Some quick banners I've been working on

[TheAwesome]

Here are some quick banners made using GIMP. I had first uploaded them on another forum a couple of years ago. I had completely forgotten them until recently. Most of these are made in less than 30 minutes, sometimes even 15 minutes, so don't judge me too harshly, as I was new to graphic editing at the time as well. I have lots, so I'll just upload 'em all in one thread instead of pointlessly uploading a bunch of them.

I lost a few of them when I got my new laptop, but these are the ones that I can scavenge.

Whats the point of them?

Maybe you should post in that 'not worth starting a thread about' thread. If it took you under half an hour when you first started messing with graphics, why would it be worth us caring about? It sounds like you don't even care about them.

[Ercoledi]

I suddenly feel obligated to post everything I have ever made, ever.

[ChuckNorris]

Hmmmm halo guy?Very strange.That is all

I'm going to make lots of these, and unlike Metalhead, I won't post hundreds of individual posts pertaining about a single object.

@ Ercoledi:
You go ahead, you know you want to.

I don't like them at all.
very cliche' and ameteur.

I thought the thread was 'Some Quick Boners I've Been Working On.'

I'm no longer interested

[Hats of!]

Oh, lots of colours splashing around.

The slave of audio is at it again. :mnyd:

The artistic merit in this thread is overwhelming.

This thread has changed my mind about the image sig issue. Ban them forever.

I am an amateur at this. Anything else means I do it for a living.

[exetra]

Or just let people who aren't faggots have them

[Spastic]

I liked the one with the generic filter.

[exetra]

I liked the one with the homosexual video game characters.

[Dacada]

I liked the one with the generic video game characters but not the one with the homosexual filter.

Looks like every other banner ever on the net, a cropped image involving someone else's artwork.

Since these were posted for (presumably) constructive criticism, I'll do my best to criticise constructively. As I said it looks the same as all the other banners on the internet so I can't really say anything there.

The left guy on the first banner (Rakion) is blurry as hell, was that intentional or did you just get a really bad picture of him? The text in the second image is just way out of place, the third image could be mistaken for a strange fantasy fetish, as pointed out by exetra, the last image is just plain, plain.

If you cannot tell I have a dislike for this type of "art". Since these were done years ago when you were still new to graphic art, maybe you should post some new banners that will absolutely change my view on the art form. Or like a drawing or something.
