As you can see, I've been a little busier these weeks (there's like 10 comments in my profile that I didn't reply yet). I'll promise I'll talk with you more when I get ahead of my schedule.

Hurm. hurm. Enough bromance, this is not the thread for that.

Here's the 1.1 version :) I hope it's OK now.



Changelog: added the banners (except those made per individual users' request) to the first post so they can be found easier and used by anyone who want.

Btw, very nice work, Niyawa.
If you want any of your banners added to the first post list, you are ofc free to edit it.

Thanks, and funny because I was about to add all those banners. Man, for a second I could have started a work that was already done. I'd rage.

I'll put my sigs there once I adapt them to 600x112. It's going to be hard with DTB one because the original one isn't that big. I need Photoshop.

I REALLY like the banner Niyawa, I do, but for future reference- Can we please NOT use Japanese words and suffixes and whatnot on our banners? I feel it gives off the wrong impression of us and makes us sound like what we are supposed to be making fun of, you know?

I may be alone on this though.

Nah I think that makes sense. Jinrui seems like the only exception, because it's just referencing something from the show. But yeah, I don't think it's a good idea to throw out 'N***A THAT'S KAWAIIs' or 'ONII-CHANs' left and right. Awesome sig, Niyawa, btw.

Also, would it be too much to ask for a Space Brothers sig? That'd be great. :)

Nah, that sort of reference I made is something that usually only someone who actually watched Jinrui would get (ningen-san everywhere). After I saw the banner of Evangelion I had this idea to implement that wordplay. But in the Eva banner we have a english one so it's different. I'll post a new version later.

Same bro. There's just way not too many original works that I can try with. I've found 2 pictures, where in one of them both brothers are looking at the moon but not sure how I'm supposed to crop or resynthesize it. The other I'm just looking for a way to redraw it.

Thanks so much! You're really missing out on a fantastic series, you should definitely look into it.. Anyways, I found one possible image - I know nothing about cropping and resizing, but I guess as long as his face is in it the banner will be god-tier.

I didn't have many choices for a Gunbuster banner, since the good pics for this anime are not exactly numerous. So, I had to work with what I could find. In any case, this is the end result.

Thanks! Actually, the problem is not the size of the picture, but the way it can be cropped. It doesn't matter how I position it, we have Hibito in the dark void and there's just no emotion to it without the moon so we can have the perspective.

I made this one instead:

I'm not sure if people will recognize it's Uchuu Kyoudai though, the original image makes it more clear.

Btw, just a random nitpick about the banners, Niyawa. I may be alone on this, but I feel it'd look better if you put "The Anime Uber Elitist" text in a corner. It would fit its rectangular shape better. Just a suggestion, though.

I have to agree with Meta on the placement of the text. Also PLEASE make sure that when you make/use a banner with our logo it's something already on the list. =)

@Ducat - I'll vote for getting it in, I really enjoyed it and it's a series that can be thoroughly enjoyed by non-anime fans as well (some friends of mine who dislike anime liked it).

You are being nitpick indeed. I can easily edit and put it in any corners though, just wanted to make a experiment but meta-dono doesn't like so it's a no-go. I'll do something about it once I find what to put as a text in all of them.

Yes Amber, I've been doing the lists in that criteria. Can I leave the one with DTB while it's still ongoing process? If it doesn't enter then I'll remove it.

Haha, Amber also said so and from what I've seen since the first post of this thread, it's not like the users of the banners really care that much where the sign is located at. So the most optimal choice would be relocating it to it's original post where everyone liked it the way it was, including you, Amber and anyone else.

Ofc, I'd put an emphasis on Homu if I go with a multi-character banner. Well, I haven't started picture hunting so I am not sure what I'll end up with, so I can't say yet what it'll look like.
I will primarily focus on Homura alone, and if I find a good enough material for a banner that includes all the characters I'll make that as well, we'll see. It should be done tonight or tomorrow.

Niyawa- I'm sorry but if it doesn't make it in you can't keep it with the Elitist icon on there. The reason being that if we allowed that it would technically mean that anyone could slap out name on a banner using any anime series 'as long as it's not on relations'.

It sounds strict and silly but initially we weren't even letting people use Eva banners, even though we had End Of Evangelion on our list.

Sarcastic or not, we are still trying to portray an image.

As for Meta's suggestions- She's a pretty talented graphic artist so I would listen to her. Again we want our banners to reflect our 'image'. These shouldn't be treated like random member cards and such that are in other clubs but as something more. Your banners look nice but everyone can improve every aspect of themselves so don't get upset when someone tries to give you suggestions. =)

Done. Here's the banner.


No, wait, I am kidding, don't get upset. At least, not yet.


OK, now for real.
In the end, I picked the second option - Homura alone, because I didn't think any of the pictures with all the characters would really work as banners. Some were too busy, some couldn't be resized nicely, some had other issues.

Anyway, I made two banners, so you pick which one you like better. I hope they are not too colourful/strenuous for eyes.

And, while I was at it, I made one more Madoka banner. This one's more of a just-for-fun creation and I made it only because I stumbled upon this picture I quite liked, but I'll post it in this thread anyway.
