Well, lookee here!

It's my first banner... :\ So I'm a little hand-wring-y over posting it. Though, really, I kind of like it and may shrink it down for a friends only image.

Love it? Hate it? Tips and ideas SO VERY welcome. I'm not used to sticking people into images they were never in in the first place.



Well? Aaaand, I just realized I screwed up Buffy's hair a little. Shoot. And that layer is lost to the whims of my image flattening. :< Oh well, it's a tiny thing, and not the worst thing ever.

Also, and totally unrelated, LOST is the best thing in the history of things. I'm just sayin'.

I think it looks great! I'm shocked that it's your first banner, it's very well done. My first graphical attempts were not nearly as successful!

The only suggestion I'd have is to perhaps play around with the brightness/contrast on the Buffy layer - in comparison to Spike her colouring looks slightly flat.

Thank you for the advice! I can't believe I was so stupid as to not save the whole thing as a .psd before I flattened it and lost the history. So Buffy's just going to have to stay flat. :\ I'll have to see if I can cheat and put her back in as another layer. Hmm. Another lesson learned. :D I have a strong suspicion that getting coloring and contrast of different subjects to match is going to be what I struggle with the most.

I'd never progressed past cropping and resizing an image any other time before. It just seemed so DAUNTING, so I'd end up doing more cropping and resizing and making an icon instead. heh. Hearing that you think it looks good makes me smile like this--> :D
