AnimeSuki Banner Contest - July 2007 - "Sky"

[Cyz]

Just did a little editing on my first one. You think this is better?

--> Btw, when the rule says maximum of 3 does it mean that maximum of 3 tries or 3 different ones?

[Deathkillz]

it means 3 banners you would like to submit ~ you are allowed to edit/modifiy as much as you want and even replace some if you feel that future creations look better but you have to make it clear what banners you are submitting to avoid confusion ^.^

and i really like the misuzu one you made *thumbs up*

[Ice Climbers]

Alright I tweaked around more, to fix that blue problem that Deathie talked about




And I'm starting to think we should post our attempts in our own threads, it's getting quite chaotic here

[CrowKenobi]

Icy: what you did worked and it looks great!

Cyz: Also looks great!

Here is the FINAL version of my first entry from Last Exile:

But some people dont have a thread in fan creations, plus posting all our entries here is the whole point of this thread.

Though, no harm done If you want to post yours over there as well.

Yes, it's purpose is for holding entries but... are work in progress considered entries?

No, at the end of the entry phase, you only need to make it clear wich are the final versions of your banners (i.e: put them all in one post)

At the very least, that's how I always end up doing it.

[Ice Climbers]

Alright my newest entry (surprised I didn't see any Ayu ones ) well I made one:



Again, comments are welcome and appreciated =]

Love the banner too, it's simple but stands out

Yep I realised that.. but I thought it was futile to reconsider making it clearer since its pretty obvious we're at ANIMESUKI and not ANIMESURI

But since you mention it I guess it could become a hassle. Thanks for the coment I'll try something to make it more visible.

[Daniel E.]

Another similar one.



Though, I am not sure if the Sky vibe is strong enough on this one.

Font will be changed eventually.

[steelbound]

Working with my first banner:

Original-


I slightly blurred the foreground picture and tried different fonts.

This I think is my favorite:


Other tries:




Any comments appreciated.
Kira_Naruto, thanks for the comment. I choose the pose on purpose since she's looking up into the sky.

Here's my only entry into this season's banner contest. I would really appreciate any feedback, so please post away. I went for a more relaxed theme... I hope it's 'sky' enough, and that twilight was an okay period to use.

[Arakawa]

Last one. Comments and tips would be nice

[Daniel E.]

It needs to match the gradient. >_<!

Making Misuzu more visible could help a little.

@steelbound: I also like the second one best, though, fonts aren't exactly my fort.

[CrowKenobi]

Third banner idea... don't know if it's sky enough...



(keeping with my tradition of at least one Fate/Stay Night banner in the mix.)

I think it's pretty "sky" to me but the borders =]

While the overall mode is excellent.. the girl is too burnt out IMO.. hard/pin light blending?

Make it softer and its a winner

Barring obvious mistake that I missed.. this would be the final 1st submission from me >_<



+edit+
@ steelbound .. 2nd is the best.. and the last font choice suits IMO..

@ Arakawa .. I kinda like this one.. fix the edge so it blends nicely with the gradient and you've set ^^

@ Dan .. Trees as filler! O__O I'm the first one to use that idea ... anyway, I think you've good to go, except the font .. find some more kiddish font to match the girls, Big fat fonts @_@

@ Cyz .. Make the cloud more pronounce .. Other then that, erm.. Nice sig!

i actually like the "burnt" like effect created though :3 it is very dream~like and it has artistic depth ^.^

okey im actually crazy enough to try working with the worse gradient ever @_@

[Klashikari]

... some times, i want to murder Imageshack...

oh well, here is my first entry... plain...T-T



sky? dunno, your opinion should set its fate.

[KiNA]

Lose the kanji... Maybe make the color transition for animesuki more subtle?

Dreamy effect well done IMO ^^b
