    But the over-contrast is what i love about that look

    And blurring effects don't sit too well with our fellow admin complich

    true...

    well..

    the white lines on his left are out of place cause nothing else is that bright. not saying to take it to the other extreme of it being dull, but find a nice middle ground.

    just some ideas, if you disagree thats cool too its your shit :P

    Ehh, I'm not like adamantly opposed to blurring effects. I just think that it sucks to overuse them.

    I made modifications to both them



    Made the contrast softer

    Eliminated that excess lighting on the left

    Positioned the text a bit more to the left



    Changed the text

    Made the blood and his eyes more realistic, thereby delivering more focus to them

    Made the scanlines a bit more transparent as to make the overall banner look more "clean"

    Changed the lighting in the background to increase the contrast between the black and the white

    The death the kid one is really good. Just lessen the contrast on kid's face a bit. I kind of cant see his face clearly anymore.

    I'll see if I can take up any of those requests today. Been rather busy with web development.

    I love it. Great job, especially on how you managed to get the best out of the comments.

    I don't like the white border around the character, but I like the banner.

    The white line around him looks alot better when the banner is in a dark background and you can see the white border around it

    First, if your banner was overlooked simply repost it and ask for opinions again. Second, I have no clue why it's not usable (the second one), I haven't seen anyone mention that it isn't, so it may be all in your head. Comp is probably the only guy that can tell you what's good or no good to be added, and since he isn't frequenting the forum as much as he used to you simply have to sit tight and hope he comes around and notices.

    Here's his response from your first banner, apply as necessary to what you did to your second one:

    Kagemane_no_Jutsu: Interesting, but yer doin it wrong. Matching the borders is a requirement. The diagonal pinstripe thing ... maybe not so much, I dunno.

    I say leave it. I love clean images like that, and the color at the end keeps it from being like a photograph taken in B&W only because people think it makes it more "artsy."

    The colored logo makes it more like an exclamation point if that makes any sense at all.

    Also do I sense the second coming of Lucifus in you Archie?, you've been doing a lot of photoshopping lately.
