WOAH. They are amazing! You have such a talent with graphics :-o may I suggest one teeny thing? The text effects that you use are good, but some of them don't really match with the banner. Otherwise, good job! You've got a very unique way of blending :)

Thank you :)

I agree with you that some texts and banners don't match.
I've had a problem some times with that.

But of late I usually first write the text and put in size, effects etc. and then I scroll through my font collection untill I find one I like.
If I can't find a fitting one I usually go to dafont.com and look up a new one. ;)

PS. Tested out a technique to change colours on clothing and this is the result.

Wow, that's a really nice style. Beautiful banners! (My fave's the Sam one!) Fancy photoshoppy + LotR. I think you've inspired me! :-D

I love how you changed the hood on Arwen's cloak! It's so well done, anyone who didn't know about LotR would've thought that it hadn't been changed at all :)

May I ask what program you use?

You're wonderful.

Just...wow.

I won't say I could never get that good because everyone should now that with practice you get better right? Who knows, maybe someday I will.

Beautiful stuff – I'm jealous! I'm curious, though, if you don't mind sharing. What's the technique you used to change the color of Arwen's cloak? I use Photoshop CS too....

Thank you all for the oohs and aahs. :-D ;)

I'll try and make some kind of tutorial thing for the colour changing when I got time. :)

Heres a new signature:

I know this is off topic, but I've found that in Photoshop 7, if you select what you want to change, and go to Image>Adjustments>Channel Mixer and fiddle around in there you can change the colors.

Wonderful ne siggies, love the Gandalf one!
