Holiday Banners Competition '11

[Soulreaper77]

Okay, here goes nothing.

This is from Gedo Senki (AniDB link) (by Goro Miyazaki / Ghibli), and the character stretching his arms up is Prince Aren (I must admit, I don't remember the name of the dragon.)

I've made sure the RSS button and search field will fit on top of this. | TrackerProf.

This is better suited in the main banner competition not the holiday competition.

I like the confetti and everything but I can't help but laugh at how retarded Yui and Mugi look in this picture

That was the first thing I thought also. They look like they are short bus occupants in that pic.
The confetti is kinda neat and I like the colors, but damn do those chars look retarded.

I'am very happy to have critic from professional masters <3

But it still makes me  :'(

What, specifically, is the source of this retardation you speak of. Is it the the eyes, the mouths, the fingers, the general posture of the characters...? What?
I fear I've put too much time and effort into this for it not to be taken seriously; all comments welcome.

It's the expressions they're making, Mio and Ritsu are more or less ok, but Yui and Mugi are exceptionally bad...
Mugi seems like she's about to start drooling from mouth any second.

Its a nice banner, I can tell you spent a bit of time. Really tho, look at those chars. Can you honestly say they dont seem like they should be wearing helmets?
Its a nice idea but find a different render.

I am taking it seriously. I just personally disapprove. The idea is not bad, but use different char pics.

Also, fix the "ae" in year.

* Pants is sad.

The original image is here.
The render... is all mine...

And it isn't that I think you aren't taking me seriously, it's just that I've spent too much time on it to see it clearly anymore.
So, when you say 'stupid expression' my response is "Well, duh. They're kinda like that in the show" but beyond that, I... I can't see it...

Also, I didn't know you could '/me' here.

[edit]@Soryon: 'ae'? wut?[/edit]

Click in the address bar and press enter to see it. You can't hotlink from Danbooru, that's why.

But to offer some consolation to Pants, Yui has the same kind of expression on the cover of the first volume of the manga. So it's not like that only you didn't see it.

And to ^ ... you shouldn't offer banners with renders that have cut off edges.

I did have some healthy critism from my last works so I try to improve my skills, so again every comment is wellcome, yeah sorry about this shitty english of mine.

anime: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, characters: Satoko, Rena, Rika (from left to right)

[K7IA]

@Pants, no need to be sad We acknowledged that you have put great effort in what you do and you are good at it.

Can you make new banners? If you are short of material, you should browse e-shuushuu.net, animepaper.net or zerochan.net

or if you want, I can send you some images, it seems I have acquired enough material to make 180+ banners

there is still plenty of time.

Point taken. But I need to work more on it, now that I've seen how good the other submissions are. Damn, people in here have some mad Photoshop skillz!

[Jehabi]

Tell me is this more eye rape or less? 

Shion, from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni 

[Havoc10K]

less, but not really in the mood of upcoming events I think.

[Southrop]

Why the hell are you so intent on using those ugly effects? Why can't you submit a more normal banner like everyone else?
