I think they are beautiful!! My only tip would be, if you're making them for sigs, is to make them smaller. I know you can just resize it, but at first glance big banners tend to scare people away!

Alarien, those are awesome!

I agree with you, playing around with the font blending options. I so rarely use solid colours anymore. I like the subtle mosaic pattern for the first one, and the half-tone/dotted pattern effect is also a favourite of mine.

Yay! Thank you! Your siggy banner isn't bad either!

wow Lucy Took they're really nice, the top one is really good, well done!

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. - Psalm 23

EDIT:
Ok so I made all those banners a long time ago, and I've gotten a lot better at making stuff so you can request things and I'm better at making avatars than banners. I'll post a few of my best avatars so you all can see some...

Most of these avatars are coincidentally from a show called Avatar

Ok... a little more than a few

and these ones aren't the right size for use in the CoE forum, so if you see one you want in 60x60, PM me.

Some new Spirited Away avatars:

For all my avatars, please go here http://s219.photobucket.com/albums/cc318/frodofan14/100x100/?start=all

I've been working on some banners for a while now, sooo.... just thought I'd post them....

Requested (please don't use....)

And then I made some random Heroes ones:

Hey Eruce, I checked out your graphics site. It's awesome!! I love the work that you've done. I noticed graphics on there that aren't listed in this thread and I was wondering if some of those on your graphics site might be available. It's no problem if they're not, I was just wondering.

yes ma'am. Though most of those banners on there are too big to use on here, however, if there is one you really like, I can attempt to recreate it.

There are some on there that are the correct size for COE, I think most of those are free... if you want you can comment on which one and i will check.

and thank you, for your compliments.

I can't figure out how to comment argh... The one I really like is the "Galadriel - will you look into the mirror". If that one isn't the right size or wouldn't work that's fine. I just love it!

Hi there!
I just thought I would post what I have made. I know a lot are similar variations of eachother, but I couldnt decide on one way, so I thought I would show you them all. I hope you like them!

by the way, everyone is welcome to use any of them, and if you have any requests, I love taking requests!

AVs (60x60):

Banners:

I also ended up making a few Doctor Who AVs.

I've been working with graphics for a couple months now and have posted a good bit of stuff in my Realm, but here's where you can see/get siggies, avis, and some other random stuff I've made. There are LotR, Star Wars, and Doctor Who pics, plus some Narnia and Sherlock Holmes ones are in the works. The avatars are 100x100, but if you want to use one here on CoE let me know and I'll resize it to 60x60. I take requests, too, so tell me if you want a banner.

NOTE: If you want to use one of the banners I've posted, go ahead and upload it to Photobucket or whatever site you use, or I can post the image code for you.

I was bored today and made a few more banners:

Oh, another way to get the link for my banners is:
Rightclick image
Click "copy image URL"
Paste the URL into your signature
Add image tags - they look like this, without the *; [img*]URLgoeshere[/img*]

And there you are!

This is some of my newer stuff, for a sample of my work. A smaaaall sample.

Of course I can make things sized specifically for this forum, I have done so in the past.

I do take graphic requests!

Erucenindë, I've always loved your graphics - they are so awesome!

My blog ensanguining the skies. how heavily it dies. into the west away; past touch and sight and sound. not further to be found, how hopeless under ground. falls the remorseful day.
