...my very first (and probably last) banner ever...

[Kryptonite]

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c234/shanshuvampangel/cangelbanner.gif


i really want 100% honest opinions......this was totally an experiment and i dont plan on doing it again...just want to know what anyone thinks

[VisionGuy]

I love it. Like I said before, Cangel is my favorite ship so of course I'm going to love it. You should do more stuff like this. I think it would be a good idea for you to keep making more banners if you want.

[XDruX]

Very nice banner!!! Keep up the vgood work !!!!!!!

[Jenny]

Awwww *sniff* sooo purty!!! :)

[SpikedBuffy]

Keep it up! I like how you can see a shadowy "Cangel" in the background...that shows your experimenting with trying all that cool stuff in banners.

You are doing fine. Just don't give up!

[Eliza121]

Wow its much better than my first banner! :) Its very preety, maybe try some feathering to blend the pictures to make them look not so cut out. I do like the font! BTW what prgram do you use?

[Kryptonite]

lol...you're gonna be the ARE YOU CRAZY!?!?! because its not exaclty the best....................................Microsoft Photo Editor..................but i decided that if i wanted to keep doing it, i would have my dad get me a better program for it

[Summers Blood]

Okay I really like the middle picture and the text and I love how you've made the Cangel pictures in the background all blurry but I don't like the pics on the left and right as I can't see them very well. You said to be honest, so there is my honest answer. It's good and it's ten times better than my first ever banners. I only had paint to use in those days!!! :rose2:

[Eliza121]

lol...you're gonna be the ARE YOU CRAZY!?!?! because its not exaclty the best....................................Microsoft Photo Editor..................but i decided that if i wanted to keep doing it, i would have my dad get me a better program for it

Lol am I going ARE YOU CRAZY!?!?!, No lol, Funny enough I started on microsoft editor, but the I created more and went on to adobe and then PSP, but yeah if your really into designing the stuff a better program is a good idea :)

[SpikedBuffy]

I think you're doing good with what you got... I honestly didn't even know you could blend photos together in Microsoft Photo Editor. So, you're one step ahead there!

[Kryptonite]

wow, thanks. i really appreciate everyone's comments

[Wesley_Wyndam_P]

Its good. I'm not famiallar with that program tho. But its still good.

(hey whos in the lead now?)

[Kryptonite]

ok ok ok so i lied...i had to try more....i know i have some major blending work i still have to do but what do you think of these:

[Black Eye Guy]

Very Nice, I'm glad you decided to try more, I LOVE the 'Into every Generation' One, It's so cool, very classy!! Keep up the good work! :)

[Wesley_Wyndam_P]

hey, more banners that i didn't get to see. they are really good. and you did a Bangel? i'm extremely surpised that you did a bangel.

but like i was saying, its really good. I agree with BEG, the Into every generation one is really cool. its simple and it looks amazing. great job

[Angels baby101]

They all look great. I love the bangel one :) lol

[Lyri]

yeah, i agree with Wes, i'm surprised you did a Bangel too! but i think they're very good. i really like that quote you used 'until the world caves in' and the pics for that one are great. and i really liked the feeling of the 'into every generation' one.
great job, Akasha!

[VisionGuy]

I love all the banners even the *gulp* Bangel one. Whew, that was hard for me to say. Seriously, I really like them. The Joan one is my favorite. It is LOL funny.

[NIX]

i adore the buffy moon banner :)

keep at it with your ideas for the first banner, maybe some bordering - ??

[Kryptonite]

*sigh* i deleted the akasha one. really didnt like it...and i've made some more

[Wesley_Wyndam_P]

oh wow, your cordy banner is really good. great job. the rest are cool too. but the cordy is just really good.

[Summers Blood]

Wow there are some good baners here! Love the Cordy and the Joan's the boss banner. Cool stuff.

[VisionGuy]

I LOVE the Cordy banner so much. I also like the Spuffy one. Great work Akasha :D

[arabella]

love the joan one, the moon one and til the world cave in! great job!! eres la reina!

[Angels baby101]

They are getting alot better, I love the Cordy one :)

[Lyri]

i like the Spuffy one...of course!
great job, Akasha!

[Willow2508]

I love all your banners, there are really nice, i really like the evil willow one. They are all really good. :)

Very nice syuff, I really like the Second Eliza one and the Slayer Banner!

