Previous Entry Add to Memories Tell a Friend Next Entry

Kill Ten Rats has a banner competition in progress, one which requests shots from MMORPGs for their backgrounds.

With my recent obsession with creating icons, I'd be sorely pressed not to try and send in a few, no? (None of the following are full size. In fact, they're not even getting pushed over in the original format, with transparency so that they blend gently into whatever background colour you put them over. Moreover, the original request was for the banner without "Kill Ten Rats" imprinted over it. Fair enough.)

Kill Ten Rats - Auto Assault Banner

Kill Ten Rats - Guild Wars: Factions Banner

Kill Ten Rats - World of Warcraft Banner

You know, if I keep up this level of artistic composition, I might actually be decent at it, one day.

Actually, I'm strangely proud of these. Simple composition, some interesting layering effects, and nice fades. I love the rust texture on the AA one; its from their website kit and I patternized it ...

No reason why that'd be strangely proud. They're pretty good. With banners and the like, simple and striking compositions are really the way to go.

You're already decent. Keep at it and you'll achieve indecent.
