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'.

Oh, That's Gorgeous!

I don't see anything wrong with Buffy's hair, I think it looks great.

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.

I saw this last night and was too tired to comment. I comment now!

Kristi! I'm so proud!

You know, the only advice I could give here is that it looks like Buffy is standing in front of him. Her shoulder is overlapping his and from the perspective you've given us (her standing slightly behind him and down a bit) with it situated like that it seems that Buffy is wee!tiny, ahha! So, I'd either trace Spike's shoulder, copy it and paste it on top of everything (over her shoulder) or you could erase bits of the layer she's in until his shoulder overlaps. The first option is easiest.

You can also put noise on her to match the crackling of the rest since she's so in focus, but shouldn't be if she's behind him. Make sense? I like the textures, though! And I may still have a set of grunge brushes I can send you in a zip file. I'll check and see! (No assignment yet and I hope that doesn't mean he'll email me at 4pm to do 5 hours of work by tonight's deadline.)
