Miss Megara's Avatars and Banners

[Miss Megara]

All of these are pretty much old. I'll only be posting the Disney ones. I'll start with first made to last.

Avatars


I'll post the banners a little later.
Here are ze banners like I said. Oh I added a new avatar.

See what happens when one gets board?
I've made others, but they aren't Disney. However, I decided to include things I made that have Disney writings on them. I figured that would be O.K. So below we have some Star Trek Voyager Sigs with Disney song lyrics. They aren't exactly new, but...

I'm loving the "The right curves" and "I am a boyscout" avatars
Can't wait to see the banners :3

[Miss Megara]

Thanks. I couldn't pass the boyscout one. Of course you could make so many funny graphics with Icarus. All you have to do is think of something strange. I need to resize a few banners before I stick them up. There are at least 2 that would stretch the page.

[liongirl]

I like these! They're pretty good!

[Miss Megara]

Thank you. I finished resizing the banners,so yall will see them soon enough.

[Pride]

You are so great at blending! *is jealous*

[Miss Megara]

Thanks,but I really don't think I am. Anyway I'll stick up another banner sometime soon. I am just reinstalling some programs after wiping my hard drive.

[Miss Megara]

Here are two more banners. I wanted to put text on the Herc/Meg one but I could not think of anything.
If anyone has ideas...fire away.

"DUCK! Actually were birds"

that one made my laugh!! ahha

The Hercules one is quite good with your placement, really nice organization of the pictures, I would probably add some textures or something, or a screen layer to clarify the pictures a little bit more. Maybe a blurred softlight layer?

(Er, assuming you use Gimp, PSP or PS?)

I have both PSP and PS. I prefer PSP. Anywho...here is a new banner. I sort of experimented with a few new things just to see how it would come out and what might happen. The white you see is just the color white I put on making the backround transparent. Doing the text was rather interesting...I did many different things to it.

How do you think my experimenting turned out?

Me too! What version of PSP do you have?

Anyways... Onto the banner:

The two sides seem mismatched, which leads to a lack of unification. I would suggest adjusting the color on one or the other so that they are more unified, or adding some bolder colors as accents to the left and some subtler colors to the right to add some more balance. When cutting a texture/pattern/etc around characters; take your time, zoom in close and do it click by click. It may be slow at first, but after a lot of practice you can get to do it quickly. You can see lines around both that detract from the piece. I like the text, I just think it should be lowered to closer to the centre, perhaps with a some sort of outline or (something I use a lot) do a layer underneath it with the same text in black, drag it just to the left or right of the bottom of the text and set it to soft light - duplicate to taste. It is a nice idea, it just seems a bit lacking, keep working with it though! It has a lot of potential.

I have version 8.

I didn't do any cutting. I used the eraser tool to clean off the white from each couple. I use the eraser tool a lot. At least you didn't say you couldn't read the text. I'd have to say that was the most difficult...trying to find a color that would match and be readable on both sides.

Thanks for the input.

Me too. (:

I meant taking out other things = cutting them out to me. So no matter what tool you used, you were cutting something out of the picture. You should still be zooming in very close and erasing carefully around them because you can see all of the traces around them and it takes away from the image.

A new banner. And a Pocahontas one at that.
