Mara 29 Posted August 29, 2007 (edited) Beeurd: Do you know who DJ Qualls is? He's skinny with longish brown hair... Are you looking for a kick in the face? Hey, you described Aston as skinny with longish brown hair.. and that's what DJ is. And, Drake, I'll have to think on it. Offhand though, I'm not quite liking the tilde. And the font. Could have more... I dunno, dimension or character to it? I found another flight suit model.... maybe you use a fuller pose... Link I dunno. It's pretty black though.. so if it's possible to lighten to gray? Or maybe this one? Edited August 29, 2007 by Mara Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rogue 4 Posted August 29, 2007 Beeurd: Do you know who DJ Qualls is? He's skinny with longish brown hair... Are you looking for a kick in the face? I was going to say...lol. *tries to think up a good guy for Aston to look like* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted August 29, 2007 Does anyone else find it highly ironic that Drake chose Jensen Ackles as Tak and Rogue chose Kristin Kreuk for Layla.. when a few seasons ago on Smallville, Lana was dating Jason (Jensen's character)? 'Cause I sure do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rogue 4 Posted August 29, 2007 (edited) When I pointed that out to him we had a good laugh. Anyway, B, here's one of my first idea for Aston. His name's Thomas Dekker, was adorable in Heroes as Claire's (somewhat strange) best friend, and he's going to be in "the Sarah Connor Chronicles" a Terminator TV show (release day unknown). Plus he kinda fits the younger profile that is 19 year old Aston. Edited August 29, 2007 by Rogue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drake 53 Posted August 29, 2007 And, Drake, I'll have to think on it. Offhand though, I'm not quite liking the tilde. And the font. Could have more... I dunno, dimension or character to it? I found another flight suit model.... maybe you use a fuller pose... Link I dunno. It's pretty black though.. so if it's possible to lighten to gray? Or maybe this one? I think the flightsuit he's wearing looks fine. Mostly because if I wanted to give him a new one, I would have to start all the way back at square one. If I put him in the banner as a full body shot, you won't be able to see any detail whatsoever. Unless I put him horizontal, he's going to be itty bitty. The tilde was just to add a little artsiness but I can kill it, lol. I'll fiddle with the font and crap and go from there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rogue 4 Posted August 29, 2007 (edited) *clears throat* Allow me to translate: *in Mara voice* Oh thank you Drake for spending your whole night making me such an amazing banner even though you didn't really have to, and still did it anyway! I know that I couldn't have done a better job, and cannot possibly criticize the amazing work you've done! I can't wait to look at it again later, admiring it the way you admire fine artwork. Thanks again! ;) Edited August 29, 2007 by Rogue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake 53 Posted August 29, 2007 No problem, Mara! Happy to be of service! :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted August 29, 2007 I'm really sorry, but I guess I should have said earlier that I get a bit picky when people make me banners. I mean, it's good... but I also feel that it's missing something. Some.. oomph. *shrugs* Maybe it's partly because the Artie and Kaden images just seem stuck on there, without any blending or shading or dimension on them. And like I said earlier... I wanted it to be halfway between full color and grayscale... But it's good. For now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drake 53 Posted August 29, 2007 My final attempt. I greyscaled it by half, fiddled with drop shadows and some embossing. Tried to give it as much "dimension" as a 2D image could possibly have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
