Silencers/Ryuukus Playpen(banners, 56K warning)

[Silencer]

First I'll explain the title. Here I'm known as Silencer on other boards I'm know as Ryuuku. Some of my work (at this point just 1) has the name Ryuuku on it so that should explain it.

Now, I was introduced to banner making not to long ago and tried out several things. I ended up with all of the following banners (if there is a restriction on the amount of pictures to one post then mods may feel free to change some of the pictures to links)

First is a pic of how my OLD work was before a friend helped me out

now after his help, the first one ended up like this


Then I played around with banners. This is one of the results, the links hold the others

After that I started going full throttle and these are all the results so far

















Now, I will be taking request because frankly, I'm out of ideas to work with >_<.

Here is the request form

Images: Is there a specific image you want me to use or just a certain character. I might ask to PM me some pictures in case I don't know the character.
Text: What do you want the banner to say? Your name or something else?
Colors: What kind of colors would you like to see in it? pretty basic stuff
Size: I'm used to working with 550 x 200 pixels but if you want it another size please state so
Border: Do you want it to have a special border like the "Art is a bang" collection or the Orochimaru and Naruto one?
Others: What I might have forgotten

[Ultimate Charizard]

Is it Naruto only or can other requests be made.
I need something up to date stylee for my sig and was looking at a fiery Charizard banner in your style.

Images: Charizard in Flight, Roaring would be cool if you can find a pic

Text: Just Ultimate Charizard should be ok
Colors: Mostly Reds/Oranges etc
Size: Just the standard banner size you used in your examples is fine.
Border: Nah no border please
Others: What im after more than anything is the action. Im not a fan of static pose banners, of which you have none im pleased to say . Theres something going on, not just charachter pasted on a background.

[Silencer]

Don't worry, it's not only Naruto.

My friend went to this Naruto forum so I decided it might be best to use Naruto characters to practise and get responses there

anyway...





I posted 2 because I thought both text results were nice and leave you with the choise. If you want to see something changed, feel free to ask. I still have the psd file so it shouldn't be to much trouble.

A little sad that both wings were clipped in the picture...

[Ultimate Charizard]

Well if you ever come across a pic thats better (ie without so much clipping) then by all means make it better but thats awesome for now.
Thanks alot.

One thing i think could be improved though. I know i said Reds in the colours but now that i look at it i prefer the Orangy colour youve used on your Naruto banner. I know it runs the risk of merging with Charizard but it seemed to work well on Naruto.

[Blademaster]

Hey, Si - you think you can do some recoloring of certain anime characters? I want a banner for Yu-Gi-Oh!: Twilight Princess, but...

[Silencer]

@UC:
a more orangy version?
maybe this?



@Blade:
Hm, recoloring. Send it over, I'll see what I can do. Might not turn out like you want though, haven't really tried before.

[Ultimate Charizard]

Thats better. Doesnt look as dark n moody now.
Bit Livelier...sweet!
