Wow! Thanks Rin. "Sensational" is a new one for me. :blush: Lol, well some of them are better than others so "great" is good! :-)

I've added a new banner and avatar and changed the layout slightly. I think I'll go on an avatar spree! ;)

Wow, those are amazing! :o I voted 'Excellent'. I hope you don't mind if I write some comments. ;)

Drink Up Me 'earties Yo Ho-Wow, this one is gorgeous. Er, gorgeous isn't the word for it. So darn good looking. :p I love the thing you did with the text. The blending is great, too.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest-Wow, this one is beautiful. I love how you positioned the pictures and everything. The only thing is that it seems just a bit washed out, and the colors for the pictures on the left and the picture of Lizzy on the right are different, so it looks just a bit out of place. But I love the way you faded the medallion into the back, it added a great touch. I love how you did the text, too.

Jack & Barbossa-Wow, this one is really good. The blueness is very nice. :D I love soft effect you added. But compared to your other banners, it's a bit simple...not saying simple is bad, it can be good sometimes. Just pointing it out. :D I love the way you did the border, too.

Ye Will Always Remember- :jawdrop:

Undead Monkey-Wow, I love this one. I love the colors and everything. The text is also very well done. The only thing I see is that the picture of the monkey doesn't fit as well with the other pictures, but other than that, it's gorgeous. Er, looks so darn cool looking. ;)

James-Wow, this one is so pretty. I love the simplicity of it, and how you did the text, and the little brush on the left side.

Blindness Corrupts Even the Greatest-I love the colors for this one. But the pictures of Jack are a bit too blurry...oh wait, was it supposed to be like that? lol If it was, it's perfect. ;)

Pirate-This one is absolutely amazing. I love the boxy brush you added in the middle, it added a very nice touch. And the brush on the right side. But maybe the text stands out a bit too much? But other than that, it's amazing.

At the stars-:jawdrop:

Oh, *beep*-haha, this one is cool. I love how you split his face in the middle, and you have a closeup of his face on one side and a faraway shot on the other. The pictures were very well placed.

Unfortunately Mr. Turner-This one is really pretty, too. I love how you blended the pictures, too.

Jar of Dirt- :lol: :drool:

Hope you don't mind that I gave you tips. ;) It was hard, lol. But I was bored. :p

Wow Keyodie! Thank you very much the comments and tips. It was a very enjoyable read. And very useful! I've added a few of my thoughts to your comments. :-)

Drink Up Me 'earties Yo Ho- Personally I've always found this one to be a bit to..orange? I tried a different technique for that one and I'm not sure it worked as well as it has done for others but if you like it it must be good! ;)

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest- Ah, you have no idea how long this took me! So hard! It was actually a request banner so the pictures were already given - and your right - the Liz picture is the wrong colour. Too blue. So I tried to disguise it by making the entire banner have a bluey-white hue.

Jack & Barbossa- Yes, your right. It is pretty simple. It was actually a very, very late request so I tried to get it done as quickly as possible. Once I got the blue glow done though, I didn't feel the need to add anything else.

Ye Will Always Remember- I actually think this is quite a simple one and I wasn't sure if I liked it at first but it's grown on me.

Undead Monkey- Yeah, I'm thinking I should have made the monkey more orangey or blended it in more. It was hard to find decent pictures but I loved the quote so much I had to make it! Actually I wish I had used a different font as I don't think it matches..but it is a Jack Sparrow quote so anything goes!

James- This is actually one of my "accidental" banners. It just happened to end up like that. I was also inspired by Arwen's recent "eye banners" so I have to thank her for the inspiration.

Blindness Corrupts Even the Greatest- I'm not sure about this one. I keep thinking "too blurry" and then "it's nice". It looks Ok blurry and it looks different but..hmm...it will grow on me.

Pirate-Yeah, this one went together well. I didn't know what to add to the centre as it looked a bit bland and I'm a bit unsure about the squares, maybe I should have out the text there. I actually quite like the text standing out but perhaps being a little more transparent would have been good.

At the stars- Oh, yeah..this one. I banged my head against a wall for 2 days because of this. There are so many layers I've lost count! I wanted some sort of quote to do with hope or despair and then I found that one and it just seemed to fit. So the banner was designed around the night sky, hence the colour. This is another of my favourites.

Oh, *beep*- This was pretty good to make. It just came together really well. I wanted something for the middle so I decided on the split images (something I've tried before and has never worked). It worked really well so I'm pleased with this one. It's such a fun scene you can't really go wrong.

Unfortunately Mr. Turner- This was hard to do because of the text. I really wanted the whole quote and I just managed to squeeze it in without it looking too crowded.

Jar of Dirt- Again this one came to together so well. I really wanted to do a banner of this scene but as so many others had already done it, I found it hard to make it different. That's when I rememberd the "other" dirt quote.

That was really weird, commenting on my own stuff. :P Thanks again Keyodie for the comments. :hug:

Aw, your welcome. :p :hug: I thought maybe for the one with the blurry-ish pics of Jack, it was supposed to be blurry because it was about blindness. :D

PotC Dead Man's Chest-Ah, alright. :D Considering you were given the pictures, you did really well! :)
