Just. Amazing.

love the avatar and fire sig more.

The ice one looks cool since it looks like there's a person in the top right kicking. Whether that was intentional or not it looks cool. I'm more for the fire one because no offense to you or anything, but it feels like the ice surroundings are pixelated. I don't know why, but that's what I thought.

Great work Valgaard!

Thanks!

I tweaked it a little bit. Shouldn't look that pixelated anymore.

I like the fire one more too

The ice one is intense, but it feels like there's so many things going on.
The fire one is just amazing.

Mh.. you're right. There is too much going on.
I'll change that sometime soon. Maybe fade out the background a bit more.


I posted a new one! (again)
Geez, I'm feeling creative today :>

Too much amazing sigs in one post.
Black and white owns.

This is insane. I will try and play with as many as possible. Thank you.

ooh ooh ooh, make one with electricity next. My current fav is still the fire one though.

great work, it's great to see some nice artwork.
maybe it'll end up changing the site

Now I love the bottom one as well. I like the maple leaves, and the jagged letters. Gives a sort of autumn/winter season feel to it.

yeah, my favorites would be the fire, and black and white one.

When I saw the bottom banner I thought: Japanese Haiku.

*Shrugs*

I don't know why but the second one seems kind of wrong. I guess since the polar opposite of the flame one you made earlier. Nothing against you or your abilities though. I still like the lettering though.

Really great job on all of them Val!

The thing I don't like about the ice one is that blue is ugly. Needs to be more blue, and brighter.

I'm not really sure if it's really because of the blue. Something's still off - I think that as well.
I'm kind of giving up on the icy one. I tweaked it so many times but it just doesn't satisfy me.. mhh :/

I'll tend to that after I got some sleep (2.30AM here).

To-Do-List for tomorrow: Create the Electric header/sig and finally find a perfect solution for the ice one.


Thanks for the constructive critic everyone! Always helps me to improve myself

No problem Val, I'll be looking forward to it as well. I should thank you for the awesome banners you've been making for us

G'Night to you.

Okay, I tweaked it again many many times and came to the conclusion that ice isn't blueish, but more white

I removed some effects to the left and to the right and some cracks - so it shouldn't look that overloaded anymore.
Furthermore I played around with the colors and the opacity. Looks more cold now I think.
I like where this picture is going. (doesn't look that intense anymore though because of the lost of contrast)
What do you think?


Here a direct comparison:


Version 2.0

Version 3.0

It looks much better now.
Almost gave me a heartfreeze.
I like the new border much better than the old one.

I like version 3.0 better. I guess what was bugging me was the of jagged icicles surrounding the entire banner.

I'm frozen just from just looking at it...

Very nice, I am trying to make an ice theme but the forum panel is being very buggy today.

Updated the Ice version, it is now completed.

And as much as I like that Japanese kind of logo, I can only make room for three elements.

So I will make a poll on it. ;O

Thanks. Looks cool ;D


New version is out!
Look at the first page

All hail Valgaard.
Electricity ftw.

Ugh I think I just got struck by lightning 200 times... Now I can't decide which on is my favorite.

Damn you Val and you're awesome banners!

Update: Added a new Avatar!
