New Year holidays Banner Competition

[fireg]

One more from me. It's Lain on enginarc's background.



She doesn's seem too happy being a banner, though.

@fireg: This time you have picked a very good source for your character The previous one was a little too bright and lacked contrast imo. Consider replacing the some of the snowflakes with Serial Exp. Lain related elements, keep a red background, you can create a very good banner imo.

@shabutie: I should have decreased the density of snow in the first place. Thanks for the comment.



beloved Yui and Mio from K-ON!

Snow effects are very nice imo, but they are hard to do by hand.

Here is another template, Red Banner Template v2

And here is how the empty template looks


Note: There are two snow layers, one for the background and another to be put on the character. "Release the clipping mask" to use in on another character.

@scotsman: You beat me to it with that Sekirei banner .  Also, that's Musubi next to Tsukiumi, not Minato...

Could use a bit more work, try a diff. background, perhaps a message.

Thought i'd do another.

Feedback please.   

Make a better cutout, try adding a glow, try with a diff. background as well

P.S Don't overuse enginarcs templates (as much as we want to keep some consistency we don't want 1 banner type with characters changed), and try to make something unique when you do use it.
P.P.S. o.o psy (at least I think that's him) and me somehow got on a BoxtorrentsakaBT banner

[fireg]

Hi again.
enginarc , thanks for the kind words.
I followed your advice and added wires as a background. Here are 3 versions:
No snow:

Light snow:

Blizzard :

I think the second one is good.

PS: Have a nice weekend everyone

Oh enginarc, you've hit a gem here. Why? Because this actually isn't Kagami. It's Watarase Jun. Duki's fantasies have been ruined

[Duki3003]

It was a trap D:

Very-very impressive collection. Some Photoshop wizards among us in the community. Just a general impression: I was a bit confused to see a lot of people using sad/generic character images. It's a party! It's the New Year! Christmas! Character is the most important part of a banner, not the background or effects. So try to match it to the competition theme rather than to the template you managed to create. Still a lot of very impressive works from too many people to list.

I agree, members have responded to Duki's call with some very very nice banners. Since the announcement, many people have contributed with their time encouraging others to better themselves as well.

Personally, what I would like to see is that BakaBT is not just about ratios, uploads or downloads, and I am glad to see it one more time. At the very end, believe me, it is notoriously difficult to gather this many nice people around the world together in one place. Simply someone who is addicted to anime can hardly be an a**hole

Now after this little speech of mine, I would appreciate if you could participate with a banner you had in mind. We still have 10 days

Please,let me continue it.I would love to make these awesome things too.I will try to learn Photoshop in this winter vacation(and if some of you can teach me,I mean,human-human learning is better than human-video/text)and hopefully I will do at least one 'till the deadline.
Well,sincerely,if not for this great community,I would've probably given up with this torrent site.I simply love BBT.The anime watcher not being an ass is pure genius.

Been playing some more with my previous submissions, so here they are again. ^_^

I made Fay stand out a bit more, brought more of his staff into the picture and fixed the spot on mokona's head, so it is red now, like it should be. I could flip Fay to the left of the text, but I kind of prefer him looking towards mokona...



Characters: Mokona Modoki and Fay D. Flourite
Anime: Tsubasa Chronicle
AniDB: http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=2733

and for my second banner, I changed out screen shots of Rayne and added Angelique to it...



Characters: Rayne and Angelique
Anime: Neo Angelique ~Abyss~
AniDB: http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=5623

i could probably try this one on the red bg as well...

any thoughts or suggestions for further improvements?
Thanks!

The text is really hard to read

No one else brought this up and I found it a bit funny considering it's on the homepage for bakabt.



Thats why I don't like photobucket hosted images. Stupid error images, expecially in archived threads or high profile pages.

Sorry I don't have anything to contribute to the banner thread, I'm not really graphical editing inclined other then the basics.

I share the feeling, fixed now - changed it to imageshack...
