Too much negative space for my tastes but otherwise cool
It's been awhile since I've completed a banner (although I have attempted many). I'm still a little shaky with the overall product, but the idea was asked for (though I don't remember by whom), so I proudly present a Mirai Nikki banner. It probably needs a lot of improvement, so if anyone thinks they can do something better, I can send the render to you. Feedback is also appreciated.
Kit seems to have disappeared... I don't see any of the more recent banners in the rotation! >_>
It's dangerous to go alone. Take Nep.
Somehow she doesn't look crazy enough. Any alternatives?
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Looks fine to me.
The point of that scene isn't to make her look outright crazy.

Well, that's what she says when she makes that pose in episode 1, so why wouldn't I?

As for my thoughts on the banner Alhuin, I quite like it. (I'm viewing it on very low brightness screen so the pic is darker) I think you use this 'cloud' effect way too much, though. I'd like to see something different?

I agree with Bill, whatever made that scene so memorable in the anime isn't there. If it isn't there, there's no point in using that as a render.
I'd scratch the project entirely if i was you.
Second link is 403 Sapphi.
I see what you all mean though... It was something I figured I'd try since I obtained the render. I knew it didn't look as "crazy" as the shot in the anime, but I contributed that to the atmosphere and the music.
As for the "cloud" effect... I understand what you're getting at, but it's not an intentional move for every piece. Most of the time, the background I use has fog in it, or is a space picture (viewing the atmosphere). Sometimes I still use sky backgrounds. I've tried using city backgrounds, but I haven't found the right render to compliment that. But anyways... it's not that I'm not trying something different, it's just the effect seems to present itself consistently.

Due to various circumstances, I'm the new Banner Bitch.
Now give me banners!

Start by removing the shitty ones.
Oh here we go with the rules. Fuck it, ain't worth the hassle.
As per IRC (re-iterated so everyone understands),
Buffalobiian: Yes, I'm going with the rules
Buffalobiian: nothing wrong with that
Buffalobiian: Lucifus can't pull down your banner just because he thinks it's shit, for example
Buffalobiian: if you put one up that wasn't complete, I'm happy to do it
Buffalobiian: if you want to pull down one of your own, so be it
Buffalobiian: if you want to pull down someone else's, you'd better have a darn good reason besides simply not liking it

Pull down all the Fate Stay Night fanservice bullshit. And try keeping them to mainstream anime, now we have 459 banners of random girls I've never heard of or seen. Its sad.
Why do we need to keep it mainstream? Most mainstream stuff sucks.
Peace.
New banner for Jormungand.

It is intentionally minimalist.
Peace.
