First version of a 3rd entry. I might brush a little bit.

I like this one more than your Death Note banner. Maybe blend/blur out the edges on the "ice" in the background a bit. I love the little paw prints!

This makes me wonder if the Kanon banners shouldn't have a separate battle between them.

Struggling with a Princess Tutu banner.

How's this?

I think the font is still big, but don't take my words on it (I really have, uhh, "bad judging eye" ). While you're at it, can you change the font? I think it's too plain. This banner is my fav so far and I'd like to see it perfect.

[Tasukiseishi]

These are my three banners. Is there anything I should change or add on? I posted the 3rd one earlier but I thought it would be better to put them all in one post like everyone else is doing.

I agree. Make the "forums" the same size or smaller and it'll be perfect!

And monotype cursova is so last century...

Try using the arenski "Kanon" font...

You big meanie, thats the one I am using in my Kanon banner.

Jokes aside, the banner looks great either way.

Remember, the edges need to be clear on both sides.

EDIT:

Oh yes, and also make sure the banner is below the 60 KB mark. yours is almost double the size.

[Lilith]

Yes yes use the Kanon font! Sorry Daniel E..

Truedream~ FFX. <3

Unfortunately, you have a two mistakes:
-Fatal: As Daniel E. mentioned, please consider the edges of the banner (read the first post in this thread). I hope you can fix it soon so that it won't be disqualified.
-Minor: The edges of the extracted image of Yuna and Tidus are sharp, make it softer so that it blends well with the background.

[Potatochobit]

I agree. Make the "forums" the same size or smaller and it'll be even more wonderful!

fixed it for you. actually i prefer it bigger

the competition is heating up, i'll have to pull out all the stops for my third one, if i get it done. then i will number the entries.

[Riker]

Buuu... I like Monotype Corsiva. ;__;
New version with another font + Oboro (I forgot about him. Gomen...)





And I know it's not allowed, but I couldn't resist making an animated version.
Too bad GIF format screws up the gradient and quality. :x

[Deathkillz]

Not only is this 100K, way over the legal limit, but please check out your edges:

Looks pretty ugly, eh? That's why we insist that the edges be kept clear of all image!

If anyone wants to try this for themselves, just use this code:

Ooooo! That's even better! Now let's test your edges.


Yup! Perfect! Is this intended to replace the old version?

And I know it's not allowed, but I couldn't resist making an animated version.

OMG! That's even cuter! I'm curious how bad the gradient is messed up:

Hmm. Not too bad, but even if we allowed that, the filesize is still 84K and that won't be easily reduced in a gif. Well, we don't want animated banners anyway since they'd be distracting.

[felix]

What do you mean Not too bad?! look at all that noise :(, it's even more painfull on the flowers on the bags :'(
Non-Gif version is way cuter anyway..

BTW, nice job with the banner Riker :)

[Truedream]

Oops...my bad.

Heh, I couldn't resist trying this on two of my banners.

That makes two yuri FFVII banners from you. Working on a theme? It is a definite improvement over the Death Note banner, though you still don't have anything as quirky/cute as your last Etna banner with the pumpkin wearing girl. (I love that banner.)
