you imagine it at the top there, the ribbon would've been cutoff the way it was before.

So the FMA ones are fine...the pucca ones...well to be honest, I thought they looked the MOST autumn like because of the tree/sun/bird thing...but thats just me. As for the other two I posted I believe that the dulled colourless version of it works fine for halloween, the text and image both suit in my opinion...


EDIT
P.S I believe that there are a few others that are not very autumn like aswell...so maybe you shouldn't just comment on mine...but thanks for doing so anyway.

EDIT 2
Ideas on how to make my entries more halloweeny/autumn like would be appreciated.

EDIT 3
Nevermind actually, I am going to try and choose some other images.

It was the same for me too!, I have really bad sources for SS T_T besides none of them felt like "autumn" to me. As for the Mahou shoujo tai I might make one, but I dont want to split votes as NSW wisely advice, Im almost sure certain series has an advantage already

*prepares himself to bear that banner for a whole season*

well, this is a new version but I would like more feedback before replacing my entry ^_^ I tried color with the text but it wasnt that great



Im trying my best to capture the autumn feel, but to be honest, Ive never experienced any season, so my only references are movies, which Im starting to think are not the best ones...

[Anbu_33]

thats actually alot better than the first versions , the text is alot better and the fading of the images looks great , best improvement yet.

with the SS pics i was going for a halloween look , with the sapuris and stuff , but just didnt look right , hehe

Good work, but make sure you blend the left and right edges ^^'
Might wana darken the outline on the text a tad too just to make it stand out.

Yeah, the version without the ribbon It just seems a little out of place in the image, especially on her.

[MidoriShinobi]

This is my official submission! Please comment on it! Thanks!

If the leaves are from a brush, you may find it easiest to add them to a new transparent layer, thus avoiding on altering the bluish background and character objects.)

That's kinda funny... the leaves don't look natural... Nevermind....

Edit : Found more mistakes. I'm going to make this perfect.

Edit2 : I am done!



Replace the first banner NSW. The girl, with this one.

Unless I find another stroke of inspiration I'm done with the banners.

Still think the Pokemon one is the best though.....

Midori = Very cute, easily able to be in contention for the top 3. Only complaint is that you claim their in kimonos, but I can't see them not 1 bit. All I really see is 4 heads floating around. Move them up a tiny bit.

Gravitation =

Exactly what does this have to do with autumn? I can't even think of a story for it, and that's bad. Then again you can throw in some bats or leaves and you're done!

I'm surprised nobody made a jack o' lantern yet

[MidoriShinobi]

Isn't that a photo? Haha, not realistic enough, eh?
Well, I like it Aahhsin! The girls are cute. ^o^

Here goes attempt #1...

Attempt #2:

Do you like it?

I like it, but it reminds me of spring, rather than fall, but it might just be me. Oh and the left side looks weird, near here hair it looks green or something

Looks good, but the text is hard to read. But the left side is supposed to blend isn't it?

Meh, I keep forgetting about that. *writes note to self to redo banner when she gets back from Lake Compounce*

[mantidor]

I agree with Oujirou. PriestessKikyo, I cant see autumn here, however is a very nice banner, I like it a lot ^_^

safaia So far you have done great, you fixed the bad cropping of the first one and the right side to make it blend, now you need to fix the quality a bit and the left side, keep up the good work ^^


Ive decided to replace my entry with the newer version, here its is in case NSW is to lazy to scroll back to the previous post

[gravitation]

Ahhh okey! I had another two goes!





I need suggestions/comments on font colours etc! Thanks!

[MidoriShinobi]

Ooh! Gwavie, I love your avatar. Takuto is hawt.
I like the first banner the best.. although the font could be smoother.
Unless that's how it's supposed to be? either way, it's nice. ^o^
