I like them a lot, all the bending and lighting is awesome :D Only thing you might want to work on is text ^_^ There are some that the text could REALLY use a make-over haha

But overall I like them !

Oooh, those banners are cool. Especially the Bleach ones.

One thing I would improve is what text you use, as some of them are quite hard to read.

Also, what program do you use?

I'm using Photoshop CS5.1 Extended Edition.

I find that with most of your banners they're overworked. You add so many effects or try to edit the images so much that in the end it nearly looks garish.
The Ulquoirra banner is probably your best as it's the only one with sharp, clean focus on the render and good colour scheme, and that's because the original image had good contrast to begin with.

For the moment I would say avoid using text for the time being, and work on your image manipulation. Try not to oversaturate or change the saturation/hue on your images so much. The Unohana one would have been really nice if you hadn't have overworked the image so that it went incredibly pixelly, and you could have thought about better placement of the Unohana image, imo.

After that, you could try using the curve tool to increase contrast and red/green/blue inputs in images. THEN, work on the text. Perfectly decent banners can be ruined if the text isn't done well.

This may seem quite harsh, but if you really want to improve you've got some work to do.

Newly made banner!

at least you aren't over saturating like you were in your other banners.

however, take the hint. not every banner needs text. my typography may not be that great, but i do know that many of the fonts you choose for your banners are tacky, and almost illegible. like the one in your signature for example; i would've never have guessed the text said 'hatsune miku', but since i have a basic background about the whole vocaloid fandom it wasn't hard to decipher.

and your rayquaza banner REALLY would've looked nice if you hadn't used that font, or made it blue.

but you do make very nice banners, you just butcher them with unnecessary text/bad fonts.

It's a pity there's only one Pokemon banner :/

The subtext is un-needed, IMO

It really annoys me how the upper left corner is black and the rest of the BG is smudged xD

Well, overall, your text needs work but the effects/textures you use are great if you don't use them too much ^_^