[Kryptonite]

here's a couple of holiday themed ones:

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f94/akasha_sxe/halloweenbanner.jpg

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f94/akasha_sxe/charisma_valentinesbanner.jpg

[+ Matt +]

I really like the Valentine's day banner :) However I'm not too fussed on the Halloween one. I think you could have a more suiting font, and the background looks a little rushed.

I like your work though all the same...

[BillieHunter]

I'm liking the valentines one....great job!
And w00t...another fellow i started with a terrible program person! I started with Microsoft Picture It...which i aptly renamed Microsoft Picture S**t...im sure you can figure out the last word...then i moved on to PSP, and i finally talked my dad into Photoshop not to long ago...which he almost had a heart attack when he learned about the price...

[Kryptonite]

lol luckily my dad gives into my new phases without much hassle. granted, i hope this "phase" lasts past high school. i'd love to go into graphic design and websiting :)

[Wesley_Wyndam_P]

Since Akasha's account was lost and she doesn't have the 15 posts on her new one to posts urls she asked me to post it for her. so her they are.

[Kendall Hart]

Never give up on something your really good at. The art of graphic making is definately one of your talents, keep up the wonderful work and never surrender.

[Lyri]

love the Serenity ones, sweetie...especially the first one. that is one of my fave quotes from the movie!

[Kryptonite]

[Wanabee-slayer]

Cool work!!!!!!!!!!!

[Angels baby101]

All of it looks great hun :) love the Fangel wallpaper

[~angelic slayer~]

Great work hun! My faves are probably the Wes/Fred and Sarah Michelle banners; the faded out effect you used w/f one, in addition to the screencaps work well together, and the SMG one is just simple enough, not too much, not too little- so nice balance there. Can't wait to see more :)

[Black Eye Guy]

I love the wallpapers! Michelle's eyes look deadly in the first one, and the Fangel one is just plain cool!!

[Kryptonite]

[I love Eliza Dushku]

You make great art. I love the Fangel.

[Wanabee-slayer]

I love the Buffy one it is truly amazing I'm falling in love with that banner lol! Chick fights are the best!

[~angelic slayer~]

WOW! Okay, Katie's officially blown away! So many banners, so little time to talk about 'em!

So main points....

(1) LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOOOOOVE that "Not Fade Away" Banner! It captures all the main characters in an effective way that works with the feel of the episode itself, and the overlay adds a nice finishing touch (especially since it was the finale, it works real well). :D

(2) Also like the Illyria banner, especially how you added in the eyes, I didn't notice them at first, but it made me do a double take and look again; very cool.

(3) The Buffy "One Girl" Banner, very nice, pretty and the colours/text compliment each other nicely.

(4) REALLY like the first Lockely banner, it's beautiful, it really is, the light just makes it almost dream-like, one of my faves! :)

(5) Also liked the first Wesley "superman" banner, I personally wouldn't have thought to tying a quote like that to those images, but you did it nicely and it really does capture another side to the character (dangerous/ maybe a little crazy side ;)). I like the second one as well, just the red text, I think, makes it a bit too much. But still, nice banner! :thumbsup:

The only tip I would have for you is to watch your text. It's something I noticed especially on the Lockely 1&2 banners, I love the font, it's just I found the "crispy" edges a bit distracting myself (that's just me though, and I still adore the banners!) :) But regardless, great work! Keep it up! :bounce:

[edb]

Great job on the banners! :D They all look great sweetie! I like your Fangel wall too! :)

~angelic slayer~ gave you a good tip about the text...if you use Photoshop or Paintshop you might try putting the text on 'Sharp' in PS or check the Anti-Alias setting in Paintshop - that may be why your text is looking sort of broken round the edges. ;) Not sure how you would adjust it in other programs though...

[xXPippaXx]

Wow, hun lovely work! =] I love the effects and all on the last banner - Superbowl one. Keep the good work up!

[Summers Blood]

I really like the Lockley banners. I think they are really light and that's what I like the most.

I love the Wesley and Akasha (Queen of the Damned) banner it's so funny and it's a ship I really could see actually... until she ripped his heart out!

[Kendall Hart]

I really love the sig you have with Akasha and Wes,its quite a crossover and yet I'm loving it:)^_^.

I love em! especially the Cordy one and the Bangel one is amazing, Its very soft and light!

