Signature Banners
I've been (attempting!) graphic design for at least four years now. Most of my stuff are signature banners for forums, though I have designed other things, such as this website. I use Paint Shop Pro 8, and Animation Shop 3.
I would like to stress that I do not own the rights for any stock used, and no copyright infringement is intended! Everything has been made purely for practising my skills and not for commercial use.
This is a character banner for my character on a Japanese School RP forum. I'm really pleased with this signature, as the colours and images seem to work well together. I think I could have done better rendering the image on the left hand side, but I can always improve ^^ Model: Matsumoto Jun
Practising the use of brushes to get background effects. Anime: Junjou Romantica
More yaoi!!! This time in the form of Gintoki and Toshi from Gintama (and yes, I know this is just wishful thinking, but a girl can wish, right?)
A forum set for my character Faye Gwynne. I really loved making this set, as it is very simple. Not a lot of editting was used, just an overlayed pale blue-grey layer and a little bit of rendering. I really like how this turned out! Model: HannaBeth Merjos.
My first attempts at blending the character into the background more. This is Asuka Shinn from Gundam Seed. The stock was extracted by my goo friend Alex =)
I found this amazing image I think on google images and as I had just gotten hold of some gothic style brushes, I thought I would try and make something with the two.
Entered into a contest on AnimeLeague based on the game Red Dead Redemption. The text is a quote from the game (or so I'm told! I've never actually played it myself). And did I win? YES!!
Another lovely image I found on google images. The text is lyrics from a Kid Rock song, Cold and Empty.
After going through a stint of doing nothing but pastel colours, I really wanted to try something bold and grungey.
Another try at something bold. This time using the character Lavi from the anime D. Grey Man.
