I know how Neo Pikachu makes his fragmentation banner

I'll still have to give it a try myself, but I'll post the result here

3 people can request a fragmentation banner from me ( pm them to me, do not post in my shop ). It could take a while before you get them and they might not be 100% like I like it, but I have to make some banners for practice anyway, so might as well make it for some people

Fragmentation's dont look to hard to make
(You gotta have some style to give it a cool form of Fragmentation though),

although i noticed some Gimp things in your banners..
You only use Gimp? or do you combine it with uhm.. photoshop for example.

EDIT: Apologies, I meant Neo Pikachu with the fragmentation banner.
not blackacer since it is not his work haha

But then if u ask me mine is more of a peaceful like since i uses colours of rainbow. Neo pikachu uses war colours which im bad with colours.
I'm sure Northern Lights could do better.

NL is awesome. _Mew, could we apologize to each other and stop this stupidness?

Who made your banner? now I am little confused.

I would like some c+c on

Also, I recommend http://guildinn.com/forum for good tutorials and resources.

The DRAGONUSER banner is i made.
The one in my signature is made by neo pika

Audinohunter: I really like the banner and especially the background. I like the use of C4Ds in the banner. But I think it could use a white border.

I have read the SPPf rules and club rules and will always obey them. Remembering If I break one, I will recieve a strike.

If you make banners, what is your favourite style (Grunge, smudge, etc): Hmm I think Smudge.
What do you like to make best: Well Banners since I can use my creativity the most.

Well Mew_ told me that I maybe could get some tips or help here. (If needed ofcourse). And that's it for now.

 

[arceusvictini]

Hi Dragonitor! Long time no see! Anyway, how do you do your awesome colour/fire banners?

 

[Cassiopeia]

Fragmentation banners are basically rectangle banners with random vector cutouts and an inner shadow/glow layer style.

 

[Blackacer]

Nah why not u try and do them.

 

[arceusvictini]

Nah why not u try and do them.

Trust me she WILL do them (unless GIMP can't)

i've been making banners since...ever. of course they started as simple paint banners, then i went from PSP, to PS which i have been using ever since. should really get a new photoshop, i'm still using 7

i also make blinkies and icons and glitter text (not sure if glitter text counts). i've been making blinkies/glitters for like, 3 weeks. xD; they're ridiculously easy to make, just very time consuming to get every detail right.

if you'd like to see some examples..here they are. i want to improve because my styles are so outdated and simple, now there's C4D and stuff and i'd really like to learn how to incorporate that into my graphics.

Spoiler: examples

blinkies:

^ the text looks so different because i would use Redensek(fluttershy) and then i just started to pixel the text myself (Tyrants)

banners:

glitter text:

and an icon:

Shes using the long , messy method. Try thinking out of the box u'll figure out i do it.

 

[arceusvictini]

Polygonal Lasso+adding the effects in blending options isn't hard!

 

[Sweet May]

Whoa so many people! Even the pros are here. :0 -waves to NL, pupin, Crickee and AudinoHunter-

Any way some topics before I try to make graphics to show you guys:
If you make banners, what is your favourite style (Grunge, smudge, etc): Okay I don't make these sort of banners, actually I don't even know what the style of MY works are, but I really love those grungy signature ones.
What do you like to make best: Uh... banners? Wallpapers too since they give you a big canvas to work on. c:

 

[Blackacer]

Hey there sweet may
Good to have u here lol
Anyway any ideas i can improve my banner / arts?

 

[millarc3005]

Yes, I can tell this is gonna be a great club for art resources. Oh and sorry Blackacer but one of your posts was only 21 letters long. You recieve a warning.

Oh and welcome to the new members. Have fun!

Does anyone know how to make a really grungy signature background like Neo Pikachus?

 

[PrismaticPrincessAnna]

Welcome, Im adding a tutorial bit and paintbrush sets section, you'll find them on the front page.

I dont think I'll need one coz I go to an artschool
We learn stuff about art programs like Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign..and Blender
But I'll get better in my own way, nya~