[Kryptonite]

and just made one more for my after-darkness RPG:

[zombie.apparatus]

wow... hun.. you are getting better by the banner.. and yes i love the banner made for me thanks so much!!! *hugs*

[Black Eye Guy]

I love that last one, of Cordy, It looks amazing!

[BillieHunter]

the cordy one looks great! You can really see your improvement even in each successive banner...keep it up, they look great!

[PrincessZombie]

The Cordelia banner is awesome! I absolutely love the pictures you used. :)

[Wanabee-slayer]

I love the superchick banner it gave me hope when I first saw it sweetie it's amazing!

[CrazyMary]

the charisma banner is awesome!!!

[~angelic slayer~]

Love the new stuff hon! The Cordy Chase one is really beautiful, between the photos (which all match very nicely) and the effects you put on it, makes it almost dream-like. And I LOOOOOOOOOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the banner you did for charmed slayer, it's just woooow! It's gorgeous! :bounce:

[Kryptonite]

A new wallpaper i just made:

[edb]

Really lovin' the latest work, the blending on the CC banner is great, and I also really love the Surpise banner too; you also did a great job on the SMG wallpaper! :D

[Lyri]

WOW! i am LOVING that Charisma banner...this is def my fave of everything you've done. Oh, and the Michelle T banner you were sporting a while ago, those are beautiul!

[CrazyMary]

Your SMG wall is splendid...really beautiful!

[Angels baby101]

Love the SMG wall it looks amazing hun :D

[Wanabee-slayer]

Wow the Sarah wall is so elegant I love the lighting!

[Kendall Hart]

I am totally digging the Charisma one. Shes so beautiful and she just simply shines in pictures:)

[~angelic slayer~]

Wow! Amazing SMG wallpaper hun! The two pictures compliment each other nicely, and the "spots" give it an almost dream-like effect. Also like how one picture is larger and faded, while the other is smaller but the colours are more profound, it's an awesome feature to do, especially on wallpapers it's really effective. And the text (which looks great with the alternating sizes) tops it all off nicely. Tres super, hope to see more soon! :) :thumbs:

[Kryptonite]

[Wanabee-slayer]

Amazing work!!!! the effects used on the first two are superb!

[edb]

Those are all excellent but I have to say my faves are the top 2. I really love the effects & textures on them, plus the colouring and text go with them really well too! :D

[Summers Blood]

I like the first one the most. The pictures of Willow and Giles that you have used are really nice, and you've also used some powerful text.

[Kryptonite]

i guess since my official name is back, i should update, right? i dont do much whedonverse art anymore, im hooked on supernatural and heroes but i have a few from a little while ago:

that Cangel banner is beautiful. i love the colours and the blending.

[RockManic]

Wow, you are really good at this. The Drusilla one is very cool. :)

[evo]

Very sweet the last one

[Angels baby101]

hate cangel but love the blending and colors

[RockManic]

oh thanks. is this the first time you've looked at my thread? cuz i dont think you've posted here...but thanks, your opinion means a lot :)

Yeah, I think that was the first time I checked this thread out. To be honest I don't look at many of the fanart threads. Mainly because I get really jealous of how good you lot all are at something that I can't do at all, hehe.

Again though, your work is excellent. I'll have to get you to do me a Pearl Jam or Evanescence banner sometime. ;)

[Kryptonite]

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f94/akasha_sxe/alwayscordyconnorbanner_010807.jpg

i thought i liked it pretty well but now im not so sure. it (like usual) looked better in my head

[RockManic]

Looks good to me. So how long does it take you for each one of these?

[Kryptonite]

depends on what else im doing, how much i like or dont like what ive already done and, if someone is requesting certain things, depends on what they want. usually not longer than like 15 or 20 minutes at the most. heres one i just made for Botd:

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f94/akasha_sxe/amyleebanner_010807.jpg

[RockManic]

Okay, Amy Lee automatically makes that one my favourite, obviously. ;)

[Angel's vision]

I'm liking your new stuff obvioulsy the cangel one is beautiful

[Angels baby101]

Love the new banners both are very well made i like the amy lee one best

[edb]

I must of missed this thread yesterday...sorry!

