I was thinking of this for a while, and finally, I decided to have it.
I believe you guys are now used to me posting some of my art work. Now, as a change, I will be posting any banner I make in this thread. I am not professional, but consider myself a beginner, so alright.

Well, I will be updating it every time I make new one. If someone likes them and want to use them then you can, but give me credit (My gym's banners aren't allowed). If someone wants me to create a banner for him, then I am ready as well. I am looking for rating of the banners, even if it is criticizing. I really like to improve.

Note: I want to give credit to Obsidian Dawn, since I get some tools for GIMP from there.

Wow, some of those look awesome! A few complaints would be with the Victory Road one with the fire, and the lack of transparency on the fire (But we've already discussed that ). Also the Shinx family look a bit... I dunno, would washed be the word? But other than those two, I really like your banners, and you do a great job! I'd request one for my gym (Like a splash, like the third one), but I wouldn't know what to put on it. :3

Thanks. I will try to edit the fire later on.
Regarding your badge, do you want a rock slide scene with some rock Pokemon, or just like the third one? Some specifications or exact Pokemon will help.

Hrm... Could I get one like the third one, but with a cracked stone sort-of background? I've got no idea what the font would be... And for the Pokémon, could I have these three:
Tyranitar - on the left, taking up the whole side
Aerodactyl - Top right
Rhyperior - under Aerodactyl

Thanks!

I wanted the background to be full of dusty clouds, which it is, while fibers in the middle. To be honest, I had a better idea for the text, but I failed in doing it...

I think it's better if you swapped the pumpkin face's place with the hat. It will look better that way, in my opinion.

The thing is, I will have to redo everything again since I didn't save a GIMP format to edit it. I am stupid. I know.

Okay, another banner was made. It is in my signature right now. It is related to the Lebanese Independence Day, which is on the 22 of November.

I spent quite sometime in getting the 3D blood effect. I believe I still need more practice in order to get a more realistic blood. However, for now, I am quite satisfied.

Why would you write the name of your country in blood for its Independence Day? It seems like a gloomy celebration to me. =/

I like the blood effect in the sig and the avatar. It looks real in the flag. Does the blood symbolize something important?

Because the red portion of the Lebanese flag represents blood since the first time it was created. The three things Lebanese are always proud of are their blood, their mountains and snow, and the cedar tree.

I will try to make the blood effect in the signature better later on. The thing I like about it as the 3D effect I was able to create and the light. Some of the blood doesn't look that amusing though. I will try to improve it.

In the last week, I made a banner. Now the writing is in a different language, but I believe that you guys can still rate the design. Now of course, I did get help in making such a banner since I am a beginner.

That's a really nice banner. The colors are nicely done and the water looks real.

The fact is that I took a picture of a wave and then edited it to make half of it a fire. So yeah, the water was naturally real.

Two more banners I made. One of them is in another language, while the other one is related to Christmas and I am actually using it right now as my signature.

Here they are:

The first one is a bit too plain, and while the second one feels like it lacks something in the upper right corner, it still looks better than the first one.

Well, the first one was subjected to be nothing but rays of light overlapping each other. I also realized the plainness in the second one, but I couldn't find something to put.

EDIT:
What do you think of so?

That's a very nice addition. Perhaps another thing should be placed in the upper left corner to fill the space?

Well done! You've made your previously-plain-looking banner into a very nice one now.

Hey, Spirit, I'd like you to make a banner for my sprite shop for Newcomers. I want it to be the size of the banner I have now by SK, and here are some of the sprites I'd like to have on it.

And, uh.. thanks in advance.

That looks pretty good, actually. Minor suggestions, though:

- Pull the 'Ulgamandora' a little into the box from the upper right hand corner. It seems put outside more than needed.

- Add a word beside the red 'Gyaravire' to fill the small, empty space there, just to give it a perfect touch at the end.

It has been a long time, but I have got some sweet banners to add. Both of them are used in my signature, but just to add them to the list.

The first one is a banner that redirects any clicks to this thread. It turned out to be great, in my opinion. The design was a success. Despite the shortage of words, the font turned out great. It took me more than an hour.

This one wasn't hard. It is actually a simple banner that redirects to my Role-playing thread. The font took some time to be designed, but other than that, it was quite simple.
