    Re: Make me matching everythingz!

    I have stuff prepared for the banner and background, but I've got nothing so far for the the avatar and signature.
    edit: I hope the new changes to the profiles won't make me have to redo everything.
    another edit: I think I have to shrink the banner size, but I won't do that yet, and it seems that they might've fixed the header problem where it was off by 1px on each side, so I think my background will have to be changed, but it would be an easy fix.

        Alright, I guess this is the point where I stick in criticisms?

        Image 1:
        I like the bar behind the name going across the whole image

        Image 3 & 4:
        Looking at it right away I liked the arrow idea, but after a bit more looking and really thinking about it... It bothers me a little. Unless there is something tying it to the background, it really seems out of place.
        I like the darker purple in the back vs. the pinkish in these.

        All images:
        Is that a chibi ichigo? never saw a picture of that around...
        the cuts in the background are a neat idea. I will quickly put up something I kinda thought of, brb getting screenies.

          Few screenies of Starcraft. Nothing too special.
          I just wanted to see how that cut background for the banner would look if it was a HUD outline instead? When I first looked at that picture I was reminded of the HUD...
          The biological looking one is Zerg, the Terran(human) one is the mechanical looking one... and the last one with crystals and stuff is Protoss...

          Other then that the best I can say at the moment is that on Blizzards site they have a bunch of concept art for Starcraft 2 units... you can use some of those... Probably much better images to work with then say the crappy super pixelated units in my screenies http://www.starcraft2.com/artwork.xml (units kinda follow the same scheme as the Huds... biological looking ones are Zerg, humans are terran, and the old guys with photon phasers and energy blades are protoss... I typically play as Zerg)

              Hud = Heads Up Display
              I was thinking that if you changed the jagged thing in the background to the outline of the HUD from Starcraft it might look better...

              In the banners you made you have a really jagged thing going (where the top pinkish/purple moves into the boxes) I was just wondering what i would look like if instead it was to have the outline of one of the races from Starcraft's HUD.

              http://www.saik0.com/Untitled-1.jpg = Hud(zerg)

              Edit: keep the colors and boxes and whatnot... just change the outline to one of the huds. I just wanna see if I like the subtle starcraft reference.

                There's a header and background. I used a picture from StarCraft 2 concept art. The background is made the same size as the header, so it's sure to go seamless between the banner and background with the new way FFR handles the background.

                I'm sorry I didn't use the Hud thing, but it's too difficult for me to try to make it seamless between the header and background or have the background tile seamlessly with it.

                  It's fine not to use it, I just wanted to see what it would look like in that particular case...

                  Not to make you feel bad, but that font is atrocious... >_> I'm more of a stylish cursive person... I just don't like the font... I missed that concept art... I do like that... the border kinda cuts off their backs though. A less obtrusive border in this case would be better... But it's a good start! I look forward to seeing more!

                      Tree looking? Let me MS paint you what I mean...
                      Look for an edit in about 10 minutes...

                      Edit: http://www.saik0.com/This.jpg Shows what I wish to replace... This is just to see if I like the subtle reference... I like seeing just subtle references that work.

                                Yup the whole nine... remember that I like Bleach too man ;P I noticed you missed that...(Shinigami thing references that... would be a mistake to not reference that...) sorry if that's more work... but remember there's subby involved!

                                @Chidori!
                                Go for it... I surprise myself with what I like at times...
