I just wanted to post some banners...

I assumed that since this site is pretty new, the banner up there^ came with it. So to kill time, I decided to make some banners. I know no one told anyone that we needed it, but since I felt like GIMPing* something, I decided that it would be for this.

I am not saying that you have to use this, I just want to show you guys the banners, especially since I haven't made any in a while.

I also saved these as an .xcf, so any changes can be made. (like the slogan, the size, or the characters used, etc.)

Oh, and since it was made by me, I decided to put it on here. It's not fan art of anything, but this little section just said 'Original Work.'

PS: Constructive critism would be nice. ^_^

*GIMP is like Photoshop, but no one hears of it because there's so much Photoshoppers out there. D: Even though GIMP is FREE!

awesome banner and the green castis is it form digimon.

I think it's a Catuar from Final Fantasy.
I wouldn't know since I renamed the file as "green2" when i was organizing my renders. >>;;

lol very nice banners hope they go to good use... (tai)

I like the chibi ichigo on the first one ^_^
[good friends send good piccies to friends ;D]
but the second one is better.
(pokes tai)
hers are better than any I coulda made.
USE THEM!
:]

is that gonna be our phraze now? ordinary interest, intense passion?

eh katiee?

btw, what if the slogan became that? that'll be cool. ^^

lol i guess that should be our new slogan since we have none, and not too many would seem better...

Those Banners are verrrrrrry nice, i'd use them in a heartbeat...but one problem...THEY TOO BIIIIIIIIIG!!!! Lol the maximum size is i believe 300x300 pixels...ill just check real quick......

.......i'm Sorry, i was a little off, its actually 350x215 pixels that you see up there at this time. I think the max would be about...say...400x325, and thats streching it, im not sure if it'll be accepted. My advice would be make a 350x215 version and then expand on it. But thank's for the banners they look awesome and i would use them if i could.

ehehehehe....

i just took a screenshot of the page and got the size from there.
i assumed that it would be wrong anyway. ^^

in any case, you won't be getting the resized images anytime soon.
i have tons of hw left to do
and it's spring break...
so i'mma procrastinate by just watching Claymore ;D

don't worry, i'll get to them soon enough.
i might make more, but it takes a couple of hours to finish them in one shot [which is my work ethic...]

i think i might be able to solve that problem

LOL light is bigger than all the rest of them. hes god of the second banner!! XD all are really gud i like the second one best tho! and i agree wit katie friends share!

Hey Mar? can you like teach me how'd you make banners? i dont want to du it like the anime club bur for other things kay? will you? PWEASE if you du u rule!!!

1) Minase: you don't have to do it. tis my works after all

2) Katiee: what is there to share? the render? the pics? i posted them, so i guess it's up for grabs... but then i'll hunt you down and kill you in your sleep. if anyone wants the render or something, tell me, i guess.

3) Ash: i use GIMP. and the last time i made a tut i made a bazillion screenshots of what i did. i don't feel like doing that. i'd rather not teach people.

if anything, i suggest people should use GIMP than PS.
visit gimp.org

*GIMP is freeeeeee!*

well i was going to propose a image cleaner and res shop.

YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Finally finished redoing the banners.

I don't really like square-ish ones, but at least I managed.
It so tiny! >>;
The slogan can't fit actually, I'm sorry.
It was only there where Light is because there's nothing else to put.

ps: I didn't mean for the naruto one to be smaller!!! >< (I really like that one because of the bg)

lol i knew about GIMP,... just never cared much for things like PS and GIMP... but i guess I should learn... (If I'm going to make websites and stuff, (which I already do,... in my spare time) that look professional I'll need a skill like this for banners, buttons/ backgrounds...).

Mar you need to so one day help me with my banners and crap. they are just in black and white at one time in your life can you like teach me? ^_^ thankiez!!

well, it's all for fun.
so just play around in gimp.
and i'm sure you can find some tutorials on the inet.
srsly, there's tuts out there. you just need to go find them.

and i'm happy that i'm inspiring people to get some creativity out.

as an amateur GIMP-er myself, trust me:
it a hell of a lot more fun to just figure things out on your own.
but, tuts are available when you just cant figure something out
for instance: I [to this day -_-] cant figure out blending [kinda sorta makes the bg & image looke kinda blended together, hence the name] but I found a tut for it and it made it slightly easier to figure out.

as far as the banners go: Katie likes the middle one. (hinthint; pokes Tai)

playing around in things like GIMP is (of course) fun... but a big question I have is how did you make those backgrounds???

brushes.
just regular brushes w/ different colors.
and some playing about w/ filters.

i'm not rly the best, and i think that my bgs are just.... blah.


my old comp died, so i don't have my old brushes w/ me anymore. TT_TT
i hope to get them back soon, but i still need to buy some blank dvds (long story).

lol dont say bad things about your work cuz its amazing,... actually you could probably make money by doing stuff like that, i know that there are a lot of jobs available over the internet that involve logo, banner, and background creation for people who arent exactly creative or computer savy lol