Your banners are all great though, you pick really nice scenes/images to use! The Amy Lee banner I've seen in BOTD sig around the boards, and thought then it looked great! :D

[zombie.apparatus]

loving the newest stuff! very talented i must say :D x

[Kryptonite]

ok, its be a looong time since ive updated. i really dont do a lot of whedonverse art anymore but here's some:

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f94/akasha_sxe/angellifehouse_031207.jpg


i did this wallpaper for the 10th anniversary but i dont really think i like it. its missing too many elements that made buffy the way it is (e.g Faith, Dawn, Bangel, etc):

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f94/akasha_sxe/10yearwallpaper_030207.jpg

[Angels baby101]

Love the Prepare me wall :)

[Cluster]

Nice wallpaper, great idea to.

[evo]

Awww the wallpaper is great!... sad moments and the good all wrapped up in one.

[Kryptonite]

ok, so i was going to join one of the other art challenges with this piece but then i went back after i did it and re-read the rules and this one uses photoshoot pics, which i wasnt supposed to use, so i guess i'll just post it here :) :

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f94/akasha_sxe/wallpaper_060907.jpg

plus these are some banners i made for another competition. its basically the only buffyverse artwork i do right now. im on a Heroes binge:

nearly all of my art lately has been related to Twilight so you can see it at my after-darkness gallery (http://after-darkness.com/showthread.php?t=1103&page=8).

[Kryptonite]

I just made this for a graphic challenge, only to realize I didn't do it right. So, here - its not anything specific:

[Wanabee-slayer]

Love all the new stuff!!!!!

[spuffy]

The textures are amazing! Good job!

[Angel's vision]

Great wrok there as always..

[Kryptonite]

The textures are amazing! Good job!

a couple of the textures i used were from edb's site (http://sarrand.net) which i recommend for any fanartist.

I save so many textures from her site I just didn't recognize this one, it's on my favourite website list!
Looking forward for more of your art!

[VisionGuy]

Your stuff is really good. I like all your Cangel artwork. Keep it up. :)

[Kryptonite]

Lol - thanks guys.

Here's another one that I made for a challenge, and -yet again- didn't read the rules properly:

[Wanabee-slayer]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!! BANGEL!! LOL! It's brilliant!

[~angelic slayer~]

What WS said times a zillion!!!! I almost cried when I saw this!! Really great "photo album?" effect going on and the texture makes it all blend. But I didn't even realize it at first, how many episodes you took your pictures from. VERY well done! Kinda tear-out-your-hearting, but all the same, awesome!

:thumbs:

[spuffy]

Good job on that bangel piece (Would've liked it more if it was spuffy) lol just kidding.

[Kryptonite]

I've been all over some SMG photoshoots so I've made a few peices. The wallpapers are pretty simple but I like them ok:

[GATEGOD]

They are Beautiful ^_^ Last one I like the most ^_^

[Angel's vision]

Last and first are my favs, brilliant!

[spuffy]

Cool stuff! I really like these! keep up!

[JCC]

This is quite honestly the most astounding artistic development I've ever seen, and shows the positive power of encouragement. Compare your first banners to what you're doing now, which is leaps and bounds above what I can do.

This thread is inspirational.

[edb]

I somehow missed your latest pieces...shame on me!

I absolutely adore the dark SMG wall, it's simply beautiful. I love that you've used very little colour, except for her photos, it's really elegant! :)

Some gorgeous work all round hon! :thumbsup:

[Kryptonite]

SMG from a newer photoshoot:

[palabravampiress]

I just wanted to pop in and say congrats. You're really improving by leaps and bounds.

[Angel's vision]

Wow that is very inspirational and just simply great!

[palabravampiress]

[QUOTE[Kryptonite agrees: I learned from EDB's website: Impulsive: Version____Michelle Trachtenburg (http://impulsive.sarrand.net/colourise_tut.php)[/QUOTE]

Thanks!

I use GIMP, but I looked at the tut and I should be able to apply the same technique to that program.

Again, great job.

[alexa]

wow your work is great. :)
I love the way you use light especially, very rare to see someone so extreme and successful.

[edb]

Love, love LOVE the light SMG piece, it's very effective and goes to show you don't need to use all of the canvas to create art. :D The darker piece is also fab too, love the colours you've used, they go so well with the images of her! :D

[Angels baby101]

I absolutely LOVE the dark Sarah Piece its freaking awesome :D

[Kryptonite]

*picks up thread and blows off dust*

I used this as my submission for the BB art classes.

[scobro]

[bloody pet]

[palabravampiress]

Quitting is for quitters. You should keep going!

[Kryptonite]

Oh, and thank you for your comments :)
